NEW HEALTH REGULATIONS.
Draft Of n joint Resolution Sent It
Congress by commissioners.

Draft of n Joint Resolution Sent to
Congress by commissioners.
The Commissioners sent to both Houses
of Congress yesterday the draft Of u joint
resolution authorizing and empowering
them in making regulations under the au-
thority conferred by Congress, to alter,
amend or repeal any Of the ordinances Of
the late board of health OF the District
which were legaliZed by Congress April
"a 1880, whenever, in their Judgment, the
public interest requires Ii.
The resolution was prepared by the
health officer. and in his letter OF Trans
mission. Dr Woodward says:
while these regulations were quite
abreast of the times when originally for
mulated, increased knowledge in reference
to sanitation and altered local conditions,
due TO an increased population, make 1t
desirable that certain Of them should be
amended or repealed
The regulations referred to have the
same force and effect as IL enacted by
Congress, in the first instance DR.. Wood
ward said his reference was to no par
ticular ordinance. but that in a general
way some Of the old-tilne regulations
were indefinite in many particulars. and
others were too narrow in their scope
For example, some of the laws are made
to apply to the cities of Georgetow and
Washington. and these should be extended
to the suburban localities.

A BILL IN EQUITY FILED.
John c. Groome Claims That He
Was Defrauded.

John C. Groome, late the sole proprietor
OF drug store known S the Mount Yer
non Pharmacy, filed a bin in equity yes
terday against his successors in the buSi-
Frederick S. Coburn, petitioning that
sale of interest made by Rosborough to
Coburn shall be declared void, and that
Rosborough shall be obliged to execute
To plaintiff a certain deed of trust called
for in their business transaction, which
the defendant has hitherto failed to fur
nish.
Mr.. Groome alleges in his petition that
on the Goth day OF March, 1896, he dis
posed of q half interest in the store ana
business to defendant, Rosborough, for
81, 800. This was partly paid in cash,
and the residue was represented in eley-
en- notes, the deferred pa yments TO be Sc
cured by deed of trusuo on the one-half In
terest. The deed of trust was never made.
The plaintiff removed TO Carlisle, Pa,
where he still resides, he says, and not
long afterward he received a letter from
Rosborough announcing that Coburn de-
sired 10 purchase GIoome's remaining in
terest, and this led to conference, and
ultimately The sale of GroOme's share TO
Coburn for 81 .331 sc, the latter to assume
Groome's one-half OF the debts against the
establishment, the total Of which amounted
TO 81 500.
IL is alleged by the PLAINTIFF that he
found the business in bad condition, due
to Acknowledgement, and the drug store
had become Improbable for that reason.
He renewed his request for the execution
of the deed of trust by Rosborough, but 1T
was DELAYED. Coburn. meanwhile, insisted
uopn the filing OF bill of sale and its
entry of record, alleging that the creditors
OF the firm might come forward with claims
and embarraSs the business.
This Mr.. Groome finally acccded to,
he says, with the understanding that
Rosborough should at once make the deed
of trust anegedt to he due him. ROsbornUgh
afterward refused to give the deed ana
within SIN weeks after the passing of the
bill of sale. the plaintiff says. Rosborough
sold his interest to Coburn.
Mr. Groome declares that the sale TO
Coburn was not genuine, and that the
two defendants intended by the transac-
tion TO defraud him. He desires The inter

to the description given OF the Umbria's
passenger by the second cabin steward, he
was small in stature, with an oval face.
Three inspectors boarded the Unlbria as

Passenger got by them unobseryed they
