1853 dwellings consumption was found there being
in three years Sal cases. The doctor says:
Many of these houses had had one or more cases
every year for three consecutive years. some of
them having had many as eight to eleven cases
during this period.
Several houses in which one or more cases Of
tuberculosis have been reported in the last three
years have had deaths from the same disease in
them for eight or nine years. viz five houses in
which twenty-five cases have been reported since
1888 have had thirty-six deaths from tuberculosis
from 1888 to 1898 inclusive
Such houses would seem to be permanently in

ANACosTIA HAPPENINGS.
UnfOunded Rumor Concerning Ma
sonic Haii-Other Matters.

The condition of the building in Anacostia
known as Masonic Hall, a large three-story
brick with basement has been causing con-
siderable comment lately, some going so
far as to state that, in their opinion, the
structure was unsafe. Those in charge of
the hall ordered certain repairs to be COM
menced few Gays ago, which were car
ried on quietly, doubtless in order that no
one might be needlessly alarmed Some
person meanwhile it is understood wrote
an anonymous letter to the building in
spector In regard to the work going on, as
well as about the alleged condition of the
building. Late yesterday representative
OF the building inspectors office made an
investigation of the work and of the build
ing and gave il as his opinion it is stated
that the work done in a hrst-class
manner and that the building is perfectly
this effect.
Report was made to the Anaeostia police
station that an eight-year-old girl named
clark. child OF q white family on Good Hope
road, had died yesterday morning without
medical attention, after an illness of five
Gays, and that to all appearances diphtheria
was the cause. Coroner Carr was notified
ana made an investigation. 1t is said he
became satisfied thai death resulted from a
mild form of diphtheria, but further in
vestigafion is being now made In order to
take precautionary measures against con-
tagfon. A physician was summoned yester-
day, It seems, but too late.

Change in Method of Operating Two

foreshadowing the early removal of the

No reason has. so far be learned,

out this morning the new mode of operating
the cars there was great dissatisfaction eX-
pressed Instead of riding to the navy yard
gate on fast lire, and being transferred
TO the cars of the Capital Traction Com
pany, they were obliged to board the slow
moving horse cars walk to the navy
yard, for under the system begun today no
transfers are issued by the Anacostia road
to the Capital Traction cars.
A delegation of Hillsdale citizens called

Verdict of Not Guilty.

Samuel Cook and Kate Cook, young white
persons were placed on trial yesterday be-
fore Judge Cole and jury in Criminal
Court No. /, under an indictment charging
incest. 1t was alleged that the defendants.
who are brother and sister, lived together
for some months as man and wife. and were
so living at the time of their arrest, last
month. The further charge was made that
the brother is the father of his sisters
child. Several witnesses testified that the
defendants occupied the same room.
Emphatic denial Of the allegations Were
made by the defendants. They occupied the
same room, they declared, by reason of
poverty. The father of the child SO its
mother testified, is man whose name she
divulged to the jury.
After brief elaboration the jury late
yesterday afternoon returned a verdict of
not guilty.
