MoRGANTovs, June 9.-The Board of
Regents of the University has been in ses-
sion here since last Thursday. Three MEM
bers being absent. The usual routine of
business has been transacted and the ques-
ton Of free tuition and co-education dis
cussed. The formeY has been decided and
free tuition is established except that no
more than one student for each FIVE hun
dred inhabitants is allowed. No definite
action has been taken upon the matter of
coeducatioa, exccp: to appoint a commit
tee to confer with Mrs. MOore, principal of
one of the female seminaries, in reference to
uniting it with the University. We presume
the question will be finally settled at the
next meeting of the Board, which will be
held at Oakland. Md, on the 2ith Of July.
The friends of the measure are confident of
its ultimate success.
Work on our new railroad is progressing
rapidly. The close of the summer will wit

bought the liquor store from Hollohan
for 5000 paving him &3OOin cash and giving
him mortgage for $500. Upon taking POS
session he discovered that nearl ly all the
bottles and many OF the barrels were filled
with water The next day he learned that
the real owner of the place was James Muir
taugh and that he had been duped. He,
therefore caused HoIahan's arrest. The
latter some time ago sold the place to John
NJ. Carroll, Of Yonkcrs, on the same terms
as lie sold to Abraham. A few days later
he demanded payment Of the mortgage and
as Carroll could not raise the money, he
! was sold out The license for the place
was procured BY Hollohan in the name of
Daniel Lawson and goods were bought in
the latter name. He could never be found,
however, and it was soon discovered that
he was a myth Justice German held the
