Louisville. Ky. Jan. 1a .F'-Ihs Courier-Journal today says that signed copy of General Robert E. Lees farewell address to his soldiers. values at $25.ooo. has been found hero in possession of an attorney
 The Penmanship of the document. is that of Col Charles Marshall. Robert E. Lees secretary. according to chirographers at the congresslcn- al library.
 The manuscript reads:
 Hdars, Army Northern Va.
 April 10th 1885 Genl Order. No. 9.
 After four years of srduous sery- ice. marked by unsurpa ssed courage and fortitude. the army of Northern Virginia had been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and re. sources.
 need not tell the brave survivors ct so many hard fought battles, who have remained steadfast to the last. that 1 have consented to this result from no detrust of them.
 But feeling that valor and devo- ton could accomplish nothing that would compensate for the loss that must have attended the continuance of the contest. determined to avoid useless sacrifices of those whose past services have endeared them to their countrymen.
 By the terms of the agreement. officers and men can return to their homes and remain until exchanged. You will take with you the satls- faction that proceeds from the con- sciousness of duty faithfully per- formed. and I earnestly pray that q merciful God will extend to you his blessing and protection.
 With an unceasing admiration of ,cur constancy and devotion to your country, and grateful remembrance of your kind and generous consider stion for myself. bid you all an sffectionate farewell.

SALARY INCREASES KILLED BY COUNCIL
of City Employs Re
 mains at Pr8snt LeYd

By almost una aniuious vote, the common council last night declared against any increase in tho salaries of municipal employees. rejecting | committee report in which l3 in- creases were recommended.
 Councilman Clarence H. Aiaxon, chairman of the salary committee. moved favorable action on the report which would have been effective April l. if carried. Alderman Wal ter Falk moved an amendment that salaries remain as at present There was no further comment and the motion was put, the affirmative side embracing nearly tho entire council.
 Drive Against Burke Falls
 With reference 10 the movement instituted by Councilman William D. Boyle to require Master Mechanic E. c. Burke to remove his car from No. 6 fire station. and ride to fires on regular apparatus, Corporation Counsel John H. Kirkham submitted the following statement:
 ITO His Honor the Mayor. and the
 Common Council of the City of
 New Britain:
 'The following resolution was re- ferred to the corporation counsel for an opinion:
 " That the fire board be requested to instruct Master Mechanic Burke to discontinue the use of his auto mobile for fire department duty and business. and remove his automobile permanently from No. fire station.'
 Tt is very doubtful whether the common council would have the right to instruct or order Master Mechanic Burke to discontinue the use of his automobile for fire de- partnent duty and remove it per manently from the fire station. That right would depend on tho interpre- tatlon of the charter provision giving the council the right to make orders to render the fire department more efficient This question, however. is not presented, as the resolution Is that the Ire board (not Mir. Burke) be requested (not ordered). etc.
 With regard to the city's liability Ill case of negligent operation of the automobile by Mir. Burke. or any other employe or agent of the city. 1t is well settled that the city would not be liable for the negligence of any of it's employees or agents in the performance of governmental duty. The fact that the title to the car vas in Mr. Burke and not in the city. would not affect this rule of law. except that 1t seems there would be less. rather than more liability of the city to pay damages caused by its servant and agent. while using his own automobile. than would be the case were he using city car, How eyer, if the council desires to adopt the resolution, there is no illegality in its doing SO
 Councilman Boyle moved that the report be accepted and if vas so voted. He then motloned that the original resolution be sent to the fire board as q move in the direction of Hts resolution received several enloefatlC votes ana when he saw no one on the republican side had voted afflrmatively, he called out; It's no use voting; just 8 solid 1 bank, that's all'
 Later in the meeting he criticized the corporation counsel for with | holding the finding until after the l council meeting started. He said | hat the council has gone on record 1

HEFLN RECANTS
AND TAKES RAP
AT NEWSPAPERS
BY United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Sen-
ator Heflin, Democrat, Alabama,
crusader against what he calls the
Catholic political machine, retract-
ed today in the senate part of his
last week s TRADE against Democrat
ic floor leader Robinson.
He declared he had not meant
seriously a statement that Robinson
would be tarred and feathered in
Alabama for his remarks about Hef-
lin.
Then he turned to the press,
calling members of the Press gallery
pen pushing squirrel heads" for
sending out his remarks at that
time.
He also characterized as a
"whiskey sheet" the Montgomery
Advertiser which criticized his out
burst last week which resulted sub
sequently in a Democratic caucus
vote of confidence in Robinson.
Heflin had been forced to wait to-
day while another speaker got the
floor and this manifestly annoyed
him, bringing forth protests at such
treatment.
Heflin said he was "going to
have an investigation of the whis-
key press. -
He said he had a letter from the
Arkansas Legislature stating that
100000 persons in Arkansas We're
with him against Robinson.
"The mayor of Montgomery has
relatives that are Roman Catholics.
Pm going to get him, too.
"I've whipped the newspapers of
Montgomery in every fight I've
ever fought with them and III whip
them again. he said. "There is a
mortgage on the Birmingham News,
too. | think it's for $2,000,000 and
they are trying to cover up some
thing about it.'
