Mr. Long asked for infinriation In :F.
erenco to the nature of the suits.
Mr. Megraw explained that high and
low water lines hadtbeen established for
the river. That certain persons on the
Pittsburgh side, the owners of mills, had
tilled up about seventy or eighty feet
over the established line. He wished to
know if any dotinite adieu - bad been
taken or could bo taken to make these
parties comply with the law. They had
boon sued. and the matter had been put
off from time to time for several years.
Mr. Long suggested that perhaps Li
lo betty City had no right to compel
sburghers to comply with lawn.
i t

test. If the parties who had been'eueti,
Messrs. Zug Jr, Co l , wore made to comply
th the law then, all the others owning,
with
on either side woold be settled. /
Mr. McNeill thought there was no
doubt about the law, but there seemed
to be an "extreme delicacy with. the So

Solicitor was "stirred up" a little tiow,
he would soon Dill back into the old

The resignation was accepted and the
Mayor instructed to issue his proclama
tion for a special election to fill the va
oancy.
THE LIBRARY AGAIN.
In the buainesa from Select Connell a
resolution in reference tothe library was
called up.
Mr. McNeill moved to recede from for
mer ,action and concur in the action of
Select Council, in authorizing the con
struction of a room for the City Engineer
by'an alteration in the Common Council
chamber according to a plan prepared by
the architects, thus allowing the Library
the continued use of the room, which
they now occupy. '0
Mr. Megraw contended the room was
needed by the City Engineer, and that
the library room was the only one which
would suit him. He thought the Coun
cils bad no right to take a room out of
he city building and donate it for the use
of a private organization. As to the argu
ment that it was a good institution and
for the benefit of the poor mechanics and
similar persons this was altogether a
mistake. It was only a place for young
men who could go there "fixed up," and
was no beneht at alt to any_ othera,
Mr. Bic - Soil' Owned this was one of
its great recommendations. If it in
duced young men to “hx. up," and en
couraged them in such a practice. it was
worth all the mere pittance which had
been or would be expended in keeping
it up. If knowledge by ft was dissemi
nated among young people, and a place
of instruction and amusement thus af
forded them, it was certainly worthy the
support which it asked.
Mr. Hanna said the city needed a room
for one of its officials,
the room was in
the building, -and the question' was
whether it would be taken. The propos
ed alteration would cost at least $2,00 0 .
It had always been an' important ques
tion how the Treasury of the city could
be guarded. He thought this was a
point which should be considered in the
matter.
Mr. Warner said if the room was
taken from the Library a vault would
have to be bulityand then the City Con
troller's office would be destroyed by the
foundation of the vault.
Mr. Price favored the proposed altera
tion. He thought the Library should be
encouraged, and made a strong appeal in
its favor
Othor remarks were made by Messrs.
Hanna: Megraw, Warner and PdeNelll,
when the yeas and nays Were called, With
the following result : yeas 11, nays 6,
So the , action of Select Connell was non
concurred in.
Council then adjourned.
The New Market Liouee.
MESSRS. EDITORS: For a long time the
citizens of the upper portion of the city
have been awaiting some action in the
matter of a new market house, and now
that it has come up before Councils, they
earnestly hope it will be promptly acted
upon. The 'question of a site was of
course the first to be settled. This, the
Committee to whom the matter was. re
ferred, have, very satisfactorily decided
in their recommendation of the "Lyons
Lot," on Pennsylvania avenue.' which
meets with the hearty approval of a large
majority of the interested parties. There
is no question but that a market is abso
lutely needed in this section of the city,
and as , this is the most central
for that reason it is certainly the most
eligible and proper site. It is right in
the heart of one of the most populous eec
,tions of the city, residents of• which are
now paying nearly as much for transpor
tation of their purchases from the
market in the Diamond, as would sus
tain the proposed new enterprise. The
ground is offered at a very reasonable
price. much less than it could easily be
sold for if disposed of in lots, and if it is
not secured now, another year will un
questionably find the price considerably
advanced. The citizens of the Sixth,
Seventh. Eighth, Eleventh and Thir
teenth wards and those in the rapidily
growing precincts, out towards East
.Liberty. who are especially- inter
ested in this matter. are satisfied perfect
ly with this location, and are ;anxious to
have'tbe market house erected thereon.
As they wilt be its -patrons, and as such
its support,' certainly their pfeferencs is
worthy of consideration. •Andther point
not to be overlookdd is the undoubted
fact that a market holies* mast betbilt
in this neighborhood sooner or later, and
the sooner it is done, the more favorable
the terms can bef triage. !'","4 • 4

Meeting of the littiliruatt Committee of

Grouting the Hight of Way to the
ComaeWyllie RlOlrood.
A meeting of _the Committee of Conn-
le on Railroads was held at the Mayor's
oil yesterday afternoon, to take into
tons ration the matter of granting to
the Con eLleyifle Railroad Company the
right of w y through the city, to enable
said Companto make connections. The
meeting was called to order by Mr. Og-
den, Chairman ot he Committee, at half
paid ten o'clock.
REPORT OF THE 8 • COMMITTEE..
Mr. Edwards, from the üb,ommittee,
appointed at a previous npiptir,g, to in
\
vostigate the matter and as rtain the
best route over which to make nett con
nection and report to the Co mittee,
submitted the following:
Genflemes: The undersigned Sub-Com
mittee, appointed to take into considers\
i t
tion and prepare ordinance, granting
to the Connellav lie Railroad such right
of way as would able it to make west
ern connections, respectfully report: Af
ter a full and careful examination and
Inquiry respecting the propriety of al
lowing the said road right of way through
the city by way of Cherry alley, your
Coontuttee cam to the conclusion that,
the grUnting of map right would be in
imical to the i Wrests of the city and
property hold and the use of such
route dangerous to life and generally ob
noxious to citizens.
The feeling of this Committee, as indi
cated at the last meeting, seemed to be
against it also. and we therefore turned
our attention in search of another route
that would be' more favorable and less
inconvenient and dangerous. After a
careful examination and full investiga
tion, your Committee unanimously de-
cided upon the Water street route, which
had before been referred to in the Com
mittee. By this route but - little, if any
damage, will be done to property and bu
siness usual to the wharf, and Water
street will be impeded to an extent
' hardly appreciable, while the shipping
and steamboat interests, as we believe,
will be greatly benefite d. Indeed to our
own knowledge, the simple extension of
the railroad down Water street has been
asked by steamboatmen and merchants.
The Committee, however, looked
further and look into consideration
the demand of the oil trade and
other interests on Duquesne Way
for increased and better railroad facili
ties, an examination* convinced us that
If at.all practicable,-the extension of the
road;up .Duquesne Way so as to form
connections with the Allegheny Valley,
and other roads, especially the former.
would be of immense importance and
benefit, and of yearly increasing interest
to the city and I her manufactures and
trade. This, in addition to the construc
tion of the proposed bridge at the Point,
is worthy of careful consideration. Your
Committee, has had an ordinance pre
pared by the City Solicitor in accordance
with the wiews herein briefly expressed.
This ordinance -, we respectfully submit,
and ask that it be given that attention
which the importannce of the matter
demands.
The accompanying ordinance was read.
It provides for the construction of a road
down Water street to the Point and
thence to the Allegheny Valley railroad
depot, via. Duquesne Way, and it re
qufrft that the connection oe made with
in one year after the acceptance of the
ordinance by said company.
After considerable discussion the re
port of the sub-Committee was adopted.
and the ordinance will be recommended
to Col: molls for consideration.
Several communications from Mr.
Hughart were read, relative to the pro•
posed connections.
On motion of Mr. Kirk it was resolved
to hold the meetings of the Committee at
night. ,
On motion adjourned. -

Fire Yesterday Morning
Yesterday morning between two and
three o'clock, fire was discovered in the
studding separating the National Hotel
building, No. 184 Ohio street, Allegheny,
from the adjoining house.. The inmates
of the hotel and house were quickly
aroused, and a hole cut in the roof of the
hotel,when the tire was subd ued,not,how
ever, without considerable difficulty, bv ,
the firemen. The buildings were deluged,
with wator,suffering
_more from this cause
than the fire. The National was owned
and occupied by Samuel Gmber, who
loot es about sl,6oo,which is covered by in
surance. M. ; G. Herman occupied the ad

his goods from wet& r, about 51.500. His
insurance. in the Franklin, Citizens .and
Pennsylvania Insurance Companies upon
home, furniture and goods, amounts to
53,800.
The origin of the fire is unknown. It
was first discovered by one of the board
'der% who raised the alarm. Mr. Herman
was aroused by a night watchman acid
experienced considerable difficulty in
resetting his family from suffocation, the
premises being entirely tilled with
smoke. At one time the fire raged with
great fierceness, and fears of an extensive
conflagration - were entertained, which,
however, was prevented thiough the en

Care of the Watell.
1. Do not make a toy of it for yourself
or the children. Never open it eicept
for necessary purposes.
2. It should be regulated to about
mean temperature, and always kept as
near the same temperature aspossible.
3 It should not be allowed to stop.
Better that. it should be kept running all
the time.
4. Seep It in as uniform a piAltion as
possible. If in the pocket, better that the
pendent ring be upright.
5. Out of the pocket; if it bang on the
wall; let it be on some soft surface.
Never allow it to lie on bare marble or
other hard surface. If it lie on any sur
face, let it be with face up and pendent
ring turned under, so as to keep tne up
per part most elevated.
6. Let your key fit ex.etly, and be
kept perfectly clear. By the former you
may save breaking chains, mainsprlngs,
ratchets, clicks, by the latter, pre
vent introducing much dust. .
Wind, if possible, at the same hour
each day.
8. While 'winding, bold you watch
steadily in your left hand. Turn only
your key, and that firmly, evenly, avoid
ing all quick motions or jerks.
9. Set your watch with a key; never
turn the hands by any other way. You
may turn the hands either way without
danger. if they do notmove very hard.
10. Oa regulating a watch, should it be
going too fast, move the zegulator a trifle
toward the ‘`slow, l '; and if going slow, do
the reverse; you cannot move the regula
tor too-gently at time; and the Only in-
convenience that cat arise is, that you
may have' to perform that duty more than
once. '
1.1. Take note that your watch, even'
a good one, will sometimes be guilty of
"irregularities" in consequence of change
of temperatare, from the effects of which
none but a chronometer is exempt; also
from the jerks and jars of travel'.

do not understand, go at nice to a good

TICE people who have visited Niagara
this season have noticed a very marked
change in the appearance of the Horse
Shoe as well as tio,Americtui Falls. The
former has evidey given way almost'
thirty or forty• feet in that part of the
cone where the water looks so green, on
the side nearest Goat Island, and it is es
timated by geologists that from one to
two hundred tons of rock must have fal
len. This has not marred the appearance •
of the Falls. It i s now a settled fact be
yond question th•ii I Niagara does cave in
some each year,
and the changewhich
has taken place this summer is probably
the most extensive in the recollection of
the present generation:
—At a meeting held at St. Louis Wed
nesday, to consider how the one hun
dredth anniversary of the birth of Hum
boldt Shall be celebrated on. Sept. 14th, it
was decided to have a festival, with
music and Orations in the different lan
guages. A_ proposition was also dis
cussed to establish a Vivarian, such as
has been erected in Hamburg and Berlin,
in memoriam of the great naturalist.
A Vivarian is a house of considerable
extent, in which-species of the most in
teresting living animals from all parts.of
the world are kept in a condition which
comes as near as possible tb the real
mode of life in their natnal state. The
heavy cost of such an institution pre
vented the adoption of the proposition,
and the subject was referred to a com
mittee for further action.
—Just . as the train WM leaving the de
pot at Quincy, 111., on the Toledo, Wa
bash & Western Railroad, a watchman
assisted an intoxicated man In a car.
When the train was fairly in motion, the
man attempted to pass from one car to.
another, fell beneath the train , and was
torn to pieces. Nothing was found on
Le body to give any clue to the man's
a or whence be came, but it is be
his name is Lynch.
