Second Strike Avcrtcd.

While every one in Anacostia Saturday
afternoon was rejoicing that the great
street railway strike, in which the entire
population had taken such a deep interest,
had been settled. a scene was transpiring
at the stables of the Anacostia Railroad
Company that for a time threatened to re-
suit in a second strike. Saturday morning
President Griswold directed Superintendent
Newton to call the stabiemen together and
inform them that he (Mr Griswold) did not
understand that the agreement made be-
tween the company and the executive COM
mittee of the Street Railway Union, under
which the pay of the employees of the com
pany was to be increased to 81 30 per day,
included the stablemen. and that he should
only increase their wages proPortionately
to what they had heretofore been getting.
thus making the maximum rate Sl.3o per
stabiemen we're dumfounded, but asked
for a delay of few hours before making
their answer, and this was granted.
Meanwhile President Laurence Of the Rail-
way Union, who was in Washington. was
sent for to come over to Anacostia. and he
responded speedily. Mr. Laurence and the
representatives of the railroad company
then had conference and the former
presented the ultimatum of the union, viz.
$50 per day of not exceeding twelve hours
work for all drivers and stabienlen. and in
case of failure on the part of the COM
pany to include the latter in the new ar
rangement end to pay them the amount
due Tuesday another ueup of the road to
be ordered The railway representatives
at once acceded to Mr., Laurence's demand,
and the men continued with their work.

OPENING THE DOOR.

Detectives Withdrawn From Across
the River Trncks.
There are no tonger any of the Pinker-
ton detectives employed at the race tracks
across the river, and the police expect that
the New York thieves who are wholly un-
known to them, will soon arrive, and. as
they term it, do the town" 1t is said
that the Joneses at the Old Dominion, or
jackson City track, were anxious that the
detectives should be kept,but the st. Asaph.
or Virginia Jockey Club people, claimed
that the business of the track did not justi-
fy the expense. Capt. Tobin and John
Murphy, the two Pinkertons who have
been here recently, were discharged Satur-
day,sand have gone home. Seymour But
ler, who was here for so long time. left
several weaks ago, when the races started
at New York Capt Tobin succeeded him.
Soon after the races started across the
river a number cf New York thieves came
here. so the police say, and not only
robbed spectators on the track, but they
also robbed houses and persons on street
cars liz this city. Seymour Butler was then
sent here from the Pfnkerton agency I'm
New York. and he soon spotted and drove
from here number of the New York
thieves. Then, too, the local detectives
were in ths habit of going over to the race
tracks. where they could see the crooks
The Pinkerton detective was very accom-
modating and pointed out to them all the
crooks he saw, and before ordering them
away he always sent for the Washington
officers who were on the track, and haG
them look over the men who were MOI
wanted.
But # leaked out that some of the Wash
ington officers had risked small amounts
on the races, and this was told to Com
missioner Truesdell Then the Information
reached the police officials, and II is stated
that inspector Hollinbergcr was about to
call mp some of his men for their conduct
at the tracks.
This resulted in alarming the members of
the force and now they are seldom seen
across the river, unless they go over there
looking up some particular case.
Now that the Pinkerton men are gone
ard the detectives feel that they are barred
from the race tracks they expect that the
thieves who come will spend their days al
the tracks and operate here at night.
