SPECIAL MEETINGS-DIsCUssIN TIE
NEW REsERYOIR sUHJECT.

NEW HESEhNOIR SUBJECT.
Yesterday afternoon, the City Coun-
Gil met at tina new reservoir lot, and
after examining it carefully, particu-
larly the upper portion, where the
consulting engineer proposed to con-
struct q reservoir smaller than the one
first agreed upon, adjourned to meet
at ~ o'clock. p. NJ, in the Council
chamber. g..
At the appointed hour Council re-
assembled, Mr.. Pickels, in the absence
of President Maris, occupying the
chair.
The Ordinance relative to the grades
at Water and French streets and the
p. w. & b. r. r., was passed, Mr.
Farrell alone voting in the negative.
By way of opening the reservoir
subject, Mr.. William NJ. Candy moved
that Mr.. Morris plan of constructing a
smaller reservoir be adopted.
Mr.. Febiger opposed the motion in
an hours speech. He said the engin-
eer in his estimate of tho supplying
powers of the proposed hasin, had not
estimated high enough for the daily
consumption, nor had he taken into
consideration Brandywine, East Will
mington, South Wilmington and other
suburbs, which were to be supplied
with water from the new basin.
Mr.. William M. Candy followed
He said that during the last sixteen
years our city had doubled in popula-
tion. Allowing the same ratio of in
crease for the next sixteen years, the
proposed basin would then contain o.
days supply, and in 80 years, 81 days
supply. He also said that in case the
large reservoir was built, it would not
supply Riddls Banks, and other dis
tant suburbs, and ut the end of the II
or SO years new reservoir would have
to be built anyway. He favored
constructing the smaller reservoir
having division wall, so as to form
a distributing and receiving basin.
Mr.. Febiger said this dividing plar
was tried in constructing the reservoir
at Tenth and Market streets, but thai
it did not give satisfaction.
Mr.. William M. Candy said tina,
the engineers plan was an entirely
new one, and would ohviate all exist
ing objections.
Mr.. Hayes arose to speak, but ut thi,
juncture u motion to adjourn unit
Monday evening, at n O'Clock was
made and carried.

FIRST. EDITION
The RatsrOad Conference.

IMPORTANT MEETING OF RAILROAD OFF,
CIALs-REGULATIoN OF THROUGH RATES
&c.
The railroad party which passed
through here on a special train, Thurs
day morning, held conference, the same
afternoon, ut the Mount Vernon Hotel,
Baltimore. with John w. Garrett and
John King, Jr., President and Vice Pres
ident OF the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.
The gentleman named went to Balti-
more for the purpose of comforting with
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad authori-
ties, with the view of securing the COOP
Grafton OF that road in carrying out the
compact known as the Saratoga agree
ment, which was made at Saratoga
Springs on the Goth end 3Oth of last July,
and entered by number of Western
Railroads, and all the trunk lines from
East to West, except the Baltimore &
Ohio, and various other Eastern Rail-
roads.
The leading feature of the compact was
the formation of bureau, consisting of
seven commissioners, men experienced
in railway affairs, and in no way connect
ed with the lines represented in the COM
pact, whose duty should be to regulate
and establish through rates for the trans
portation OF passengers and freight over
the several lines between competitive
points, East and West, in conjunction
with the Eastern bureau of commission
ers, who represented the so-called trunk
lines OF the country lying east of Buffalo,
Pittsburg and the Ohio river, Excepting
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which
was not represented in the conference.)
These commissioners were given almost
unrestricted power, being authorized TO
assess each road an amount pro rata ac-
cording to the gross income of that
company, for salary and expenses; and
the roads promised to discharge any Off
Ger who failed in conforming to the reg
ulations adopted by the commissioners.
Tho commissioners were also empower
cd to abolish all outside commission agen-
cies, both freight and passenger, except
the organized fast freight lines, and were
authorized to examine all books and pa
pers of any company at any time. Should
any limo fail in tho agreement, the COM
missioners were to refuse through bills of
landing OF tickets to or from that line.
The discussion of this feature and the
cliciting OF expression from the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad officials regarding it,,
was the main object of the conference,
and the conclusion arrived at was that
while the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company declined subscribing to the
general agreement, it avowed its willing
ness to cooperate in all reforms and
economies, such as the abolition of COM
missions on tickets and rebates on freights
in order that the expenses of conducting
railroad tbusiness might be reduced to q
minimum.
As regards the matter of the commits
sions on tickets, it appears it had been
carried so far that any parties bringing
passengers to railroad, even hackmen,
were allowed the commissions, and in
many cases very large ones. There lad
also grown up what was aptly termed
seal ping" Offices, established by individ-
uals for the sale Of tickets.
The total actual result OF the confer
ence is that it is agreed to abolish all
commissions on tickets and draw backs on
freights.

ANOTHER New SHIp.--Mr. David I.ank
has taken contract to build another yes-
sci Of about 600 tons burthen. She is to
be built for parties in Philadelphia, and
will be finished in the best manner. This
will make three ships on the stocks dur
ing the winter, which number will furn-
ish work for many Of our ship carpenters,
though the wages may be somewhat less
than usual. The depressed condition of
the freighting business has very much
