WESTWARD Is THE WAY.
Charles T.. Whiiloek's New and Eierant
stores on Broad Street.

stores on Broad Street.
The man who knew Richmond well
twenty years ago would hardly recog-
nize the place as the same, if he were to
turn up some Of these crisp, cool morn
ings in the city and take ramble
through the West End. The lines OF
the streets have pushed themselves
along out toward the west. New
residences Of the prettiest modern style
lend an air Of aristocracy where frog
ponds were once, and dingy, old-fash-
ioned houses have been forced to disap-
pear before the advance of enterprise
and the demands of progress. Rich
mond is rapidly stretching out her arms
in every direction, and her trade, re-
spending to the changes made in popu-
lation and size, is quietly adjusting itself
to the alterations made necessary.
One Of the recent indications of a
new order of things in the trade world
is the erection on Broad street, between
First and Second, Of row of large
business houses with residences above.
-Four of these were built by Mr.. G. f.
. Whitlock. who gave his personal super
vision to every detail and for division
and economy Of space, ventilation, and
light. they are hardly equalled in any
CITY. The houses run back distance
of l29 feet and front twenty-iour.
and are so arranged that any OF
these houses can be converted into
one. or any two into one. There
are ONLY five stores on Broad street
with as wide front, and no store in the
city with such protection from damage
by water as these.
1t is impossible to scale the high
brick walls in the rear Of the stores.
and this gives perfect safety from bur
glars who might want to enter from that
direction.
In front of the stores two Of the
large Sieman gas-lamps will turh night
into daylight almost. Mr.. Whitlock
purchased one Of these lamps and pre-
sented it to the city.
The timber used in the houses was
selected with great care by Mr.. Whit
lock, and is of the very best material.
The residences above the stores are
models Of comfort, and have every APP
plisnce that can be found in the best
houses on Franklin street. Indeed,
few houses anywhere, in space, ventila-
tion. and general arrangement. equal
them in attractivenesS. These stores
seem admirably adapted, in their ap-
pointments and location, for first-class
dry-goods business. and they are in close
proximity to the iirst-claSs custom
of our city.
First street will soon have its side
walk widened. the Council having al
ready agreed to condemn the property.
Then this will be popular and fash
ionable resort from the West End to
Broad street, and the new stores will
be in the most convenient locality.

The concert at Sanger Hall last eve
ming. given by Miss Magruder and her
brother. was well attended by an ap-
prcciatiye audience. many Of whom
were friends and admirers Of the late
General J. Il. Magruder. \ we'll
chosen programme was rendered, and
all present seemed to be highly enter
tanned. Miss Magruder has a voice
soprano in quality-that has been re-
markably cultivated abroad. She sings
with decided emphasis. and seems to
enter thoroughly into the spirit of the
theme she discourses. giving a singular
ly original and marked Interpretation
withal.
Her brother, Mr.. Henry Magrudcr.
sings tenor. and gives evidence of the
same foreign schooling. They received
several enc0r,S, to which they kindly
responded. Mr. Laube and Mr. Bauer
took part in the concert, and were
warmly received and encorei. the form
er for two wcll-executed violin solos
and the latter in two difficult compost
tions for the piano.

position of civil cases. The criminal
docket has been cleared.
The case of Heider against Robert

DOUBLE-FUNDING NATTER.
Bonds That Came Out OF the Treasurer's Of
Zee offered for Funding.

1ce offered for Funding.
Two State bonds that were years ago
surrendered to the Commonwealth in
exchange for other bonds have been
offered at the Capitol to be funded
in Rddlcberger bonds. One issued
under Act of 81, a cOupOn-bOnd for
1000. was surrendered into the hands
of the State Treasurer III 1860. and
ought to have been then cancelled, but
was not, and got out Of the Treasurer's
Office in some illegal way; was possibly
carried off when the Federal troops
were occupying the Capitol in 1865.
1t has on it coupons from January.
1880.
The other is a coupon bond for $500
issued January, 1867, and surrendered
July, 1869. This, too, was not can
cellcd as it should have been, and was
taken from the Trcasurer's office.
Both of these bonds are now the pro-
perty of banking firm here, who pur-
chased them for full value from we'll
known New York house. Present own
ers contend that, being coupoa bonds
and transferable by delivery and ne
gotiable, the State is bound for them.
Attorney General Blair has given an
opinion sustaining the claim Of the
holders. The Second Auditor, how
ever. refuses to recognize the liability,
on the ground that the State should
not be made to pay debt twice, and be-
cause the Attomey-General gave his
opinion without notice to the Second
Auditor, and further because the opin-
ion Of the Attorley-General is not
decree of court.
The 1000 bond in question is now
cancelled, that having been done in the
Treasurer's Office in 1882, where they
were on the eve of issuing new bond
for it when they found that it had pre-
viously been surrendered to the State.
These cases will now probably go
into the courts for determination Of the
questions involved.
Several other bonds illegally out
standing have turned mp in different
parts Of the country, Colonel Rufiin is

DIED AMONG STRANGERS.
A story thai.Comes from Atlanta-Tne Craw
ford Gls-.

ford t1s-.
A New York paper has the following
ATLANTA. Ga. January o.
About two months ago there arrived in
this city a stranger. with blue eyes,
light hair, and blonde complexion. He
seemed to avoid company and sought
retirement. He was afflicted with a
spinal disease, which compelled him
TO use crutchcs. In a few days he grew
worse, and when in his death
throes he called the landlady to his
side, and. taking letter from his
bosom. directed to a Virginia town. hc
asked her to put it in a letter-bOX at
once and report to him. llurrying to
comply with his request, she returned
to find him dead. a subscription was
taken up and the body was buried in a
pauper's grave. Since then inquiries
sent out from Richmond, Va, for
Clerk Crawford. of Bland county. has
drawn attention to marked reSem-
blance between the man who died here
and that officer.
Some time ago Crawford was called
upon by the State Auditor of Virginia
to make settlement. A reply was
sent that Crawford had gone to Rich
mond with money necessary to make
the settlement, and this gave rise To
fears that he had been foully dealt with
on the way. The poverty Of the man
who died here is accounted for on the
theory that Crawford, having arrived
in Richmond, fell into the hands of
sharpers and was robbed of his money.
and that dreading the consequences, he
cut himselflOose from home and friends.
and arriving in Atlanta sick, desperate,
and under an assumed name. he died.
and his remains were sent to the Pot
ter's field. Investigation in regard TO
his identity is going on.
Here in Richmond it is not thought
that the deceased is Mr.. Crawford.
SO far as known, Mr.. Crawford did
not come to Richmond when he lett
home, December 4th.
The Dispatch received the following
last night:
WYTHEvILLE. VA. January 30.
We have learned nothing contradictory
of my report of Crawford being IN
Georgia. His friends here think he is

In accordance with act Of Assembly.
the Board of Public Works have sub
mitted to the Hon. b. X. Wexford, Jr.,
Judge of the Circuit Court of Richmond
city, detained report Of their proceed
ings in the matter of the sale of the un-
used public property in the city of Rich
mond and town of Buchanan.
The highest bids made for each piece
of property are given, and the report
closes as follows:
We respectfully report that in our
opinion II would be best for the interest
of the State that the sale of the Armory
grounds to the Tredegar Company for
sl6. 900 should not be confirmed, and
therefore we recommend that your
Honor set aside that sale.
In regard to the sale of the Public
warehouse in this city for s53,O00; the
sale to s. W. Venable & Co. of that part
of the Penitentiary-spring lot purchased
by them for sl3, 600; the sale to JEFF
ferson Powers of the Rope-walk lot for
s255: and the sale TO w. n. Johnston
of the Public warehouse in Buchanan
for sl20, we think the prices obtained
reasonable. and therefore recommend
the confirmation of said sales respec-
lively.
But we would respectfully suggest
that should your Honor coincide with
us as to the propriety of confirming the
sale to s. W. Venable ( Co., that it
would be we'll TO embody in the decree
of confirmation stipulation that the
Commonwealth Of Virginia expressly

the map marked Exhibit H., and here

served right to lay as often as may
