IN the built mp portions of the city held another
session in this city on Saturday afternoon The
Germantown road was the one under oOnsidera-
uon. The committee met last Wednesday, at II r-

next saturday, II is probable that their business
will be completed, far as the taking of testimony
is concerned. The evidence on Saturday was this:
Michael Price, ST. deposed that ne has coal

jury to the business community; witness would
then be compelled to follow the road or draw the
lime by horse and cart; for building purposes the
value Of property along Ninth street is certainly
detpriora ted but for business IL is enhan ced
W. J. p White, sworn-Has lived at Tioga Sta
tion Tor 1--we years; If the railroad was removed
west of Broad street his property would decline
in value about twenty-five per cent never saw
any accident on the road during the time he has
ridden on it, the road was an immense convenience
to the business community; the running of steam
engines is benefit to the city; believe that more
accidents happened on passenger rail ways tnan
on steam that more danger would result from a
rain of cars drawn by horses on the steam road
than by a locomotive.
q j. Warner testified that he had lived at S1s and
$50 Green street for thirty years; the Ninth
street are of no inconvenience or detriment 10 his
comfort; his business would be interfered with
very much by the removal of the depot in 1880 the
property he occupies was bought for $500, and
purchased in 1852 for $500; for ten years witness
had known of 10 accident; hagmen stationed
at the corner Of Ninth and Green streets
Daniel Maule testified that he lives In German
town; have travelled over the road about thou
sand times; know of no accident within seven or
eight years. heard OF remonstranCe of the people
of Germantown against the cars rnnning through
Germantown; if horses were EN- ployed there would
be more danger, from the fact that children would
be jumping off and on.
Mr.. Grfiths testified that he lives in the vicinity
of railroad at Nicetown; have ridden the road
for several years; my objection to the road reck
essness at times; they run sometimes at the rate of
twenty miles, which makes it very dangerous.

DESTRUCTION OF A LARGE BREwE RY.-
About hali-past Z o'clock yesterday morning,
a ire broke out at Charles Ritmeyer5 lager beer
brewery, situated at Seventeenth and Hamilton
streets, and the building and contents were
damaged to the extent of about $4,000. The
brewery is a large three-story brick building,
40 by l25 feet in extent The fire originated in
the naltroum on the lower floor. This malt
room is a tIe-proof apartment, which extends
up to the third story. The foreman was in the
malt-room about a quarter Of an hour before
the fre broke out, and as he again opened the
door the flames burst out on him with great
force.
He quickly shut the fre-proof, when the
flames immediately sped up ito the third story
and set fire to about seven thousand bushels of
malt, stored there for the purpose OF making
'buck beer" This malt was all destroyed. but
the fire did not get beyond the third story.
There was no lager beer destroyed, although
there were two thousand barrels in the vaults,
but some of the machinery was injured. The
tiremen hadigreat difficulty in reaching the fire,
or else the damage would not have been as eX
tensive as it was. There was an insurance of
$4,000 on the malt and machinery in the
Peoples, Spring Garden, and Royal Insurance
companies, al d the building was insured iu the
FIRE Association. The establishment will be
enabled to resume business in "a few days.
