This is What Colonel Mosby Says in Re-
card TO the Grant Monument Dedication,

/ This ~ Nhat 'oiohei hosDY says In re
gard to the Grant Monument Dedication,
Colonel Jno. S. Mosby. the famous Con-
federate commander. arrived in the city
at 1880 o'clock last evening over the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad.
Conflicting reports have been in cir
/ cuation for some days past as to wheth-
! er Colonel Mosby would attend the Grant
Memorial Monument dedication exercises
/ TO be held on the 9th Of this month.
Colonel Mosby was asked to give The
| Times q correct statement Of the matter
/ His very emphatic reply was:
Il will not attend.
lie did not care TO make a statement
I'm regard 20 IT,.
A telegram from Washington several
| days ago said that IL was Colonel MOsby S
first intention to be present. His reasons
for the reversal Of his decision was given
as being that he had not received an Of
ncial invitation from any OF the gentle
men I'm charge OF the parade.
The organization OF the Sons OF Con-
federate Veterans Of New York, through
their representative. Mr.. Allen II. Tow
son, invited Colonel Mosby TO lead their
band. but as none Of the officers I'm charge
of the formation Of the parade made any
request, Colonel Mosby decided not TO ap-
pear on the accession. General Dodge and
Mayor Strong have both chosen four
Confederate soldiers FOR aides. but no in
vtation was extended 10 Colonel Mosby
/ by either Of these gentlemen who had
tho matter in their hands. Col. Mosby
was the only Confederate officer ever
close TO Grant, and took the State Of
| Virginia for the latter in the presidential
campaign, the two remaining firm friends
/ till Grants death.
Colonel Mosby appeared 20 be in the
| best Of health and spirits. He was met at
I tho depot by two OF his daughters and Mr..
Joseph Bryan. While here he will be the
! guest Of Mr.. Bryan az Laburnum.
During his visit to this section OF the
State he will, with his daughters, take a
trip 20 Old Point.
on the 2lst Colonel Mostly expects to be
| I'm Charlottesville TO witness the initial
performance of "Flirt" a society play
written by his son. Jno S. Mosby, Jr who
is now promising attorney with large
| practice i'm Denver Colorado.
The performance will be given for the
| purpose Of raising a fund to purchase a
new bell for the University OF Virginia.
TO replace the historical old relic which
was destroyed by the disastrous'fre which
so damaged the University I'm October, 1875.
