Properly. J
' vMrJo,,e Presented a communiration from
l..8. .r tae Philadelphia Gas Work-.
It states thit the Special Committee had pro
ceeded to tbe Gag Work and examined a num
ber ot the emploves. No mvitation wit (riven
to the Board or Trustees or Chief Ensnner to
be present or to assist in the In vegt Lotions. A
condensed statement ina'le trom tbe last
annual report of the Trustees was (riven, and
they are willlne to afford all lacilities to the
Committee, satislled that it will be found that
the allairso! the Trust have been conducted
with fidelity, economy, and success. Three
loans have already been paid out ot the sinkin"
lund, and on the 1st of January, 18G8, that fund
amounted to Sl.G21,012'2i, sollicient to pay all
the other louns, leavlnir tbe works worth several
millions to the city clear, without having in
vested a dollar of capital. The pr.ee ol gas
compares favorably with those of other cities,
while the average price in other cities Is S3't6,
in this city but $3-1 H charged. Tbe Trustees
inv'te tbe Select ana Common Councils to ap
poiut a joint comminet to audit and examine all
the reports, and directed the President of the
Hoard to appoint a committee ot Ave to furnish
all books and papers and to cive any informa
tion de-ired.
Mr. Manuel rose to a question of privilege. He
conpliiined that he had been insulted by a
member of this Chamber who does not know
wtiat common decency is. He desired that swn
tleman (Colonel Pape) to understand that while
he (Mr. Manuel) was here he wa-i not the Chief
Kngiuecr ot the Gas Works, but he was his peer,
lie considered it due to these Councils, of wbich
he had been a member ten ears, to the trustees
ot the Gas Work-, with whom he had had busi
ness relations for thirty years, and to the public,
to pive an explanation of his recent actions in
reference to the special investigating com
mittee. The committee have visited the Gas
Works in tbe Twenty-sixth Ward, but as no no
tice hud been plven to the Trustees or to him,
they -were not pres.-nt. The Chairman had
asked the employes many questions about him
(Manuel), which questions were all promptly
answered. Afterwards the committee had visited
theNoith Ward (ias Works, and Mr. Manuel,
who happened to be there, escorted them
through the worKs aud subsequently accom
panied them to the Fifteenth. Ward Works. The
committee declined to visit the works in the
Twentj-Orst, Twenty-second, and Twenty -third
WHrds. On the 30th ot April the speaker had
received a note, such a one as he would have
received as a member of the committee. Ho
attended, and had been tr ated in the most in
sulting manner by the Chairman of the com
mittee, who had called him u liar and a scoun
dreL He was too well known in this commu
nity to be injured by anjthing coming from
that source. He dpsired the most rigid investi
gation into hie management, but he declined
having anv intercourse w ith the Chairman of
the committee.
When the Committee on Law was called, Colo
nel Page asked tne chairman to make the
repoit agreed upon at the last meeting of the
committee.
Mr. Waencr, chairman, replied that- he had
no report to make.
Colonel Pace said that a report had been
agreed upon, was signed, and placed in the
hands ot the chairman. A.ter the adjournment
two gentlemen had mutilated tbe report by
tearing their names off. He desired to know
whether these gentlemen had a right to take
their names off after the committee adjourned.
Mr. Wagner remarked that it was ' signed by
five members, and at the last meeting two other
gentlemen had put their names to it. These
gentlemen had afterwards withdrawn tbeir
names, and therefore he could not submit the
report.
Colonel Pace then desired to instruct the
chairman to present the report, and the Presi
dent suggested that that could be done by a
joint resoluuon suspending the rulo which re
quired reports to be signed by seven members.
Mr. Wagner, lrora the Ccnimittee on Schools,
reported an ordinance authorizing the pur
chase ot lots ot ground on Cherry 6treet, east of
Eleventh, aud on Seventeenth street, between
Wood and Carlton streets, lor school purposes.
Passed.
The same committee reported an ordinance
authorizing the Controllers of the Public
Schools to enter into contracts lor the erection
of school-houses, except m First Ward, upon
lots of ground owned by the city, or to be leased
or purchased for school purposes, provided
that payment shall be made in certificates
of loun provided for by ordinuuce of Decem
ber, lhO'l.
After considerable discussion, the ordinance
was postponed for one wei k.
Mr. King offered a resolution requesting Mr.
Jacob W. Colladay, the contractor lor the new
CT'ft house, to have the granite and other
b.-e used dre-sed in tins city. He said tuat
the granite ot the Pennsylvania Hank build
ing, and other structures, was all dressed in
New England, and Philadelphia mechanics
have reaped no benefit from it.
Dr. Kamerly thought there was no purpose
in the resolution. Mr. Colladay, tbe contractor,
is going to buy his stone and dress it anywhere
he can get it the cheapest. He wouldn't par
any attention to requesis.
Mr. King said thut he felt a pride in Phila
delphia mechanics, and he considered it no more
than right that the work of tbe city should be
done bv Philhdi lphians.
Dr. Kamerly moved to indefinitely postpone
the resolution. Not anTceii to.
The resolution was agreed to.
Colonel Page submitted a resolution, direct
ing the Chairman ot the Committee on Law to
present the report of tbe committee on a subject
submitted to it tor inquiry, viz.: By what
authority the Trustees of tlie Gas Works appr
priated $31)0 to lo ot tbe members for making
a report? .
Colonel Page said hp w as not very familiar 1
with the rules ot Select Council in reaard to
committees, but he has al ways understood the
parliamentary rule to be that when a committee
decides a matter its power is exhausted: that
there is no reconsideration in committee. The
report had been regularly adopted and signed
by eicbt members. Afterwards two members
had withdrawn their names. He denied their
rieht to c!o so and deB'ieJ. the chamber to settle
the matter.
Mr. Smith held that the members of a commit
tee had a light to tell the chairman to withhold
a report after it bad been adopted, Tbe matter
can again come before the committee.
Dr. Kamerly favored the resolution. He con
tended that the report of the committee was
valid when it was signed and given to the chair
man, and nobody had a rlaht to mutilate it by
erasing their names from It. .
Mr. Freeman declared that th only question
was the right of rcntlemen to control their
names before they becana the property of the
Chamber, Until a report i presented, it is con
sidered the property of the committee, and nen
tlemen have reserved the rigbt to remove their
names If they were afterwards convinced they
had signed a wrong report.
Colonel Page contended that If any gentleman
finds that be has made a mistake in signing a
report, it Is his place to bring the matter up in
committee, and not take their names off outside
of it, as has been done in this case. A gentle
man only has a right to control his name alter
signing a report by going to tbe committee and
'explaining that he has made a mistake.
The resolution was disagreed to. Yeas, 6;
navs, 8.
The resolution from Common Council to ap
point a joint special committee to investigate
tbe affairs ot tbe Gas Works was called up.
Mi. Klna opposed tbe resolution. The present
Committer of Select Council is getting along
TI1EJUILY
very harmoniously, nd don't i desire any inter
fen nee. This resolution wilL abolisa ,ihe com
mittee and establish a new one, wttli the Chair
man in the other Chamber. Tnn Helnrf fVinnMi
has confidence in Its committee, and the com
munity is satiatier! that the committee will
make a trnthtul report. The speaker agreed that
Common Council by its action in this matter de
sires to clog the Investigation, and that any In
terference with the present committee will be
looked upon with suspic or by the people.
- Dr. Kamerly also opposed the passage of the
resolution.
Colonel Paae explained that he had otferel
the original resolution because he considered
it tbe rifiht and duty of Councils to tnvestl'-Kt
tbe affairs of the Gas Works. The committee
had visited the different Gas Works, and. in all
instances, it hau been met ly tbe Trustees,
greeted with cordiality, and every facility was
oflered. Then came the summouineot witnesses.
A gentleman, who is a member of this Cha.nber,
w as requested by a polite note to attend. He
did so, but what trrnspired in committee, Colo
nel Page said he was not at liberty to toll; but
a phouocrsphcr wss there, and whn his report
is brovuhtto light, it it ever is, it will be seen
whether the chairman of the committee Is right
or not. It will then be seen whether this com
mittee has not been insulted from tha vprv nut.
start, and the chairman was obliged to use harsh
miipuHge not me worus wntch have been attri
buted to him by the conduct of an otliccr of
tbe Gas Works. Every heart in this city looks
to this committee to reduce the tax upon a very
necessary article. This resolution inf.r,i,.
this committee, and if it Is concurred in he shall
consider nimseii dismissed, as ho could not be
exrected to play a subordinate nurt In th
drama now being performed. He had no per
sonal motive in this investigation, and he saonld
be veiy elad if the Trustees shall come out with
a clean sheet. .
Without action on the subioet. the ntuniWr
adiourned.
Common Branch President Ktntlnr in ha
Chair. Mr. Evans offered a resolution appoint
ing a joint committee ot five from each Cham
ber to examine the accounts and Investigate the
management of the Philadelphia Gas Works.
Mr. Hetzel opposed tbe riassnpp of tho rani.
tion on the ground that it reflected on tbe spe
cial committee of Select Council appointed tor
the same purpose. If the resolution read "the
appointment of five member from c.nm
Council to act in conjunction with the Hclect
Council Committee," then he would vote for it;
out as me lesoiution is, he believed it was offered
for the purpose of having a whitewashing com
mittee appointed. He was confident thut tho
gas men knew that the Chairman of tbe Select
Council Committee was not to be cowed down.
On the pipage of the resolution the yeas and
nays were called, resulting iu yeas 2!, nays 7.
Passed.
The Chairman appointed the frlL-u-inn. mem
bers on the Committee: Messrs. Evans, Willits.

pacted.
Mr. Franciscus cnlled up the ordinance to
change the boundaries of the First and Second
Pc lice Districts, aud to create a new Police Dis
trict therein, to be called the Seventeenth Dis
trict. This oiduiance provides that the First
and Second Police Districts, as at present con

The Select Council bill appropriating SC77 to
the Department of Street Gleaming was called
up. A motion to postpone wus made. Mr.
Nickels opposed the bill. He considered it a
system ol wtolesalo rooberv. He was surprised
that the Chairman of the Committee on Street
Cleansing would put his name to the bill. Mr.
Nickels took back the last remark, and said he
was not surprised at the Committee hxiu his
name to the bill. ,
Mr. Willits said he was not willine to vote
for the bill. The Common Council have abol
ished the office, and it is supposed that tho
Chiet Inspec tor, Mr. Gordon, goes with it. On
motion, postponed lor the preseut.
Mr. Stanton offered a resolution to have the
dock at the foot of Washington street wharf

Destructive Fibe. About half past 0
o'clock last evening the extensive coal-oil re
finery of Messrs. Loeran k Lloyd, located at the
corner of Twentieth street and Washington

The priucipal building of the refinery, including
the still and treating houses, oflice, stables,
frame sheds, and about eight hundred barrels
ot oil and benzine in tanks and process ol re
fining, were consumed, aud the machiuey, fix
tures, and apparatus rendered a complete
wreck. A laree quantity of refined oil and ben
zine, in barrels and cans, was rescued. The fire
men worked nobly, and prevented the flames
from extending to the surroundinc properties,

the weitht ot tbe people on them, and a number
of persons, Includlug firemen, were hurt, but no
