But ONE AT A TIME,
Order Regulating the Passing of Car.
Over Anacoatfa Bridxe


An order has been issued by the Wash
ington Traction Company to the employees
OF the Anacostia electric line that but one
car of the line may cross the Anacostia
bridge at a time, excepting when the cars
are on the same track, when they may fol-
low at stated distances, no cars being al
lowed on the other track on the bridge at
the same time. 1t is the general under
standing that the Instructions concerning
the manner in which the cars must cross
the bridge were given the officials of the
company from the Commissioners Office.
A similar order was made by the Commits
sioners in the case of the Capital Railway
Company about two years ago, when a
controversy was in progress concerning the
stability of the Anacostia bridge An enei-
ueer of the company reported on the
strength Of the bridge. giving 1t as his
opinion that the structure was strong and
perfectly safe for the operation of cars
without regulating the number that might
be permitted to cross 1t at one time No
change was made in the order. however
These cars referred to weighed close to
seven tons each. while the ones in use now
weigh about double as much.
Since the Washington Traction COMPANY
has been operating the cars by its electric
system there have at times been as MANY
as Ave cars well punched on the two tracks
CT ossing the bridge, and no weakness Of
the structure mas been noticeable in the
least degree under this circumstance. The
railroad company, in order to avoid della va
to the street car patrons has directed that
In the forenoon the cars bound for the CITY
shall have the right of way on the hridy.s
and that In the afternoon the cars going
toward Anacostia shall be preferred.

PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE.
Cleveland Park Resfdents..P ressinl
Their Claim for Engine.


The District Commissioners have been
asked by the people of Cleveland Park to
provide them with better protection against
| fire. The destruction of property there Sat
urday afternoon evidenced the necessity for
additional means of protection the steam
ire engine which responded to the alarm
being practically useless because of the
TACT that the nearest plug was too far dis
tant to permit the company to reach the
burning building with its hose. Then, by
the time the chemical engine from Bright
wood reached the scene, the house was de-
stroyed.
The people residing in Cleveland Park
have assured the Commissioners that if a
small chemical engine can be provided
they will erect a house, for it, organize a
volunteer fire brigade to work it. and also
provide a horse to pull it, IL necessary

Bachelor on his famous expedition from
San Nicholas TO Apparri. through the heart
of northern LuZon. During this expedition
the little company was in many tight places
and had many fights with the enemy. The
official report Of Captain Bachelor of his
trip reads like a novel and tells in an in
teresting way of the many dangers en-
c0untered. In this report special mention
is made of Surgeon Heller, Captain Batch
