HOW II WAS EFTEcTHD By THE GEoRcE's CREHK
RAILRoAD-THE YiRsT CARS WITH coal. FOR
THE CANAL.
The contest over the crossing Of the Baltimore
and Ohio tracks by the Georges Creek and
Cumberland road was ended yesterday. as
briefly announced In The STAR. Cumberland
was in a state ofexcitement all day Sunday, az
it was expected that the approaching crisis
would be attended with riotous proceedings.
The officials of the Georges Creek road are
quoted as having announced Sunday that peace
able measures having been exhausted, they had
decided to resort to force. Preparations that
were oeing made, evidently for the purpose of
executing 1Orclble measures, were interrupted
about eight O'Clock Sunday evening by the re-
cept OF telegram by Mr. Loveridge president
OF the Georges Creek road, from Mr.. Robert
Garrett, vice president of the Baltimore and
ONO road, stating that the crossing would be
put in the next day (Monday), orders to that
effect having been issued to the proper persons
Mr. Garrett, it is said was on his way from
Berkely Springs to Baltimore when appraised
at the Relay House that the new COM
panles were making demonstration involving
force. Yesterday morning great activity was
manifest at the disputed point, ard as soon as
the crossing was laid it was tried and found to
work admirably. The first train stopped was
drawn by engine 274 with fifty coal cars, which
arrived from the west at the viaduct about IL
O'Clock and was delayed only few minutes. AS
soon as the crossing was placed in position. the
work being witnessed by an immense crowd in
Guiding many officials of the several railroad
companies, workmen commenced making pre-
IaratiOns to put in connection at Polk street.
which was completed in the afternoon. About
one hundred and fifty miners were present when
the work commenced, and about noon two hun
dred more with a band Of music, arrived. They
were disappointed over the canceing of an eX-
cursOn train by President Loveridge which
was done to prevent any disturbance, and paid
their fare, and were determined to have good
time generally, yesterday being holiday in an
ticipatiOn of this event. Cumberland is now
quiet, and much relief is felt that the contest is

1t is reported that our Royal Bob"

Paymaster Stevenson, and other Washingtonians
have Struck it rich" in New Mexico. Abouta
year ago this syndicate purchased a number of
mining claims in Southwest New Mexico, twenty
seven in number, and placed Mr.. Gillette formerly
of the Comstock, in charge. Within two weeks the
manager telegraphed here wonderful statement
as to his recent strikes. There was other
property, especially wood and water, to be
secured, and he urged Colonel Ingersoll and the
others to come on at once. Mr.. John Mackay was
in Washington at the time. On inquiry he in
dorsed Mr.. Gillette's judgment and experience in
the most pronounced manner. Colonel Ingersoll,
with Others, left here at once The Colonel agreed
to telegraph Mrs. Ingersoll if the statements of
Gillette were borne out, using for a cipher the
names of certain heroes of free thought. On We'd
nesday it is reported that Mrs Ingersoll received
the approving Dispatch Bruno, Spinoza, Vol

hood of Lafayette Square.-Sunday Gazette.

GIBSoN,S POWER,
What the Creature Has Accomplished b,
BaI6-Headed Lying.

Buell., in the Capital, again pays his re-
spects to the Post Office detective. He said yes
terday: With the resources that the New York
Sun was willing to dole out to him. Mr.. Gibson was
able to invent enough of his peculiar kind of evil
| dence to bring Secretary of the Navy before one
investigating committee on charge of public rob-
| berry, and to hale General Garfield before another
on charge of bribe-taking.
| with the pittance that Sam Tilden was willing
to intrust to him he was able to suborn perjury
enough to place President Hayes on trial for the
title to his office, and to arraign John Sherman,
James A. Garfield, and the other visiting states
men before the bar of public opinion on charge
| of having themselves suborned perjury and pro-
cured forgery and the Justification of election re-
| turns.
"Theresult in all these cases is matter of his
| tory. Mr.. Gibsons invented evidence dispersed
in air upon the first contact with judicial proceed
ings, and his suborned perjury exploded of its own
| rottenLess out of the very mouths of the poor
| wretches whom he had suborned
" And now we find this creature employed by an
Attorney General of the United States to conduct
| one of the most important investigations of our
| history!
There can be but one inference: II with Sam.
| Tildens niggardly pittance he could suborn per-
| jury enough to put O President on trial for the
| title to his Office what may he not do with the
| contingent funds of the Post-O Office Department
and the Department of Justice at his back for pur-
poses of ofsubornation, and power of financial life
death over hundreds of contractors in his hands
for purposes of extortion of such testimony as he
may DESIRE and of such evidence las he may
need to accomplish his ends? That he has used,
and is constantly using, both is no secret. The
mail service of the country is being torn and dis
mantled right and left by the Postmaster General
upon this creatures recommendation, and for the
avowed purpose of forcing contractors to squeal?
"We say that the employment of such man in
such capacity and with such powers is without
precedent in history. 1t cannot be defended 1t
cannot even be explained 1t stands, and must
forever stand, bald, naked outrage upon the
name of American justice, q foul, indecent blot
upon the record of the administration that en-
ploys him or toierates his employment, and its
effect will be to make an utter, disgusting farce
or travesty upon jurisprudence of any proceeding
that may come out Oft.
$50 far as the alleged r-route frauds and the
alleged star-route ring are concerned, we know
nothing about them. fany crime has been done
let it be detected and the doers oft punished But
the truth can never be evolved by the operations
of professional libeler nor can the ends ofjustice
be achieved through the arts of professional
suborner of perjury-no matter by whom employed
or with what powers clothed.
That is the beginning and the end of our busi-
ness with Mr.. Gibson. We hope nobody will mis-
understand us this time"

Threatening the President.

Congressman Tucker, of Virginia, day
regarding the course of the administration as to
the coming election in Virginia. Mr.. Tucker
urged against any support of the Readjusters by
the administration, saying that it a
State contest, and that the Readjusters, in ia
vOring reputation, would hurt every in
terest of the State if they got control of it.
The President did not indicate what policy he
would pursue. but said the matter would be de-
cided by the Cabinet. As the Virginia campaign
is not yet really opened, there is need for imme
diate action, but the Cabinet will consider the
whole question at some meeting soon. There is a
strong inclination on the Presidents part to help
Malone. Tucker and other prominent Democrats
have said to the President that if the AdminiStra
ton supports Malone the Democratic Congressman
will consider it matter for their irresentment.-Ohio
