DETROIT, November lO.-A young man
named Syloams Howe attempted 10 cut his
wife's throat with a razor In this city last
night, and inflicted severe but not fatal
wound. He then Immediately took large
dose Of prussic acid and died in fifteen
minutes. The act was the result OF long
course Of drinking. lie was strongly al.
taChed TO his wife.
Nine million feet Of lumber in sisson
4 Lilly's mill yard, at Spring Lake, burned
yesterday The lumber belonged to Nath.
bone ( Co., OF ChiCago. Loss, $3.50, 900;
insured for 100000 In nine different com.
panies.
The troubles at the State Agricultural
College are not yet ended. II Il reported
that twenty-five students have been sUs.
pended by the faculty and two more ex.

Dr.. N. G., Hall, Of Davidsburp, who was

ceedings, against which no technical objec-
ton could be raised. After the adjourn
ment Of the Court the accused were con-
graduated by their numerous friends,
At the Postotfiee Department the effect
OF Judge Cox's decision Is much discussed,
High officials assert that the effect Is mis-
understood. It is claimed that the Gov
ernment is debarred from proceeding by
indictment in the Walsh cases, but the
Postoffice authorities deny this. They say
that the fact that proceedings by intorma-
ton having been commenced satisfies US
tion, even though the proceeding has been
thrown out on technically, In addition
1t is alleged that there are grounds for
many indictments without touching the
Walsh case. Public opinion here Is, how.
ever, almost unanimous that the failure OF
the Government is final as regards Brady,

AGAINST THE PAIR SEX.



DosToN, November lO.-Nliss Lila j.
Robinson. q young woman oi about twenty.
eight, fair, talented, and independent, grad
llated last spring from the University Law
School, and soon after madc application for
admission to the bur MS pqctciing attor.
ney. Chief Justice Gray, before whom the
petition was filed, took brief prepared by
Miss Robinson In her own behalf, and
decided against her. The matter went up
before the full bench, and to-day long
and carefully prepared opinion was sent
down, which sustains Judge Gray's posi-
tion, and cites at length the reason for the
refusal 10 admit Miss Robinson 10 practice.
First-The honored Justices show that
the term "CitiEen," used by the petitioner
In her application, does not In this instance
apply to or include women.
The legislative enactment meant men
and not women for attorneys
Next they argue that there is 10 prece-
dent for such q proceeding In English law.
Miss Robinson cited the case OF the Coun.
teas Of Pembroke, who Is said to have held
the office Of hereditary Sheriff OF West.
mOreland in the SeventeetlI century The
Justices doubt the truth Of The report, nd.
hitting that In certain sense, and out Of
respect for her family, and The fact that the
succession was Temporarily broken, the
Judges might have invited her TO sit with
them when they Catne 10 the county. They
fihd no public Office OF that nature held
by woman.
An attorney.atlaw, says the Court, Is
not indeed In the striCteSt sense public
officer, but he comes very near IT, II q
woman should be finally appointed and
commissioned as Justice Of lie Peace she
would have no constitutional or legal att
thOrity for any Of the functions appertain-
ing to that office. According to the opin.
ion OF the Justices (l07 NIass., COZ, when.
ever the Legislature has intended 10 make
a change In the legal right 0r capacities Of
women Il has used worls clearly manifest
ing It's intent and the extent Of the change
intended. The statutes permitting tnar.
ried woman 10 hold and and convey prop
ery, to make contracts. 10 sue
ard be sued, and be an exeCu.
trix, administratfix, guardian, or trustee,
have In no way enlarged The capacity Of
any woman, married or unmarried, to hold
office, and have no application 10 single
women or 10 the legal disabilities 10 which
married and unmarried women alike are
subject. The House Of Representatives In
1874, having taken the opinion Of the jus
tices Of this court that there was nothing
| in the Constitution ilseli 10 prevent women
from being members OF school committees,
| The Legislature enacted a law that no per.
sor should be deemed ineligible 10 serve
upon school committee by reason Of sex,
and II has since expressly authorized
women 10 vote al the election Oi School

The Scenes In II During Election Day
ASt0F and Flower.


NEw YoRK, November lO-The Sun de,
scribes the election scene in Morton's Con.
gressional district, where William Waldorf
Astor was running as Republican Candi-
date for the seat against Mr., Flower, Demo
cratic candidate, who was elected;
The voting was done quietly, There was
more life in the Eleventh Assembly Dis
trict than anywhere else except around
Mr., Flowers headquarters. The Eleventh
Assembly District is the heart of the Con.
gEessional district. Sixth and Filth ave.
nues pierce 1t, and there the most people
and the most activity were seen.
At about a quarter past s o'clock in the
morning, William Waldorf Astor quilted
his big mansion in Thirty-third street, near
