The Sixth Auditor of the Treasury department has requested the Solicitor of the Treasury to bring suit on the bond of Cadet Taylor, postmas- ter at Winona, Ill, to recover the amount em- bezzled by a subordinate. The alleged circum stances in the case are of a peculiar nature, Dur- ing the absence of the postmaster and his assist- ant one day the delivery clerk obtained access to the safe where the money-order biank books were kept, and from one of these books he cut thirty- one eaves.

A New Freight Yard. THE BALTIMORE AND POTOMAO RAILROAD LEASE FROM THR DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS THE RE- CLAIMED CANAL LAND—SOUTH WASHINGTON TO BE RELIEVED OF THE ANNOYANCE OF SIDE TRACKS, ETO. Tho conferences recently held between the Dis- trict Commissioners and the general manager of the Baltimore and Potomac road resulted yester- day in the signing of an agreement by which Vir- ginla avenue, between 1st and 8th streets south- West, Will be relieved of the nulsunce of which te residents thereabouts have long complained, and tbe company are given the use of Canal street, be- tween South Capitol and 2¢ streets southeast, a3 a freight yard. The land which will be occupied by the railroad company consists chiefly of lind re- claimed by filling the old canal Tue permission thus given 1s to be temporary in its character, and to be submitted to Congress for its’ ap- proval at its next session. The terms of the agreement: are substantially as follows: The Commissioners give permission to lay eight side tracks within the space named, in addition to the tour main tracks, the side tracks to be on the north of the existing tracks. The rall- Toad company agrees to pave a rowway with ranite blocks and lumber across ite tracks at New Jersey avende, and to muintain a sidewalk oneach side of the ‘roadway. The company fur- ther agrees to erect and maintain sultable gates for closing travel on the north und south sides of its tracks at New Jersey avenue and at South Cap- itol street, 2d street east and any other important public thoroughfare crossing the tracks to be con- structed under this renee required by the Dis- trict, and not to permit cars to stand so as to un- Teasonably impede travel on sald streets or ave- nues. For the privilege thus granted uy the Di frict the Fallroad company agrees to pay during the continuance of this grant the sui of $3, per annum, payable sem!-annually In advance. Provision fs made for refunding to the company its first semt-annual payment, providing Cong:e-3 disapproves or modines the agreement, the com- pany agreeing to remove the tracks and re-tore the ground to its present condition. The Commis- stoners also reserve the right to terminate the agreement on six months’ notice. It Is provided also that in case of arefu alto pay te lease money certificates of indebtedness may be Issued agatnst the railroad company. ‘The railroid company sent to the District Com- missioners yesterday Its check for $3,750 for six months’ ren tin advance of the east part of Canal street, in accordance with the contract. A leiter was addressed by the Commissioners to the general m:nazer of the company, directing them to have automaticgat serected immediately across 6th and 7th streets, and other streets Which the tracks cross, to protect travel. PERMISSION TO LAY SIDE TRACKS GRANTED. ‘The Commisstoners made an order yesterday “That permission is hereby granted to the Baltt- more & Potomac railroad company to lay side tracks, not exceeding eight In number, on Canal street southeast, between South Capitol street and 2d street, upon the terms and conditions specified at length in the agreement between the District of Columbia ana tue Baltimore & Potomac ratircad company, executed September 31, 1883, and now on file in tue office of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia.” WHAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS WANT. Mr. C. B. Church, one of the largest property owners along the line of the ratiroad on Virginia and Maryland avenues, stated to a Srar reporter that he could not see anything in the agreement: between the Commisston-rs and the railroad com- pany, as published, which provided for the relief | Of the property owners in South Washington. It looked as though the Commissioners were grant- ing the railroad this new land in addition to that already used by them. The property owners had applied first to the railroad company, then to the Commissioners, and at last to the courts, for re- lef, and 1t appeared now that they would have to depend upon the courts, -We wiil have to ight them, and will fight them square by square,” sald Mr. Church. “We have commenced it,and we wiil keep itup. We are a unit down there, and you will find no division among us.” “Would it be satisfactory to you and your neighbors,” asked the reporter, “if the railroad Was required to remove its freight Lusiness to the proposed new depot?” “All we ask,” said Mr. Church, ‘1s that the company shall hot be allowet to shift_and unlo.d trains on these avenues. We are willlig that they shall have two main tracks for Incomlag and out- going trains, That fs all they ought to ask. We want them to have their tricks in the center of the avenues, and to plant trees along them. so as togive the ‘street a handsome appearance. Tl venture to say that If the rallroad company will do this the property owners who have entered Suits will at once withdraw their suits.” NO CONCESSION FROM THE RAILROAD. Dr. J. E Morgan, speaking to a Srar reporter this morning, referred to the injuactions already gotten out against the railroad company, and sald that there was no concession by the railroad com- pany in this agreement It 1s simply anoun ravulty from the public to the railroad comp iny. Fhe property owners, hesaid,are periectly. willity to grant the railroxd company all of their original right, which was the right of through the streets, but they do object to the monopoly of the streets by the company which now exists. Let them move thelr cars and the bustle of miking up trains away from the streets, and the citizens will have but little cause of complaint, “If the merits of this question, and the extent of the injury inflicted upon the’ people could be known, I think,” concluded the lor, “that the feigned conoeasions of the railway company would not be mistaken by the pubic for the reaL” ~ SENTENCED FOR A MIDNIGHT AsSAULT.—About noon to-day Wm. Hoffman was before the Police Court, charged with assaulting Lawrence Miller and his sister Frederika Miller, Monday night, While they were coming home trom a picnic: Young Miller stated that he and his sister left the Picnic about midnight, and when they got a short dl-tance from the grounds they were at- tacked by Hoffman, who cut witness on the neck with a knife and then cut his sister across the face, ‘The young woman, who is and cannot speak the English fai ‘was called to the stand,and her testimony to be inter- reted.
