The property owners of Prospect avenue above 36th street are strongly complaining about th condition of the street at the present time. Some time ago, when the tracks of the Great Falls road were ex- tended from 3sth to 36th street, the rail- road company tore up a stone flagging which crossed the avenue at 27th street. Upon complaint of the property owners at the time, the District authorities assured them that the flagging would be restored, and the railroad company also promised to replace the crossing, but this has nev been done. At the present time the stree is almost in an impassable condition for pedestrians. The members of the Epworth League of the Dumbarton Avenue M. KE. Church gave their first public entertainment Friday evening in the lecture room of the church, which was largely attended. The program embraced what was called living adverti ments, living pictures representing adv tisements being presented. There were thir- ty of these tableaux in all. At the close eight young people of’ the league gave a drill, which was very pretty. —__ = Supply Company Incorporated.

About thirty cors, includ- ing the Robinson radial car, a motor affair, valued at $6,000, and ten double-decker 0b- tion trolley cars, valued at $2,000 each, 2 destroyed in the fire. ‘The total loss is estimated at $65,000. The residence owned by Col. George Truesdell and occupied by Mr. John Huddleson, the druggist, which was situated near the scene of the confla- gration, was damaged to the extent of $2,000 by the flames, while furniture and personal property owned by the tenant suffered heavy damage. In each case, it ts said, the loss is covered by insurance. Frank Schoepf, night foreman of the com- pany, who the only person in the Eck- ington car shed Wheh It caught fire, de- clares the whole building seemed to be en- veloped in flame at the same time. He first noticed it shortly after 10 o'clock, when the office was the only part of the building not affected. He rushed to the telephone in an endeavor to send in an ali ‘The wires had already been damaged, however, and the instrument would not work. | Mr. Schoepf hurried to alarm box No. 618, at the corner of id and Seaton streets. The box also failed to work, he says. In the meantime Policeman Pearson had discover- ed the fire and sent in an alarm. Fire Engines Arrive. Fire engines from the vicinity were soon on the scene, but it was 11 o'clock before water was effectively thrown upon the burning building. A second alarm brought a number of additional engines to the scene, but already the railway company’s property was practically in ruins. The residence of Mr. Huddleson was also scorching in the heat, and by the time the fire department was in working order had caught fire in the rear. Mr. Huddleson was Ill in bed at ths time, but was taken to the house of friends. Members of the family removed a quantity of their personal effects before the fire reached their home, and in this way saved many of their more valuable possessions. The library was badly damaged. Little remains of the shed today to tell the story of Saturday night's flre except 4 pile of ashes and twisted and broken iron girders and such minor wreckage of the cars that withstood the powerful heat. In the electrical room at the southwest corner of the building a large quantity of supplies, mostly armatures, were compiete- ly ruined. A number of gasoline tanks ex- ploded during the fire, adding fury to the flame No Interference With Schedule. All of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home property, including the burned shed and cars, was recently acquired by the City and Suburban company. The cars burned were mostly of an obsolete attern, unused trol- ley cars, which thé¢o%npany was awaiting a favorable opportunity to sell. The fire did not interfere In the least with the schedules of the company, either on the horse car lines in the elty or the suburban trolley road. The power house near the car shed was not damaged, and the dyna- mos were i in perfect order. An official report bf the fire and its origin has been made to police headquarters by Sergeant Slatterly of the eighth precinct. He says that, after investigation, he reach- ed the conclusion the fire aused by the electrical apparatuson one of the motor cars igniting. The car had been turned in and left standing in the doorw: where Foreman Schoept first discovered the flames. —-—— PLAN FOR PLANTING TREES. Suggestion by Mr. Richards Respect- ing Connecticut Avenue. Mr. Wm. P. Richard tant engineer of the District, has submitted to the Com- missioners a plan for planting trees on Connecticut avenue between K street and Dupont Circle, and the Comm’ s approved it. Mr. Richards recommends that the trees be planted on as possible along the curb line, thirty-five feet apart, and that those already planted be closely trimmed, subject to their removal at the end of three.or four years. He states that the oriental plain tree seems to bes' the conditions existing on the thorough- fare, and that the reasons for making the change are that the old trees have been planted too close; that they are of av riety unfit for th jon ave 1 continuity of the trees, and that their itions have further caused them to grow in close to the houses, thereby preventing a free circulation of air. While It has been considered, he sts that the existing lines formed a very pleas- ing feature, it is thought that sanitary. rea- sons are more weighty than the artistic considerations of the case, a number of peo- ple along the avenue having already ex- pressed themselves favorably to the change. > DECLINES TO PROSECUTE. Abandonment of Charge Against Mrs. Priscilla Crabtree. In the case of Mrs. Priseilla Crabtree, who was arrested Saturday by Detectives rter and Gullaher on a charge of steal- ing a lamp from the house of M min Taylor, as published in Saturday's Star, no charge was filed in the Police Court today ‘aturday afternoon, after the s Mrs. Crabtree’s husband appearance, and she ws bond for her released. When the case was called for investiga- tion in the office of Assistant District At- torney Mullowny this morning Mrs. ‘Tayler did not appear as a witness, Her husband appeared in her stead, and Mr. Crabtree also there. Mrs. Crabtree repeated her jal made at the time of her arrest, and Mr. Taylor said he had no desire to pros- cut the case. Mr. Mullowny thereupon rv fused to file any charge in court. > In Search of Easy Job. “This is another one of the tramps from Brookland,” Policeman Mitchell toid Judge Scott this morning, when he introduced John Crawford. “When I arrested him he said he was on hisiway from Baltimore to Alexandria.” if “Why did you leaye’ Baltimore?” asked the court. de ‘uflher south, looking “Pm on my wa: i for an easy job,” way the prisoner's re- sponse “What kind of work lid you do in Balti- more?

S. KANN, SONS & CO., ANACOSTIA HAPPENINGS. 1 Death of Daniel Utz—General and Personal. Daniel Utz, a white man, twenty-eight years of age, died suddenly Saturday even- ing. Mr. Utz, who was unmarried, lived with near relatives at the Clarke place, about a mile beyond Twining City, on the Anacostia road. After eating a hearty sup- per Saturday evening he took a pitcher and went several hundred yards across the fields to the house of a neighbor, William Smith, to purchase a pint of milk. He se- cured this and started back. Ten minutes later Smith and a friend named Frank Lu- cas, who were passing over the same road, found Utz lying unconscious on the ground about half way from his home. The two men immediately conveyed him there, but he died, without regaining consciousness, twenty minutes after being taken inside the house. Coroner Carr was notified of the case and repuested Dr. J. A. Watson of Anacostia to make an investigation. After doing so yesterday Dr. Watson gave a certificate of death from natural causés, naming valvu- lar disease of the heart and acute ind.ges- tion. Coroner Carr today decided there was no reason to hold an inquest. The county officers of this precinct, | well as those of the ninth, which a/_oins this on the northeast, are at present pa. ing much attention to the Anacostia Benning freight yards, having received special instructions to do so. The object of the quest by the officers is to get their hands on a southern colored murderer who has earned the alias of “Hobo” from being about such localities In| compaay with tramps. The police have a good ¢escrip- tion of the murderer, whose name is stated to be “Gold” Holston, alias White, ai Wright. He committed murder at mingham, Ala., and a reward of $900 hi been offered for his capture. While sanding in front of a house on Monroe street recently the horse attached to the wagon of Moses Lulley of Washing- ton took fright at a passing electric car and ran away. A boy on the scat was thrown out, but was not injured, and the ‘wagon was dashed against the awnmg poles in front of J. F. Campbell's hardware store, on Monroe street, with disastrous results, one of the large glass windows of the store being smashed. The damage amounted to $20. This sum Lulley agreed to pay, and the affair was amicably set- tled. ‘The funeral of Robert H. Howard, who died Saturday at his home near Twining City, was held yesterday afternoon from the Emmanuel Protestant Episcopal Church, Anacostia, Rev. W. G. Davenport, rector, officiating. The remains were interred in Congressional cemetery, where the de- ceased had beeh employed. He was one of the best-known residents of this section. He leaves a wife and several children. It is stated that Mr. C. H. Weiss will in a short time resign the position he now holds as justice of the peace for Anacostia and vicinity. Mr. Weiss has filled the place for about ten months, Attorney A, L. Sudd: Richardson of Anacostia is a candidate for the position and is circulating a paper in his own behalf. After the rain of yesterday Nich ve~ nue between the insane asylum ic gate and Congress Heights is today reported to be in a ‘y bad condition.
