ANACOSTIA.

TRYING TO REDEEM HILLsDALE.-The ad
journed meeting Of Hillsdale citizens was held
in Douglass hall last night with Mr.. Elias
Harrod in the chair and Mr.. John A. London
as secretary. The call Of the meeting being
read Mr.. Thomas Green, chairman Of the COM
mittee appointed to wait upon the District
authorisies in regard to granting future per-
mits for entertainments in the hall, stated that
they visited the Commissioners and were told
they had no desire to prevent the Hillsdale
people from enjoying themselves in any proper
manner and would grant permits to respectable
ana responsible persons. Mr.. T. G. Brown
said there seemed to be q faction trying to in
huence the Commissioners still to refuse per-
mits, but that the men composing such faction
were too cowardly to come to the public meet
ings called to discuss the matter, and got them
selves together like conspirators in corner.
Mr. ?. F. Edelin, said that some Of the sore
heads had said to him that IS to them would
secure the ball at any time now, implying that
their objections could be bought off. Mr..
Robert Berry said that men who had lived in
the village twenty years and held government
they were not at the head Of it, and were dart
ing around like midnight providers trying to
keep people away. At the former meeting reso-'
luton was adopted asking for the organization
OK peoples protective association and this
new business was now taken up, a committee OF
Brown, j. W. Scott, P. F. Edelin,, Patton John
son, Elias Harrod and Mr.. Berry, being ap-
pointed to draft a constitution and bylaws and
put things in working shape. 1t was stated
that South Washington has committee of
nineteen men who look after the interests of
the whole community, and it was believed the
peoples protective association of Hillsdale
could redeem it from the bad name it had
gained through few disorderlies perma-
nent organization was effected, with Mr.. Elias
Harrod, president; Robt. Berry, vice president;
Alex. Frasier, secretary; John A. London, as
g16tant GanFatarv.
