A special meeting Of Council was hold
at the City Building last evening. The
Second Branch was in session Tor over two
houra and half and the Firs. Branch wau
In session about half an hour. A joint
session lastiug about half m hour was also
held. Taking into consideration every.
thing that was done, there waa Ices bust.
ness transacted than at any meeting OF
Council held Tor long time. The idea in
calling the special meeting was to dispose
OF large amount Of business, principally
tho proposed 500, 900 loan ordinance and
also TO consider tho F., w. ( Ky. and Ohio
River roads ordinance, as the roads
deslres 1t to DO passed. It WAS
discovered, however, before the
Second Branch convened, that section
"a OF the Act Of Incorporation stipulated
that when the Council OF any city ehall
deem 1t oxpedient to iasuo such bonds es 1t
Is now proposed to issue, an ordinance
specifying the purposo and amount for
| which said bonds are TO be Issued shall be
adopted in regular meeting, etc. The ordi.
nance now before Council was introduced
and read over at the last regular meeting
OF Council, but alter q short discussion il
was deem advisable, In order to BIZ on the
sale side, to postpone action until next
Tuesday night, when a regular meeting
will be held. The ordinance will then be
/ read for smondmeutandp probably adopted.
The Pittsburgh, Wheeling 4 Kentucky
ordinance as drafted by that company and
tho Ohio River company, with few
amendments made by the Railroad Com.
mi!tee to which 1t was referred by Council
at it's last meeting, was taken up by the
Second Branch alter a discussion rs to
whether 1t WAS properly before the body.
Tho committee, alter making what changes
1t deemed necessary, passed a resolution
asking the railroad company to have the
entire ordinance once moro reprinted,
which the company did. The ordinance,
pamphlet oil twenty.Bevon pages, was laid
on the Clerks desk unacCompanied by any
report, and II copy WAS furnished each
member. The discussion aroBe over the
fact that there WIS no reportirom the com.
m!ltee. Dol. Wilkinson, chairman Of the
committee, stated that the ordinance wns
intended to be submitted by the commit.
tee without recommendation. After the
committee and its clerk had been scored
for not making report tho ordinance was
taken up and read once. Mr.. w. Il.
Hesrne then asked for aud was granted
permission to addres, Council. He appear.
ed rs counsel for the Wheeling & liar.
risburg and launched strong philippe
against the ordinance and the Pittsburgh,
Wheeling & Kentucky road. The points he
went over IS Objectionable were the same
that have been repeatedly urged OH the
Council by the Wheeling & Harrisburg
representatives. Mr.. usarne ssid last night
that while financial troubles in New York
had for time set back the Wheeling &
Harrisburg, 1t would only be short time,
he hoped, until it would give out It's con.
tracts. = e2. ,ysa i
President Hubbard and Attorney Barr,
Of the Pittsburgh, Wheeling 4 Kentucky,
replied that that they thought it would
have been in better taste for Mr.. Hearne
to have deferred making his remarks in
view Of the fact that ho had that afternoon
attended conference Of representatives OF
both roads, at which differences we're set.
tied and amendments prepared to be cub.
mit.ed by Colonel Wilkinson. Mr.. Hearne
denied tina. all differences were eet.led.
1t was decided to refer tho ordinance to
the Joint Committee on Railroads and
Ordinances, at which representatives Of all
roads are 10 be present and the ordinance
gotten in shape to please the greatest mum.
Der. 1t is hoped that satisfactory ordi.
nance will be adopted for the Ohio River
roads sake, IS it is at present badly ham.
pered, and its busnces il assuming such
proportions that the Pittsburgh, Wheeling
& Kentucky, "a a. present situated, can
not properly handle It. DIS.

muuication asking the adoption OF m ordi.
nance giviog him the powe. to appoint

ed or obstructcd in the discharge Of their
du.iee; their compensation TO be paid by
