occupied The doors were closed shortly after
o'clock, those outside in Castle Terrace, now
numbering several thousands. being informed by
means of bills which were exhibited that the hall

Edinburgh Courant
At the close of the proceedings DR.. Talmage
shook hands with as many Of the people as could
get near him; but the crowd pressed forward IN
such way that those in the front ranks were
crushed to an uncomfortable degree, and this
put temporary check upon the leavetaking:
DIR. Tamage then re-entered the building and
made his way to the rear Of the hall. where cab
was in waiting for himself and family Upon his
appearance a crowd rapidly assembled, eager to
shake hands with him, and crowded around the
cab in such way that it could not move until
the police cleared passage. A few gentlemen
jumped upon the cab steps, ladies got their
dresses soed with mud by rubbing against the
others, cot their toes crushed by the wheels. DR..
Talmage then stood and shook hands over the
back of the cab as hard as he was able, and it
was not until Lothian road was reached that the
efforts of the police in keeping back the crowd
were no longer needed ss $50

on Aug 49, Mr., Ross owed the county ST., 1896
There is report on file in the auditors Office
showing that any part of this amount has been
paid. but it has been ascertaiDed that Mr.. Call
his successors has receipted to him for $27 500
1t has also been learned that Ross has assigned
in trust to j.. A. j. Brunt, for the benefit of the
county, all his property, consisting of real es-
tate, notes and accounts, estimated to be worth
$685. 900. The present value of the latter will
not, in all probability be more than half that
amount, and the &C tual deficit will reach about
$25, 900. Mr.. Ross seemed to entertain the opin-
ion that the commissioners would give him time
to convert his collateral of questionable value
into money. and no suit would be brought.

Meeting of Grant and Lee.
lcorrespondence Cincinnati Enonirerl

Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer
There are but two or three obscure look
ing houses to the north behind the court
house, and in few steps one comes in sight
of the two or three memorable spots of
that brief occasion. The first is the spot of
where Grant met General Lee for the first
time during the war. A thorn tree former
ly stood right opposite where is now large
gum tree at the roadside. At that point the
road drops into the bottoms of the Appo-
mattox River, and right at the crest it ap
pears that Lee had either come up with his
horse or had halted there, and Grant coming
through the court house cluster, met Lee at
this crest. They Saluted each other, ex-
changed few words without any ceremony,
and arranged where to meet to complete the
event, and then Lee went off northward to
his headquarters, which were in piece of
clear woods about one mile distant, on the
top of the opposite slope, to the right of the
road. The road from the spot where these
gentlemen first met winds little downward
and is Of a nearly blood-red clay; hardly any
stones are to be seen in this vicinity.
The Appomattox River is such slim little
brook or creek that enc has to look carefully
to distinguish it at the bottom of the fields.
Just beyond the stream which gives a mere
ford at the road is field of no great size
which had been ploughed and narrowed a
day or two before came; in that field stand
about dozen, hardly more, large old apple
trees, probably the remnant of formerly
large apple orchard. The trees appear to
have so years growth. 1t is a tradition that
General Lee raised white flag, or that his
executive officer did so, in the field, by one
of the apple trees. The neighbors, or the
