General Riley Submits Opinion That
City Can Again Engage in Manu-
facture Of Gas az Any Time.
The fate OF the municipal gas works
was probably decided at a joint meet
ing OF the water and light committee.
and board Of control held In the
mayors office last night. At this
meeting. an opinion from General T.
s. Riley. acting for the city solicitor,
was read. received and filed. In this
opinion the attorney says that IL is his
belief that should the city gas works be
closed down. the city could at any
future time reopen IL in competition
with other gas companies.
Acting upon this opinion, Mayor II.
l. Kirk made a motion which was sec
onded by Councilman w. II. Hare. to
recommend to council to close the city
gas plant temporarily. and that City
Solicitor ]. II. Brennan be instructed
TO draw up the closing resolution in
proper form to present to council: and
that consumers be notified that the
gas works would be closed at the end
of sixty days. dated from the time the
resolution passes council. Not a dis

although there were some who did not
vote either way.

and leading to the South Side railroad.
This railroad has Lynchburg and Dan
vile connections and was Of highest
Importance to Lee In Petersburg.
At Five Forks this road was defend
ed from the Federal positions by In
trenchments, and at Dinwiddie Court
House, i've miles southeast, there were
outposts and defenses to guard Five
Forks. Sheridan and the infantry
corps Of Warren, Wright and Hum
phreys moved together toward the Fed
eral left, and Lee sent out General r.
H. Anderson with detached divisions
to cope with this strong force. Ntz-
hugh Lee was in command Of the Con-
federate cavalry in this vicinity. and
his chief ordered him to Five Forks.
Fitzhugh advanced to Dinwiddie
Court House with his cavalry and
fought Sheridan there on the 3Oth. On
the 31st Sheridan's entire force fought
Fitzhugh Lee. Rosser and w. III. F.
Lee, with some infantry under General
George T.. Pickett. who commanded

Warren's Fifth corps was added to
Sheridan's command and marched to
the left to Join In all attack on the in
trenchments ut Five Forks. where
Pickett had five brigades Of infantry
and ten guns.
Sheridan moved his cavalry SO as to

enemy, while Warren's troops assault

Grant went out OH the South Side rail-

on the 4th Lee united the Richmond

The fall of Forts Whitworth and Gregg
and the failure to dislodge General
Parke's Ninth corps east of the city
decided the fate of that place, and Leo
ordered its abandonment that night.
Petersburg was not surrounded, but
its southern exits were cut OF. It
could communicate with Richmond,
but Richmond was invested north and
east, and the play Of twenty miles b.

Fall of Petersburg.

Promptly on learning that the army
had carried Five Forks Grant ordered
demonstration on the Petersburg
lines. A bombardment was kept up all
night, and Grant began an assault at
o'clock on the morning Of April
with the men Of Ord's, Wright's and
Parke's' commands. Wright's Sixth
corps carried all before it and press
ing ON to the South Side railroad, leav-
ing. however, the original defenses ell
circling Petersburg on its right rear.
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-
tox In two. Parke's Ninth 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 General Cor.
don. who still commanded In front of
the Ninth corps. to retake the ground
seized by Parke. but all failed.
The river roads along the Appomat.
tox running into Petersburg from the
south were held by Ord and Wright
Near where they passed the Confed'

works. Forts Gregg and Whitworth
Fort Gregg had a garrison of 200 E'c,
and two guns. Fort WhitwOrtil hri-
gade and three guns. After a str'iOr'
fight Fort Gregg yielded, and Whit
worth was then abandoned. There
were ffty-nve dead Confederates In
