ANACOSTIA.

La GRrPPE's ONE HUSDRED.-There are about
hundred cases Of la grippe reported in this
vicinity. One physician was called to thirty
five patients yesterday. Mr.. George Watson,
who is employed at the Capital national bank,
was taken suddenly with la grippe yesterday
afternoon and word was telephoned to his
father, who brought him home in a carriage.
FLIES IN JASuARY.-Itis rather unusual to see
horses stand in their stables and kick flies in
January, but such is the condition Of things
here, and people will take down their fly nets
and hang their screen doors unless the weather
brings relief soon. Mr.. c. +. Watson remem-
bers similar season in 1878, when he came
home from the Mediterranean in the ldfrigate
Congress and was paid of in Philadelphia on
ST. Jacksons day. But two weeks later he was
up the Hudson and that river was frozen solid
enough to bear train of cars.

The Negroes Moving Westward.

RALEIGH, n. G., Jan, % The princi.
pal labor agent at work in this state saws
that since the first Of last Sci tember he
has removed from North Carolina 10000
negroes. These are all from the eastern
counties, and many from the second con-
gressional district. 1t is said that enough
negroes have left the district to make it
doubtful politically, since it always las
two negro candidates for congress. The
negroes place absolute confidence in the
agents. Up TO last year there was only
one man they would believe, and that was
n negro preacher Now the labor agent
ontranks the negro preacher. The rail
roads and the labor agents are now reap
ing harvest.
An agent said last night that So 900
was very reasonable estimate OF the
negroes who have left North Carolina In
the past thirteen months. So far most
OF them have gone to Mississippi and
Arkansas Now the big movement will
be to Louisiana. The planters there are
clamOring for )abOrers, and the agents
have their hands full of orders. They
find it now harder day by day to secure
labor, but tonight train passed here
with 1000 blacks on board. Hardly any
negroes 20 from points vest of Raleigh.
The agents find it quite difficult to get
cars in which to transport them. All
the negroes 20 to Nicksburg, and there
have to be transferred. Local labor
agents there are always on the watch to
entice them away from the agents who
take them from here. One big farmer in
this way lost eighty men whose railway
fares he had paid
