ANACOSTIA.

That there is an apparent discrimina-
ton in the matter of making repairs to
the streets and roads Of Congress
Heights and those in the northwestern
portion of the city is the opinion of sew
eral members of the Public Improvement
Association, of that place, and the mat
ter will be presented to the Commission
ers in an endeavor to ascertain the cause
for this condition. The association, for
long time, has been endeavoring to
secure a small amount of money to be
used on the roads here, but each time
has been advised that no money was
available, and that it could not be ap-
propriated from any other appropriation.
The fact now becomes known that about
seven miles of roads in Rock Creek Park
are going to be repaired. and that the
money for this work will be secured
from other appropriations These latter
roads are in the same class as the roads
at Congress Heights, and the citizens
feel that a small amount should be ex-
pended in this direction.
Mrs. Rachel A. Tilghman and daugh-
ter Rachel, of Chester street, AnacOstia-
have gone to st. Ignatius, Mont, where
they will make their future home with
Mrs Lemuel Fugitt, formerly Miss Leah
Tilghman, of Anacostia. Mr.. Fugitt is
connected with the United States govern
ment at that place.
The second open air service under the
auspices of the united churches Of Ana
costa will be held this afternoon on the
Christie lawns when the Rev. Charles
F. Sontag, rector of the Esther Memorial
Episcopal Chapel at Congress Heights,
will be the speaker. On Sunday after
noon next the Rev. George NJ. Cummings
will speak, and on the following Sun
day. Rev. Samuel W. Graffiin will speak.
These meetings are for men.
Much activity has been noted in real
estate in Anacostia during the past week.
Oscar c. Brothers, jr., who has had sub
divided the Christie estate, reports many
sales of lots during the week, and al
ready plans for houses are being pre-
pared. Edwin o. Linger has completed
the erection of a modern residence on
Good Hope Road and will occupy same.
William n. King is having erected a
home on Mount View Place, which will
be occupied by him this winter. Mrs.
Brauman's home on Maple View Place

time and for a while there was a near
panic. The boat backed to the far west
side Of the harbor.
At as o'clock this morning the vessel
was pught up to the wharf after it was
thought the flames were extinguished.
ahe heat scorched the dry timbers of
the wharf. Part of the dock and the
roofing suffered considerable damage.
The fire department and fire boat play
ed constant streams of water over the
vessel until after o'clock this morning.
The River Queen has been the best
known river boat in Washington ever
since it was built in 1864. 1t is said that
in that year she was used as special
yacht by President Lincoln on his trips to
Richmond, Norfolk. and other points.
While the River queen was burning at
the waters edge a huge crowd rushed
down Seventh street and closed in upon
the weird spectacle. The police tried in
vain to break the congestion. The pUll-
ing, pushing, tugging, fighting mob was
under the spell of the flames, and seemed
almost on the brink Of holding mid
night carnival and celebration over the
doomed vessel.
Crowd Packed "a Scene.
Cabs. automobiles, and all sorts of We
hicIes ratified over the cobblestones and
were jammed and pinned hopelessly
within the crowds Fights broke out,
wild cries and whoops filled the air, and
the police had no alternative but TO let
the riot continue while the steamer
burned,
The whistling of the fire tug. the
.belching engines feeding the nozzles, the
shouts OF the crowd, and the honking Of
motors made as wild and dellrious a
scene as the river front has seen in many
a night.
The police made only one arrest, Lewis
Banks, Of 1900 Georgia avenue. being
taken to the station for disorderly con-
duct.
