A NEW PROPRIETOR.
Sam Brown Buys Quito. s. Holmes.
of the Monongahela House.
LEASE AND FIXTURES FOR $4,000
The Hotel Has Been Paying a Fair Profit
for Some Time Past.
ALL JUDGMENTS WILL BE CANCELLED

Once more the old Monongahela House
changes proprietors. Captain Sam Brown
bought 1t yesterday for S75, 900 in cold cash,
and Charles S. Holmes, the present lessee,
retires from the business. Captain Brown
will run the hotel in the future, in his own
way.
People were rather surprised yesterday,
when it was announced that Captain Brown
had issued an execution against Mr.. Holmes
for S21 .014, but this was only part of the
deal. The Captain and Mr.. Holmes are fast
friends, and those not on the inside
couldn't understand the move, which is
easily explained. On February 10 the de-
fendant gave Captain Brown note for the
amount named, which was to have been paid
in day. The note was recorded q few days
ago.
MIR. Holmes Plans for the Future.
When Mr.. Holmes was seen last evening
he said: "You may say that the execution
was issued to shut off some spite work
of my former partner. 1 have no
further use for him, and even
house has been paying So, 900 month ever
since took hold of it, but have too much
to do to attend to it and my fathers
business. In the future I will devote
myself to the liquor trade. Father has
wholesale houses In Chicago, Phillipsburg
and here; besides, I am President of the
company that owns the Kent House at Lake
wood, and with all these interests to look after
felt that the Monongahela House was more
than could manage with justice to all.
have spent SIS, 900 in improving the house,
and retire little ahead Of the game. I don't
know what Captain Brown intends to do,
or whether the present management will be
continued or no. Manager Kelly is first
class man, but this house belongs to Captain
Brown now, and he hasn't spoken of his
plans to me. 1 have assured the Captain
that will pay all owe, and he has perfect
confidence in my ability to do so. As Tor
Mr.. Arnold 1 am through with him."
As to the Keeping of the House.
Mr.. Holmes was IN an excellent humor as
he spoke about the deal. Two months ago
he bought out II. Fl. Arnold's interest in
the lease and furnishings. Captain Brown
went home early last evening, and couldn't
be seen. 1t is safe to say he
will maintain the present high stand
ard of the house. The lease
was made to Mr.. Holmes for ten years, about
nine of which remain. The old house is
owned by Charles j. Clarke, Florence Mil
Ter and the Crossan estate.
In this connection several other suits were
entered against Mr.. Holmes yesterday.
The Diamond Milk Company claims S543 sc
for milk furnished the Monongahela House.
The same company also demands S578 Sc,
including in the suit 81. II. Arnold as one OF
the proprietors. The Grocers' Supply and
Storage Company claims from Mr.. Holmes
50, 296 q for groceries supplied. G. Stein
hauser, the butcher, presents a bill to Mr..
Holmes for S204S "a and to Holmes &
Arnold s., ,23O 80 Tor meat furnished.
Mr.. Holmes says these bills will all be
paid, but he wants Mr.. Arnold to do his
share.

conclusion that public rights are paramount TO

Supplying Defects in the Charter.
We have also prepared an act supplementary
to tho charter act, which creates The Depart
ments of Awards and Library, and elaborates
on the duties OF the heads OF all departments,
which were conferred in general terms by the
charter. The acts were formulated to be in
HARMONY with the latest decision of the
Supreme Court, the highest tribunal of the
State and to which every law-abiding citizen
must submit
As soon as Major Moreland had concluded
Msyur Gourley called upon George Elphin-
stone, CITY Solicitor of Allegheny, to ad-
dress the meeting.
Mr.. Elphinstone-I understood that this
was meeting of the citizens of Pittsburg.
The Mayor-This legislation also affects
Allegheny.
Mr.. Elphinstone-I agree with the learned
counsel employed by Pittsburg that cur
alive legislation is demanded by your
1t is not only demanded, but it is right 1t
is not right, nor honest, for any citizen to
resist such payment. Men who have been
benefited should paw for it. Such legisla.
tior is demanded by honesty, justice and
fair dealing between every citizen and the
municipality. The proposed street act will
also benefit us in Allegheny. In some
minor matters Ii may not suit us, but
thind they can be adjusted. | think it the
duty of the citizens of Pittsburg to accept
tine Judgment of the able gentlemen who
prepared this legislation.

ASTRONOMERS ARE ANGRY.
THEY DEMAND THAT THE NATIONAL
OBSERVATORY

Be Divorced From the Navy Department
College Observatories Deprived of
Their Source of Financial Support-The
Allegheny Institution Is Among Those
Interested.
ST. LOUIS, April 4.-The leading as
tronomers and scientists of the United
States are uniting their forces for struggle,
and confidently expect to win. The next
Congress will be memorialized to transfer
the control OF the United States Naval OBJ
servatory from the Navy Department to the
hands of a purely scientific and astronomi-
cal board. which shall thereafter constitute
an astronomical department of the govern
mental machinery. The leading astron-
omers concerned in this movement claim
that there is great deal more need of the
change than there was in the case of the
transfer of the Weather Bureau from the
War to the Agricultural Department.
The cause of the movement is d step re-
Gently taken by the United States Naval
Observatory, which inficts the greatest in
jury upon the various astronomical observa-
tories of the country-that is, the practice
established of supplying the Western Union
Telegraph Company with time signals for
commercial use.
In 1901, from w aSnlnStOn nlVerSlty
here, the signals necessary for the regula-
tion OF timepieces in this district first began
to be derived. It was practical system,
which caused revolution in the manner of
securing correct astronomical time over the
whole country. and it made st. Louis for
years the center of interest for all interested
in the system. Following the entrance of
the Washington University In the field,
there was established a circuit OF astronom-
ical observations, under the new system as
follows: The Harvard Observatory, at Cam
bridge; Lick Observatory, at Mount Ham
ilton, Cal; College Observatory, at North
field, Mimi; Allegheny Observatory, at
Allegheny; Washington Observatory, St.
Louis, and the Winchester Observatory, of
Yale.
The sums received from railroads in pay
ment for the time and other signals fur
nished by this circuit, formed the main
sapport of the observations, and now the
system adopted by the United States Naval
Observatory will drive the university obser-
vations from the field. The universities say
that with the Western Union system adopted,
the only means they had of advancing the
cause of science will be Withdrawn, and
their costly plants will be rendered useless.

DIDN'T SCARE THE CHIEFS.

The Poor Boards Are Regarded as Corpses-
No Fight VIII Be Made in Allegheny
To-Morrow-They Could Only Be Short
Lived at Best.
The opinion of w. B. Rodgers on the loss
of powers of the Department OF Charities
did not seem to create much CONSERVATION
yesterday. In Allegheny it was only re-
garded as "sour grapes" and in Pittsburg
it was believed that as the Board of Poor
Guardians were elected by Councils and
not by the people, that organization was GER
tainly a corpse. Even if the attorney
should, by any mischance, be correct in his
views, the Allegheny board would be only
Shortlived, for there is now q hill before the
Legislature abolishing the guardians of the
poor, and it is sure to pass. The Poor Board
of Allegheny, where the fight was to be
made if any was attempted. will peacefully
turn over the affairs of the Office to Chief
Grubbs.
Mr.. Rodgers was interviewed yesterday
and said: ''It is not the public's business.
1t is simply matter between the Poor
Board and myself, 1 do not want to talk to
the public"
When Chief Elliot was seen he only
laughed and said he had not thought the
opinion worth reading. Said he: 81 be-
lieve this department is constitutional and 1
believe the Poor Board is dead. 1t may be
different in Allegheny. If it is decided
that we do not possess the power we now e1-
ercise am willing to quit. 1 only know
that the charities have cost the city less
since it has been made a department than it
did under the old Board of Poor Guard
ians."
City Solicitor Elphinstone of Allegheny,
did not seem to be worrying very hard. II
don't believe there is verv much in it. was
what he said. Even il the act of 1887" he
continued, "does not take away all the pow
ers of the Poor Board, there is now bill IN
Harrisburg that has passed the second read
ing in the House. 1t abolishes the poor
guardians altogether. There will not be
any trouble on Monday"
A mem Der of the Board of Poor Guardians
was seen last night and said that the office
would be turned over tomorrow without
any fight.

benefits from the citizens ut large or from
the persons benefited? The objection to the
old bill was that il was local Legislation,
and that dissatisfied persons were unable to
get into court easily, and not because of in
equality in assessments. This curative leg
islation provides that no man shall be as
sessed unless benefited. (Applause]
Ex-Councilman Munro-The acts of 1887
and 1889 were admirable laws, but, unfor-
tunately, the Supreme Court did not think
so. This curative legislation is hope at
the best, but it is fair. Only those who are
benefited can be made to paw. The excess
of cost over the benefits must be borne by
the city at large. Applause
Colonel j. NJ. Schooumaker-I believe
that the matter of curative legislation
should be left to those who asked for these
benefits. petitioned for an improvement,
am ready to pay for it, and 1 am ready to
vote for curative legislation.
Debt Upon the Poor Man.
Mr.. Miller-Remember, gentlemen, that
this is debt OF Pittsburg. every dollar of it.
1t is debt upon every poor man who owns
little home. Are you going to make the
city pay it, or the people who are benefited?
Alex. Dempster-As representative OF
the East End and as a representative of a
large portion of those interested, 1 would
say we are honest men and willing to pay
for the benefits we have received. II is not
equitable to ask those who have paid for
their own Improvements to pay for the i'm
provement OF other peoples property. As
to the inequitable assessment by the Board
of Viewers, a remedy is provided in this
measure. The property benefited should
pay and we say yea to curative legislation.
The question was called on Mr.. Miller's
motion approving curative legislation. The
Mayor asked for viva voce vote. and the
rafters fairly rang with ayes, although the
nays made good showing. A division was
claimed, and rising vote taken, Mayor
Wyman, of Allegheny, who had dropped
in and taken seat by the President, voting
aye The motion was declared carried, and
curative legislation was approved.
