SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS.
Masaer Ferrall and Dobbin Purchase
Tuckers stook but Inventory not
Completed. . - i CvUiS.":
The sealed bids for the purchase
of the goods of Tucker's store were
received by the trustees Wednesday
afternoon and since that time the
store has been closed.
It is known that Messrs Joe Fer
rall and Theo Dobbin made a bid
for the purchase of the entire res
maining slock at a pro ratn price on
tht- cost of the poods in New York
and their b d has been virtually ac
cepted by the trustees, although the
bargain has not been concluded and
will not be until the inventory is
finished and it is ascertained just
the amount which the bid will briny
for the stock. This inventory will
probably be finished tomorrow.
One of the trustees was seen to
diy and he refused to talk, saving
that he could mane no announce
ment until the inventory was com
plete.
Mr. Ferrall was neked if he and
Mr. Dobbin had purchased the
stock, and he answered in the uN
Urinative He said that he and Mr.
Dibbin would announce their plans

HIS Sl'C' KSSOR.
The QueMi'.n is Who will succc.J Judge
Kwart.
As soon as Judge Kwart'sappoiut
ment as judge of the federal court.
Western district, s confirmed he
will forwprd his resignation to
Governor Russell and the Governor
will then appoint his successor ;.s
judge of the western criminal court.
This position la-tyear paid $2,800
and is not a placed to be sneered ..t.
The general (.pinion here i thut
Russell will appoint Col V S Lusk,
who was candidate for the federal
jldgeship Th only question
seems now to be: Will Col Lusk
accept the. place now? If perchance
he should be unwilling to taktf it,
which is not anticipated, there are
many aspirants for the place. Among
these are Eugene D. Caiter, jidge
of the Asheville police emit; John
A. Hendricks, of Madisou, O V. F.
Blythe and H S Anderson,
bf Henderson, and George H.
Smathees. 'of Haywood John Hen

, chance next to L'sk by some of the
politicians here.

JOHN IN TROUBLE.
A Former Citizen of Raleigh Conies to
Grief In Umham.
The Durham Herald has the fol
lowing to say about J. J. WUhart
who once kept a barber shop at the
Park hotel.
"J. J. Wishart, the man who is
said to have given the Solicitor the
names of Chose who took chances in
his polly-wants a-cracker and woo
pol'y back, is in hard luck. He is
undergoing the punishment which
might have been the fate of those
whom he informed, but for the fact
that they were able to give bond.
"Yesterday evebing he was ar
rested and all his efforts to give
bond proved futile, so after be bad
exhausted a'l efforts, be was p'aced
in jail.
"We don't know whether this
man gave Dames for money, or
whether he did so thinking the so
licitor had the names already and
hoped to get out of it himself by tes
tifying against them He has re
ceived right much cursing for the
part he took in the mat'er, and is
now in jail. If be did all with
which be is accuse t, he is not the
only one who interested themselves
n working up cases. There' are
others, and they are knon "

Transfer Depot.
The Salisbury WorlQ had it last
night from a reliable source that a
transfer depot for freight would soon
be built at Spencer. At this depol
the Salisbury and Greensboro freight
will ait be transferred.
As is well know the Southern has

to building railroad offices at Spencer

COAST SURVEY.
he Stones in the t apltn! square will
Not be Disturbed.
Si .me citiz-n have been uneasy
lest the stones in ibe capitol, placed
there by ihe coast survey, be dis
turned in the terracing, bat they
will not. These three stoins in the
southeast comer were placid there
in 1857 by the O US coast survey
On the lowest stones are the letters
,-U S C S. A cuiz n once told nie,
says Col O ds in Orphans Friend,
t int the "Uiii'ed Slates put two of
the letters there and that when the
Ooi fed- rate Slates were in charge of
iheiiffairs 'OS "wasadded. There
is a copper bolt let in the fence j isi
to '-be south of the lower stone which
is diyided by a cross cut tbusX.
Then on the north fence there is an
other copper marker. The line be
tween these showed what was at the
lime ncrth when they were placed
there. At the northeast, corner is
the corner -tone. On its east face
is the in-cription: "July 4, 188.1."
On its north face is a round
copper plate, 2J inches in diam
eter, with an inscription stating that
it is the true Meridian for North
Carolinr and that the penalty for
damage or removal is$25it. It indi
cates the basis of all surveys in
North Carolina and is said to be
more accurate than the mark at
Greenwich. A 1,000 stars were ob
served to place these atones.
SMALL POX SCARE
This City is Considered Per
fectly Safe.
GOVERNOR VACCINATED
Or. Rogera Vaccinated Hla Excellency
and Hla Private Secretary This
Morning One Death Re
ported at Charlotte.
The smallpox scare exists in sev
eral towns of this sta'e now. Tha
aldermen of Wilmington, Salisbury
and Charlotte have made vaccination
compulsatory. la Concord and sev
eral other places many citizens have
been voluntarily vaccinated.
However, very few cases have
been found in this state! The only
ones which have been mentioned in
the papers are twocases in Wilming
ton and two in Charlotte. The auth
orities in these cities are confident
that the disease is under complete
control and cannot spread.
The people of .this city Have no
fears of thedisease visiting U.ileigh.
Someci'izens have been o:uutarilv
vaccinattd, but no steps towards
compulsatory vaccination have been
deemed advisable byxthe authorities
here.
This morning Dr. James Rgers
paid a professional visit to the Sta'e
Capitol with a view of protecting
some of the state officials from an at
tack of small pox.
He first attended to the needs f
his excellency's private secretary,
Maj. Joe Alexander, and when he
had been properly vaccinated on the
ft arm the doctor proceeded i :to
the inmost sanctuary where King
Daniel presides and proceeded to
perform a like operation on the up
per left appendage of the governor.
The Charlotte News leports the
first death from the disease there
yesterday. The News says:
"William Jacksou, colored, Char
lotte's first smallpox patient, died at
h's home on South McDowell streit
this morning al 5 o'clock.
"Jackson h id been in a precarious
condition since yesterday morning
and in the evening his condition rap
idly grew worse. The authorities
took charge of the body as soon as
possible.
"The authorities early this morn-
rig sent a coffin to the homeof Jack
son. ibe body was placed in tne
cofliu by members of th" family. It
was then found that no one would
tike the body to the cemetery Chief
Orr tried in vain to -get some help.
"Finally, this afternoon the boilv
was taken to the cemet ry where i1
was buried in a grave of unusual
depth.
"The bouse that is occupied by the
Jackson family is owned by Dr.
Will Graham It is probable that
he and the city authorities will come
agreemeut; if so the building will be
burned with all its contents.
"The buildings that have been se
cured to be ready for the recepcion
of those whom the authorities think
best to detaiikthis afternoon, and it
is more thau probable that the
Wagner woman and the famiiv of
Willi im Jackson. will be taken there
this afternoon. ''
An indignation mass-meeting of
the citizens of Wilmington was held
Wednesday night to protest against
the action of the aldermen in m. iking
vaccinatior. compulsatory. The
contended thai the danger has now
passed and the action of the board
was useless, expensive and foolish.
Tliree of the physicians appointed
to do 'he vaccinating ha e resigned
since they are unwilling to serve.
One of the doctors announces that
be encountered so much opposition
among the people that he found ii
impossible to "arry out the order of
the boa'd.

three strong men and told to depart.
However, he lingered near until
Hughes did appear and then he as
saulled him. He went away ami

JIM YOUNG WITHDRAWS
Writes Senator Pritehard That He la Not
a Candidate for the fostoflice.
Jim You"g, in a letter to Senator
Pritehard, announces his with
drawal from the contest for the Ra
leigh postoilice. Jim's letter gives
the following reason:
"Referring to the conversation
between you, Recorder Cheatham
and myself, on the 22d of last De
cetnber. in relation to the postmas
tershipof this city, and at which
you expressed a desire, readiness
and willingness to support me for
said position, I will say that afs
ter mature deliberation, I have de
cided to withdraw from said con
test for several reasons, but chief
among which, I may mention, the
fact that the Democratic partv, by
it -i hypocritica cry of "White vs.
Negro Domination," might find iu
my appointment to said position a
powerful weapon with which to in
11 tine the minds of prejudiced peo
pie, and thereny gain an advantage,
which otherwise tuey do not pos
sess." The letter closes by saying:
"The Civil Service Law, which
would keep Democrats iu the office.
contrary to my wishes, while Repu
blicans just as fli :ient and deserv
ing as I am, wouldi b'l kept out of
those places, is another reason why
I do not desire the place."
