FIRE SPREADS RAPIDLY.
But Firemen Soon Check Blaze in
Paint Store.

Fire in the paint store Of j. w. Hunt
& Co., 1915 H street northwest, last
night, shortly after o'clock. caused
about $500 damage. F'iremen and po-
licemen made an investigation, but were
unable to determine the origin Of the
blaze.
The fire was discovered by a negro who
happened to be passing. and it was due
to his quick action in getting out the
fire department the building was saved.
Because of the quantities of inflam-
mable material in the store the blaze
spread with rapidity, and when Chief
Wagner and Battalion Chief Sullivan
reached the sept 1t appeared as II the
building was doomed.
Firemen soon had several streams of
water at work. and the blaze was under
control in a few minutes The FIRE is
supposed to have started under the stair
way on the first floor. Members of the
firm reached the store before the fire had
been fully extinguished. They said the
stock was insured.

ANACOSTIA.

The indications are that the open-air
Sunday afternoon services for men
which were successfully conducted the
past two years under the auspices of the
united churches of Anacostia will not be
held this year. The matter is in the hands
of the different mems organizations Of
the churches but no definite action has
been taken. The inability to locate con-
venient grounds for these services prooa-
bly, has been the chief reason for the
failure to arrange them this year.
The regular meeting Of the Anaccstia
Citizens Association was not held last
evening, the members of the body feeling
that there is nothing of sufficient impor-
fance to be discussed now. There are
several committees at work on important
matters, including the baggage and ex-
press proposition and also the matter
of having the railway company place its
power under ground on the approach to
the bridge and along Nichols avenue
In a short time a committee Of citizens
will call on the Engineer Commissioner
and present this last matter. with the
hope that it will be ordered at an early
date.
