REPORTS OF RAILROAD COMMITTEE.
Mr. Ogden, from the Special Committee

, ports and accompanying undersigned members
: The undersigned members
of the Committee on Railroads, to which
was referred the petition of the citizens re
siding on. Liberty street, in reference to the
running of cars upon said street by the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Company, and ask
ing for an abatement,of the nuisance occa
sioned thereby, would respectfully report,
That they held several meetings, after no
tice to the parties complaining, and to the
officers of said company ; that a large
number of citizens attended said meetings,
and the Railroad Company was represented
br the Solicitor, Mr. Ilampton •, that a pe
tition numerously signed by business
men, doing business in other parts
of the city, was also presented
to the Committee, asking that the tracks
ahould •be removed from , said: street;
that after hearing all the parties who desir
ed to be beard, and after full consideration
of - the petitions presented, your Comrnitiee
IS Of the opinion that it is not within the
power of Councils to direct the removal
of the tracks ; that Councils have the
right to prescribe any reasonable regula
tions in reference to the marline of cars;
that Councils have already prescribed reg
ulations as to the speed of cars and kind of
fuel Which shall be used; that said company
have violated the ordinance by 'using coal,
by running at a greater rate of speed than
that prescribed, and by unnecessarily stop
' ping upon the streets; that in the opinion of
the Committee a compliance with the ordi
nance would very greatly.abate the nuisan
ces and,remove the (muse of complaint, and
We therefore recommend that Councils di
rect the Mayor to see that the ordinances I
are strictly enforced.
In view of the very general expression
made by our merchants who are specially
interested in the matter, we would further
recommend that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company be requested, as soon as practica
ble, to remove the tracks _from Liberty
street and make other provision for the de
livery of city freight.
Resolved; That the Mayor is hereby re
quested to enforce all the ordinances in
reference to the running of railroad cars
within the city limits.
Mr. Gallaher moved, as a substitute for
the resolution, that the report be recommit
ted and the Committee be instructed to
prepare an ordinance prohibitintr the use of
locomotives on Liberty street.
A lengthy discussion ensued on the sub
ject, after which the substitute was ruled
out of order and a vote taken upon the res
olution and report of the Committee. The
report was received and the resolution
adopted.
Mr. Ogden submitted the following from
the same Committee :
Gentlemen: The undersigned mem
bers of the Railroad Committee, to which
was referred the petition of citizens In re..
ference to the violations of city ordinances
by the Allegheny Valley Railroad Com
pany, wouldd respectfully, report: That
having given notice to the parties inter
ested-and having heard allpersonn who de
sired to be heard, they are of the opinion
that upon some ccasions the provisions of
the ordinance in reference to the moving
of cars have been violated. As we have
already recommended in our report lit re
ference to the Pennsylvania Railroad, that
the. Mayor be instructed to enforce all the
ordinances in reference to the moving of
Cars within the - city limits, we do not think
any stecial action is required in this case.

Mr. MeEw , from. the Districting Com

re a po E rt NT : LEmmt
:"—in ' fiifferin i s from the
conclusion arr ed at. by a majority of your
Committee, th undersigned are deeply im
pressed with t e importance of the sub
ject and regret xceedingly- their inability
to agree with t colleagues In the forma
tion of the plan oftlie city about to be sub,
divided. for Yo riconsideration.
Thee hanges ptesed'are So radical, Par
ticularly In the nett of the old ten wards of
the city, that t ev destroy, to a very great
extent, the sad , local and political rela-
tions that have s long existed a mong the
people, whosewishes and interests should
always form the basis of legislation, with
out affording any compensatory advantages,
and are entirely uncalled for by considera
tions of public interest. We would, there
fore, recommend that no material change
be made in the ward lines of the old city.
With regard to new 'districts, there is no
question but that new lines will have to be
drawn and new wards' formed, but these
lines should be made as far as practicable
to the satisfaction - of the peoplelVho haVe
to live within thenv which, in many in
stances, 18 not the ciao in the plan offered
by the majority of this• Committee.
The proposed lines that have given dis
satisfaction are so numerous, and the
injustice of many of them so obvious, :that
we do not deem it necessary within
the limits of this report t le ave ahem tailed
statement of them, but •to.be
stated in the Council' Chambers by the
members from the districts themselves.
In conclusion; gentlemen, we ask you to
give this important_ matter your _careful
attention, satisfied that you will do nothing
that will work injustice to any portion of
the citizens of kittsburgb,,' Whilst we pro
test against the adoption,ef the plan of the

But few' of you hive` any - adeque4H
ception of the vast amount of medical hihor
performed by us.
In this, 'a most healthfhl city, several'
hundred physicians are daily employed,
yet our own_ physical abilities are taxed
almost beyond endurance to satisfy the de:
mends for our professional services.
;.On our books of record are the names of
more than sixty thousand (60,000) persorus
who have obtained medical advice and at- '
tendon.
Among' this vast number many euresof
the worst maladies hive been perfected•
without the patients having been seen or
visited. •
Over five hundred and fifty (550) cases
were treated by us during the last month
alone, among which a number of cures of
the folloWing diseases May be mentioned,
viz: Incipient Consumption, Liver Cbm
plaint, kicrofulis, Dropsy, Ridn_ey. Affec
tions, Dyspepsia, Rheumatism; Heart Di
sease, and many PemalS Complaints, Ner
vous Disorders, (to., 4tc.l
We treated all those Chronic Diseases
upon the most scientific principles of Uri
no -Pathology and Eiecticlsm.
We are able to detect
,the most obscure
diseases by ocular, chemical or micrGscopic
examination of the urine, and to prescribe
the remedies in accordance with the condi
tions discovered—hence the cures. •
Some of the patients treated during the
last month live hundreds of miles away.
Some reside in New York, some. in Phila
delphia, many in Eastern Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia.
Many of these forwarded specimens of ,
urine y express, and had the necessary
medicines sent them by the same convey-_,
ance.
This is the cheapest and best' 4 ilhiok-
The charge for examinations, prescriti
thins, and medicines furnished, range front
three to ten dollars.
.• We will now have the constant assistance
of Thomas L. Oldshue, M. D., who has been.
'educated for the profession under our owls
direction, and graduated at the Philadel
phia University of Medicine and Su.rgery.
: But for this assistance we would nolonger
be able to attend the constantly increasing ..
practice that is daily crowding upon us.
Respectfully, L. °mason.%
