MARY L. D. MACFARLAND. April 1, 1896, —— Republican Sweep in Rhode Island. Election day in Rhode Island proved an ideal one for the voter, and throughout the state the indications are those of a very heavy vote. With only five districts in the state to hear from at midnight Gov. Lippitt was re-elected by a plurality of over 10,000. The democrats acknowledge that yester- day's election was a clean sweep for the republicans, as they have lost Cumberland in the assembly fight, and the republicans carry Providence. License won in Provi- dence, Pawtucket, Central Falls and Woon-, socket. THE GRAVITY ROAD Mr. Somerville Resenta Some Oriticiems Re- cently Made. Mt. Pleasant Citizens Diseuss Railroad Transit to the Zoo—Confidence Ex- ‘pressed im Mr. Somerville. At the regular monthly meeting of the Mt. Pleasant Citizens’ Association last evening the principal matter discussed was the action of President J; W. Somerville in connection with the proposed Zoo grav- ity railroad. Saturday last a statement was published in a local morning news- paper, Intimating that Mr. Somerville had assured the District Commissioners that the association favored the railway. Mr. H. D. Wal®@idge, a member of the asso- ciation, was reported as suggesting that the association had been misrepresented. It was also reported that Mr. Somerville had Informned the Commissioners that the railroad committee of the association fa- vered the railway, or that he could get the committee to approve it. In the publi- ci nm Mr. J. M. Clapp was reported as saying that the scheme was a blackmail- ing one, and that it fs impracticable. Denied Charges. Leaving the chair, Mr. Somerville stated that he desired to make a personal ex- plaration. He regretted the necessity for it, but belleved that unless he was set right In the matter his usefulness, both as the president and as a member of the as- sociaticn, would be forever destroyed. He then read the article in question, and next the letter from Ethelbert Baler, one of the interested parties m the proposed gravity railroad, in which the charges that the road would not be built and might hang us a menace over the property of citizens were indigi antly denied. The writer stated that an amendment would be offered pro- viding that the road should be built inside of one year from the passage of the bill. Mr. Baier also avowed the ability of the designers te build and run the road and to make it a success from financial and en- gineering standpoints. Harmony Follows. Referring to Mr. Walbridge’s reported statements, Mr. Somerville remarked that he considered them an attack on him. The relations between them had been always pleasant, and he deeply regretted that he felt compelled to refer to the matter. But he felt certain that he could clearly show that Mr. Walbridge’s statements were un- called for. Mr. Somerville said that before expressing any opinion on the proposed gravity railroad he had satisfied himself of its financial backing, and that it would be of benefit to the people visiting the Zoo, especially women and children. He ‘here- fore personally favored it, and also thought it“would benefit Mt. Pleasant, as it would require an expenditure of at least $1,000 vt Calling upon the District Commis- sioners he stated to Commissioner Ross, as President of the association, of course, that he thought the scheme a good one, and that he favored it, stating his reasons. But.” explained Mr. Somerville, “I did not tell Mr. Koss that the association favored it, for I distinctly explained to him that the matter had never been presented to it. Nor did I say that the association's com- mittee on railroads favored it, or that I could get the committee to approve 11.” Mr. Somerville further stated that he did not then understand Mr. Walbridge to be opposed to the railroad, and had he so un- derstood him he would have thought iong before favoring it himself. = Then Mr. Walbridge explained that he had stoutly opposed the railroad from the very first, believing it to be impracticable, unnecessary, and injurious to his and other people's property. Subsequently, he had told Mr. Somerville of his opposition. But as for reflecting in any way upon Mr. Somerville, nothing was further from his thought or intenticn. He_knew of no man he more highiy and sincerely honored and respected, and of no man with whom he would rather trust his interests and prop- erty. “And,” exclaimed Mr. Walbridge, “when I say that I can say no more.” Mr. Somerville Indorsed. Mr. Somerville then expressed himself as being perfectly satisfied with the statement of Mr. Walbridge, and as being very grate- ful for his kindly expressions. But the matter gave rise to a long discussion, in which Mr. Benj. P. Davis violently opposed the propcsed gravity railroad, referring to it 1s both obnoxious and noxious, remark- ing that it would, if ever constructed, which he very much doubted, resemble more the grave of 4 sea serpent than any- thing else. He offered a resolution exoner- ating Mr. Somerville, and directing the ccmmittee on railroads to appear before the Commissioners and Congress, if neces- sary, for the purpose of expressing the as- scclation’s opposition to the scheme, and to ask that It be defeated. Mr. Brown thought Mr. Somerville had done nothing frcm which he needed to be exonerated, and remarked thatthe railroad project should be referred to the committee on railroads. He therefore moved such a sub- stitute. Mr. Somerville said that he considered the motion of Mr. Davis as a personal re- flection upon his action, whereupon Mr. Davis disclaimed any such intention, and then Mr. Donald McPherson moved to lay the whole matter on the table. That mo- tion was lost, as was the substitute of Mr. Brown and ‘the original motion of Mr. Davis, and the matter was finally disposed of by the adoption of a resolution, in which the general course of Mr. Somerville, as president of the association, in taking such action upon matters for the immediate in- terests of the association as he deemed best at all times when such matters required urgent attention, was indorsed. The rail- read project was then referred to the spe- cial committee on railroads. Other Business. From the committee on sewers, Chair- man Woodruff reported that a memorial would be presented to the Senate appro- priations committee, praying that the items for sewers stricken out in the House be re- Inserted by the Senate. Upon the motion of Mr. Chapin Brown, a special committee of three was authorized to be appointed to prepare a memorial to be presented to Congress, praying that Ana- lestan Island be purchased by the District for the purpose of erecting thereon a con- tegious hospital. 4 A like committee, of which the secretary’ shall be chairman, was directed to be ap- pointed, to consider the advisability of re- vising the constitution and by-laws. Mr. Brown, from the committee on rail- reads, explained the bill prepared by the District Commissioners relative to the pro- posed extension of street railways to the Zoo and Rock Creek Parks, stating that The Star had anticipated all he had to say, however, by publishing the bill and routes. Upon his motion a special or auxiliary ccemmittee was authorized to be appointed to assist the regular committee on railroads in the matter of extension of street rail- ways.

At the annual meeting of the Michigan Political Scicace Association, to be held at Grend Rapids, Mich., tomorrow and Friday, a paper will be read on “Early Explorations Along the Great Lakes” that has been prepared by Mr. Charles Moore, clerk of the District committee of the Senate. Mr. Moore is well known here as @ careful student of historical matters per- taining to the region around the great in- land seas of this ccntinent, and his recent researches along that line have been filled with interest, and have produced some valuable results. One of monographs, on the great copper stone hew in the Na- tional Museum in tis city, has been pub- lished in one of the bulletins of the mu- seum. His paper will be read tomorrow by Pref. McLaughlin of the State Uni- versity, as Mr. Moore will be unable to leave Washington to attend the meeting. Mr. L. G.

The sale of antique oriental rugs and car- pets, India shawls and embroideries, now in progress at W. B. Moses & Sons’, 11th and F streets, is attracting much attention, one reason being that this is the first occasion in the history of the well-known establishment that anything resembling an auction has been attempted. For several days past the goods, which constitute a special consignment from Con- stantinople, have been on exhibition, the sale beginning yesterday. The lot includes carpets and rugs from the most famous weavers of the orient. Although the goods offered are not the regular stock of W. B. Moses & Sons, they are sold with the guar- antee of the firm. The goods are displayed on the fourth floor of the building, where the auction sale takes place at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. daily.
