ANACOSTIA'S STRIKE No Settlement Yet of the Railroad Trouble. The Road is Roundly Denounced by Citizens. MR. GRISWOLD’S POSITION ——_+—-—__ ‘There has been no change in the railroad situation at Anacostia since the time that The Star's report of yesterday was :losed, except t travel in the coaches provided by the Street ‘allway Union has increas- ed so much that in order to accommodate the people it became necessary this morn- ing to run an additional coach, Three coaches were run yesterday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and the receipts, as stated by some of the managers, were a little In ex- cess of $25. There were a number of instances, how- ever, where sympathizing riders dropped a quarter each in the “voluntary contribu- tion” box, and one gentleman deposited 5) cents therein. Late yesterday afternoon two old drivers from one of the street railway lines in the city visited Anacostia, and it was under- stood that they were seeking employment. They were known by some of the strikers, who saw them and who escorted them to the headquarters of the latter, in Haines’ Hall, where they were persuaded to return to the city without trying to carry out their original intention. As heretofore announced in The Star, a public meeting of citizens of Anacostia will be held toright at the corner of Fillmore and Harrison streets, for the purpose of hearing the report of the committee ap- pointed Saturday night to call on the Dis- trict Commissioners in reference as to whether the railroad company can be de- prived of its ckarter for failure to run its cars since Saturday last, and to discuss various matters connected with the strike. A meeting of the directors. of the Ana- costia Railroad Company was held at its offices in Anacostia this afternoon, and a resolution passed indorsing the’ action taken by President Griswold in reference to the strike. President Griswold’s Position. Speaking of the strike, the incidents lead- ing up to that event and some of the mat- ters that occurred since Friday la: President Griswold today, in an interview with a reporter of The Star, said: “The position of the company “is that it has paid Its emplcyes all that it could pos- sibly afford. It began tts service over the Tew line to the city in 1801, with condue- tors, drivers and a new equipment equai that at its start ington, and pro’ was continued for two y 5 trusting that increased receipts would war- rant it. They did not. The company compelled to take measures to reduce expenses. This was done by first taking off the conductors. The recent hard times ne- sitated still further reductions, which was done by making pro rata reduction from the salary of every employe, from president to hill boy. “The company believed this plan to bo more in the Interest of the traveling public than to take off cars, running long dis- tances apart and discharging a portion of its employes. The desire was to keep as many men at work for such wages as they were willing to take. Every employe was given an opportunity to resign, with a let- ter of recommendation from the company. The Tie-Up. ‘The day previous to the recent tie-up several of the men Stated to the super- visor and to the president that the road would not be tied up whether the company increased the pay or not. They would be glad of the increase, but had lived since October of 1894 on the wages received and preferred to continue rather than to look for other work. “On the morning the road was tied up sev- eral empleyes whose duties did not begin until 11 o'clock stated after word was re- ceived that they knew nothing of it. If told to stop they would be compelled to obey the order. Two of the stablemen left their work; all of the others, together with blacksmiths and car repairers, remained at their work, and when asked to do 50 went out and brought In the cars, and have since continued at their work, as many of them as were needed, working alternate days. Sat a loss, Citizens’ Support. “At a citizens’ meeting there appeared to be a desire not to patronize the road until it ytelded to a request which it is impossible to grant. Cars cannot be run without pa- tronage by the public. All suburban roads need most active support. Rapid Transit. “The Anacostia road was projected in 1876, for the development of Ana- costia and Southeast Washington. In what measure !t has done go, it is apparent or non-apparent to all who observe. To put in an underground system would involve an outlay that would not return 1 per cent interest above the expenses of operation, 1s the opinion of all who have examined into its feasibility. “No claim is made that a charter cannot be forfeited by the non-user, but the char- ter of the company does not contain a enalty clause, as understand the law. ‘he company is ready to operate Its cars, when it can recelve the support of its patrons, upon business principles and with all the knowledge !t has been able to obtain from nineteen years’ continued ser- vice, and wiil be glad to help any of its employes to better themselves.” Hearing This Morning. The railroad, with its strikes, bad ser- vice, bob-tailed cars and ghost line branch, Was the subject of a hearing before the Cemmisstoners this morning. When the board met a committee repre- senting the Anacostia Citizens’ Associa- tion was awaiting an audience with the triumvirate to discuss certain railroad mat- ters appertaining to the Anacostia rail- road, which has retired from the public service because the drivers struck for wages suilicient to let them live. The com- mittee, which was composed of Messrs. H. A. Linger, J. E. Minnix, George Gray and H. F. L. Allen, was invited to present.its case. Several interested citizens were pres- ent, and they were allowed to be present and participate In the discussion. It was learned that President Lawrence of the Railroad Union was also present to have a rearing, and it was decided to merge the two hearings and have him present his case with the Citizens’ Association com- mittee. President Griswold of the railroad company was in the bullding, but refrained from participating. It was stated that all the Citizens’ Asso- elation desired to know was what right the compeny had to operate bob-talled cars, ° Castoria For Infants and Children.

Engineer Commissioner Powell stated that this matter had been the subject of several discussions by the Commissioners, and they had decided, after hearing Presi-~ dent Griswold arf otherwise making them- selves acquainted with the affairs of the company, that the road could not be oper- ated with two horses, and rather than de- prive the citizens of Anacostia of the ser- vice, poor as it was, they had decided to allow the company to operate the cars with single horses. It was suggested that the law on the subject be read, for the pur- pose of determining the Commissioners’ power to walve the provisions of the act. Commissio1 er Ross read as foliows: The Law Read. “That after the Ist day of January, 1893, it stail be unlawful for any street railway compauy owning or cperating any line of street railway within the limits of the city of Washington, or the greater part of which Nes within said city limits, to use upon such road any one-horse cars. After said date all cars used within the said limits shall, {f drawn by horse power, be of the style and size known as two-horse cars, and each car shall be in charge of a con- ductor, and such conductor shall not act as driver; provided, this act shall not apply to any company operating street outside the limits of the city of V ton, or through unimproved or s| settled s2ctioas of the same, until time as the Commt of Columb publle needs, “Any railroad company violating the pro- visions of this act shall be subject to a fine of $25 per day for each car, and for every day it may be so cperated, to be recover- able by action instituted in the name of the Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbla in any court of competent jur tion within the District, and all fines col- lected on such account shall, when col- lected, be pald into the treasury for the use of the District of Columbia. It is he by made the duty cf the Commissioner: said District to see that this act is strictly enforced. such sioners of the District shall deem necessary for the No Good Reason. . A member of the committee stated there was no good reason why the law Jn tils regard had not been enforced. It could not be claimed that the territory traversed by the road was sparsely settled, unless per. haps that portion crossing the bridge was referred to, and it could not be expecied that the people would build houses on 1 beats. This cutting off of railroad facilities in Anacostia greatly injured the town. He was convinced that the road was being im- properly managed. The poor drivers suf- fered as a Commissioner ‘Truesdell admitted that even 31.50 per day was not enough to p: a driver of a horse car. But w was there to be done? Surely the gentlemen did not desire the road thrown into the hands of a receiver.

In all but one of these states officers of the Unit- ed States army were detailed by the retary of War for duty at the encamp- ments. In nine states—Colorado, IMlinois, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, South Dakota, ‘Tennessee, Virginia and Wyoming—and in one territory, Utah, where cflicers of the United States army were on duty with the state troops, there were, owing to lack of appropriations, duty of tHe troops during railroad strikes, and other causes, no camps. In the states where camps were held over 80 per cent of the organized forces was in camp. ‘The largest regular annual appropriation, $100,000, is made by New York; the small- est, $1,000, by New Mexico. Arkansas makes no appropriation, and depends upon {ts allotment from the United States ap- propriation and the subscription of the members and friends of the State Guard.

DEFENSE OPENS THIS AFTERNOON Introduce the Hotel Register as Evidence. Failure to DOCTORS ON THE STAND —_—_-—__— Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. LA PLATA, Md., July 9.—The closing day as announced for the prosecution in the trial of Belle Farrall for poisoning opened this morning with the usual interested throng !n attendance. Although the face of the prisoner showed en expression of worry that encroached on a look of pain, she had regained her composure since Eu- gene Hall left the stand, and today she steadily gazed into the eyes of the wit- nesses without flinching. Dudley Willett, who lives near White Plains Md., was the first witness. He stated that Saturday evening, October 10 last, Mrs. Farrall and Hall visited his house and re- mained until the Monday following. The state attempted to introduce test!- mony regarding the rooms occupied by the visitors, but such was prohibited, and then Pat. Wallace, an aged and infirm colored man, who worked for Mr. Farrall at Hughesville prior to June, 1894, took the stand. The witness related that on one occasion he was making certain changes in the gar- den at the direction of Mr. Farrall, when Mrs. Farrall approached and inquired what he was doing. Wallace replied that he was obeying an order from the boss. To this Mrs. Farrall said: “Don’t you do it. The — crooked-legged —.

The lefense objected to the cuestion on the ground that it did not correctly Indi- cate the symptoms of the illness of Fred- erick Farrall, but the court thought the query 2 proper one. The witness made answer that he knew of no agent that would produce the symp- toms mentioned except nux vomica or one of its alkaloids, strychnine or brucine. On cross-examination Dr. Hawkins stated that he has never seen a case of etry. poisoning in a human subject, bu had ob d his knowledge from an ex- haustive reading of authorities on poison- ing. r swalling strychnine, according to the witness, a person might live for six hours The subject of polsoning in general was then di. ‘d at length through questions ardiner, a retired United army fn, next described the symptoms of strychnine poisoning. ness also stated that often persons récover fr larger doses of strychnine. At the conclusion of Dr. Gardiner’s tes time he s nounced that its few rem: had failed to put in an ap nd the court then took a recess ur clock, when the defense is to_open. a hewever, will be allowed one- if hcur tomcrrow to introduce a witness from Washington to testify in regard. to the hotel register, and to further question Eugene Objection to Dr. Schaefer. Dr. ward M. Schaeffer of Washington was called by the state's attorney at the opening of the session yesterday afternoon, Mr. Mitchell expiaining that he wished the doctor, as an expert, to answer a hypo- u ‘al question, To this the defense made vigorous ob- fection, on the ground that Dr. Schaeffer should have been exhausted as an expert during his first appearance on the stand, ands the court concurring, the witness re- red. Dr. Petey W. Hawkins, a local practition- er, was next sworn for the purpose of an- swering the question referred to, but the defense then stated that its medical ex- pert had been called away, and requested that the testimony of Dr. Hawkins be postponed until today. Several witnesses summoned by the state failing to appear, attachments were issued for them, and as the defense desired time to consult with certain witnesses the court adjourned. Before doing so, however, the state announced that it wouid close its case his morning, Father Southgate, the Catholic priest whi administered the last rites of the church to Mr, Farrall, was an interested spectator in court yesterday afternoon. S Mrs. Farrail declined to take dinner in the public dining room of the hotel during recess yesterday, as was her custom last ucek, claiming that certain persons have Ben making insulting remarks regarding her while at the table. Hereafter the sheriff and his charge will dine privately, The father cf Eugene Hall, it is said, yesterday aj proached Sheriff Albrittain in the court room and entered objection to Evgene, who is only a witness, being lock- ed up, while Mrs. Farrall is treated more as a guest than a prisoner. This statement was repeated to Mrs. Farrall, and she remarked, “He ought to be locked up.” An Acquittal Expected, The trial will, in all probability, reach a conclusion and a verdict be obtained be- fcre the close of the week. That Mrz. Farrall will not be hanged is generally ccnceded, and an acquittal is confidently expected by many persons. Counsel for the defense will undoubtedly endeavor to shcw that Mr. Farrali’s death was due to natural cuuses, from uraemic convulsions, for Instance. Experts are to testify that the results of the analyses made by Dr. Schaeffer and Dr. Kalusoweki were not correct, while the family physician of the Farralls, Dr. Car- rico, will, it is expected, be called in behalf of the prisoner to state that in his opinion, judging from the symptoms of the suffering men, the demise was not the result of strychnine poisoning. As probably every juryman Is personally acquainted with Dr. Carrico his evidence whi! have great welght, and the testimony ‘of the experts employed by the defense can- not other than mystify the jury. ——_.
