THE RAILROAD QUESTION.
Ii IL Talked Over by the Southeast
Washington Association.

At meeting last night OF Citizens Association
No. 2, Southeast Washington, a letter was read
from the District Commissioners in reply to
communication from the association relating to
the grading OF Kentucky avenue. The Commits
sioners stated that the workhouse gang viii be
put on that work whenever they are not otherwise
employed.
MI Weller spoke at some length on the attitude
which this association has always held toward
the railroad problem. They have always con-
tended, he said, that the Baltimore and Ohio road
should be compelled to unite its two tracks and
enter the city on the line of the Baltimore and
Potomac This has been opposed by every other
member OF the executive committee OF the COM
mittee OF One Hundred, with whom the favorite
Sd street, tunnel to North Carolina avenue and
tnen emerge into an open cut and join the Balti-
more and Potomac. The Two members Of that
Southeast Washington, opposed this plan
been reached 1y BIZ pwSleS mas has DeeS
introduced in both Houses, authorizing the
appointment Of a commission OF nine 70 deter
mine upon the lines OF all tracks. and the location
or the depots, the commission to be composed OF
the secretary OF War; the superintendent OF pub
designated by the President, the Engineer COM
missioner OF the District, and representative OF
each OF the three railroads running into the city
OF affairs in southwest Washington, he read from
clipping from The STAR, giving report OF the
.uOtSiHS VI Tic dSSOCidliOu lildJ SeCIlOu, uclu
May ID, at which the association unanimously
endorsed the scheme TO tunnel Sd street, and TO
ruin GARFIELD Park, the finest reservation in the
city, II think" he said, shat the people OF
southeast Washington are competent to decide as
10 what we want and not to submit to the endorse
menLs OF any little clique In the southwest"
W. Z. b. stocking said tdat he was surprised,
to say the least, that any resident Of East WASH
ington could give consent 10 any plan that would
permit any railroad 10 cross any street at either
above or below grade. lie was satisfied that the
Baltimore Ohio does not want TO cross the city
when they can go around and save quarter OF
mile OF track, and IL was not at ali improbable
that the company Is now buying options for land
along the Eastern Branch. In a meeting or the
executive committee that afternoon, he said
action was taken which will probably prevent the
consideration OF the Farwell bill in the Senate
morrow.
Mr. Weller followed up Mr.. Stockings remarks
by reading from the deed OF the original grant of
the land OF this city TO the Government by the
owners, In which is a clause making a condition
that, ia his opinion, took away from the Govern
ment the legal right to divide any portion OF the
land set apart for public parks with private per-
sons or corporations. He thought that II the time
should come and the citizens should unite and
employ eminent counsel TO ventilate this question:
lt would be found that the Government has done
what II had no right to do.

AXWORTHY'S ACT.
One of Cleveland's Chief Municipal
Officers a Defaul5er.
THE TREAsURER's TRICK.
He Quietly Left the City in September
Going Finally to Montreal -
Shortage of Almost 100000
Already Unearthed.

CLEVELAND, o., Oct 81 - The greatest
excitement prevails in this city in financial
and business circles over the reported desalca
ton Of City treasure Thomas Axworthy.
Mr.. Axworthy started for New York on
Sept ., but no particular attention was
paid TO his absence, from the fact that as
principal financial officer of the city in the
course of business Inc had made occasional
trips to the east, presumably in the interest
Of the municipality.
ii Is prolonged absence at last created slls
picon, and an inquiry was set on foot to dis
cover his whereabouts, possible IL was
soon learned that Mr.. Axworthy's stay in
New York was very brief, as it was discov-
cred that he left for Montreal on Sept. %, the
day after his arrival in the metropolis. His
fight 10 Canada suggested an examination
of his books which developed the fact that
there was IA shortage in the city funds OF
nearly 100000
The exact amount shown, so far as the in-
vestigation has proceeded, is 1885,, 900, and it
is thought when the matter has been probed
to the bottom that the defalcation will far
exceed that amount.
Mr. Axworthy was we'll connected socially,
and his many friends among the best people
of Cleveland have been greatly shocked at
the disclosures. q
The authorities are so greatly excited over
the exposure of Axworthy's stupendous pecu-
lations that they have not yet decided how
10 proceed, though portion of the money
stolen may be niade COOL by the defaulting
treasurer's bondsmen

NIukes an Important Decision.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
Aiakes an Important Decision.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 24-The interstate COM
merce commission, on complaint of individ-
ual oil refiners of Baltimore, has ordered
that the charges on crude oil for tranSporta-
sion from Washington to Baltimore shall not
exceed forty cents barrel. This order has
been sent to the Pennsylvania Railroad com,
pany, it having been shown that the rate
from Washington, Pa, had been increased
from forty 20 fifty cents barrel.
1t seems that rather than carry the oil at
40 cents the company decided to abandon the
traffic; for President Roberts, in a letter on
Oct. TO to Judge Cooley, chairman of the
interstate commerce commission, says:
The rate of so cents which we had previ.
ously adopted was one that was already so
low that we were satisfied before the action
of your commission that it would not bring
any proper return to our company, and thai
1t would be very much better for us that the
traffic should select some other route or some
other means of transportation"
In reply to this Judge Cooley wrote on
Saturdays Il understand now that what has
been done in this case was done for the pur-
pose Of avoiding giving effect to the decision
the commission had made.
certainly the commission can't recognize
your right to take the action you have done,
which seems to assert on basialf of your COM
pany right to accept or decline at viii traf-
fic Offered you We shalt be glad to meet
you at any time which viii suit your con-
venience in conference"
