But Mrs Foster did worry. She Wor-

She worried about her husband, even
though her native common sense told:
her it was not likely SO strong COM
mand as his company would meet with
Apaches that night. II "a pacnes were

she retired to her own room she could

But she worried even less than her
friend the ma or, who found himself too
uneasy to lie down at all. idding
good night to the three officers, he had !
gone to his quarters, and as he took a
final look out over the silent and shad-
owy prairie, thanked goodness Mrs.

way just now, and when women and
children will ask questions that are
hard to answer, especially Of q post

and Muncey and Manuel Cardozal' said
he, and especially Mrs. Downey!
What on earth did she get sick for and
have that boy risling his young life to
fetch her a camphor julep at three
o'clock in the morning?" He wished he
had sent sergeant and ten men back
with him, for. if Apaches really were
in the Sandy valley, Crane might need
reinforcements, anyhow, only he hated
to trout out" men and horses in that
heathenish way long after midnight,
If anything should go wrong with
Leon, how his old friend Cullen would
blame him. He looked at his watch
only little after two--a whole hour
TO wait before he could hear Of the
boys safe return, but surely something
should be heard from Foster. It
couldn't take his scouriers two hours to
ride back in the night from Ration

upon the parade, he noted that only in
one or two of the windows were the
night lights still burning. Earlier in
the night signal fires could be seen, far
over the southeast in the Sierra Anoha,
but they had dwindled away. Every
thing about the garrison seemed to
speak of calm and security, yet, along

COmDar isOn of Cremation and Reduce
ton Methods to BE Undertaken.

Comparison of Cremation and Reduce
ton Methods to BE Undertaken.
There is every reason to believe that the
Commissioners will not insist upon crema-
tior as the method of disposing of the gar
bage of the city under the new contract
1t will be recalled that the health officer
was dispatched to Atlanta, Ga, several
days ago to inspect one of the Dixon
crematories, which was urged as the best
system on the market. He was accompa-
MED by a representative of the contractor
and the two made careful inspection of
the plant before the managers of the con-
Germ knew they were in the city. They
were not pleased with the result, and re-
turned to the city this morning with the
idea well fixed in their minds that the
Dixon crematory was a problem yet I'M
solved far disposing of garbage was
concerned. This was due to the peculiar
regulations in force in Atlanta. There all
combustible material is allowed to be de-
posted with the garbage, and all liquid
garbage is permitted to be emptied into
the sewers. There averages but ~ per cent
of pure garbage In every cart load brought
to the crematory, so the test was not prac-
teal.
During the week, perhaps tomorrow
these gentlemen will leave for Wilmington
and Philadelphia, for the purpose of in
speeding other systems of cremat ton and
several reduction plants. The new con-
tractor now believes that reduction of the
garbage is not only the most sanitary and
economical to the city, but more satisfac-
tory to the residents in the immediate
vicinity. The contractor has made prop
ositon to the Commissioners, which seems
fair. He proposes to erect at his own ex-
pense cremation plant to be decided upon
by the Commissioners, and a reduction
plant. Each one is to be operated a certain
length of time, until the Commissioners are
assured which is the most satisfactory, and
then it will be formally adopted. Mr..
Joshua Warfeld the new contractor, stated
to reporter of The Star this morning that
it was not yet decided whether the contract
entered into between the District and his
brother would be merged into the one re-
Gently granted to him. In case 1t was de-
cided to do that, preparations would be i'm
mediately begun for the erection of the
plant decided upon by the Commissioners
for disposing Of the garbage.

TIE-UP PROBABLE.
Expected Trouble on the Anacostin
Railroad.

Expected Trouble on the AnacOstfn
RailrOad.
Despite the efforts made by interested
parties to convey the impression that there
was to be no meeting of the employees of
the Anacostia Railroad Company in refer
nece to the wage question, as was stated
in The Star would be the case, the meeting
was held Saturday night behind closed
doors at Haines' Hall, Anacostia. The ses-
sion lasted from 10 o'clock until II, and the
proceedings were conducted with the ut
most secrecy, and those present were
pledged to divulge nothing in reference to
what had transpired or what action 1t is
cor templated to take by them or the union
Notwithstanding these precautions, enough
is known to Justify the assertion that the
relations between the employees of the rail-
road company-for most of the stablemen
are. like the drivers, members of the Street
Railway Protective Union of Washington
and the latter have become strained to
their utmost tension, and at this time it
looks as though only the exercise of the
most skillful diplomacy will prevent a
speedy tie-up of the road for an indefinite
period.
1t is understood that tomorrow morning
a committee from the Railway Union and
the employees of the line will wait on Presi-
dent Griswold and ask him to increase the
wages of the drivers to sl.50 per day and
advance the pay of the stablemen to cor
responding proportion. Those who are
most directly concerned in the matter say
that they have not the slightest nXpecta
ton that the request will be granted by
Mr.. Griswod and that there will be only
one course left for the union to do-order 4
strike.
When the tie-up of several months ago
occurred the men on the Anacostia line
were practically without organization. and
the funds of the union had become deples ed
to considerable extent by reason of the
substantial aid extended to those who took
part in the great strike in Brooklyn, n. Y.
some time before: but at this time a much
different state of affairs exists, the Ana
costa drivers being under the actual pro-
lection of the Railway Union, while the
treasury of the latter is in a healthy condi-
ton and able to stand any ordinary drain
upon it. The railway men also ella i'm that
the sympathy of the public will be with the
drivers of the Anacostia line should tie
up occur, as now seems altogether prob
able.

AN ATTEMPTED SHOOTING.
1t Arose Over an Alleged Game q,
Crap.

1t Arose Over an Alleged Game of
Crnp.
A big colored man named William Snow
this morning, and the charge against him
was one of having attempted to kill another
colored man named Henry Chapman 1t is
charged that Snowden shot at Chapman
Saturday afternoon, and the latter at
tributes bad craftsmanship on part of
Snowden as the only reason why he is not
now the occupant of a coffin. The trouble
occurred over game of craps. A party of
colored men We're engaged in the game
so 1t is said, and because of the war be-
ing made on 'crap-shooters'' by the police
the men did not put their money On the
ground, but trusted to luck. When the
particular winning pass" had been made
Snowden called for his fifty cents so 1t is
claimed, but Chapman did not produce the
money.
charged, Snowden drew a pistol from his
pocket and fired. The bullet did not take
effect. but the report of the shot attracted
a large crowd and created some excite
ment.
Policemen Russell and English were soon
on hand, and they went out to make an
investigation. They We're told that Snow
den had fired the shot, and had fed in the
direction of the White House. The officers
learned from another man that Snowden
had secreted the pistol in the grass near a
post on Executive avenue and there it was
found by the officers. Later in the evening
they arrested the alleged owner and user
of the weapon, and he protested his inno-
cence. Several witnesses were found by
the officers who say they witnessed the
shooting. The case will be heard in the
Police Court this week.
