THE PITTSBURG CALAMITY.-A mes.
sage was received from the Governor i'm both
Houses his morning, transmitting a commu-
nlcatlon from a committee appointed by the
Mayor and Council of Pittsburgh, to proceed
to this place and arrest the adjournment OF
the Legislature, with a view TO obtain some
Legislative aid amid the overwhelming ca
lamity which ON Thursday last has rendered
houseless and pennyless many thousands of
our fellow citizens in that cnterprising, in
dustrious, and lately furnishing community.
in HOUSE-Mr. Cooper read in place a
bin for the relief of the city of Pittsburgh.
The Bill appropriates the sum of Soc, 900
out OF the State Treasury for the relief of the
suffering, suspends the cancellation of relief
notes, releases the State and County taxes of
the sufferers for the present year, and the
years 1916, AZ aud as, and RENTS the licens-
es taxed upon dealers in merchandise whose
establishments have been destroyed. The bill
was forthwith taken up and passed by a unan-
imous vote.
RAIL ROAD.-The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Bill has been the subject of debate
inns morning. The bill is on second reading,
ana the discussion, involving the merits of
the bill, is upon the indefinite postponement
OF me subJect-a motion made this morning
by MIR. kunkel. The bill was advocated by
Nlessrs. Cooper, Bigham, McCartin, Burrill
ana othcrs, and opposed by Messrs. kunkel,
Burnside, Brady, Bayard, and the vote being
taken, the bill was indefinitely postponed

est, now to commence and prosecute their
work to the Ohio river, through the route laid
down by the Virginia law? That law is, in
all respects, the law for which the Company
asked, except in regard to its termination.-
That termination is the most favorable they
could have. Now the question is, whether
t"e Ps"r' ~""rore, VINO ur7-irravy spoch-
holders IN that company, will suffer the losses
tha' they are now sustaining, to make further
appeals, which must be hopeless, to ~legisla-

blow that will not fail TO give them a pron,i-
nence among cities thatn o delay or hesitation
