Delay in Perfecting Rapid Transit Facilities Causes Anxiety—Daptist Sanday School Outing—Notes. The close approach of July 1, the date fixed upon by the Post Office Department for the transfer of the Anacostia post office to the presidential class, has served to awaken much.interest in the matter among the patrons of the office, and a very gen- eral desire has been expressed, both by republicans and democrats, that Postmas- ter Julius W. Tolson, who was appointed during the acministration of President Cleveland, and whese commission does not expire for more than seventeen months, shall be allowed to serve out a four years term, and a petition has been circulated asking for his retention. At the same time, however, there are several candidates for the position of posi- master when the vacancy shall occur, and each is making a still hunt for the place. The fact that the law requires that a pos master of the presidential class must 4 vote his or her whole time to the duties of the office will, it is believed, remove from the list several gentlemen who other- wise would stand a good chance of secur- ing the prize. The Rapid Transit Problem. A good many of the residents of Ana- costia and vicinity who have heretofore been stanch friends and supporters of the Capital Railway Company, and have been hoping against hope that there would be no further delay in the matter of securing rapid transit beteween Congress Heights and the city, have reached the conclusion that it will be a good while before electric cars will be running over the line. It has been more than a week since a trolley car was operated, and there does not seem to be much prospect taat any will be run soon. All sorts of excuses are offered for the delay. Sometimes it is the want of more powerful machinery in the power house; sometimes it 1s said the coils under the cars are not wound right, and still again it has been asserted that the wheels of the cars are not suitable for the bodies. That something is wrong with the wheels seems to a layman to be true, for whenever, thus far, a car has been operated on Monroe street it has been ac- companied by a brilliant pyrotechnic dis- Play, which could not be satisfactorily ex- plained, but which was the equal of aimost any Fourth of July celebration ever seen in_the place. The question of transfers, it is said, still remains unsettled. The Capitol Traction Company stands ready, its officers say, to make all the necessary arrangements for the proposed transfer, but so far as is known, they have received no communica- tion on the subject from the officers of the Cspital Railway Company. Sundny School Excursion. The officers, teachers and scholars of the Anacostia Baptist Sunday school, Rev. H. T. Stevenson, pastor, together with a large number of friends, had their annual ex- cursion to Marshall Hall yesterday. ‘The excursion was a great success, and almost every person in Anacostia and vicinity who could make it suit to leave his or her business for the day went along. Bicycle Rider Injured. Mr. George C. Gertman, who is regarded as one of the best bicycle riders in Ana- costia, is slowly recovering from the ef- fects of an accident a few days ago. By some means Mr. Gertman, who at the time was riding along the railroad track, near Bladensburg, fell into a culvert about four feet deep. His wheel was demolished, and he was badly bruised and shaken up. Declines Re-Election, It is reported that Mr. H. A. Linger, who kas served as president of the Anacostia Building Lean Association for a number of years, will decline a re-clection at the approaching annual meeting of the society, and that Messrs. W. N. Freeman and Gude will be candidates for the vacancy. Brief Mention. Twenty-six pupils of the Van Bureit School were certified for admission to the High School by Principal Ely yesterday. Roland Reed, who for a considerable time has lived in Virginia, has returned to Anacostia, which will be his home for the future. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Burch of No. 410 Jackson street have gone to the White Sulphur Springs for a stay of several weeks. Mr. George W. Gates and Miss Lillie Vv. Kerns of Anacostia, who were married by Rev. C. O. Isaac, pastor of the Anacostia M. E. Church, last week, and have since been on their wedding tour, are expected to return within a few days. Their fi home will be in Anacostia. pei GUESTS OF THE PENNSYLVANIA. Newspaper Men and Their Wives Cape May. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAPE MAY, N. J., June 24, 1897. Tomorrow, to make the season lively, Cape May, or at least the famous Stock. ton Hotel, will be filled with guests from Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia. The working newspaper men, with their wives and lady friends, of those cities will be here about four hundred strong, as guests of the great Pennsylvania Railroad fompany. The party will remain until Monday, and be under the personal care of Assistant General Passenger Agent George W. Boyd, and the Washington con- Ungent will be under the eye of District Agent Colin Studds of Washington. The time will be passed in boating, driving and fishing in the daytime and hops in the evening. Sunday evening a sacred con- cert will be given. The warm weather wave which has come up out of the south has driven many peo- ple here In the past few days, and really made it possible to open the season with a crowd. The entertainment arranged for the guests who will be here for the next ten days is of a pleasant social order. There will be hops and dances Innumera- ble. The outdoor sports are in full force, excepting base ball, and other events are being arranged for in numbers. As the season advances visitors are ap- pearing from every state in the Union. Arkansas and Louisiana have contributed to the cottage colony. Kentucky, Tennes- see, Ohio, Virginia and Maryland have Sea bathing has commenced,the tempera- ture of the Atlantic naving risen to such a degree as to allow the pleasure. The beach here, which the residents claim is the finest on the eastern coast of the United States, is broad and smooth, with a gradual slope into the sea. It is of hard and white sand, yet is elastic to the tread. The edge cf the ocean is free from gullies, and allows the bather the choice of the depth of the water in which he wisnes to plunge. The Harrison cottage, which is now own- ed by ex-Postmaster General Wanamaker, will be opened this season by the latter's son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Barclay H. Warburton of Philadelphia. Governor and Mrs. William C. Oates of Alabama are to spend the season at the Windsor. Minister and Madame Romero will pass a part of the season here. Mrs. J. Alden Guest of Washington is staying at the Baltimore Inn. Mrs. Robert Stickney and family are at the Brexton for the summer. gh Sey Roberta an: — Stockton yesterday from Washington. ——_——-.- Its Centennial Anniversary.

As has been stated in The Star, the Dis- trict Commissioners concurred with the Jocal inspector of buildings in favor of the issue of the permit. Under the law all per- mits for projections are subject to the ap- proval of the Secretary of War, whose ac- tion in such cases is final. In a letter to the District Commissioners today, Secretary Alger said that after hear- ing the arguments of counsel, and a careful examination of the premises,No.1607 I street, he believed that the proposed extension “would be a gross infringement upon the rights of property owners on either side,” and therefore he decided to approve the permit. The applicaticn was accordingly returned to the District Commissioners without the approval of the Secretary of War. es Republican Meeting. ‘The republicans of Lakeland, Md., with a number from the surrounding country, held an enthusiastic meeting at that place last evening, which was addressed by W.

The party, consisting of about seventy-five correspondents, was in charge of Passenger Agent Studds. Stops will be made at Baltimore and Philadel- phia, where local newspaper men will join the party, and Cape May will be reached in time for dinner. The outing will last four days, the members of the party being guests of the Pennsylvania company. ———— Combined. From Life.
