Ss MEETING OF THE CITIZENS OF THE SEVENTH Warp on THE RalLrroap Question.—Last evening, a numerously attended meeting of the citizens of the Seventh Ward was held at Wal- ker’s Potomac Hall, (11th street and Maryland avenue,) to take some action in relation to the bill passed on Wednesday night by the Board ot Common Council. Dr. J. E. Morgan was called to the chair, and Mr. Joseph L. Pearson appointed secre- The Chair stated that he presumed all were aware of the object of the meeting. A look at Maryland) avenue was sufficient, they saw its condition; 4 railroad in it which disgraces the city, and would disgrace any country village. It was an impedimentto travel. No one eonld drive across it unless at the intersection of a street. Yet the Council had passed a bill giv- ing the railroad company the right to keep this Toad as it is for twenty years, and in it haye not even provided that the road shall be placed as it was beforethe war, on the grade of the avenue. It wa: rng gee hastily, with- out due consideration, and no man haying the interest of the city at heart, not mentioning the interest of the Seventh Ward, would have voted for it. Dr. Allen moved the appointment of a com- mittee to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting; which was adopted. The Chair appointed Dr. Chas. Allen. John R. Elvans, Jonas B. Ellis, John Knight, Dr. R.C. Croggon, W. J. Murtagh, J. H. Bird. Messrs. Elvans and Ellis declined, and Mr. Robert Graham was appointed. After a short absence the committee returned, en reported the following preamble and reso- utions Whereas the Board of Common Conncil did, ataspecial meeting held for that purpose on Wednesday evening, pass an act granting the right of way with steam power through our streets on the railway now laid there: Resolved, That as citizens of Washington we solemnly protest against the aforesaid act, which consents to the running of steam engines through the center of the city at all hours of the day and night, as being dangerous to the lives and limbs of our citizens, and being greatly injurious to the property on or near said route. Resolved, That the present railroad track was laid down by the Government in the hurry of military operations as a temporary expedient, without reference to the convenience or inter- ests of the city, and was submitted to usasa mili! necessity to end with the war: and that the war being at an end, the road should be restored to its proper condition. The track now laid being above the grade of the street, with excayations rendering it impossible for vehicles to pass from one side of the street to the other, and which is to remain, according to the provision of the first section of said act, is an unmitigated nuisance, which would not be tolerated by any respectable village in our country. Resolved, That we are in favor of manufac- tures, commerce, railroads, and all other inter- nal improvements, but we ask that they may be managed and regulated as in other cities, so as to be a benefit and not an injury to our city; and as four miles ro hour is the rate of speed allowed by the bill to steam cars, horses could draw them quite as fast, which would obviate pene. all the objections to the use of steam for that purpose, the security and comfort of our citizens being of at least as mucn im- portance as the interest ofa railroad company Eien ee not appreciated fayors already be- stowed. Kosolved, That the thanks of our citizens are due, and are hereby tendered, to Messrs. Ham- ilton, Mead, Williams, Joyce, Wright, Dudley and Walker for their strenaous opposition to ae iniquitous measure, passed, as it was, by an over majoriy in such indecent haste. iiaiikeianiatiaaer! Dr. Allen addressed the meeting on the above resolutions stating that action was proper. The bill was passed at a special meeting against the efforts of the ward delegation; the Council could not wait for a regular mee! It was a very sdroitly drawn bill in the interests of the Raii- road Company, and he did not think the mem- bers could have given it due consideration: the right being given to the Company to continue the road as Le a epenn The tracks are far above the grade, with a ditch between them, being impassable for vehicles; engines genie Tangh, nat emily by day Uur gat, blowing her shrill whistles, and annoying citizens, scaring horses, &c. It is pi the road should ran up Sixth street, and it was ultimately intended to con- tinue it out that street to the Depot of the B. & O. R. R., which is understood will be built in about 12 months. This would not benefit the city; it was those cities where roads terminate or centre which were benfited. They tell the le that the $60,000 subscribed to the bonds of the Company would be paid back to the city, but that was our due and the Company should be made to pay it. The road now was one of = aying ones in the United States. cidents, fatal and otherwise. He did not know but that the late trip to Richmond had some- thing to doin the matter of the bill Passing. The stated the meeting would be glad to hear from the Aldermen present. Alderman Lioyd said he not know that himself or colleague should say any- thing, as the bill had net yet come belore the Board of Aldermen. He would, however, say that they would endeavor to act im such a manner as would best subserve the interests of the ward. There was no disguising the fact that the influence of the ward would be but little felt in opposition to the bill, cin le In reply to the intimation that the Rich- mond ap Bh pecan todo with the j= sage of bill, State that he did not believe it; and if memoers bad been by & dead-head ticket, it was the che: por- chase be had ever heard cf. The party went by one road and returned by another, and en- Joyed themselves hugely, Doone attempting, &s far as he knew, to work on & member of the councils with a view of getting them in the im- terest of the road. He believed a railroad was beneficial whether run through a city or not. He anticipated much of the tradeof Virginia would be brought here. itsbould be recollected that when the road was about being established one great question was ss to making the Long permanent, and it was so now; the result mainly of the success of the road Alderman Noyes said that probably the only argument that would have influence with the city wards would be in demonstrating that the interests of the city at large would be by making Washington merety a side asthis bill proposed. It was a fact well es. tablished that the business interests of any city were ruined by close railroad connections through it. Instances were cited, as of Quincy, ill, Erie, Pa., Salem, Mass., &c., d&c., cities killed as dead as if struck by lightning, in con- sequence of trai whizzing through their streets without pause, carrving trade directly past their doors. The cities of Baltumore, Phil- adelphia, New York, Boston, and indeed all cites of any business sagacity, have ander- stood this so well that they have persistently resisted all endeavors or tie great railroad monopolies to make close connections through their streets. While these cities, for their own benefit, so zealousiy guard the right of transit through their bounds, and insist upon a com- plete break of connection through their limits of the immenee traveland freight passing through them, it certainly cannot be required of this city to eacrifice not only its basiness pros: ity, but also the lives and limbs of its citizen: to enable & much less important line of road to bolt by steam directly through the centre of the city without stop. He did not believe that Congress would allow the trains to run through by steam, and we could at least make a stand upon that issue. The ward del om would do all possible to protect the interests of the ward, and if not able to defeat the bill, they might succeed in modifying its most objection- able features. Mr. Lioyd said that the bill would probably be referred next Monda: d he boped the citizens having any sugge stomake w a inform his colleague or himeclf of their views At had been suggested that the bill provide that the company shall establish a fre near the Long Bridge. Dr. Allen said they had once pr property near the Long Bridge for a depot. but had anandoned it. If they established a depot bere, altered the grade of the road to that of the avenue and would run through by horses there would be but little to object to. Mr. Elvans took it for granted that the whole objection was on steam power. He wanted to convince the people that the Seventh Warders are & progressive people, and will use all et- torts to get railroads in and through the city, but under gl regulations. If the passage of the bill was a foregone conclusion they should make a move towards having a freight and passenger depot establisbed in the ward, where the freight trains might stop and not go directly through. The citizens had aright to complain if they had no opportunity to shi or receive treight except a small bundle wiy might be tossed in or ont the train passes at fullspeed. He asked if there was no power to make the company = down the track to the proper grade, thatthe streets might be pass. able. He was glad for once to be at a meeting where the people of the ward were irrespec- tive of party, and while here he would sag- geet—— [Here the train came thundering along Maryland avenue, with bell ringing, drowning the voice of the speaker and causing consider- able mirth, some one exclaiming « Take vour the Engine has the floor.) He suggested the citizens make a united effort, and ask the Commissioner of Public Buildings to arge an gaa een for grading and paving Mary. land avenue. The resolutions were further discussed, and after amendment as follows they were uoani- mously adopted :—Striking out of the second Teeolution the words “without reference to the convenience or interests of the city,” and out of the last resolution the words, “passed as it was by an overbearing ma. ity in euch inde- cent haste.” and to substitate the word “un. just,” in the same resolution, for the word iguitous;” amended. Mr. Elvans suggested, as this was a public Meeting, some action be taken in reference to Maryland avenue, and he moved that the members of the Board of Aldermen and Board of Common Council from this ward be ap- pointed a committee to confer with the Com- mitsioner of Public Buildings to have Mary- land avenue graded and paved. Mr. Noyes moved that Virginia avenue be included in the committees representations, at least, tothe extent of getting it graded and graveled. From what he heard he thought that by proper representations Congress would improve that avenue, it being the most direct route. and with the lightest grade between the Navy Yard and the Departments. The amend- ment was adopted. Mr. Lioyd suggested that a committee of ten citizens be appointed for the purpose of the resolution. Dr. Allen moved that a committee of five be appointed to act in conjunction with the mem- bers of the Council on the s ect, » The resolution was adopted and Messrs. J. R. Elvans, W. J. Murtagh, Chas. Alien, John H, Semmes, Jcnas B. Ellis, and James E. Mor- gan were appointed the committee. The meeting adjourned, subject to the call of the President. i and the resolutions passed as ——_ > > THE MURDER OF HATTIE WILKES. Particulars of the Suicide of Farwell, the Murderer. The New York World of yesterday says, with regard to Farwell’s arrest On Wednesday, Detective Elder received in- formation which sed him to believe tnat Far- well was m this city, and he, together with Detective McCord, kept a sharp lookout for him. It was then discovered that Farwell was boarding somewhere in Broome street, and that he was in the nabit of visitung a friend in West Broadway.

They watched him for some time, and final: determined to arrest him, which they aceord- ingly did. Farwell was much frightened at first, but quickly regained his self-possession. He was then noticed to be attempting to get rid of something which he beld in his hand, but did not succeed. as the officers were too quick forhim. He was overpowered, and on open. ing his hand a lady's gold watch was found, which is said to answer to the description of the one taken off the murdered woman. Far- well was taken to the police headquarters, and intelligence of the arrest was telegraphed to Washbingion. Soon after the follow: ing tele. gram was received in reply: Wasutnoton, D.
