Your Committee , would respectfully ask Councils toigivis them authority to purchase the "Lyon Property" fronting 247 feet on Fifth avenue, the first tier of lots extending 120 feet along Miltenber ger street to Beech alley, and the second tier of lots extending from Beech alley to Forbes street 120 feet.

We would respectfully recommend the adoption of the following resolutions: Reselved, That the Market Committee be authorized to purchase the two tiers of lots fronting on Fifth avenue known as the "Lyon property," at the%rate of $35,000 for the front tier of lots, end 530,000 for the second tier, and that they be authorized to procure such legislation as may be , necessary to enable the city to make the purchase..

Council reconsidered their action on the ordinance for public sewer on Forty eighth street, which was then read three times and passed. Another excitement occurred in refer. ence to the Water Committee's report, motions to adjourn and proceed with business following each other in bewi'- dering succession. It appeared that the Clerk of the Select Council had only brought In the ordinance, not expecting that the report would be called for. 'Die paper was not in either chamber and had to be sent for to the Clerk's office. Upon learning this circumstance Mr. Hare moved to send back the ordinance to Select Council, with a request to have all tha papers in the case properly re ported.

He thought it a matter of great importance and was satisfied at the late hour, it could not receive that consideration whici , it demanded. He thought it ought to be 'dispersed of but not in a hasty manner. The question was raised whether Com mon Council could adjourn to any spec. Hied time without the concurrence of Se lect Council, when the - Chair decided that such an adjournment would have no force. Atterponsiderable discussion further, a motion was made to adjourn which was carried by a large majority. he The Altoona Park ABSOCiatiOlell first annual meeting takes place September 28th, 29th. 30th and October Ist.

She was at tended at her residence by Dr. Donnelly. Tho Hope Cotton Mill, Allegheny In Ashes Lusa 15150,000 -- Insurance slls,ooo—List of the Companies in - w hien inanred. Yesterday morning an alarm of fire came from Allegheny city, and as it was learned by Wief Hare of our Depart mentthat the conflagration promised to be quite 'a serious one, our steamers were called out to assist in staying. the /fiery element. On repairing to th e place we found the extensive Hope Cotton Factory in a blaze and much bey nd the power of the combined fire Depa manta of both cities to cheek toe progre s of the flames, and their attention ha to be directed towards; saving the a oining property which was in imminent anger. The factory belonging to A. H. Childs & Co., was a large and well a anted building filled with valuable in hinery used in the naanufacture of s a mless grain bags, cotton yarns, batt ng and other articles' pcsriar to the tr. de. It was located in he Fourth W rd and o Canal streets. The m an building, live stories bounded by L ck, Hope an, high fronted on anal St., and from it an extensive three ory wing diverged to wardsl the river, n addition built about a year ago at a ost of some fifty thou sand dollars. other two story wing extended back t Lacock Street. In the rear of the main uildlng was the engine room, a low brt k structure, and adjoin ing this was t e carding room. The property was quite extensive, covering a large area, and as destruction entails a very heavy loss to the proprietors.. Owing to the scarcity or stock the fac tory has not been in operation since last Friday, although a large invoice of cotton was to have been received on Saturday, which, however, did not arrive, and in consequence of the disappointment the factory was idto. It seems that Mr. S. H. Cottril, the manager of the factory, entered the gearg room for the purpose of overseeing s me wont that was going forward in the department, having in his hand an open ' lamp. In order to have better light he ordered a trap door overhead to be opened and in so doing a fragment of cotton FlRM rated with oil was precipitated, falling on the lamp and Igniting. The combusti ble nature of the oil saturated cotton prevented the tire being put out although strenuous exertions were made to that effect, and the flames conducted by the current of air following the belts, rapidly sped to the upper stories of the building and soon the whole factory was beyond 'redemption. So rapidly sped 1 the fire, that it was with difficulty that Mr. A. IL Childs, one of the proprietors saved the books in the counting room desks - and locked the safe, the heat and smoke compelling a hasty retreat on his part. It is highly probable that the valuable papers and books in the safe will be found secure and uninjured when the iron doors alien be forced open. The fire depart , manta of both cities were promptly, on the ground and rendered very efficient services, although their exertions did not save the entire build ing iron falling, a prey to I the fiery elements. So rapid was I the headway of the flames that lied the factory been in operation with its numerous employes'at work, the loss of life most have been fearful, as escape was cut off from the upper stories almost immediately after the starting of the tire. The main building together with the new wings were totallAdestroyed, while the wing extending to Lacock street was badly damaged. 1 _ c i , A small amount of stock and .a very few loom frames were sav d, but that was all. Trouble was antic i pated from the failing of the walls, but the danger. ous portions were palled d wn as soon as possible without accident. A large quantity of lumber belonging to Messrs. Barker .t Buffurri, was piled l i on Canal street, and was in Area danger, but escaped destruction. The welling of Mr. T. J. Christian, a two.sto y frame house, stands between the mill and 'MA river bank, and was in linmine danger, but was saved by the untiring ironic:ma of the firemen and the citizens. His fur- niture was ail removed across the rail road with trifling damage. ld. The Hope Mill belonged to .lessrs. A. H. Childs & Co., the firm being i composed of A. H. Childs, H. Childs, T. . Howe, the estate of J. H. Childs and .T. Ken nedy. The mill ran eighzy-eight bag l' ,looms and eighteen others. he total loss la estimated at 5150,000 parts of which is on stock.
