IN WINTER QUARTERS.
From our old camp at Brandy Station,
we continued our march until we reached
the Rappahannock, where rumors were rife
that the campaign was ended, and the
army going into Winter quarters. This,
the reader will believe, was welcome in
telligence to US all, after our weeks of
marching, freezing, and fighting. Our de-
pleted columns surely needed reinforcing,
and our exhausted soldiers were in great
need of rest; so, when we crossed the
Rappahannock, and learned that the Sec

from the army and sent to Bealton Sta

OPENING OF A ROAD,
Petition of Citizens Respectin1
ThOrOuEhfare in Anacoxtia


ThorOughfare I'm AnacOxtia.
Jerome Diggs, T. j. Moore and others
have petitioned the District Commissioners
TO include an item IN their estimates to
Congress providing for the opening of Nor
rfs road from Nichols avenue to Hamilton
road, Anacostia. Reporting on the matter
to the Commissioners w. P. Richards, the
assistant engineer In charge of street cx-
tension, states that Morris road at one
time connected Hamilton road with Nichols
avenue, but it has always been a very
crooked route, and the road has usually
been in an impossible condition. Continu-
ing. he says:
On account OF its poor Typographical
situation 1t was abandoned in great part
by street extension plans of the fourth Sec
tion,- and was only retained from Nichols
avenue to 18th street. This portion of the
road is orSly 33 feet wide, and it is Intended
to be widened to 80 feet. One connection
now laid down between Nichols avenue ard
Hamilton road is by way Of Morris road
18th street and Stanton avenue A better
connection, however. can be found by way
of Sheridan avenue and Stanton avenue the
grades being much more favorable over the
latter route than over the former Any
improvement to be made ON Morris road
can only be very local in character

NEW YORK. October s.-There was a

The fair green and putting greens were in
excellent condition and from every stand
point the outlook for first class week of
excellent golfing- was most promising A
few changes had been made in the playing
length of the links so as to obviate the in
reference OIL hazards and bunkers in the
drives of the contestants. Some of the tees
had been moved forward a few yards, which
shortened the course by 16O yards.
Play began at 8 o'clock with Miss Eliza
beth S. Porter of Oakley, Mass, Country
Club and Miss Florence B. Naylor of the
Philadelphia Cricket Club. Both made fair
ly straight drives, getting good distance
and were enthusiastically applauded by a
large gallery which surrounded the first tee,
Miss Emily A. Lockwood of Lexington,
Mass, made one of the best drives of the
morning She drove a straight bali which
went fully 100 yards and landed in a nice
position for an iron shot, which she easily
negotiated.
Miss Margaret Curtis of the Essex
County, Mass. Club drove a ball from the
first tee which landed nearly 200 yards
away in close proximity to the bunker

bounds and had to play second from the
tee.
Miss Frances c. Griscom, the present
champion, acquitted herself most credit
ably Her drive was perfectly straight, and
she got good distance on it, the ball rolling
within few feet of the bunker. Her part

not so fortunate In her first strike but she
made up for this on her second getting

PUBLIC SCHOOLS CLOSED.
Five Buildings Not Yet Provided
With Heating Apparatus

WIN heating Apparatus.
Five public school buildings were closed
this morning by order Of Superintendent A.
T. Stuart because of the fact that the new
boilers in course of installation at the sew
eral structures were not in condition to
heat the rooms where the children would
be employed at their studies. 1t is not
deemed to be prudent to permit the chill
dren to occupy rooms which are not prop
erly. heated, in the present state of the
weather. The schools closed were the
Force, the Henry, the Garnett, the Stevens
and the Peabody. Just how long they will
remain closed is a matter of conjecture at
present. The contract for the installation
of the new boilers calls for the completion
OF the work by November l, and it is not
probable that the contractors will finish
before the full specified time.
The Commissioners were at first inclined
10 pelleVe that the contractors were tardy
IN their labors, but 1t is understood they
are within the time limit by a safe mar
gin.
Last summer an inspection of the boilers
in the school buildings of the District de-
veloped the necessity of new boilers in the
nve buildings mentioned. The contracts
We're forthwith entered into, and it is un-
derstood that the date of completion. No
Vember 1, was agreed upon by the Com
miss1onerS and the contractors after a con-
sultation with the board of education
The present protracted cool spell was not
contemplated at that time. and it is said
that it Is rare that the furnace fires in the
schools are lighted before the last of Oc-
tober.
arrangement by which portable boilers NAV
be used temporarily at the schools. Not
much heat is required, and it is believed
the temporary boilers would suffice to re-
move the early morning chill from the
rooms and make them comfortable and sale.
Unless this arrangement can be made. or
unless the weather warns up considerably,
the schools may continue closed until No
vember 1. Meantime the contractors will
be urged to finish their work earlier if If he
possible to do so.
