20 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA. ‘The impression among both the employes of the Anacostia Railway Company and the citzers of the town is that there will be no strike of the former, in consequence of the proposed change in pay by Preside Gris- wold, unless the Street Railway Union, of which the Anacostia men are members, shall order them to take this course. The statements of the affairs of the rail- way company, which appeared in The Star of yesterday and the day before have ap- parently convinced all interested that the falling off in the receipts of the company, and that alone, has compelled Mr. Griswold to adopt the course he expects soon to put in operation. There is, however, a very general wish that in the rearrangement of matters some way will be provided, so that the drivers will have an opportunity during the cold weather to warm themselves while their cars remain at the Hillsdale terminus. Last winter there was no chance for a driver to warm himself from the time he went on duty until his car went into the shed for the night—in some instances seventeen or eighteen hours, and in consequence the suffering of the poor fellows was many times intense. It is believed that a room, in which a stove could be placed could be secured near the south terminus at small expense, and if this course is adopted, one source of great complaint will be removed. The south end of the Navy Yard bridge took fire from an unknown cause yester- day afternoon about 4 o’clock and for a time the excitement in the lower part of Anacostia was intense. Fortunately the flames were discovered by Policeman Far- quhar before they had acquired much headway, and he and some citizens extin- quished the blaze with buckets of water. It is thought the fire was started by some one throwing a lighted cigar between the planks and that this ignited a mass of rubbish beneath the structure. Cornelius Sturtevant of Hillsdale was arrested last night on complaint of Mary Smith, and locked up in the Anacostia substation to answer a charge of assault and battery. This is the second time with- in a few dave that Sturtevant has got in- to trouble for fighting. Dr. A. M. Green is about to commence the erection of a pretty cottage on Wash- ington street. The cost will be in the neighborhood of $1,500. Mrs. Mary Ford, living near Giesboro’ Point, and who is the proprietress of a small poultry form, had about half a dozen of her finest ducks killed by an unknown sportsman while the ducks were swimming on the river yesterday morning. Mr. Elias Rollins, living a short distance from Congress Heights, has reported to the police authorities of Anacostia that a night or two ago an out house on his premises was broken into and a number of articles stolen. An Anacostia man bought a horse for twenty-five cents one day this week and the animal died within two hours after he had secured possession. The horse was noticed by some boys floundering around on the flats near Twining City, and they managed to get a rope around his neck, by which they pulled .him to dry land. Whether or not in doing so, they dislo- cated the animal's neck is not known, but any,rate his subsequent life was very brief. —— BROOKLAND. ‘There was a large attendance at the first fall meeting of the Ladies’ Aid Society of the M.

From the Lewiston, Me., Journal. Some new yarns come down from Oxford county concerning the gentle ard whimsi- cal showmen, Artemus Ward, whose life was an exemplification of his pet motto: “P. S—U skratch mi back & ile skratch ures.” Dr. O. N. Bradbury ef Norway, in hunting among his papers recently, dis- covered the manuscript of an article that was contributed to the Cartharian Rill, a Norway Lyceum paper, by Charles Farrar Brown (Artemus Ward). He was at that time a student at the Norway Liberal In- stitute, eking out his scanty means by working in the Advertiser office. The eketch in Dr. Bradbury's possession is a mock advertisement, and it is undoubt- edly Artemus Ward's first humorous con- tribution to any publication. The young student had two small rooms back of the large room used by the Advertiser. These rooms were poorly finished and poorly fur- nished, being quite guililess of paint and without carpets. He saved expenses by boarding himself. He had an easy, happy-go-lucky way, and a drawl in speaking that were inimitable. If he spoke on the question in lyceums he was quite -ure to take a hun:orous view of the subject. Young Frown had participated in these debates only a shcrt time when his humorous methods of discussing the ques- tions and the unexpected fanciful turns he often gave the debates were so appreciated by the citizens of Norway that large au- diences assembled when Charlie Brown was announced as one of the debaters. On the evenings when these debates were held he weuld lounge into the hall quite early, and, after greeting his more intimate friends, take one of the three wooden-bot- tomed chairs, and, placing it upon the raised platform, which extended along the north end of the hall, sit down. In a short time he would tip his chair, so as to bal- ance it upon the hind legs, with his shoul- ders against the partition, and with his left foot on the front round of the chair, his right leg ‘crossed over hts left knee, and his arms folded upon his breast, sit almost motionless during the evening, except when called upon to participate in the debate. ————-+e+___—_ Big Money for an Imagination.
