ANACOSTIA.

The impression among both the employees
of the Anacostia Railway Company and the
citizens of the town is that there will be no
strike of the former, in consequence of the
proposed change in pay by President Girls
void. unless the Street Railway Union. of
which the Anacostia men are members,
shall order them to take this course.
The statements of the affairs of the rail-
way company, which appeared in The Star
of yesterday and the day before have APP
parently convinced all interested that the
falling off in the receipts of the company,
and that alone has compelled Mr.. Griswold
to adopt the course he expects soon to put
In operation.
There is, however. very general wish
that in the Encouragement of matters some
way will be provided, SO that the drivers
will have opportunity during the cold
weather to warm themselves while their
cars remain at the Hilsdale terminus. Last
winter there was no chance for driver to
warm himself from the time he went on
duty until his car went into the shed for
the night-in some instances seventeen or
eighteen hours, and in consequence the
suffering of the poor fellows was many
times intense. 1t is believed that a room,
in which stove could be placed could be
secured near the south terminus at small
expense, and II this course is adopted. one
source of great complaint will be removed.
The south end of the Navy Yard bridge
took fire from an unknown cause yeSter-
day afternoon about O'Clock and for
time the excitement in the lower part of
Anacosta was intense Fortunately the
flames were discovered by Policeman Far
quhar before they had acquired much
Roadway, and he and some citizens extin-
pushed the blaze with buckets Of water.
1t is thought the fire was started by some
one throwing a lighted cigar between the
planks and that this ignited a mass of
rubbish beneath the structure.
Cornelius Sturtevant of Hillsdale was
