REOPEYING THE ASTOR LIBRARY.
NEW CATALOGUE FOR THE READERs-sTU.
DENTS ATTRACTED FROM ALL PARTS
on


The Aston Library was again opened yesterday,
after having been closed since August 10. During
the time the doors shut the entire building has
been thoroughly cleaned the furniture has been rem
ovated, and the librarian and his assistants have had
a good rest.
The readers at the library this year will be much
assisted by the new catalogue which has Just been
printed, after six years Of work and at an
expense of $50 900. 1t Is in four volumes OF 1000
pages each and is in all respects ono Of the finest
catalogues made, embodying, as It does all the
newest and best ideas Of the foremost librarians.
Copies Of It have been sent gratutOusly to all the
large libraries in this country and Europe and are
also offered for sale at the library at $50 the set The
librarian said yesterday that the affairs Of the library
in every respect in most satisfactory condition.
The completion of the catalogue will increase the
amount of money to be spent on books and enable
the librarian TO purchase virtually all the new publ
cations on science, art, history and literature that
he considers valuable. The shelves already contain
100000 volumes covering every department of learn
ing and the amount OF original research done there
each year IS constantly increasing. The persons who
go there and read merely 10 while away the time are
getting less and less, while the number of readers
who earnest students getting material for
books IS growing larger. The readers, which last
year numbered from $50 to 800 day. come from all
parts of the United States, attracted by the library S
reputation, the Librarian said the great reference
library Of the country"

NO zoo AFTER ALL.
Monument Hill Cannot be Leased by the
City of Allegheny.

Monument Hill Cannot be Leased by the
City of Allegheny.
The suD-Allegheny Park Committee on
Grounds met yesterday afternoon to consider
the matter of leasing Monument Hill to a
private corporation for the establishment of a
geological garden, also project to beautify the
hill. Messrs Snaman, Mech and Curry were
present When the zoo matter was taken up
one of the members produced an act of assem-
bly, passed in 1870, which reads as follows:
BE it enacted. etc, that that portion Of the
the city Of Allegheny. which has not been disposed
of by the said city by perpetual lease be- and the
same Is, appropriated ana set apart to the use OF
the public as portion of the public parks of the
said city.
This act settles the matter and the commit
tee will report at the meeting of the general
committee on Monday that the hin cannot be
leased to a corporation or an individual.
The matter of improving the hill was then
discussed. At a recent meeting of Councils
Mr.. Neeb introduced a resolution authorizing
the Improvement, which was referred to the
subcommittee in conjunction with Superin-
tendent Hamilton and City Engineer Ehlers
The latter was asked to prepare plans and an
estimate of the cost. He produced his plans
at the meeting, and they provide for a driving
road from the west and one from the north;
also numerous footwalks, the former 70 be of
asphalt block and sheet asphalt for the foot
walks. The total cost Of this Improvement.
Mr.. Ehlers estimates, will be about $4,000
This money will either come from the con-
tingent fund or bonds will be issued to cover
the expense. The report will be recommended
to the general body at the next meeting.

First Quality
Fairest Prices.

It's poor policy to make a
reputation for keeping second
rate goods. There's too much
competition, and the wider
the reputation the more a
merchant is injured.
To get first place in our
business we tie high quality
to a just price. If you could
see how critically we examine
the cloth, and the workman
ship, you would say: They're
more particular than we are"
We are. We mean to be
at least twice as particular as
you. Ask and we'll welcome
your questions about quality.

TO THE SOUTHSIDE.
A New Bridge to be Built From Ross
Street Across.
BIG CAPITALISTS INTERESTED.
A Rival Street Car Line One Of the Features
of the Project
SUCCEEDS TO AN ABANDONED SCHEME

A project to build bridge from the foot
of Grant street across the Monongahela
river to the Southside, was broached some
i've or six years ago. A company was
organized, but owing to various difficulties
which arose, the principal one being that
it was not 700 feet above the Smithfeld
street bridge, no further steps were taken
after the charter was procured. The idea
of having competitor to the Smithield
street bridge, which Is regular mint, did
not die out, however. and is now likely
to be realized. A new company
has been formed, and new
location selected. Among the names of the
stockholders of the new company are
Joshua Rhodes, James A. McDevitt, A. F.
Keating. John F. Steel, T. H. Given, 81. 8. A.
Stewart A. M. Neeper and f. M. Magee. An
application for State charter has been made
by Solicitor Neeper for the Southside Bridge
Company, which states that the contemplated
structure will cross the Monongahela river be-
ginning at the foot of Ross street and ending
at South First. The capital stock will be
$500, 900, the shares having par value of $50.
STYLE OF CONSTRUCTION.
One or two of the stockholders talked to
DISPATCH reporter yesterday afternoon re-
garding the plans and style Of architecture of
the structure. 1t is to be a bridge for horse
cars, other vehicles and pedestrians. There
have been no specific arrangements made yet
about the number of spans it will have, but
iron is to be used chiefly in its construction.
All modern improvements are to be applied,
and the structural work is to be done by Pitts
burg bridge builders. The structure will be
much similar, it is stated, to the Seventh street
bridge and the same freedom will be allowed
as to rate Of speed in crossing 1t.
RIVAL STREET CAR LINES.
1t is a well-known fact that the Pittsburg and
Birmingham Street Car Company owns the
Second avenue line, which runs up Fourth
avenue and over the Tenth street bridge, which
gives it the monopoly of Southside street car
patronage. To overcome this, and get rival
line, the new bridge must be built, The Trans
verse line will be continued, it is thought, up
Buchanan street to Ross, and then cross the
BRIDGE making connection with the Knoxville
line.
1t could not be stated definitely when opera
tons would be begun on the new bridge, but
that it is fact of the future is not denied by
those identified with the project.
