Mr.. Rouss' Offer Refused.

BY the refusal of the Board of
County Supervisors of Frederick
county 10 accept the proposition made
by Dir. Charles Il. Rouss, which was
that they relinquish their claim to
portion of the market square, so
that a public building could be erect
ed thereon, the city of Winchester
losses $4,000. Mr.. ROuss offered
this sum with which to erect the
building. The Board of Supervisors
and a committee of the City Council
were in conference during the entire
day, but the Board refused every
proposition made. The first propO-
sition made was that the county
should give the city permission to
erect the building on the market
square, which both city and county
claim. The building was to be sur
rounded by a park for the joint use
of both. In lieu of a hitching yard
the Jacobs property, recently pur-
chased by Mr.. Rouss for the purpose,
was to be used by the county as a
hitchiug yard, and was to be main
tanned by the city, which was to erect
sheds, a building containing sitting
rooms for ladies, and make other I'M
provements. This proposition, upon
which was based the conditional offer
of $4,000, was refused bv the Board
on the ground that the Jacobs lot
was not large enough for the hitch
ing yard. a modified proposition
Offering them in addition portion of
the market square as a hitching ward
was also refused, as was also the prop
osition 20 submit the whole matter to
arbitration, with the three Judges Of
the Virginia Supreme Court as ar
biters. The Board also refused to
submit any counter-proposition TO the
city. What action Mr.. Rouss will
take in regard to his proffered gift is
not known. but it is thought that the
matter will be held mp until the SUI
preme Court Of Virginia decides the
SUIT now pending between the town
aud county for possession of the mar
| ket square. which will be next .Ianu-
ary.
Mr.. BousS has withdrawn his offer
of the gift for the present He will
wait until the suit between the coun-
~ and city now pending for posses
sion of the market square is finally
decided by the Supreme Court OF the
State next January If the CITY
should win. the building will be
erected on the market square without
consulting the county. and if they
lose. Mr. Rouss has intimated that
proper provision will be made for an
other site and also the building.

item of evidence that made their case
complete and irrefutable. But behold
when Mr. MacCauley read his letter in

covered that some things of which he
was cocksure, were not sure at all. In
fact, they were absolutely untrue, and
