Federals by the Confederate forces un-
der General Price.
The facts concerning the siege and
surrender of the city which occurred in
September, 1861 are too well known to
give them much space here.
The Federals commanded by Colonel
Mulligan were entrenched in the old
Masonic College, now Central Female
College. Here they were besieged by
the COnfederates under General Price.
The siege lasted about week, finally
after heavy bombardment lasting
from O'Clock Wednesday 18th to 8
O'Clock Friday goth. Colonel Mulligan
surrendered uncOnditionally.
No more beautiful place is found in
the surrounding country than the scene
of this battle, the bluff north of Central
Female College. Here IN the spring
the lindens bend beneath burden Of
odorous, cream cOlored blossoms, and
dainty wild rose petals drift among the
grass which covers the ground around
with carpet Of emerald velvet. The
river CLEANS below and away, like II

in the distance, looks like fairy VII

September 1886, was held re union
of the veterans of the war. On the

with their blood the blue and the grey
clasped hands. This reunion was
graced by the presence of Mrs. Multi
gan a most lovely lady and her two at
tractlve daughters.

CITIZENS MEETING.
THE QUESTION OF STREET CROSS
INGs ON THE RESERVATION
Ii vigorously Urged by the Citizens
of the sixth and Eighth
4 Wards.

The citizens OF the Sixth and Eighth
wards are making strenuous efforts to
have Lamar and Adams streets opep-
ed across the railroad reservation, and
have crossings established.
Numerous meetings have been held
recently, and in fact the matter has al
ready been urged before the council.
Last night a meeting Of the citizens
of the two wards was held at No. 4
engine house, when the following reso-
luton was presented by the Sixth ward
committee ana adopted:
To the Citizens Of the Sixth Ward
Gentlemen: Your committee appointed
to devise ways and means for opening
street crossings over the railroad res
ervation beg to report that we have
met with like committee appointed by
the citizens OF the Eighth ward and
that In conjunction with them we have
selected an attorney at reasonable
price. We further say that from the
best information we can get, II Is our
opinion that the city council has the
power to pass an ordinance directing
the city marshal TO remove the OBJ
structions that now Interfere with the
public use OF the crossings over said
reservation, and TO direct the street
commissioner to do the work necessary
TO put said crossing In condition for
public travel. We believe Il IL easily
SUSCEPTIBLE OF proof that there are law
full publichlghways across said reserva-
ton both at Lamar and Adams streets
We also believe that the matter should
