The BR0AD-STREET QUESrlON.-A meeting
of the Council committee on the Broad
Street question was held at the Council
chamber yesterday afternoon. The meeting
was held to give hearing to the Executive
Committee Of the Broad Street Association,
an organization formed for the purpose of
securing the removal of the railroad from
said street. Hon. james Lyons, president of
the Broad-Street Association, addressed the
committee at some length, presenting in
strong terms the grievances of the residents
of Broad street and insisting that it was the
duty of the Council to abate this "oppres-
sive and iutolerabe nuisance" He closed
his remarks by submitting TO the committee
for their adoption series Of resolutions
asserting the right and the duty of the
Council to require the railroad company to
remove the tracks within sixty days.
I'm the course of the proceedings it was
stated that Mr.. George Bargamin, chairman
of the Council committee. had addressed Il
letter to Mr.. John NJ. Robinson, president
of The Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac RAILROAD Company, requesting him to
state specifically at what price the company
| would sell all or any part of their depot pro-
perty on Broad and Eigth streets-the sale,
if effected, to involve the removal OF the
track from Broad street. To this application
Mr.. Barsamin had received a reply TO the
effect that the company would remove
their machine-shops and engine-houses
at once to Bouton, near the Fair Grounds,
if the city would pay the cost .ol
erecting suitable buildings at that
point and the expense of removal, and
should the city be willing to provide ac-
commodations elsewhere which the company
would consider as advantageous to hem and
in which the City Council and Legislature o1
the State would assure to the company the
same rights which they have on their pre-.
sent location, he (Mr. Robnson) bad no
doubt that the railroad company would re-
liDquish their present location even as a
der0t.'
After colloquy on some of the points re-
ferred 10 by Mr.. Lyous, the members of the
Broad-Strcet Association withdrew. The
Council committee then held short private
session; resulting in the adoption Of reso-
luton calling upon the city attorney,
Colonel Leigh X. Page, for bis opinion an
,rriting on the legal questions presented.
The announcement WAS made that the
Executive Committee Of the Broad'Street
Association would meet at Mr.. Iyons's
office on Tuesday next 1t ! o'clock p. n.

Curious Fact.

We clip the following from O late
number Of the Scientific Journal:
The creeping of rails has attracted
some attention of late, and while we do
not attempt to explain it, we offer a
point on the fact, that on lines run
ming north and south, the western rail
''creeps' faster than the eastern rail.
That is, this strange movement of the
rail towards the south is more marked
in one rail than the other on the same
track. Furthermore, it has been no.
ticed that on such line the eartern
rail wears out the fastest. Both of
these points, we think, can be explained
by the motion of the earth as it turns
from the west towards the east. Motion
tends to overcome gravitation. A rapid
skater flies over the thin ice without
breaking through, and train at high
speed has been known to leap a broken
bridge unframed. Momentum over
comes gravitation, and the greater the
speed the less the light on the rails.
Everything that has free motion is
, dragged after the whirllng globe every
wind that blows, and every tide that
moves feels the influence, and our train
going north or south is pulled over
toward the east and naturally presses
the eastern rail most heavily. The
western rail, being relieved of its share
of weight, creeps more freely and
quickly. II is also noticed that the
wheels that run on the eastern rail
wear out first, and we can but think
that this earth motion is tie true
cause. The practical side of this is,
that the eastern rail and wheels should

The NeSuuellOnins Tunnel.

The completion Of the Nesquehoning
tunnel, near Mauch Chunk, admitting
the. cars of the Susquehanna Railroad
through mountain into the valley Of
Panther Greek, from where the tunnels
and drifts ofthe Lehigh Coal and Navi-
cation Company dlvelge into the sides
of the neighboring anthracite noun
tains, has put an end to one Of the
finest pieces Of engineering which this
country has produced. The coal will
now be shipped through the tunnel
instead of over tho gravity roads here
tofore in use, which, by means OF planes
and heavy grades, traversed some
twenty five miles of territory, over
mountain top and through valley, and
vas by fur the most romantic and in
tercsting railroad journey in this coun-
try. This WIS the first railway Of any
Importance built in this country
three-foot guage-but has never had a
locomotive on it. It was here that the
first rcciprocative-incline railways in
this country were constructed, and, in
short, where the coal discoveries were
first made, and from whence the first
shipments Of coal took place.
