The New Market• Muse—Meeting of
the Market Committee.
The Market Committee of City Coun
cils held a meeting last evening in the
office of Superintendent Kilgore, City
Hall. There were present Messrs. An
derson, Caakey, Daub, Littell, Potts,
Houston, and McEwen, Chairman. Mr.
Anderson, from special grab-committee;
appointed to ascertain the cost of a new
market building on Fifth avenue, re
ported a carefully drawn plan prepared
by Mr. John B. Geyser, architect, some
what after the style of the Allegheny
Diamond market. Its total length will
be 180 feet, by 100 feet wide. The height
of the main roof will be thirty feet, and
forty-five feet to top of large yentilator
in tile center, twelve feet wide, cross
ing the full width of the building.
The main roof will be abundantly
supplied with skylights and ventilators.
The interior of the building will affsrd
four offices or coffee houses, one on each
corner, eighty meat stalls, and sixty
vegetable stands, besides broad aisles,
and a neat fountain place if desired. Ex
teriorly the building will be the same as
the Allegheny Market House. Its cost
will approximate 418,000. Mr. McEwen,
the chairman, stated that the Allegheny
Market House was erected in 1864, when
prices for labor and material were much
higher than now, at a cost of $29,060.81,
It covers an area two hundred feet square
End is ornamentally finished.
Provided ,Councils conclude to pur
chase the site offered on Fifth avenue
and Miltenberger street, it is highly
probable that a market company , of citi
zens will offer to erect the building on
their own risk, and only asking legal
interest on the investment, will wait for
a return of the investment when the
.new place pays for itself. However, it is
hardly probable that Councils will per
mit the erection, except under the imme.
diets and direct auspices of the city.
The present market' in the Diamond is
now • yielding a net revenue yearly
of 136,000 to the cityltreasury, and it is
thought the new market house wilt an
nually yield fully one third that amount
from the start.
The committee adjourned after trans
acting some other business of minor im
portance.

Resolutions Adopted—Mass Convention
last Evening—Addresses in English
and German.
The International Convention of Jour
neymen Tailors reassembled yesterday
morning at 9 o'clock, pursuant to ad
journment, and was called to order by
the President. The minutes of the pre
ceding meeting were read and approved.
Mr. Morstard presented the report of
the Committee on Resolutions, which
was referred back to the Committees.
Three of the resolutions related to the
death of Mr. William H. Sylvia, Presi
dent of the Labor Union, which was de-
Ured m a great loss to the Trades'
nions and the age. The remaining res
olutions referred to the progress that has
been made by the trade, and promised
the support of the International;Union to
Local 'Unions, where they strike with
good reason, for advance of wages or
against reduction of wages.
A Committee appointed to inquire into
the various important matters before the
Convention, reported at length in regard
to a refusal of the President to answer
certain questions put to him.
Mr. Morstard moved the adoption of
the following: -
Resolved, That the Secretary make a
quarterly statement to every local Union
in regard to membership. funds in the
hands of the International Union, and
the general aspect of trade. Adopted.
Mr. Killen offered a resolution tending
toward the abolition of the Board of
Trustees. It was referred back to the
cal Unions. - -
Mr. Bissert offered the following:
Resolved, That the Convention regards
the statutes which empowers Justices of
thereace to send workmen to prison,
with hard labor, for breaking contracts
of service, as a grievous injustice and
wholly unsuited to the present state of
civilization, and will endeavor to pro
cure a repeal of the same by co-operating
with other kindred associations and by
such other means as may be requisite.
Mr. Houghendobler said this was at
question of politics, and was opposed to
its introduction before the Convention.
Mr. Walsh said this resolution would
- show at least that the workingmen de
sire.as much fair play as the capitalists,
and, therefore, he was in favor of its
adoption by the Convention.
Mr. McCole gave several instances of
the oppresive character of the laws which
at present govern Massachusetts.
The resolution was passed. The fol

Pursuant to a public call the delegates
,and others assembled in mass conven
tion, last evening, at the ball hi the build
ing No. 182 Smithfield street. There was
a good attendance, and considerable in
terest was manifested in the proceedings.
Mr. Walter Fairburn. President of the
Tailor's International Union, was called
on to preside. Mr. Fairburn made a brief
speech, in which he recommended the
immediate formation of a Tailors' Union
in this city.. He said he would not make
a lengthy speech, but would say to the
tailors of this city that as soon as they bad
formed themselves into a Union they
would be taken care of by;the Interns
tional Union. The President closed by
introducing to the Convention
Mr. Blisset, of New York, who first ad
dressed the meeting in the English lan
guage, after which he delivered an ad
dress in the German, In his English
addrese, the speaker urged the impor
ilium of the journeymen tailors coal
bluing together for mutual protection.
He contrasted the condition of the tai
lors to that of the bricklayers and other
mechanics, who have unions, showing
that the tailors worked more hours and
received lower wages for their labor
than any other class of mechanics. By
the establishment of unions the wages
would be advanced and their hours re
duced. As long as the tailors hesitate d
to take such steps for their own protec
tion,they would remain in a state worse
than slavery. He closed by urging upon
every man present, 'Who would not be
tied to a needle and thread for sixteen
hours a day to enroll his name for the
purpose of establishing a Union in Pitts
burgh. The remarks of the speaker
were received with great applause.
Mr. Morstad, of New York, next ad
dressed the Convention in German. His
speech was attentively listened to, and
elicited much applause. He closed by
calling upon the journeymen tailors of
this city to enroll their names for the
establishment of a local Union. Nearly
all present responded to the call.
Mr. Bilmet delivered a speech in Ger
man, after which the Convention ad
journed.
The Committee appointed to fix upon
a time and place for holding the meeting
of the International Union next year,

Mr. Thaw, of the firm of Clark &
Thaw, was robbed of his pocket-book,
containing .275 and a number of valu
able paperA, yesterday, while making
some purchases in the store of Weldon
& Co., Wood street. Mr. Thaw, after
purchasing some articles, took his
pocket-book from his pocket for the pur
pose of paying for the articles, when his
attention was called to something on the
opposite side of the counter,
and for the
purpose of examanimng it 'he passed
around the counter. leaving his pocket
book lying on the showcase. At this In
atant a stranger came into the store and
stated that he wished to purchase a back
gammon board, but would call in again,
and immediately walked out in a hur
ried manner. Soon, atter the stranger
left the store Mr. Thaw came round the
counter to take up his pocket-book; but
discovered that it had been taken. Sus
picion, of course, attached to the
stranger, as he was the only person who
had left the store during the time Mr.
Thaw was in. The police were immedi
ately notified of the stralr, and a discrip
tion of the man given. Mr. Mason, a
member of the thin, is confident tha t
can Identify the man if he should see him.
