A captain of the navy Is superin tendent of the observatory, and be has had under him a number of acientlfit men who made the astronomical obser vations and did other soiefltific work. These gentlemen have been dlsafitisflcd in having their duties supervised by a naval officer, and list ysar they began, jagatapatje. campaign to have the ob servatory transferred' entirely to their charge. Professor liman Newcomb, who has charge of the Nautical Almanac, complained to the Secretary of thle Navy agaiust Gapt.

Finally the matter was taken to Con gress. with the object of having the ob servatory taken out of the hands of naval officers and scientific meiw most of them from Harvard, made represen tations to the committee In charge of the case in favor of the transfer. Con gress adjourned without ! taking action, but Secretary Herbert determined to end t,he squabble, and with this object in view took all the papers In the ease with him when he went away on his five weeks’ tour of inopection on the Dolphin.

The grounds for this eon'Tontton were that naval offi cers.-.by reason of their education, prin cipally In other direction*, were not i usapftrnt to direct astronomical work. It has never bcj-ti asserted with any show of reason that the observer* and computers so long employed at the obser vatory were not competent and scientific men. The grOumU for the contention for reorganization by Congress ha* been that the astronomical researches at the ob servatory have not conformed to any regular system. Observers were-left to follow largely their own ind'-vlduai in clinations and their own ideas of what the interests of science demanded with out any proper computation of tbe work. My own opinion, after much time given to the investigation of the subject, is that of all the criticisms made against the work of the observatory, this alone has any foundation. You are therefore hereby placed In full charge of all the astronomical work at the Naval Oh**r vatory, Those who were in favor of adhering to the old plan have strongly pressed upon the department the value of the work by certain former superintendents, who The regulation* under which von take charge leave all such questions to you. jind you alone. You have power to call into your councils nR the talent am! experience possessed by your subordi nates. The department has not seen proper to tie your bands by any detailed TfigultfflwnW.' tV being ■ the intention of . this reorganization to place in your hand* power adequate to the respon- sibditie* which arc vonrs. The department believes that your experience of thirty years as an as tronomer ha* made you thoroughly com petent to* perform the duties and re- sponaibilitie* hereby imposed upon yon vith credit to yourself and the depart ment it.

It wa« expected that a mob from Bos well. the home of the murdered man. would try to intercept the train aa It passed through Cobh county and lynch Meyers. ' ' It was op -account of this fear IkiT Chief Connolly and his men went up to tffiattmiooga-, armed with Wincheatera son street crossing They Meyers still aiticka to the story he first told of the murder. He claims that he was forced Jo play the part of a decoy by Brown Allen, tha man who actually committed the murder. Allen, he say8, got him In his powef through a wompn. Introdueed to him a* Emma Allen by Brown Allen- He and the woman, a handsome creature, went to Grant Park together owe night and wern surprised In a somewhat ebmprom- — iking situation by Brown Allen, wbo drew a pistol on him and threatened to kill him. In this way he continued to hold him in his powwr. Allen, he claims, arranged all the detaila of the plot; . The police do not balicve a word of Meyers's story. There Is plenty of evi dence flatly contradieting ,h r m, and nritber Brown Allen nor Emma Allen has been found. Meyers In his statement said Charlie Jones and Conley brought here from Chattanooga had nothing to do with the crime. He has also exhonerated/DiAe. "This morning Meyer* undoubtedly had a narrow escapa from tb* vengeanc* of tbe murdered man'a relatives and friends. About 16 o’clock Chief DeteC- live Wright with three of the for, e were rtYei hy Ma tdV of emimffi. | took Meyers Vn a esuriaga out to the scene of tbe murder fbr *he purpose of making out sn Investigation. Meyers claimed that he never loft the buggy in whch he and Crowley reached the place, but that Brown AHen\ took Crowley over in the word* and kill ed him while he waited. The detectives were proceeding to continue thrtr ribte- nient by proving tracks in the ground to have been made by Meyers’s shoes, when a party of men from Roswell wefie seen coining over the hill. In the crowd were Crowley’s brother, hts unfte and several men who were in hts em ploy. They were excited and taking in tbe situation at a glance, Cldof Wright* hurried Meyers hack to the carriage and drove\hark to town in a gallop. He feared that if tbe Boswell men got near Meyers he would be shot. From, what passed in the crowd after the prisoner was gone It seems that Chief Wright's fears were well grounded. The uncle of the. murdered man and brother, both of whom were greatly ex cited, declared that Meyerk’s life waa not worth” a copper. They said there was 1.090 men around Roswell ready to kill him. and If he escapes through the courts they declared be would never escape the vengeance of the dead man’s friends. The Roswell men had -followed the prisoner and the detectives out to the w<{r>ds, hot the detectlvm did not know they were there until they were within one hundred yards of them. / Labor Will Dlaras* Kederatioa.
