ANACOSTIA HAPPENINGS. Vehicles—Child's Ankle Broken—Briefs. While Allan McRae, residing on 17th street, Anacostia, was out driving yester- day with his family, consisting of his wife and three small children, his carriage came in collision with a passing buggy, and one wheel was taken off. One of the chilcren, aged three years, was thrown out and had an ankle broken. The driver of the vehicle which did the damage did not stop, it is charged, but, instead, drove. quickly off. Dr. T. D. Mudd attended the injured child. The funeral of Mrs. Veacy, a former resi- dent of Anacostia, was held yesterday af- ternoon from the Emmanuel P. E. Church, the rector, Rev. W. G. Davenport, conduc ing the burial service. The interment was made in Congressional cemetery. Anacostia Rechabite Tent, No. 138, has fitted up a new and large meeting hall on Harrison street.

Orators Tell of the Splendid Work of the Colored Soldier—What ‘Was Said and Done. ‘The ceremonies at Harmony cemetery be- gan’ =: — at 1 o'clock. Comrade. James Wells, comander of O. P. Morton Post, the lafg2st post of colored men in the G. A. R., under whose auspices the exer- cises took place, was master of ceremonies and president of the meeting. Soon after th sounding of the assembly by a bugler and prayer by the chaplain of the post, Nicholas Wheeler, the speaking began. The principal address was made by Rev. Jesse B. Colbert, pastor of Galbraith Ma2thodist Church, who, after referring to | the signiticance of the day and the manner in which colored men came to be enlisted | in the United States army, said: ; “If the inquiring world wishes to know the true story of your victories and achieve- ments of your departed comrades let the bat:l2fields of Antie am, Murfreesboro, Port Gibson, Gettysburg, Fort Wagner, Fort Fisher, Vicksburg and others tell the story. Today thousands of graves of the Union soldiers who lie buried beneath southern soil are being covered with fr2sh and beau- tiful flowers, choice emblems of pure and brave hearts. “This important ev2nt should not be ob- served and celebrated by a part but by the whole people, for the results are being en- joyed alike by all. The privil2ges and im- | munities which the sacrifices and unselfish lives of our sainted dead have made possi- bl2 are the common heritage of every citi- zen. In this denonstration and sacred duty Rey. J. B. Colbert. all sectional feelings should be eliminated, geographical lines should be obliterate caste prejudice should be buried, past diffe! ences should be forgotten, every line of de- markation should be erased. “Like almost everything else which has entered into the history of the country. where the colored man was concerned, he (the colored man) has been left as the last resort, and his services were only brought into requisition when the exigencies of the country demanded it. He has invariably been a subject of emergenc “So it was durfng ihe last war. He was mustered into service as a military neces- sity. It is an old adage that experience is a dear school. Not until the disastrous defeats of Bull Run, Ball's Bluff and Fred- ericksburg did the government see the ne- cessity of enlisting the colored man. They attempted to evade the issue, but to no avail. Defeat and despair were greeting them on every hand. They wanted to jus- tify and palliate their stupidity by saying ‘it_ was the white man’s country and the white man’s war.’ They resorted to every kind of subterfuge to keep the subject of slavery in the background of the conflict until finally it was seen that they could not dodge the issue any longer. “The grave conditions demanded an open and unqualified presentation of the object, which was to the effect, make the subject of slavery the main issue, arm the col- ored man and let him have a hand in breaking the accursed shackles that had bound him for 250 years. What Was Predicted. “Some of the wiseacres predicted that the country’s interests would not be safe in the hands of the black soldier, and that his courage cculd not be depended upon; that a crack of the master’s whip would send him pell -mell from the battlefield. He had already proved an indispensable factor in the service of the confederacy. in supplying its commissary department, dig- ging its trenches and throwing up its breastworks, which made them almost im- pregnable to the Union soldiers. The ex- periment of Ben Butler in collecting the slaves and treating them as contrabands proved successful. “Afterward the similar experiments met yal Blue Serge Suit to order, spot, in fact, Our Royal Blue Serge is pure wool —the kind the sheep furnishes. it is an IDEAL SUMMER SUIT.

In the course of his address, Rev. Dr. George W. Lee, pastor of the Vermont Ave- nue Baptist Church, said: We are here to celebrate the memory of those who offered themselves upon the alfar of their country. They could have lived, but they thought it better to die if need be that principle might live, than live and let pFfucipie die. “By this they have tmmoftalized their name.

Duty of the Local Authorities at Key West. “There is no statute of Congress,” said a government official today, ‘whereby mar- tial law can at this time be proclaimed at Key West.” This statement was made in reply to questions as to what might be done as a result of the outbreak that occurred at Key West last week, in which several men lost their lives. “Martial law,” the offi- clal added, “exists only when the army is in she enemy’s country. Of course there are exceptions to this general rule, but they are not such as would apply to the condi- tion of affairs at Key West. There might be a military government provided for es- pecially by Congress, when the people in any one section proclaim. their hostility to the government. For instance, Congress provided for a provisional military govern- ment for some of the southern states at the close of the late war, after peace had wh A “Strai and suspicion.

Ave. DOWN AT CHICKAMAUGA. Interesting Recital of the Incidents of the District Regiment's Trip. A prominent resident of Washington who has two sons in the First District Regi- ment, Camp Thomas, received a letter from one of them, which tells in a few words a number of interesting things, giv- ing an excetlent idea of the way the trip was made and how Washington boys have fared since leaving home and their cur- roundings at Chickamauga. “Since I left you at Washington Satur- day night,” says the writer, “I have had enovgh experiences to fill a book. Three sergeants were ordered t6 guard the com- mjssary car, and I was in command. At night we stood gtard three hours apiece with loaded rifles, and lived in that car two nights and a day. A freight car is the only thing to travel a long distance in, and we had ‘all the comforts of home.” We had spring cots, loads to eat, and mother’s lunch was elegant and fed the crowd all the way. We fitted up the car like a room, ard had a table to eat on, and outside of the cities we opened both doors and used-it as an observation car. We branched cff at Shenandoah junction and went down the valley through Roanoke and Bristol, Tenn. 1 have seen beautiful scenery, and all day Sunday we were up in the mountains and clouds. Every town turned out and gave us flowers, flags and fruit. We had three fiags in our car, and as we were in front we got the good things first. Church services were broken up for the people to come out to us. “We reached Chattanooga, and there was Lookout mountain and Missionary Ridge towering up. After we unloaded and got the wagon train started, we marched four- teea miles out here to the park. The heat was fearful and men dropped like sheep. I was ordered to guard the ammunition wagon and rode on it until I thought it would hatch out and go off. We had twenty-five wagons in our train, but that was not enough, so a great many slept on the ground the first night. I slept on the company chest, and stood guard until 12 o'clock. Our camp was placed right in the woods. The park is as large as the Dis- trict, with beautiful woods for camps, and every regiment has a perfect parade ground. There are men camped here from all over the country. I have seen more battlefields and monuments, where regi- ments were wiped out, than I ever saw be- fore. We drove right over Missionary Ridge. There is a cable road running to the top of Lookout mountain, and as soon as I get a chance I am going up. “We bought a monkey for a mascot, and have. a great time with him. We don’t know how long we will be here. We can't get any news down here, and don’t kaow whether the war is over or not. H. and I are perfectly well.” ——-— WILL REJOIN SCHLEY’S SQUADRON.
