How these railroad men love one another"
said one of the liveliest of all travelling men to
a STAR reporter last night. II have seen two
examples Of their affection recently" he con-
tinued- ''Some time ago the Pennsylvania
people were unfortunate enough to have a de-
cidedly ugly looking wreck at Winsns and the
debris was piled up quite high. Now,

and the Baltimore and Ohio engineers
made frequent excuses for stopping as near as
possible to the scene of the disaster. The
Baltimore and Ohio company has no station
there. but for two or three days little things
were always happening to Baltimore and Ohio
passenger engines. and as a consequence Balti-
more and Ohio passengers were provided with
ample opportunities to comment upon the
faulty methods which could permit such dis
asters.
But things were reversed few DAYS ago.

Mr.. Morse and That Stable.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Will You kindly say for me, referring to item
in yesterdays STAR under the heading .sTrouble
Over q Livery Stable" in which the UNDER
signed is quoted, that if the Commissioners of
the District have, as therein stated, made "a
searching inquiry into the matter neither the
property owners in the vicinity who made the
complaint nor their attorney have been advised
Of the result Of such inquiry. II it be true. as
reported, that the Commissioners have found
that the stables are used by l.. Monkey and A.
NJ. Lothrop tor the use of their own stock and
that DALEY Is only q groom" it will be a sur
prising revelation to the residents in that neigh
borhood. For 1t is notorious that stables for
the hire Of and board Of horses and vehicles of
all descriptions have been maintained and are
still maintained on the premises referred to,
and that the party or parties maintaining the
stables are carrying on the business without
license and in violation Of law, and notwith-
standing the written protests of the adjoining
residents and property owners. 1t is only
necessary for the authorities to inspect the sta
bles, to count the number of horses and car
riages there kept, to inquire a. to the owner
ship, to observe the conditions there existing
and the purposes for which the horses and vehi-
Giles are daily used to satisfy themselves that
the stables are maintained in open defiance of
the regulations aud laws of the District. 1t
constitutes q violation of law to convert pri-
vate stable into public livery stable, and It ia
matter OF indifference, in the eye OF the law
whether 1t is the act of Moxley, Lothrop OF
Daley, their groom" Yours truly,
ALEX. PoRrER MORSE.

The Question That Comes Up Relative to .

The Question That Comes Up Relative to .
street I'm Meridian Hill.
Some DAYS ago, in the line with public i'm
provements. the Commissioners ordered the
grading Of Prospect and Crescent streets. Me-
ridian Hill While this work was in progress
the owners Of certain lots abutting on these
streets protested against said work being done.
The matter was called to the attention Of the
Commissioners by Engineer Hunt, who
said he assumed that the owner based
his protest on claim of ownership to
that part of Meridian Hill which is
in front of bis lots. The matter was referred
to the assistant attorney for the District, Mr..
s. T. Thomas, for investigation and report.
After looking into the matter carefully he tells
the Commissioners in a letter today that in 1867
there was plat filed in the Office Of the sur
veyor. signed by the owners of the land, show
ing a subdivision they had made of Meridian
Hill, and on this plat, among other highways,
Prospect and Crescent streets appear.
there was change in the lines
of the subdivision so as to project certain lots
into Meridian avenue. but it does not appear,
says Mr.. Thomas, that the District OF Columbia
or the United States was a party to this attempt
at change, nor WINS the filing OF the plat in the
Office Of the recorder of deeds notice to the
District that the dedicators of Meridian avenue
desired TO take back any part of it, if they re-
tanned such a right, or that they intended to
encroach upon it.
THE OPENING OF MERIDIAN AVENUE.
In 1891 Meridian avenue was opened and used
by the public. In the meantime a plat was
filed by the owners of the ground on both
sides Of 18th street extended, except that
between the west line of 10th street and Merid-
ian avenue and Prospect street. agreeing to
dedicate enough of their respective lands on
10th street from Florida avenue to Morris
street the same width il is in the city, but the
filing Of this plat did not make the west line of
10th street extended where it comedies with
Meridian avenue the building line,
did il entitle the owner of the lots, who
is a complainant in this case, to build
TO the west line of 10th street extended In
conclusion he suggests that the Commission
ers have q survey made. and If as a result of such
survey il is found that the cutting IL within the
lines Of Crescent street and Meridian avenue.
as shown on the original plat, filed in 1867, then
the work be resumed. II is an old maxim Of
the common law that once n highway always
"a highway" and in the absence of satisfactory
evidence Of the discontinuance or abandonment
by the public Of Crescent or Meridian avenue
the presumption is in favor Of their contin-
uance.
