change At SAILORS HOME
CAPTAIN BRAY TO TAKE HOLD
THIS MONTH.
More Sailors in Honolulu Now Than
Ever Before-A Boarding House
Among the Prospects.

The change in management of the
Sailors Home is to take place on the
fifteenth of this month. when Manager
Bluxome will retire, and Captain Bray
viii ltake charge Captain Bray is a
very well known ships master, hav-
ing sailed into Pacific ports for many
years, and he understands the handling
of sailors about as well as anybody. 1t
is hoped that he can make a success
of the Home, which has been a failure
as far as carrying out the purposes
for which it was built are concerned,
almost from the start.
Captain Bray will take hold of the
Home under rules very much the same
as those under which it has been man
aged by Mr.. BluXome. The place is to
be home for seamen only, a tenn
perance place, where they may live
when on shore at trifing cost.
No shipping business is to be done in
connection with the institution.
Since the plague began there have
been many occupants of the sailors
home, which has had more success thau
for many months previous, At the
present time there are a hundred and
fifty sailors "on the beach" in Homo
lulu, but they do not go to the home.
Sailors have a deep prejudice against
''homes," growing partly out of the
fact that rules are necessary for the
management OF such places which
Jack does not always like to observe.
1t is largely for this reason that the
home has failed to make good show
| ing in the past.
| A sailors boarding house is being
talked of as among the possibilities Of
the near future. There is plenty of
room for such an institution to pros

1t is becoming the custom to pay of
sailors of American vessels here. The

being disregarded, and for purposes OF

ed as an American port. OF the many
vessels in the harbor scarcely one has
not paid off some men and some of then
have paid off almost their entire crews
In many cases it is the only way, as
the men sign to be paid off at an Ameri
lean port, coming here under the natur

poft. and If when they get here they
are told that 1t is not and attempts ar,
made to hold them there is trouble a

Honolulu has never seen so many
sailors ashore and out of employment
as at the present time. They are loiter
ing all day about the cOnsul's office anC
along the water front. making very
lively business for the shipping men.

MORE OF THE SUICIDE.

The suicide, Frank Peroutka, is a mar
ried man, and had wife and daughter
in Wisconsin or Minnesota. Thomas
Ball, who was in his company on the
Mariposa, and roomed with him here
for time, says that the name of the
town in which Peroutka lived is Wey-
nema. Peroutka stated that his business
was general merchandise, and that he
had just sold a store in his home town,
to come here on account of poor health.
He expected to engage in business here
if the place suited him. Shortly after
his arrival here the suicide invested
some money in sugar stocks. II was
told that he had put $500 into bonds,
but do not know how true it was" said
Mr.. Ball. The last time l saw Mr..
Peroutka was last week. He was COM
planning that his health was not good" ."

TWO MURDER CASES.
Media and Eston Before the District
Court.

Media, the companion of Animoto
the Japanese charged with the murder
Heira at Kahuku two weeks ago, was
brought before the District Court this
morning. Deputy Marshal Chilling
worth asked that a general charge of
murder in the first degree be entered
against him, and the case continued
until next Tuesday
Judge Wilcox asked if there was not
q district magistrate over in Kahuku,
and demurred somewhat to hearing
causes arising in another judicial dis
trict.
The Deputy Marshal said he could
not go over to Kahuku TO prosecute the
case on account of the quarantine.
Judge Wilcox asked him how the wit
nesses could come here to testify.
"They can come" said Chillingworth,
but they can't get back"
Judge Wilcox finally agreed to the
charge being entered and the continu-
ance granted. The prisoner visibly
started when Toma Abe informed him
in Japanese Of the charge, but seemed
reassured when he learned the case
had been continued for a week.
William Eston, the negro charged
with the murder Of Toyo Jackson was
again in the District Court this morn
ing. His attorney, who a few days ago
was clamoring for a speedy hearing
was today clamoring for a continuance
The case will be continued until April 9

new CONERS FROM CHINA
TWENTY THREE BROTHERS AT
THE CUSTOM HOUSE.
Mr.. Then Why Returns to China and
Mr.. Ng Asks Permission to Land But
His Paper is Marked N. G.

The court of the Bureau of Immigra-
tion, Judge John w. Short, was in ses-
sion this morning, trying the cases of
thirty eight Chinese who want to land
on Hawaiian soil. There was an odd
collection OF brothers on hand to swear
before the court that the applicants
had spent many years in Honolulu in
the past. In fact it seemed to be broth
ers' day. One lot of five brothers, one
lot of four brothers, and three lots of
three each were on hand to give the
necessary testimony for the dear ones
that had come from far away China.
Among the returned travellers from
China was Mr.. Then Why, who arrived
on the steamship China. Then Why had
a certificate showing that he left here
a year ago. The photograph on the
certificate looked like the man who pre-
sented it and he was able to tell a good
deal about Honolulu so Then Why was
passed and he is now in town.
The Ng family consisted of three
brothers two of whom were on hand to
swear to the right of the other two to
land. The Ng who had arrived was a
doubtful case. His face was not alto
gether satisfactory when compared
with his picture and he will have to
make up for 1t by displaying knowledge
of the map of Honolulu. One Ng, with
his certificate endorsed ING" by Judge
Short, was sent back to China, but he
belonged to a different Ng family.
Inspector of Immigration Short holds
his inquisitions on Quarantine Island
and at the immigration office in the
custom house. Until they are passed
as fitted to land, the arrivals are not
even allowed to talk to any Chinese
here. They are examined and cross
examined, and their numerous relatives
are also examined. Those who do the
work are sometimes lost in amazement
and admiration at the prevarications
that are offered

SERIOUS CONDITION IN cry
WELLS.
Those without Pumps Threaten to Run
Dry-Government Flow Also Down
Result of Dry Weather.

The dry weather of the past nine
months has produced a condition in the
artesian water supply that may now
he called serious. Heretofore, the de-
ficit was noticed, but no alarm was felt.
without going into underground condi-
tions it may be stated that the flow
from wells in the city has declined
about forty per cent in a year. This
applies to all wells, the effect of the
drought seeming not to be confined to
any specific locality.
Private wells have been the first to
notice the failure of the flow. AS rule
in such cases the flow is depended upon
for water for bathtubs, hot water
tanks and regular use, and the water
passes directly from wells into the con-
tainers. In the past few months the
level has fallen from the tops of such
containers to the bottoms, and shortly
none can be had except by pumping.
There has been a notable fall in the
flow in the Government well at Alapai
and Beretania streets, but the situation
there is not serious, as the reliance is
upon the powerful pump. Just what
the result would be with a drought of
months longer, however, is not possible
to tell. In all probability there would
be such a drain that even the under
ground supply would be exhausted.
Superintendent Brown of the water
works department, thinks that the new
Palama we'll will somewhat relieve the
situation, as it will probably draw from
new streams, relieving those now held
by the other wells in town. This is a
practical idea.
Whether the matter results very Sc
riously or not the past few months will
long be remembered as among the
dryest in the history of the country.
Not only Honolulu, but all the Islands
are affected. Hilo's dry record has
been as remarkable as that of Honolulu,
if not even more so.

THE DEATH OF D. v. ROACH
END LAST NIGHT AFTER SHORT
ILLNESS.
Post Mortem Showed Double PneumO-
mia to Have Caused Dissolution-Hls-
tory of the Young Man.

d. w. Roach, the we'll known barber,
died at his home at the corner of Hotel
street and Adams lane last night OF
pneumonia. He had been i'll only a few
days and the disease did not take a
serious turn until Sunday morning. Dr..
Day was attending physician.
During the night the body was taken
to the morgue and this morning a post
mortem was held. The verdict Of DIR.
Hoffman was double pneumonia" BY
this is meant pneumonia of both lungs.
The second attack evidently came on
during yesterday as in the forenoon
the patient was apparently better.
Deceased had been a resident of HO-
nolulu fourteen years, having opened
"A barber shop on Hotel street at the
Pantheon saloon in 1886. Prior to that
he was barber on the Australia. While
there he made many acquaintances in
Honolulu and was finally induced by
local young men to open shop here.
For many years the shop was the finest
in the city and drew an immense trade.
When the Pantheon was burned Mr..
ROach's old shop and landmark went
with it. Deceased thereupon bought
an interest with Bert Bowers in the
Criterion shop, where he has since
been.
Mr.. Roach was married about five
years ago to Miss Schimmelfenig and
leaves besides the widow, two very
bright and interesting children. Mrs
Schimmelfinig, mother of Mrs Roach,
died only about week ago.
Deceased was a native of San Fran
cisco, having been born and reared out
at the Mission. Several members of his
family, including brother still reside
here. He was a man of most pleasant
disposition and of many good qualities,
which combined to make him a host Of
staunch friends.
The funeral will take place at 4
o'clock this afternoon from the hall Of
| Mystic Lodge, Knights of Pythias.

PUBLIC CO-OPERATEs.

The corps of inspectors report that
the public generally gives very cordial
cooperation to it's work. Ed Towse
who has charge of the force, says this
is shown among other ways by the will
lingness with which sanitary improve
ments suggested by the inspectors are
made. One inspector has secured the
digging of no less than twenty-five
new cesspools in one district, and the
putting in sanitary condition of many
others. The Japanese, Chinese and Ha-

NO UNION.
Amalgamation of Different Branches

of the Mormon Church Denied.
Concerning the report sent out from
Salt Lake City, some time ago, of plan
for the reunion of all the organizations
claiming to be followers of Joseph
Smith, "Zon's Ensign" a paNar pub
lished in the interests of the Reorgan-
lied Church of the Latter Day Saints,
at Independence, Mo, says:
80 far as the Reorganized church is
concerned there is but one way in
which there can he a uniting of any
member of the Utah church with it,
and that is to repent of the transgres-
sions and comply with the requirements
of the gospel of Christ, His church
having no concessions to offer any one
so far as obedience to the gospel ordi-
nances are concerned.
I'VE understand two of the Hedrick-
te brethren, Elders Frisbee and Cole,
have had conference with the Utah
representatives, upon what basis We
are not informed, but we have also
understood that the interview was not
a satisfactory one to these brethren, so
there need be no uneaSinesS felt by any
that anything in the nature of a COM
promise with error will be made by the
Reorganized church by which the cause
of truth and right will be made to suf-
fer. Neither do we believe the He'd
rickite brethren will take any such
