10 SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA. Saturday was a red-letter day In the ‘history of the Anacestia Railroad Com- pany, the travel having been greater than for a long time past. While exact figures are not obtainable, it is stated on excellent authority that the total number of pas- wergers carried was between 6,000 and 7,000, and this, notwithstanding the Con- gresssional cemetery line was not in opera- tion. So great was the demand for pack- ages of tickets that the supply of many of the drivers became exhausted long before the hour for them to cease work, and it was only by the greatest difficulty that they could satisfy the demands of the patrons of the road. Since the road began opera- tions after the strike President Griswold has, it is said, felt so much encouraged by the increase of travel and the bright out- look for the future that he has voluntarily advanced the pay of every one in the cm- ploy of the company not provided for in the agreement with the Railway Union, from hillboy to secretary. It is a source of regret to those who patronize the road that so little progress is being maile hy the District authorities in repaving E street southeast,*which was begun several weeks ago. For awhile good speed was made on the much-needed improvement, but for the past week scarcely anything material has been accomplished. The entire pave- Teent from curb to curb ts torr up for a long distance, and if a car should become derailed there it would be next to imp2s- sible to get it on the rails again, certainly by the usual methods. Revs. C. W. Baldwin and J. M. Slarrow of Washington officiated at the services in the Anacostia M. E. Church yesterday, the acting pastor, Rey. Mr. Leech, having been detained at his reguler charge at Scaggs, Md. During the day the service of the holy communion was administered. Mr. Charles Linger and his sisters, the Misses Ida and Alice Linger, children cf Mr. H. A. Linger, have returned from a pleasant visit of three weeks to Piney Point, Md. The Outing Pleasure Club, an association of young Anacostfans, who have been en- camped at Colonial Beach for a couple of weeks, have returned home. It is thought that the unknown colored man who is wanted by the authorities of Prince George's county, Md., for the brutal assault on Mrs. Lucy Hall a few weeks ago, was in the neighborhood of Anacostia Saturday. While Mr. and Mrs. James Miles, living on the Morris road, were ab- sent from home a colored man, who, from the description given by some of the inem- bers of Mr. Miles’ family, tallies with that of Mrs. Hall's assailant, visited the house and remained for some time. Just before the return of Mr. and Mrs. Miles, however, the man left. As soon as Mr. Miles became aware of what had transpired during his absence he gave an alarm and several eltizens started in pursuit of the negro, but were unable to overtake him. Mrs. Ford of No. 447 Harrison street, Anacostia, who, as stated in The Star of Saturday, was early that morning rob- bed of over $200, has as yet received no clue, either to the whereabout of her money or the identity of the person or persons who robbed her, while the detectives wno have charge of the case appear to be in the same blissful state of ignorance. R. S. Shepherd, a motorman on the Rock Creek railroad, whose home is in Anacos- tia, had his hand severely hurt while at work yesterday. He was taken to the Emergency Hospital, where he received surgical attention. Mrs. M. N. Frederick is about to begin the construction of a small house at No. 10 Harrison street, Anacostia. — ROCKVILLE. Archibald H.

Mr. Charles Mewshaw, a resident of this _Place, and railroad agent and telegraph cperator at Germantown station, who was badly injured Saturday morning by hav- irg his right foot crushed between the bumpers of a freight train at Gaithersbarg, is still suffering greatly from the wound. Upon his arrival here he was assisted to his home and received the surgical aid of Drs. Stonestr2et and Linthicum. Three of his toes are badly mashed, and it was thought at first that amputation would be necessary. From present indications, how~ ever, this will not have to be resorted to. The meetings conducted by the Salvation Army at Washington Grove camp ground attracted 9 large number of persons from this place Sunday. The mesting of Ridgley Brown Camp of Confederate Veterans, which was to have taken place here Saturday, has beeen post- poned until the 3ist instant.

Messrs. Stanley and Magrude> were ap- pointed as a committee to confer with the officers of the experiment station of the Maryland Agricultural College and make arrangements for the regular quarterly visit of the members of the club to that station. Mr. John Snowden, the host, in mpliance with tho custore of the club, rezd an essay tpun tha reguler question, viz.: “What Inducement Can We_ Offer Young Men to Remain on the Farm?” He contended that the greatest inducement to keep them on the farm was to make farm life a success. In the general discussion that followed some m2mbers expressed the opinion that young men ought to be given an interest in the farm in order to make them remain upon ft, and others were of the belief that the reason why so many young men deserted the farm was because they were brought up with the idea that farming was unprofitable. Under the head of miscellaneous busiress Mr. D. M. Nes- bit offered the following resolution, which was uhanimously adopted: Resolved, That the Vansville Farmers’ Club congratulate Secretary Morton on the stand he has taken in abolishing that hoary abuse, the seed division.

At midnight Tele- graph Operator Arnett with two other men ercssed over to the station building from the signal box opposite, but saw nothing wrong. Shortly after daylight two carrier boys discovered two broken windows and & boulder lying inside on the station floor. Boot-heel marks were on the window sills and also on the iron work surrounding the agent's office and ticket office receptacle, showing where the burglar had climbed in and out. Nothing of value was taken, as a previous robbery had warned Agent George Peter against leaving anything in sight. As the operator just across the track heard no unusual noise, it is supposed the glass was broken during the passage of a train. A tall, strange colored man who had been lottering about late during the evening was suspected. Railroad deteztives are investi- gating the matter. Mr. Jesse Figgins and family have re- turned from a six weeks’ visit to Falls Church, Va. The regular weekly prayer meeting of the ‘Warner Memorial Presbyterian Church will during the month of August_be held Thurs- day evening instead of Wednesday, as heretofore. TENNA. Mr. Frank Tilford, who is well known at all the railroad towns between Washington and Round Hill, and in the former city, where his mother, who 1s quite wealthy, re- sides, was the central figure in a thrilling scene at Berryville a few nights since, and in the encounter shot and wounded a man, who was one of a party of three who at- tempted to rob him. Mr. Tilford had been called to Berryville by the illness of his wife, who is spending the summer with her mother, Mrs. Lewis, near Berryville. He had spent the evening with Mrs. Tilford and her mother, and late at night drove to the Berryville railroad station to take a train for Washington, which passed there about 2 o'clock in the morning. The Berryville station is a short distance from the town, and after midnight is desert- ed by even the railroad officials. On this particular night there was not a person about the depot, but notwithstanding this, Mr. Tilford dismissed his carriage and be- gan to wait for the train. He had been standing unconcernedly, upon the platform but a short time after hls carriage had left, when through the [fari t ness he saw three men approaching. At first the realization that he was not en| ¥ alone in the dense ‘darkness that preyailed somewhat com- forted him, but a ment later the conduct of the men changed thjs feeling to one of apprehension, and madé.him regatd the men with suspicion and anxiety. = As soon as they say Mr. Tilford they stopped, and after holding a hurried con- ference, one of them advanced to where he stood, while the others remained in the background. The night was chilly, and Mr. Tilford wore a light o¥ercoat, in the side pocket of which ae a loaded revolver. As the man approached him, Mr. Tilford thrust his hands Into the pockets of his coat, and with his right grasped bis pistol. When within a few feet the man asked Mr. Tilford the time. About 2 o'clock was the reply. “Will you give me'a match?” was the next question by the man. “T haven't got one," said Mr. Tilford, still clutching his pistol and edging away from his questioner. “Then give me what money you have,” said the man, and as he spoke he pulled some sort of an instrument from his pocket and aimed a blow at Mr. Tilford’s head. Quick as were his movements, Mr. Til- ford was quicker, and without waiting to draw his pistol he fired it through his coat, and the man turned and fled. His compan- fons also disappeared. Across the railroad and over a stone wall ran Mr. Tilford’s as- sailant, with Mr. Tilford pursuing ag@ firing at him as he ran. Just then the train arrived, and the con- ductor hastened to Mr. Tilford’s assistance. Both ran to the wall, and looking over saw the man lying on the ground, evidently un- conscious. It was utterly impossible to delay the train, and as Mr. Tilford had to go to Washington, he did not pursue his investi- gations any further.. A day or two later Mr. Tilford returned to Berryville and surren- dered himself to the authorities, but as there was no charge against him he was not heid. Mr. Tilford’s wife was a Miss Lewis, and is a direct descendant from Nellie Custis, the granddaughter of Martha Washington. It is announced that definite arrangements have been made for a reunion of Mosby's command, attached to which were many young men from this vicinity, some of whom still survive, at Marshall on Wed- nesday of next week. Col. Mosby will be present, and a pleasant time is anticipated. Thursday of the week following the sur- vivors of the sixth Virginia cavalry regi- meat will hold a reunion at Fauquier, White Sulphur Springs. There was a com- pany in this regiment from Fairfax, and a more gallant body of men never went into battle than the old sixth. The ranks of these veterans of the late war are fast thinning out, and soon none of them will be left to tell of their privations and achievements. Efforts are also being made to have a reunion of confederate veterans this year at Fairfax Court House. It is urged that as there will be po agricultural fair this year, the people will gladly avail themselves of the opportunity to come to- gether again. Mr. R. E. Wine of Hume had $161 stolen from him a few days ago. All the family were from home at the time. The thief or thieves pulled one of the shutters from the hinges and wen in and unlocked the trunk in which the money was kept. Mr. Wine had about $200 in the trunk, but the villains overlooked $40. Mrs. Susan Muller, widow of William Muller, who came to Virginia from England many years ago, died last week at her home in Fairfax county. Mr. Hugh T. Fitzpatrick and Mrs. Mary Jane Edwards were married at Rockburn a few days ago by Rev. L. H. Crenshaw. A dog belonging to Mr. Benjamin Comp- ton of Bealeton went mad some time ago and bit Mr. Comptom’s daughter. The young lady was carried to a madstone in the neighborhood, and ithe pare placed on the wound, where it “held fast” for an hour. The same deg bit a colt belonging to Mr. William Yates, and after also biting a cow, belonging to. him, and for a while running amuck through the neighborhood he was killed. Some time before the above occurrences a supposed mad dog bit a little daughter of Mr. Philip Bennett in the same neighborhood, and the madstone was placed upon the wound, but ig apparently had no effect. At last accounts, however, all those bitten were doing rwell.. ‘The gentlemen comprising Bunyan’s Pil- grim Band, viz., Prof. McGrew and Messrs. Morrison, Thornton, Snyder and the Beer- hover brothers, have negotiated the pur- chase of about fourteen acres of land near Lincolnia. The plans of the gentlemen named have not ag yet been given out, but will be divulged to: the public later on, so it is announced. ———— Mr. Herreshoff's Offer. Mr. Nat Herreshoff of Newport has made an offer to the Navy Department to build a torpedo beat capable of attaining twenty- seven and one-half knots an hour for $150,000. A short time ago Congress made an appropriation of $450,000 to be used in the construction of three torpedo boats capable of twenty-six knots an hour. If Mr. Herreshoff’s offer is accepted he will use in the construction of the new boat all the principles which have combined to make the Defender a fast yacht. —<————<——= Jennie Jenes, aged forty-five years, was drowned in the Delaware river at Phila- -delphia Saturday night, and Barney Hayes ig under arrest on suspicion of having thrown her overboard. ON THE TURKISH RAILROADS, Customs and Regulations for Traveling. From the Chicago Record. The discipline on the Turkish roads is very severe. Negligence is punished with heavy penalties, and if a collistoroccurs all employes who share in the resporsibil- ity are likely to be sent to prison, and, if any one is killed or injured, under sen- tences for long terms. Employes of the roads who are injured in service receive pensions, and if the injuries prove fatal their families are provided for. ‘The law requires railroad companies to provide for the families of persons who are killed on their lines by accident, and those who are injured recelve compensation to cover their board, medical attendance and loss cf wages as long as they are unable to pur- sue their accustomed avocations. At the same time there is a penalty of $1 for walking upon a railroad track in Turkey for every offense. Cattle and other ani- mals found on the right of way of rail- roads can be corfiscated by the company, although the owner may redeem them by paying 25 cents each for sheep, dugs, goats, hegs and other small animals. It cosis $2.50 to get a cow or horse out of a rail- ‘way pound. Animals that are not ransom- ed within a given time are sold et auction for the benefit of the railway company. which, however, must return to the owner any sum in excess of the fine impose by law and the cost of keeping the animal while in charge of the company. All ar- ticles left by travelers in the cars or in the station houses are also subject to sim!- lar rules. They can be redeemed upon the payment of a fee, and at the end of a certain period al] articles not redeemed are sold for the benefit of the company. Every passenger must be in,his seat when the Jast gong sounds, a few mo- ments before the departure of a train. Travelers buying tickets must present the exact amount of money to the ticket agent, otherwise he is authorized to charge a commission of 4 per cent for making change, which goes into his own pocket. Local tickets are good only for the train for which they are sold, and will not be redeemed, but through tickets will be ac- cepted on ali trains within the lmit of time indicated upon them. Children under three years of age travel free, and between three and seven are carried at half rates. All gendarmes, prisoners of state, police- men and other officials are carried at balf fare upon presentation of a certificate of identity called an “ilmihaber.” Army of- ficers and soldiers are carried for one- third fare upon the presentation of an “iImihaber.” Soldiers traveling on duty for the government are carried free upon the presentation of a “pestie” certificate. Passengers found upon trains without tick- ets are required to pay three times the full fare between the place where they started and the first station reached after they are discovered, when they are al- lowed to buy a ticket for the rest of their journey at the regular rate. One hundred pounds of baggage is al- lowed for every ticket, but the traveler has to pay three cents for having his trunk checked. The Oriental express and trains from Constantinople to Vienna (for- ty-four hours) and to Paris (seventy-two hours) run twice a week, and carry first- class parlor and sleeping cars. imilar trains run between Smryna and Aden. Story of Parson Brownlow. From the Chicago Record. Ar editor was a man of influence in those days, but the editcrial style of doing things has Improved in many respects since then. Take, for instance, the way in which sub- seripticns to the parer are discontinued. In EBrownlow’s ume the ceremony seems to have been very elaborate. In his issue of February 16, 1860, I find published a long letter, in which a South Carolina sub- scriber orders his faper stopped and kindly gives his reasons for so doing. The ope! ‘ing passage in the letter reads as follow: “I wrote to yon a few days ago under the sigtature of ‘T. J. C.’ and informed you that you were the greatest liar out of hell and the most infamous scoundrel living be- tween heavea and earth, and I then told you and now repeat that nothing would afford me as much pleasure as to see you in Abbinville, where we could treat you to a coat of tar and feathers.” Immediately following this courteous and gentle remonstrance the editor prints this touchirg rejoinder: “T am not ignorant of the deadly opposi- tion to me in South Carolina, and more especially from the blackguerd portion of her citizens, of whom you are a fit repre- sentative. I expect that the vials of con- tumely, reproich and defamation will be poured vpon me by a hireling press of a corrupt and plundering southern confed- eracy, by the insolvent bullies, hardened Mars and vulgar cutthroats whose only am- bition is to serve as tools under an art gant and hateful pack of aristocratic lead- ers.” ‘This ts only a sample of the way in which a subscription to Brownlow’s paper was discontinued. It was certainly interesting, but it must have been tiresome to have to repeat the ceremony so often. AUCTION SALES. * FUTURE DAYS. Some of the WALTER B.
