The trustees Of Columbia College a
their meeting Monday decided to admi
in future to their institution women OF
exactly the same footing as men. Tn,
various members of the board have fol
some time displayeda willingness to give
women chance to educate themselves,
| The trustees have not been urged to take
the step by the so-called women sympa.
thizers, nor has any pressure OF
that description been brought to
bear upon them. Although the meeting
Monday was an executive one,- il
was understood that none of the trustees
opposed the resolutions by virtue of
which the great institution was thrown
open to women. Not only did the trus-
tees freely accord this right to women,
but they also conferred on one of that sex
an honorary degree. The woman who
received this mark of distinction is Miss
Winifred Edgerton. She has for some
time been studying in the Columbia
Observatory. Her examination showed
that she had performed some
really meritorious scientific work III
practical astronomy and mathematics OF
TINT class. The trustees felt it their duty
to show her some recognition of their ap-
probation of her work in the interest of
science, and they Monday conferred
upon her the title of doctor of Phi
losophy cum laude."
The resolutions by virtue of which
women are to be nd uitted to the privileges
of Columbia College set forth that they
shall be entitled to the degree OF Bachelor
of Arts, after having studied for four
years collegiate course fully equivalent
to that now used by men, provided, of
course, that they pass satisfactorily the
regular examinations. Women who do
not wish to study the full course may
of inferior range, and, if they pass
the examination in these, they will be en- |
titled to receive certificates signed by the |
college authorities in which their pro-
ficiency in the various brancheswhich they /
have taken up will be set forth. Women /
who wish to become special students at

from Galveston, Texas, says: Word has
been received from Terrell, Texas, of a
serious shooting ARRAY which occurred
there Monday night. Orange Terrell and
Miles Henderson have been counting Miss
Sophia Wilson and the jealousy between
the two had led to several qdarrels. Mon

the lady's house and found Henderson
ahead of him. He Immediately opened fire
shooting Henderson in the centre of the
breast, the ball glancing upward over his
shoulder. Terrell's aim was then directed
to the woman. After employing his pistol,
one of the shots taking effect in her leg,
he fled. Reloading his pistol he returned
to the house took off his shoes and lay
down on bed in the front room, an
nouncing that he had come back to die in
that house.
In the meantime Jim Keller, the city
marshal, was notified that Terrell was in
house, and in company with several others
went and surrounded it. Keller, enter
ing the house by way of the back door,
passed through the kitchen and came 10
the door of the front room. Seeing Ter
rell lying on the bed he commanded him
to throw up his hands and surrender.
Terrelps hands went up but in one of
them was his pistol which he fired at
Keller as he raised, barely missing him.
The marshal then fired five or six shots,
completely riddling Terrell with bullets.
Terrell was killed instantly AMI did not
speak.
