.~ THE ANAcosTIA STRIKE.
No New Nov oveme1its-Denfai Regarding
Reported Loan.

There Is no change today in the strike
side holding out with apparently as much
determination to exhaust the resources and
fortitude of the other as when the struggle
began. The coaches continue to be iber-
ally patron!zed, and great care is given by
men who are detailed for the purpose to
see that they are run on time and that NO
disorderlyo characters are allowed on board
to annoy the lady patrons or any other
peaceable citizens. At this time no one can
be found who has the nerve" to venture
prediction as to when the strike will end.
and the travelling public of Anacostia seems
to have settled down to the belief that the
present passenger traffic facilities have
come to stay for a good while.
The lawn party for the benefit Of the
striking employees of the Anacostsa Rail-
road Company, which, as already men,
toned in The Star, Is to be held under the
| auspices Of some of the leading citizens of
Anacostia on the grounds of Mr.. W. Mar
den King Friday night. promises to be a
enthusiastic among its promoters at first
hoped for.

Riggs & Co. today made the following
statement: ''The statement that a loan of
100000 was made in March last to the
Anacostia Railway Company through or
by us is without foundation In fact, and
we would be pleased If you would SO

A Rumored Purchase.
There was story abroad this morning
that preliminary steps have been taken to
form a syndicate which has for its object
the purchase of controlling interest in
the Anacostla Railroad Company, and
winch. II consummated. will place the man

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
Fire Escape Law.

As briefly outlined in The Star Of yester-
day, the attorney for the District has ad-
vised the Commissioners against any COM
promise with the Representatives Of Will
lard's Hotel on the fire escape question.
The Commissioners said today that 1t
seemed to be the impression that the law
relating to the erection of fire escapes was
imperative. This was a mistake There
was ample law, and it would be enforced
when the time came. There was the pro-
vision that no license could be granted a
hotel which did not comply with the law.
This was mandatory, and the Commits
sioners had no discretion. So it would seem
that unless the hotels put up fire escapes
they could not obtain license.
Yesterday at noon bids were opened for
ting a fire escape upon Wizards Ho-
tel, in case the owners refused to erect
ore, the cost of which was to be assessed
against the property. Only one bid was
Burns. and his price for the work was
$1,S50.

costing $1,000, will be provided for In the
new hospital 1t Is expected that the hos
pital will be ready for occupancy by the
1st of November.

pointed Mr. John C. Howard inspector and

William A. Monk of Clinton, was in the
city, yesterday. He informed the Journal
that there was very serious forest fire
burning in the northeast part of Benton,
which started on the land Of W. Pulsifer.
Over 800 acres have been burned over. and
though over so men were fighting the
flames, Tuesday, they could make no head
way in checking them. The land burned
over is woodland and pasture and the
damage to forest growth and lumber has
been very great. He says that there is a
very large fire in Unity plantation be-
tween the line of the Wiscasset & Quebec
Road and the Belfast branch of the Maine
Central. The front of this fire is some
five or six miles long and a large amount
OF valuable timber has been burned. In
one growth in particular, where there were
many large pine trees, some of which
were suitable for shipment and worth
from 800 to $500 each. the fire has
destroyed almost everything in it's course.
