Mr.. Oyster Was Surprised.

Mr.. James F. Oyster had a surprising
experience when he attended the Police
Court this morning to answer a charge of
allowing enc of his drivers to drive a lame
horse. Judge Kimball heard the evidence
of one of the Humane Society's asents.and
then the clerk read to Mr.. Oyster a charge
of profanity. This was where the surprise
came in. Mr.. Oyster said, Il don't know
anything about it,
You charge Mr.. Oyster with profanity"
said the court; what is there about ito"
Il charged him with drunk and disorder
ly,' said Policeman Upperman.
The policeman then went on to tell how
the man whom he arrested had acted near
Sd and r streets. When his attention was
called to Mr.. Oyster, the policeman, very
much surprised, said, '"rhis is not the man
The man whom l arrested is locked up"
1t turned out that the man he hal ar
rested was Henry F. Oyster, and a mistake
had been made in the name Henry F.
Oyster then appeared and was fined.
In the case involving a charge of cruelty
to animals the proof did not sustain the
charge and Mr.. Oyster was acquitted.

ANACOSTIA CITIZENS.

Matters Discussed.

The Towns ahu
Matters Discussed.
The Anacostia Citizens Association met
last night at Hams Hall, in Anacostia, and
soon got down to work President II. A.
Linger presided.
Reports of standing committees were
called for, and Mr.. Carroll w. Smith re-
ported regarding survey for bridge to
cross from South Capitol street in Wash
ington over to Giesboro, also the prospect
of another bridge near Benning. and urged
the necessity of a sewer up Harrison street,
that that thoroughfare might be sooner
paved; cess pool was reported on Taylor
street between Washington and Jefferson
streets. Mr.. King reported the bursting of
a service pipe on Harrison street and that
a survey had been made for sewer TO
commence at Harrison and. Monroe streets
and continue to the large sewer at Fill
more street. Mr.. MinniX, on the committee
on schools, reported a new school house
for Congress Heights, and Mr.. Tolson, on
police, touched lightly on the recent shoot
ing affair in HiiSdale.
There seemed some idea that some ac-
ton should be taken regarding the killing
OF Reuben Foster. and there was an in
formal talk, but it was finally decided
not to take action.
The question of AnacoStia and its bound
aries then came before the association.
and the newspapers were criticised for
attributing affairs of Hillsdale and other
from reading the newspapers. if he had
never been to Anacostia, he should desire
to see it from curiosity. The citizens eN-
pressed themselves against the publishing
OF news which had a detrimental effect TO
Anacostia and which had not occurred in
Anacostia, and the recent shooting case
OF Hillsdale was cited an instance. A
committee was appointed, consisting OF
President H. A. LinSer Carroll W. Smith,
julius Tolson and Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson,
to endeavor to correct the evil.
President Lnger then announced the
committees for the ensuing year, which are
as follows: Streets, roads and bridges, W.
Marden KING (chairman), J. w. Barley and
George II. Gray; water and sewers, George
