St. Lonis Globe-Democrat. A colored woman who figured in an im- pertant but lowly position in connection with the breaking out of the rebellion lives at 742 Sycamore street, Camden. She is sixty-two years old, and has a remarkable memory, and relates important incidents as though they occurred but yesterday. She Is known as Jane Fossil, but she de- clared that she preferred the name of Han- hah Bell Douglass, which was given her when a slave, by her master, a wealthy Virginian planter, at Harper's Ferry, Va. In speaking of the breaking out of the war, she sald: “While we were all at church one Sun- day night—I was then twenty years old— wcrd was passed around that John Brown and twelve others had reached the town and had taken possession of the great gun works and held control of them. The col- ored people rejoiced, but we could not speak out loud, but met in groups after church to discuss the matter. We went to bed feeling that there would be trouble, and when we awoke the next morning the place was came by the hundreds from all parts of the state. Kyery kind of a wagon and train was loaded with the southern gentlemen and their helpers. “John Brown and his Little body of men held their ground until 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, when he was overpowered. The democrats knew that Brown was coming, because one of his supposed sympathizers betrayed him, and they were waiting for the word when he would arrive. The r publicans were not aware of his presence, or they were afraid of the army of demo- crats. Had they made a determined stand, there would have been a fair chance for Mr. Brown. After he was captured, his son, unknown to the jailers at Charles- town, visited him daily. “My duty was to look after Mrs. Brown. a kind, motherly woman, who was kept in a room at House's Hotel. There were nine guards about her, and she was not allowed to speak to me, but she showed her appre- ciation by stroking my face. My master selected me to do the cooking for Mrs. Brown. We all stood with bared heads when they took the body of John Brown from the scaffold, and a great many of us got pieces of the scaffold. I lost my piece about six months ago. “We often repeated the words Mr. Brown uttered on the scaffold: ‘That he could not accomplish any more than to start the downfall of slavery, and that a man would die for every hair in his head.’ I was with my master’s family until the war ended, and was among the first ninety slaves emancipated and sent to Philadelphia. We scattered in every direction and sought homes among strangers. She now keeps a small shop, where she makes a living selling pies and cakes. Mrs. Douglass is an interesting conversationa- list, and relates many incidents of southern life in connection with the early history of the war. From Wire Railways. From the Boston Transcript. ‘All through Norway wires are to be seen stretched from the small farms on the mountains above to the farms in the val- leys below, and we wondered at their use- fulness. In the early spring the farmers resort to these aerial abodes with their flocks and herds and tarry late into the autumn, their main communication with their families at the “home office’ being these wires, often many hundred feet in length. Upon these they send down hay, wcod, milk and other farm productions, and we often caught sight of the bundles as they passed on the wire over our heads, while journeying along thé roads. filled with democrats. They’| BEYOND THE DOME East Washington Citizens’ Associa- tion Reviews the Year. ANNUAL REPORTS FOLL OF INTEREST Public Improvements, Health, Safe- ty, Charity—All These. ~ AN EARNEST MEETING Last evening the annual meeting of the East Washington Citizens’ Association was held at Baum’s Hall, corner of 4th and East Capitol streets, and now that Con- gress is soon to convene the association will take up the most important measures the success of which depends upon con- sressional action. Among the problems the members of the association hope to solve is that of the Eastern branch, where, it 1s hoped, the flats will be reclaimed rnd a canal built. This question will receive more attention after the decision in the Potomac flats cases is rendered, which it is thought will be announced next Monday. When Secretary Sperry had read the re- port of the last regular meeting of the as- sociation, President Babson called for the reports of committees. As chairman of the executive committee, he said his committee had done Its work, and had held regular meetings during the year. In this report the committee recommended a change in the constitution. He referred particularly to the eligibility clause. As the constitu- tion has stood from the organization of the association, only taxpayers were ell- gible, and the committee recommended that residents of East Washington, irre- spective of the ownership of property, be admitted to membership. The committee also recommended the additional cfficer of vice president, and a change in the initia- “ton fee and dues, as well as a change in the meeting night. It is proposed that the meeting night be changed from the first Thursday to the first Tuesday. Under the rules, the proposed amend- ments will come up for discussion and ac- tion at the next meeting. Report of Executive Committee. President Babson then read the report of the committee, as follow: “In presenting another annual report to the East Washington Citizens’ Asso-la- tion, its executive committee congratulates the membership upon the continued sturdy existence of the organization, as evidenced by its large roll of members, the scope of the duties of its twelve committees, the strong and intelligent personnel of each and the watchful attention given to the matters confided to them; the permanent establishment of headquarters in this hall, the regularity of its meetings, and the subjects that have recelved the considera- tion of the association during the rast year. “Moreover, it has further cause for con- gratulation in that the fraternal spirit of organization of citizens’ associations is ex- tending throughout this municipality. The pioneer of these organizations, closing with this meeting the first quarter of a century of its existence, founded upon, and ad- hering to, the belief that the rights and in- terests and wants of a people can best be protected and procured by the free inter- change of opinion and the united efforts of the citizens of a community, it rejoic that other localities are awakening to the necessity and wisdom of this course, and that citizens’ associations are coming into existence fn all sections of the District. We extend to them the right hand of fellowship ard bid them God speed. We but express your wish when we announce that at the door of this hall they will, coming either 2s organizations or as individuals, receive a fraternal greeting, and to all such organi- zations and to all the membership of such, we, with your approval, extend an invita- ticn to attend the meetings of this associa- tion on the first Thursday evening of each month. i: “If an association of citizens, acting to- gether, intelligently and earnestly, can ac- ccmplish much for a locality, a logical de- Guction is that a union of many, upon mat- ters of general welfare, will be a potent fcrce to stay aggression or procure benefits. Ore such united effort has been made at the instance of this association, with most gratifying results. Occasions for further jcint action seem not improbable in the future. We commend the thought to you and to our fellow associations. Railroad Questions. “Reviewing the work of the past year and the progress of improvements in this sec- tion of the city, the committee on railroads will announce, with much gratification, the extension of the Metropolitan road (the East Capitol road) six squares east, around Lincoln Park to 15th street east, and the proposed introduction of the underground electric system as a motor, which, it is un- derstood, will be completed before August, 1896, This opens up the fine plateau east of Lincoln Park for a distance of two squares, making the much desired extension of car service four squares beyond the present line of public conveyances, the herdic line on 11th street. This will be greatly beneficial to all that section of the city east of Lincoln Park. ( “The Northeast Washington Citizens’ As- sociation have had our sympathy and moral support in their efforts for the better pro- tection of life on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. “In the matter of street improvements, while a considerable sum has been ex- pended, the progress made under the rule to improve the streets in order numerically has been exceedingly slow, and other streets upon which building enterprises have been pushed are justly demanding improvements. Energetic work on the part of the commit- tee on streets, avenues and alleys is ueces- sary. “The movement to secure a more liberal supply of water for the city received the support of this association, the president, by invitation of the board of trade, address- ing a meeting called by that body in sup- port of a bill before Congress to provide an appropriation for raising the dam at the falls. This bill has since become a law, and under It the water supply will be ma- terlally increased. Sewers ond Other Improvements, “The association has consistently ad- hered to its action in approving so much of the contemplated loan as is necessary to complete the sewer system in accordance with the projected plan, but has not given its approval to a further loan for miscel- laneous purposes. The sewers emptying into the Eastern branch are a continually increasing menace to health, the impending danger from which has been set forth in late reports from the officials of every sov- ernmental and district institution on both sides of the river. Much data and infor- mation. have been collected by the commit- tee on sewers, and strenuous efforts will bé made to procure some action to abate the nuisance. The committee are fully aware that they have entered upon a race with the undertaker. “The efforts of the association have b-en given to procuring a reduction in the price of gas. The aid given in this direction in collecting and compiling statistics and ar- guments before committees of Congress by an efficient member of our committee on water, lights and sewers, Mr. W. C. Dodge, entitles him to the thanks of the assocla- tion. It has clearly been demonstrated that gas of a good quality can be furnished, with reasonable profit, to the consumers in this city at $1 per 1,000 feet, and we believe that the efforts to secure legislation to this end will be successful during the coming winter. “The committee on assessments and ap- portionment of appropriations have been watchful of the interests of this section of the city, and their report will advise you of the result of their observations. Public Perks and Spaces. “A plan for public parks, suggested by Commissioner Powell, providing for a large park at the terminus of East Capitol street, covering a portion of the land to be re- claimed from the flats, received the ap- proval of the executive committee. “The committee on schools have given increased attention to the condition and de- fects of our public school system during the past year, and have made valuable re- ports thereon. The executive committee have also, by resolution, requested the Com- missioners to so readjust the lines of the school districts as to give two resident trustees to this section of the city—one to the northeast and one to the southeast. “The committee on health, police and charities will, by their report, show you that they have been observant of czheir duties. The executive committee urge that the support of the associacion be given to — movement for a more adequate police force. Improvement of the Anacostia. “The great purpose to which the «ssocia- tion is now committed is che reclamation of the flats and the improvement of the c! nel of the Anacostia river. The association was fortunate in securing the services of the nine gentlemen constituting the com- mittee In charge of this matter. They pos- sess within themselves legal ability of the highest order, legislative experience and business qualificat:ons which have stamped success upon previous undertakings. They are fully conscious of the great work before them, and determ'ned to prosecute it to final success. They have surveyed the field, inquired into the legal and other difficulties, devised means for overcoming them, and will be able ere long to disclose a plan of action that will most assuredly meet your approbation. Such of the details as they may be prepared to iay before you will be presented in the!r report tonignt. “While organized for the spe>ific purpose of promoting the interests of our own im- mediate locality, occasions arise when the duty devolves upon us of being participants in matters affecting the general welfare. A citizen is not properly equipped to be the representative or exponent of a locality or portion of the people ef a city unless he has mentally traversed the field of the rights of all, is quick to perceive when injustice or neglect falls upon another locality, and ready to respond to opportunities to benefit it, and, above all, to be alive to the general wants of the whole people, and prompt to give his aid to whatever will add to their prospertty, or redound to the credit of the city. “It is in this spirit that those who have had the charge of the affairs of this associa- tion have acted, and on these lines it has moved forward, winning the confidence of those who have officially eome in contact with it and the respect of our fellow-citizens generally. . Criticism Invited. “We believe’ that the acts of the adminis- trative officers of the District shovld be fairly scanned, and if believed to militate against the public good intelligently criti- cised and reasons adduced for their modifi- cation or repeal, but if benefitial they should receive commendation and support, and whenever propositions or suggestions in re- gard to proposod legislation emanate from them which will be for the public weal the citizens’ associations should be alert and active to create public sentiment in their favor and use all proper efforts to secure favorable action by Congress. The effort to procure the erection of a suitable munici- pal buildirg is one that now particularly commends itself to all, and we ask the asso- ciation to formulate an efficient plan to give it most zealous support. ‘We believe that the efforts that are made from time to time by our military, religious, Masonic, labor and other organizations to secure the holding of their national convo- cations at the national capital are a mani- festation of a public spirit and loyalty to the city that should be recognized and sub- stantially encouraged by the citizens’ asso- clations of this District. “Your committee In closing desire to say that, while the roll of members upon the books of the secretary is large, there is room for more. We are acting in concert with substantial citizens of East Washing- ton who have not yet connected themselves with our organization. They think as we do. They feel as we do, and desire to see accomplisned the things we are working for. They as earnestly wish to advance the interests of this section of the city ay we do, but they have not yet become impressed with the idea that here and in our ranks they can most successfully do this. We ask each member to constitute himself an en- Usting officer, solicit the attention of some good citizen as opportunity offers and take a little time to interest him in the specific things we are trying to do and appeal to him to give us his moral, personal and finan- clal support. Determine, first, to attend every meeting yourself; second, to bring a new member every time you come. There is no reason why the ranks of this association should not be quadrupled. There is pienty of most excellent material in our midst. It needs but to come in touch with them prop- erly to turn them hitherward. We ask you to enter upon this missionary work and let us double our numbers before the advent of the year 1896." The Railroad Committee. Chairman J. D. Croissant of the railroad committee In his report said: “It has not been the policy to engage in petty disputes over the management of the powerful aux- ifaries to our convenience and municipal prosperity, nor in a wholesale abuse of them, because of legally acquired fran- chises, but we have looked at the questions that have come before us as they are. “We have the tram and the steam cars bere. We do not want them to go, nor do we desire to persecute them in their legiti- mate presence, and in the proper adminis- tration of their affairs. We are glad to be able to report that there have been great improvements made in nearly all of our street car companies during the past year. Lines have been extended and consolidated and fares cheapened. “The introduction of the Buda Pesth sy tem of underground trolley by the Metro- politan Company (a system that we believe will solve the question of the general ap- plication of electricity to street car propul- sion, and the consequent reducing of ex- penses and cheapening of fares), has been the event of this year in railroad manage- ment. It is the intention of this company to fully equip with this power its bisecting line, and have it ready by August, 1596. The East Capitol street end will be ex- tended to 15th street east. The changing of the power on this important line will re- move a fruitful source of just complaint and severe criticism.” ‘The report speaks of the electric road in course of construction between this city ard Baltimore, and the belief is expressed that this city will be connected with the metropolis and the fares greatly reduced. Construction Recommended. ‘The committee recommends the construc- tion of additional lines, one to Marlboro’, Md., and one connecting East Washington with Tenleytown, and the territory adjacent to the new university. Reference is made in the report to the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, and to the work on the construction of the large re- pair shops at East Washington Park, which will require large expenditure of money and bring here nearly one thousand men for regular employment. in conclusion the report says: “We believe there is still room for great improvement and an imperative demand for the entire reorganization and readjustment of our railroad terminal privileges and facilities, and to the bringing about of these results this committee should devote its untiring exergies.” Chairman Jeffords of the committee on reclamation and improvement of the Ana- costia flats made a verbal report of the work of the committee, as did Chairman Croffutt of the committee on streets, lights and sewers. The latter mentioned the Ly- decker tunnel, for the reconstruction of which an appropriation is to be asked. Charity and Health. 8. S. Yoder, chairman of the committee on health, police and charity, made the fol- lcwing report: “We love to boast of the proud record the citizens of East Washington made during the last winter, when the calls for charity were so urgently made, and when we were expected to furnish $500. Our charitable citizens did not only contribute what was expected, but $1,500 besides, as follow: Cash collected $1,243. Other donations. Total contributions. 27 “And what is commendable, most of these dcnations were made by poor people, as is evidenced by the fact that there were 982 contributors. Too much cfedit cannot bé given Mrs. J. W. Babson, to whose noble and untiring labors as chairman of the ccmmittee of our district is due this grati- f result. request or complaints were made during the last year conzerning the police service, although it is a woll-known fact that ‘the force is deficient in numbers and should be increased as speedily as possible in our section of the city. “Credit is due to the health officer and his essistants for preventing the spread of smallpox in the early part of the year, with ro hospital for the proper care and treat- ment of persons affected with contagious diseases. We may not always be so suc cessful in controling contagious diseases, and our authorities should be urged, by this association to not further diilidally, but proceed at once to erect a hospital for this purpose. This delay may jeopardize the business, health and lives of our people. We have been singularly blessed with free- dom from epidemic, endemic, or infectious diseases, witn the single exception of ty- Clinkers In the grate put out the fire.

Until our sewer sys- tem is completed the greatest care should be exercised by our authorities in this rest pect. The open main sewer in the north- east section of our city is a menace to health and a disgrace to our city. ‘The Garbage Question. “At the request of this association your committee appeared before the committees in Congress and presented your petition and were instrumental in procuring the appro- priation of $60,000 for the collection and dis- position of the garbage. This was nearly & year ago, but yet today the garbage Is trans- ported, dumped into the Potomac river, tered from Georgetown to Alexandria, to brought back by the tide and festering the shores to pollute, fester and stink. J is hoped that some of the younger members of this association may live to see the when the garbage will be properly of in the capital of our nation. After vestigating ell this time the authorities contractors have concluded to dispose of our garbage by cremation and have selected one of the worst and what will pro’ the most insanitary and offensive of cremation in existence today. It is the judgment of your committee that this tem will never be tolerated in our city, an that in less than four months after it is erected it will be declared a nuisance, and the contractors will once more transport the garbage. “The health of our people demand that appropriation should be used for the sanitary disposition of the garbage. The science of cremation has been perfected to such a degree that garbage can be di in a perfectly sanitary manner, but not one of the systems adopted by the Commig+ sioners here. A test and experience prove this prediction to be correct. It is @ misnomer to call such a system cremati it should be named stemation. No syst is sanitary that does not evaporate drop of moisture into steam and afte: destroy in a superheated combustion cham- ber, so that not a particle of odor escapes into the open air. With the heat above thé garbage you cannot evaporate the water and without a combustion chamber you can- not destroy the odor arising from the pro- cess of destroying garbage. while with & properly constructed furnace, where the heat is applied beneath as well as over thé garbage, all moisture must be evaporated, and, with a properly constructed combus- tion chamber in the stack, with a tempera- ture of 2,000 degrees of heat, all odors are absolutely destroyed, and a boiler and en- gine to create smoke, cinders, noise to offend and annoy a neighborhood are not neces- sary.” Chairmen of other committees were not present to submit their reports, and the question of election of officers was put be- fore the association. ‘On motion of Mr. Girouard, the secretary was instructed to cast the vote for the re- election of last year’s officers—J. W. Bab- son, president; A. F. Sperry, secretary; M, I. Weller, treasurer; Tracy L. Jeffords and S. S. Yoder, members of the executive com- mittee. The members of the various committees will be announced at the next meeting. ——.——_ BRIGHT AUTUMN HUE. Golden Rod, Rich in Color, Makea Benutiful the Rural Landscape. From the New York Herald. If the golden rod family of America ever adopts a motto and crest it might well include the national motto, E Pluribus Unum. Eighty different varieties there are of this gay blossom which floods our autumn hills with sunshine, yet so like are they that in the eighty the popular eye protably recognizes only one. The vigorous claim made by the golden spray for precedence as the national flower adds to its beauty in many eyes. Probably the only regret of many enthusiasts is that their beloved posy so far forgot itself as to allow cne branch to stray to England. This branch does not differ greatly in form frcm the early variety so well known here, belonging, as it does, to the great family of golden rod, but its name is solidago virga aurea, the word solidago meaning to make whole, and probably referring to the hesling properties which are attributed to this genus. Of the eighty varieties that are native to the United States forty-two are found in the northeast. The best-known are the solidego arguta, which is the first to blos- scm, and is sometimes found in full fiower in the middle of July. The main steam is stacoth, as is also the slender flower stem, which bears a greenish-yellow flower that spreads widely apart and droops. Its sharply toothed leaf is feather veined, as the veins sprirg outward from each side of the middle rib, much as the smaller di- visions of a feather spring from its quill. The value of the golden blossom as a deco- ration at autumn weddings and church festi- vals is thoroughly appreciated in town or country. Nothing is more imposing in the way of trimming than banks of yellow plumes subdued by the green of ferns. whitish damask will only form a backgrou! for the brilliancy of this flower when used to grace the table, and its lovely color lends to any room an air of cheer that other flows ers fail to give. The enthusiastic love of the nation for the golden rod was shown when this flower and the arbutus were suggested as competitors for the position of honor as a national flower. The expression of the peo+ ple’s choice was decisive and the vote was cast by an overwhelming majority for the golden rod. Its blossom greets us first in July; and in ‘November, when the whole world is a pa+ geant of beauty, with its gorgeously chang+ ing leaves, the bright bloom of the golden rod it still found in dusty highways. ——- + Human Bones in a Hollow Tree. From the Globe-Democrat. Evidence of what is supposed-to have been a murder committed many years ago has been brought to light at Elk River, Minn. During a storm a large oak tree rear town was struck by lightning, and, being hollow, was split open from top te bottom. As Alex. Bowers was proceeding along the road his attention was attracted by something white within the hollow, an he made an investigation. He found thal the white objects were small human bon like those of a woman, and that they hax been in the tree so long that they were ready to fall to pieces. The skull, which as small, had been crushed in at the top, as though by a heavy blow on the head. When the news of the find was carried to Elk River it was remarked by some of the older residents that several years ago @ half-witted girl had disappeared from the -illage, and that no trace of her had ever been found. She had lived with her father there, and soon after her disappearance ** had gone away. This afternoon the » were buried.
