ground here during the day, aud that
night both armies bivouacked upon the
field The battle was renewed the next
day, but Grant failed to force the Con-
federate position.
The fighting during these two days was
carried on III the thickly wooded region,
in which the artillery Of, the two armies
could not be used to any advantage. On
the following day the Confederates suf-
fered a great loss in the person OF Cen
eral Longstreet, who was severely
wounded Tho losses In killed and
wounded were very heavy on both sides,
as the fighting was of desperate char
actef.
1T Is stated that at the battle Of the
Wilderness, which was fought May 9th
to 18th, 1854, the Union loss was 31.737;
Confederate loss was 11,400. The Union
loss at the battle of the Wilderness Is
the largest Of any battle in this bloody
section. At the battle of Fredericksburg
the Union loss was 1850; Confederate
loss, was 4,576, At charlottesville the
Union loss was 5000, Confederate loss
was l2osl At Spotsylvanla Courthouse
the Union loss was 26,4bl, Confederate
loss was 5000 OF the aggregate ], 29l ,sSi

these figures the battle OF the Wilderness
suffered the greater loss Of any In the
list.

made of more when they should be

BROKE NEW GROUND
IN EAST WASHINGTON
Residents of Heights Found Everything to Do, and Have
Done Much-Still Hard at Work

} Der TO- 1900 resolutions were adopted
looking to the extension OF the water
service. the extension of gas street
lamp service on the Bowen Road. and
an electric naphtha lamp service along
Pennsylvania Avenue and the Bowen
Road.
The extension OF the gas street lamps
TO the Suitland Road soon followed;
then a gas main was laid and street
lights furnished on Pennsylvania Avenue
and Branch Avenue, and finally a naph-
tina lamp service was installed to the
District line on the Walker and Suitland
roads and along the Bowen Road as far
as Ridge Road. Now we are enjoying
a street lighting service as good as any
other portion of the Capital City.
To the credit of the committee on po-
lice. water, fire and lights. we have an
increase of police at the Anaccstia sub
station and additional policemen at Good
Hope and along the heights; a much
needed patrol wagon at the Anacostia
substation. and police patrol boxes at
Good Hope and the intersection of the
Suitland and Bowen Roads.
The latter. in addition to use by the
police, are at the service of the public
in case Of sickness or death, and have
been used several times in such emer-
gencies TO summon physicians and I'M
dertakers.

penses should not be deferred ana Grip
pied by reason OF the extraordinary i'm
provements.
Since the first year oflits existence IL
has persistently urged improved street
car service and insisted that there
should be a crosstown road connecting
the eastern and westerns sections of the
city at northerly point; and Of the
street railway bills now pending Il has
urged the extension OF the Capital Trac-
ton lines from Seventh and u Streets
along Florida Avenue to Eighth Street
east. and thence south to connect with
its existing Pennsylvania Avenue line
and its branch extending to the navy
yard. 1t has insisted that this is the
natural route for such line, and will
serve a greater number OF people than
will any other route. contend1ng that M
Street is too far south and too near the
other car lines TO best serve the public
needs.

dergarten. Efforts have been made for
two successive years for the establish
ment CT such a school. Two years ago
we accompanied our request with the
orer Of a room. but our request was
not granted. Last year we could not
md any room suitable and we fear
that the same viii be the case next
year Yet we nave been assured that
only the lack of a proper room will pre-
vent our getting a kindergarten next fall
Stiil our people have not been entirely
without this grade of school for those
who care TO pay for the benefits, for
there has been a private kindergarten
In the park for three years.
We have been agitating the matter Of
a school building for several years, for
while the new buildings at Takoma and
at Petworth have drawn from the
Brightwood school. the latter will be
oVercrowG'ed by the time that a new
building can be erected in our section.
While heartily in favor Of a compulsory
law. IL is difficult TO see how the District
could accommodate 5000 more pupils
than il now has in its schools (this
being the number estimated Of a school
age, but not in school, when it cannot
provide for those who want to attend.
1t is a surprising fact that more than
one-third of the schools in the District
are halliday schools.
