REPORT OP THE MARKET COHNITTER.
Mr. McEwen, chairman of the Market
Committee, presented the following com
munication: ,
.The Market Committee have had un
der consideration the resolution of Coun
cils in relation to the location for a new
market house onFifth avenue, and the
plan and cost of building therefore.
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. The first tier
will cost 835,000, and'the second tierl3o.-
000, with the additign of such assessments
as the city may make for Street improve
ments, and can bs purchased on a credit
of seven years.
The plan of a new Market House, a
draft of which is herewith submitted, is
in general terms after the plan of the
Allegheny City Market House, and is es
timated to cost 818,000, which your Com
mittee deem ample for the purpose.
.While yoar Committee believe it would
be better for the interest of the city to
provide the moans from its own re
sources to erect the new Market House;
yet in view of the large amount necessa
ry for other needed improvements,
many members of Councils may not
deem it advisable at present to appropri
ate the amount required for this purpose,
your Committee are authorized to say
that several gentlemen propose to form a
company to furnish the amount necessa
ry to erect the buildings and look to the
income therefrom to reimburse them.
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..
Resolved, That the Market Committee
be authorized to form a company for the
purpose of furnishing the means for
building the new Market Home on Fifth
avenue, to be reimbursed out of the re
ceipts of said Market House; provided
the plan for the organization of said
'company be first submitted to Councils
and approved by them.

after which the motion was carried.
THE WATER QUESTION.
Mr. Houston moved a suspension oft e
rules in order that action might be taken
on the report of the Committee on Water,
as presented frail Select Council. Car
ried.
The report of the Water Committee
was called for, but could not be found;
The Clerk stated that it had not been re
ceived from Select Council.
While waiting; Mr. Reed moved to

carried.
Mr. Weldon presented an ordinance
for grading and paving Johnson's alley,
which was laid over under the rules.

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

the question.
Mr. Penney thought this a very good
method of killing. the matter. 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.

- 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.

is'as much superior to every other tre
molo as Ole Bull's playing is to an or
dinary country fiddler's. The furniture
is one of its most beautiful features, be

elegantly decorated with carvings, and
furnished with a row of gilt organ pipes,
EIS as to, give it the appearance of a regu
lar pipe organ. It is altogether one of
the mcst perfect instrument we have
ever seen, beautiful In tone and touch,
and unique in appearance, and it would
be a decided addition to the parlor,
drawing room or library of some of the
palaces of our meronans princes. By all
means go to see it, at Mellor & Hoen's

At the regular weekly meeting of the
Pittsburgh Baptist Ministers' Social Con
ference, held at 96 Fourth avenue, Sep
tember 27th 1869, it was
.Resolved, That we heartly commend
the object of "The National .Association
for Publishing Literary and Musical
Works for the Blind" of which Mr. H. L.
Hall is the only authorized agent, and
in consideration of the fact that publish
ers generally do not publish, and can
not, with profit, publish works specially
for the blind, we commend the above
named association to the benevolence of
all who sympathize with this unfortu
nate class of our fellow beings—the blind—
as one of the beat possible means of
ameliorating their condition and en
abling them to support themselves.
