Mrs. Agnew's Presence on Street With
William RORersOn,


Policemen Cochran and Sears left the first
precinct station yesterday at o'clock and
were on their way to take their beats when
they were attracted to 9th and D streets
by seeing disorderly crowd on the corner
They found Clarence NJ. Agnew and Bertha
Agnew, his wife, and William Rogerson en-
gagged in quarrel. The men had come to
blows and the officers arrested them before
any serious harm had been done. Mrs
Agnew was also arrested.
When the police station was reached the
officers took from Rogerson's overcoat
pocket garment belonging to Mrs Agnew,
which the latter readily accepted. Mrs.
Agnew had S. and this she left as collat-
eral. Later the men left So each and we're
released
The Agnews gave their residence as No
II E street northwest while Rogerson said
he lived on A street northeast between 9th
and 7th streets. Mr.. Agnew formerly lived
in Pennsylvania, but has resided in this
city for several years. He is member of
the bar and was at one time department
clerk. Rogerson now holds a government
position.
The explanation of the affair made to the
police was that Rogerson was with Mrs
Agnew during the afternoon, and Just be-
fore the trouble Rogerson left her and went
into a store When he came out he found
the woman's husband with her Not being
acquainted with the husband Rogerson dis
puted the latter's right to be with her.
This provoked the fight, which resulted in
the arrests.
The defendants failed to respond in the
Police Court this morning to answer a
charge of disorderly conduct and their
collaterals We're forfeited.

ANACOsTIA HAPPENINGS.

OF POlicemcn-GeneraI News.

The District appropriation bill, as passed
by Congress. contains items as follows:
Five thousand dollars for continuing the
concreting of Harrison street; S30,sb for a
school building for colored pupils on Mich
OILS avenue, and $3.50 yearly rent for a police
station in Anacosta. The sum OF Sl0ol0
was previously appropriated for the COM
M nceEnent of the Improvement of Harrison
street from the Anacostia bridge cas- ward.
but the work has not yet been started,
though the Commissioners give assurances
1t will be this spring. With the additional
sum named, it is thought the Improvement
can be extended as far as Adams street.
The colored section has long needed ad-
ditional school facilities. The apDropril-
ton for school building is for a moiern
structure in place of the one of frame how
occupied on a disagreeable site On Nichols
avenue.
Negotiations have been going on for sev-
eral months looking to the renting of a
building suitable for station house, and
the authorities have received plans from
persons who offered to alter their buildings
for such a purpose, but nothing definite Is
decided upon yet. The Improvement of
Nichols avenue. for which a considerable
sum was named, is also to be started soon.
Residents of Twining City were confident
the item allowing SIS, 400 for a public school
building and site there would be permitted
to stand, and great disappointment is ex-
pressed over its failure.
Policeman Charles Osterman has been
transferred from the fifth precinct station
TO the Anacostfa station, and has been as
signed by Sargt. Anderson for duty q; Con-
gress Heights, filling the vacancy caused
by the transfer Of Policeman w. Il. Owens.
Policeman Morgan. who was also trans
ferred from the fifth precinct, has been as
signed to the colored section, or Stanton
town beat, in place of Policeman Latch
ford, transferred. Policeman Stahl who
has been doing temporary day duty in tire
station, has returned to street duty again.
Policeman r. E. Dyer is kept from duty On
account of the presencs I'm his family OF
scarlet fever.
The water In the public pump on Jefferson
street between Monroe and Fillmore streets,
which heretofore has been largely used,
being considered excellent in quality, has
suddenly become nauseating, and Is thereby
rendered useless. An inquiry into the cause
Is solicited by residents, who have Eeen
using the water extensively, and now arc
put to great Inconvenience.
The five sick children in the family Of
Mr.. Richard Liston. residing near Congress

Capt. III. c. Fisher Remembered h
Twenty-First Infantry

A former Washington High School boy,

officer in the army, was recently honered
in most substantial manner by the men of
the 21st United States Infantry, stationed
at Plattsburg barracks, New York. Cap
tain Fisher is the surgeon of the 2Ist Regi-
ment and performed heroic work among
the sick and wounded during the trying
days of the siege and following the sur
render Of Santiago. The men of the reei-
ment showed their appreciation of the sur
geon's efforts in their behalf by presenting
him with handsome and costly silver
service. The remarks accompanying the
gift were made by the regfmental quarter
master sergeant in the presence of the
entire command. including the officers and
ladies of the post. In response the surgeon
declared that he had done no more than
his duty, and added that the credit for
the hospital work during the Cuban cam
paign should be given the hospital corps
and the members of the band detailed for
hospital work.
Captain Fisher was member of the
class OF 'S6, Washington High Scheol, and
has hosts Of friends in this city.

There were practically charges to cOnstrnc-

The extraordinary expenditure thereon was mainly
in the construction Of the second track between

the connection with the West Jersey and Seashore

purchase Of additional right Of and real estate
