Thank you,. gentlemen said fzen- eraIs Robert E. Lee fifty years agolto- day as he acknowledged the salute which. the Union officers gave him when he stepped out of the parlor of the Mclean house at rAppom4ttox in which he had just surrendered to Gem eral U. S. Grant of the Northern army.
 General Lee, who was dressed in an apparently new uniform, was the finest looking military-man any of us had ever laid eyes upon,@s said Capt. J. c. Paine, one of the six surviving men who witnessed the surrender when relating the occurrence today. HHe was rather surprised at the salute which wegave him and looked at us before he acknowledged it with his soft gray hat and his word of thanks. 2
 Capt Paine is widely known in this city where he formerly conducted a metallic packing business onl Cannon street. His home at present is in Wjlkesbarre, Pa/

 While negotiations for the sur render had been in progress for two days he said this morning." the first that we knew of it was on the day that it occurred. About g o'clock | in the morning an orderly rode up with a white flag and said that Gen eral Lee would meet General Grant that day. He arrived about 2 l o'clock in the afternoon on his hand. some iron gray horse.

Bridgeport will have a population of 2oey0oo in six years, ac- cording to Dever H. Warmer. head oA the Warner Bros. Go. The citizens of Bridgeport are asleep, falling to realize the wonderful opportunity that the war has presented, he says.
 Instead of realizing the future Bridgeport has, instead of paving it's streets. building more schools, in1prov.s ing it's public works and fostering it's facilities. Bridgeport residents are ly- ing back supinely, according to MT. Warner, allowing the most gorgeous opportunity that will ever come, here to be neglected.
 Bridgeport is the fastest growing city in the United States, MT. Warner told d Farmer reporter today. In a few years it will be the greatest city in Connecticut one of the greatest in New England, an invaluable asset to the country and city known all over

 There are quibtling over bridges and. pavements and sewers he said today, instead of building them. When they realize what is happening they will build more of these things than they now imagine. They'll have to. They'll have to improve their schools and their streets Concerns that are coming here and some of those already here will grow so fast that Bridgeport will have to keep pace with them.

which transpired.
 tfIn direct contrast to General Lees handsome uniform was the undress and mud-bespattered one of GeneESe Grant, who had not had time to change it after hard riding to reach the meeting place.
 Colonel Eli Parker, General Grants aide, who by the way was a full blood ed Indian, took out the terms of sl1r- render which had previously been prepared, and read them over to the commander of the Southern forces. When he had finished, General Lee Suggested some changes, making particular mention of supplies for his men, whom he said were practically starving and also among minor things asking that the men be, allowed to take their horses home. The changes were made in the original draft of the sur render and then Col. Parker copied this, keeping the original paper him self
 ''It was then that GeneraI.Lee came out of the room and was sa1uted by the northern officers before riding off.
 The other five living officers who witnessed the surrender are General Horace Porter of New York, then aide to General Grant; Mai. Michael Sheridan, brother of General Phil Sheridan and an aide on his staff; General B. w. Whitaker, who was an Inspector on General Clusters staff, Capt. Clarence W.
