A Dtficulty at Curry University,

President Rowe finds it very difficult to
promptly give an audience to the hundreds
who are daily making inquiries as to courses
of study and tuitions, and has had to call
upon several members of the faculty to as
sist him. AS is we'll known, this institution
has full collegiate department, with class
ical, scientific, normal and seminary
courses, as we'll as an English course. There
is also the Business College and School of
Shorthand, each the largest of their kind in
the city, besides q conservatory of music
and school of elocution. With an annual
enrolment of many hundreds of students,
it is no small task to properly classify and
arrange courBes of study for so many who
desire to begin their studies at the opening
of the term. Prof. Rowe's well-known ex-
ecutive ability is especially apparent in the
excellent organization of the large institu-
ton over which he presides. Day and
evening sessions begin in all departments

HARRIS'S DOOM.
To Die by ELECTRICITY in the
Week of March 81.
Motions for a New Trial Denied
by Recorder Smyth.
An Appeal to the Highest Court to
lie Taken by Harris's Counsel.

Carlyle ". Harris, the young medical stu
dent, was this morning sentenced by Re-
corder smyth, IN Part III, or the General
Sessions, to be Judicially killed by
electric shock at slug Sing during the week
beginning March II, 1882, for poisoning to
death his young girl-wilc, Helen Mary Nelson
Potts.
The COURTROOM was crowded, principally
with representatives OF the legal profession.
Few women were present.
Harris's mother was absent.
Judge Cowing occupied the bench with
Recorder Smyth.
Lawyer Taylor moved for a new trial for
Harris, on the ground that the evidence
showed only that sulphate OF morpnine was
used. while the indictment charged that NOR
phine was employed; ; that the verdict was
contrary TO the evidence and on many other
legal technicalities.
Recorder Smyth overruled the motion, and
the Clerk called "Carlyle W. Harris to the
bari"
BY the advice OF counsel, Harris had moth
ing TO say why the judgment OF the Law
should rot be pronounced upon him.
In an impressive manner the grim old
Judge pronounced the words which doomed
he young wiie-poisoner to be judicially
killed by electric shock at Sing sing Prison
during the week beginning March 2l.
Harris was cool and showed no signs Of
breaking down. lie was taken back TO tn,
Tdnbs.
No sooner had he been sentenced than
his counsel, Lawyer Jerome, served d
notice OF appeal upon Distrct-Attorney
Nicoll, and certified copies upon the clerk o.
the court and sheriff German.
This appeal, as In previous capital cases
Will act as a stay OF proceedings.
