WHERE GEN. LEE ENDED WAR
Appomattox, Scene of Historical Sur
render In 1865, Now Falling
Into Ruins.

Appomattox is a name that recalls
brave memories. There were two Ap-
pomattox towns in 1865 and there are
two in 1910. 1t was at Appomattox
station on the railroad between Peters
burg and Lynchburg that Sheridan's
cavalry captured the supply train
which stood between Lees army and
starvation, and 1t was at Appomattox
court house, about three miles north,
that Lee surrendered. The Appomat-
tox court house of today occupies
nearly the site Of Appomattox station
and the old town of Appomattox court
house is a ruined village with a few
collapsed houses and about the same
number of inhabitants. The square in
which the old court house stood Is
covered with heaps of broken brick
and ashes and is overgrown with
scraggy trees. The old court house,
with the county records, was burned
about fifteen years ago and the new
| court house was built on the line Of
| railroad.
The Mclean house, in which the
| terms of surrender were agreed on
and signed, was torn down in 1892 for
removal to and reconstruction at the
| Chicago worlds fair, but the idea was
carried no further than the demolition
of the house.
The visitor to Appomattox has diff

ent owner of the Mclean house. or the
Surrender house." as it is called in
that neighborhood.
1t was on April z, 1865, when Grant
was at Farmville, few miles east of
Appomattox, that the federal COM
mander opened the correspondence
with General Lee leading up to the
surrender. At five o'clock on the eve
ming of April Grant wrote to Lee on
"the hopelessness of further resistance
on the part of the army of northern
Virginia in this struggle"
The same evening Grant received a
letter from Lee, in which the latter
said: Though not entertaining the
opinion you express of the hopeless
ness of further resistance, 1 reciprocate
your desire to avoid useless effusion
of blood, and therefore, before con
sidering your proposal, ask the terms
you will offer on condition of sur
render"
On the morning of April s Gran
wrote to Lee: peace being my grea
desire, there is but one consideration

l would insist upon-namely, that the
men and officers surrendered shall be
disqualified from taking up arms
against the government of the United
States until properly exchanged" At
midnight, April s, Grant received let
ter from Lee asking for a conference
on the subject of peace and agree
ing to meet Grant on the old stage
road to Richmond between the picket
lines of the two armies. Grant an
swered that he had no authority to
treat Of anything but the surrender of
the army of northern Virginia. Later
in the day Lee asked for an interview.
Grant assented and sent his answer
by Col Orville E. Babcock of his staff
Babcock found Lee by the roadside
under an apple tree. The interview
was arranged and Lee, accompanied
by his military secretary, Col. Charles
Marshall, met Grant at McLean's
house in Appomattox at one o'clock
Sunday afternoon, April 8. Grant was
accompanied by General Sheridan,
Gen. Edward o. G. Ord, Gen. Rufus
| ingalls,, Gen. John A. Rawlins, Gen.
Seth Williams, Gen. John G. Barnard,
Col Horace Porter, Col. Orville e.
Babcock. Col. Ely s. Parker, Col. The
odore S. Bowers, Col. Frederick T.
Dent and Col. Adam Badeau.
The conference lasted till four
o'clock. At 4:30 o'clock Grant sent a
dispatch to Secretary Stanton an
nouncing Lees surrender. Then the
name of Appomattox was heard around
| the world
On April 10 General Lee issued his
farewell order to his army and on
April 10 the confederate soldiers were
parolod.

EXPENSES ARE CUT OFF.

Columbus, O-Members of the gen.
eral assembly, serving en- the joint
committee to investigate conditions at
the Girls Industrial Home at Della
ware, and report to Gov. Harmon not
later than November of this year, will
have to pay their own expenses if they
care to continue their work. This is
in substance the ruling made by Atty.
Gen, Denman in an opinion rendered
to Auditor Of State Fullington.
This committee is composed of Sen
ators David Tod, Youngstown; Will
liam Shaffer, Paulding, and Richard
Cemeron. Marysville; and Represen-
tatives Myer Geleerd, Toledo; H. w.
Crist, Delaware, and H. M. Finley,
Morgan county.
Unless some relief, unforeseen,
comes, 1t goes without saying that the
investigation of the Girls Home at
Delaware is at an end, as 1t is hardly
probable that the members of that
committee care to donate their trav-
cling expenses to the state, since the
work affects state institution.
The committee had already discov'
cred that the institution is hardly fit to
be called a state institution, as there is
a condition of affairs there, with no
reflection on the officials, which is de-
plorable. 1t is known that the insti
tuition is congested to the extent that
the pupils have to sleep two or three
in a bed.
