B. F. Laker moved that it be referred to the City S.ilicitor with instructions to report the law on the matter. Agreed to. A petition was received from John Loog- botbam, asking permission to erect two frame buildings ou Fultou street, between Third and Fifth streets, in the South ward.

Ou motion of Mr. Fennell the matter was referred to the Building Inspector, tvith power to act. The following report of the Street Committee was submitted, received, and recommendations ordered carried out: To President umJ Gtuncil: Your Committee ou Streets report: Tnat have very nearly the work on Providence avenue. This work has been very badly needed for sevt-ral years, and the completion will result in a permanent improvement. A numberof crossings have been laid where necessary, and a number of new ones will be laid immediately, which will greatly improve the walking: 011 a number of our streets.

Edgmonl avenue, above Eleventh street, is the only portion of that thoroughfare which is not in a good condition, and thf Committee propose to overhaul at once and put it in good condition. the Providence avenue work will require a large quantity of broken stone. The grading of Concord avenue is progressing ssitlsfaetbrily. The contractor uas completed half the work, and for on account. This the Committee Council to concur in.

The Street Committee eeported bills amounting to $193.25, for wages, which were ordered paid. Mr. Booth, of the Committee on Ways and Meass, stated that they would probably need more money than was allowed them by appropriation to pay the interest on January 1st, and he asked permission to get a note not exceeding $10,000 discounted. Mr. Baker moved that the committee be etnnowered to have a note of the amount asked for discounted if it was needed.

Agreed to. The Committee on Accounts reported bills amounting to $74 50, which were ordered paid. The bill of Messrs. Gartside Turner, for removing a fire plug was in this envelope with other bills, aud the clerk read it. The amount was S89.14 for removing the fire plug from the front of Dennis'mill, on Tenth street, to Tenth and Potter streets.

It was thought to be au exorbitant bill. The introduction into Council of this bill, in the manner it was brought--appar- Chadwick's assertion when he says that Council ought t' he guided hv tlif- uidstrxMit of the department, lie favored amendment on tbe ground that it would get water on the tire quicker. Messrs. Chadwick and Greenwood spoke favor of adopting the rule as proposed by he firemen, and Mr. Ilinksou, tbe other member of the Fire Committee, opposed it.

The yeas aud nays were called ou tbe adoption of the amendment as follows Yeas--Messrs. B.F. Bakei, F. S. Baker, Black, Hioksou, Klotz, McCall-C.

Xays--Messrs. Anderson, Booth, Cutler, hadwick, Fenuell, Greenwood, Young--7. The amendment wis lost and the rules adopted. Mr. Greenwood asked for a crossing on Edginont avenue at Eleventh street, aud he referred it to the Strvet Committee.

Tbe Committee on Assessing Taxes reported that they were looking after the assessors, and wished to be continued. Mr. Black called attention to the matter of the fire plug and gas lamp at Second street aud Edgmont avenue, both being in the way of the crossing, and asked that tbe plug be removed if it did not cost too much. The Committee on Fire was instructed to look into tbe matter. Mr.

Anderson called attention to the plug at Barton's Mill being so close to the building- Mr. Greenwood said that most of tie manufacturers desired the plugs close to their mills when they were located.

The members thought the bill entirely too high, and desired that it be corrected. Mr. B. F.

Baker made a motion to refer the bill back to the makers for correction. Messis. Klotz, Chad wick, Greenwood and Booth all favored giving it back to the Committee on Fire to act ou. Finally a motion was made to this effect, and afrer some discussion passed. The bill was then handed to Mr.

Chadwick. Mr. B. F. Baker, of the Committee on Gas, asked that the bill of the Penn Globe Gas Company, which would be due in a couple of days, be paid, after the pioper reduction.

It was allowed. Mr. Baker, of the Committee on Health reported that tne nuisance of tar boiling oi Mechanic street, near Seventh, had been abated, or at least Mr. Armitage told him i had. The Committee on Fire reported the bill of Messrs.

Gartside Turner, previously alluded to, and a bill of SO for blowing out the fiie plugs. The bill for blowing out the plugs was ordered paid, but the one of Messrs. Gartside Turner, being signed by only one member of the Committee. Mr. Chadwick, was the subject of considerable discussion.

A man was walking along the platform and tbe bundle nearly struck him in the head. He thoHght it. was thrown at and he turned his head, first in the direction from whence it came and then after the package. He went down the bank, picked up tbe tiridle, and began tying it.

It was a great surprise to him when he undid the inner wrapping, for lay a newly-born babe. He wrapped it up again, and brought tbe package to the Coroner's office. A post mortem examination was held and it was found it had never breathed. THE FOUKTH STKEKT Fourth street cadets did not go to Philadelphia tbis morning in a body.

depot in Philadelphia, tbis morning. From half past five o'clock this morning uutil this writing, crowds of citizens from very part of Chester aud vicinity could be seen wending their way to the depot. Up to 11.30 o'clock, eighteen trains had passed this city for Philadelphia, eleven of which were regular, the rest being extra or special. All of them were long and crowded, bringing people from ail sections to attend tbe Grant festivities. So crowded were tbe trains that but few of the passengeis who got aboard here could procure seats Over fifteen hundred tickets were sold at tbe depot this morning for Philadelphia.

Tbis does not include Koachs' men, the P. M. A cadets, or Post Wilde, as those three bodies would make over one thousand persons. that over twenty-five hundred persons ha( left here up to 11.30 o'clock, bent upon seeing Grant. Some went on the 5.48 trail this morning so as to be in time.
