ried Five Forks OH April 1,
1865, General Grant ordered
demonstration on the Petersburg lines.
General Humphreys, with the Second
corps, attempted to carry the Confeder-

enemy too active. A bombardment was
kept up all night, and General Grant
ordered an assault at o'clock on the
morning of the I'd with the men of
Ord's, Wright's and Parke's commands.
The point chosen for Wright's Sixth
corps was to the left of the Weldon
railroad, where Federal Forts Fisher
and WEIGH were located. The Confed-
crate picket pits in front of these forts
had been taken on the 25th of March,
and they now offered shelter fog the
massing of troops to storm the high
parapetS which formed the Confederate
line here.
General Parke was to move the Ninth

before it, pressing on to the South Side
railroad, leaving, however, the original
defenseS encircling Petersburg on the
right rear intact. This compelled
Wright to face about and form q new
line. Ord and Humphreys also carried
the works on their front, and, pressing
through to Hatcher's run, cut the Con-
federate army south of the Appomat-

corps troops took the outer lines in
front of them, but could not carry the
inner lines. The Confederate artillery
was all in position and swept every
foot Of ground along the whole front.
Several attempts were made by Gener-

from the trunk in the room of her aunt.
Going to the Sth street house and opening
the trunk the detectives soon found TIE
badly decomposed corpse of the infant.

the morgue its mother breathed her last at

Dear Sir: have your favor of the Oath inst,
fnquring about the property of thu United States
Realty Company at Congress Heights. lit is with
pleasure that give you this information, as
have just sold a lot at Congress Heights which
was purchased from the president of the United
States Realty Company-before that Company
was organization $3.50 easy monthly pay
ments. The price received $4,000 spot
cash. This is 1885 per cent profit ON the price
that was originally paid for the lot. At this price
the Cornpany's property at Congress Heights
would alone pay the entire capital stock of the
Company and repay every subscriber to the stock
after the entire stock sold, leaving its inn
rner1se holdings ON Pennsylvania Avenue and its
controlling interest i'm the electric railroad as
clear profit.
The land owned by the United States Realty
Company at Congress Heights is the cream prop
erty OF the town, and lit is located between the
finest engine house i'm the District of Columbia,
which costs the District over ST. 10000 month
to maintain, and the magnificent schoolhouse,
which is now attended by over 800 scholars.

There is another feature about the United
States Realty Company's property at Congress
Heights, which consists of over 1000, 600 square
feet of which nothing has been said. The United
States government has been making a deter
mined effort to acquire two million feet of that
conpanys ground for the government hospital.
Its acquisition by the government has been rec
commended by four superintendent of that i'm
stitution i'm succession; by both Appropriation
Committees, by the Committee ON Public Build
ngs and Grounds, and the Board of Visitors,
and at the last session of Congress the Commit
tee the District of Columbia unanimously
recommended the acquisition of two million feet
of this companys property by the United States
government. lit seems from the efforts made
the government is determined to have this prop
erty, but the company, understand, is indiffer=
emit about the matter, because Congress has APP
propriated money for the survey for bridge,
which the United States Realty Company's prop
erty at Congress Heights will be the southern
terminus. The government will probably take
the property by condemnation, i'm which event it
means very large dividend to the stockholders
of the United States Realty Company.
