t0n as to the guilt innocence of the prisoner IL

on the sidewalk on mis- face In condition designated
as dead drunk" and died after being removed to
the station house. The post m0rtem examination
showed that there were several lncised wounds on
the face, caused by sharp instrument. 1t was for
the Jury to decide whether these cnts and other acts
sought TO be charged upon the prisoner caused tho
death ~ the deceased. There was evidently no pre-
meditation or intent to kill, ana there was evi-
dence warrantng conviction except for man
slaughtes In the fourth degree. The jury withdrew

drove to North Scituate ten miles distant went to
the house OF Albert Hubbard cashier OF the Scuate
National Bank, entered the bed chamber, and
his wife took the Keys Of the bank and

were unable to open the bank vault so they re-
turned to the house and carried Off the cashier with
them back to the bank and compelled him to open
the vault which they robbed OF about S25O0o in bills
and bonds besides valuable papers deposited with
the bank. The robbers then returned to Providence

I CoNscRPTI0N DISTURBANCES IN FRANCE
According to telegram which we published
yesterday it appears that smeutes have oc-
CURED at Bordeaux, and that ''seditious" pla-
cards have been posted up at Paris, Lyons,
Marseilles and Rennes. The reforming of the
Garde Mobile is the cause assigned for these
disturbances, the first bitter fruits of the new
army bill. Thus, in town and country through
out the empire, the French people manifest
their decided opposition to a project which, If
strictly carried out, would break up families,
disturb industry and threaten the peace of
Europe But what will this opposition avail
80 long as the blessed millennial period is in
definitely postponed when the nations of the
earth shall not learn war any more?

In fact beleagured with applications in be-
half of all kinds of jobs, useful or mischiev-
ous, legitimate or illegitimate; but here is
something demanding the attention of men,
bers. 1t appears, among the arguments urged
In favor of the bill, that the present building
Is unsafe and that it is too small for the ac-
commodation Of the students. 1t is stated by
the faculty Of the college that whereas there
were only one hundred and forty-three stu
dents on the roll when the present edifce was
constructed, there are now between eight and
nine hundred. These, we think, are reasons
suficient for granting an appropriation for an
institution the benefits of which cannot be de-
nied, and we hope that the bill win pass both
houses and receive the Governors approval
There is too much money spent on worthless
Jobs and too little on educational purposes.
