Attempt to Have the Indictment
Against John Nelson Quashed.

The attorneys Of John Nelson. indicted
for receiving stolen goods, will argue a
motion to have his indictment dismissed
before Mr.. Justice Wilbur tomorrow.
The ground for the motion is that
Nelson has been placed in
jeopardy once, and cannot, therefore,
be tried again under the law. Mr.. Du-
bois is not at all apprehensive that Nell
sod will escape without another trial and
has plenty of authority to support his
opinion. Bishops Criminal Law !"
quotes numerous cases in which 1t mas
been held that trial terminating through
the sickness of the judge, juror or the
prisoner, does not really put the defend
ant in jeopardy, though up to the time OF
its termination the prisoner was supposed
to be in jeopardy.
Before Mr.. Justice Rogers the suit Of
Appleton q Co. against Christopher
Thornton was heard before Mr.. Justice
Wilbur today. The action is
brought to recover sos for an
edition de luxe Of the cart OF the
World" An agreement was made be-
tween the agent of the publishers and the
defendant for an edition of the works
and afterwards another agreement was
made whereby Mr.. Thorpton was to re-
ceive better edition of the work, the
price being advanced. After Mr.. Thornton
had received the first instalment he tre-
fused to take any more, claiming that he
had been deceived. Thereupon suit was
brought. After the hearing Of the plain
tits witnesses the case was non-suited.

higher education Of the women OF Provi-
dence was begun several years ago
by the establishment of the "Woman's
Department Of Brown University" The
idea met with immediate enthusiasm
AMI today the students at the
woman's department have 50 increased in
number that the present accommoda-
tion3 are wholly inadequate, and the
propagandists of the doctrine OF co-edu-
cation have been compelledito cast about
for other means to accomplish their pur-
pose.
But the movement was essentially OF
vital Importance to the women of the
State; it was matter in which they were
included; it was for them to take
the initiative. Be 1t said to their
credit they have taken action that
in its fulfillment will give
to the youthful maid q place in the city
where she may receive intellectual in
struction and enlightenment, under the
same conditions and with as few restric-
tions as does her learned brother.
Commendation is due to Mrs. Elisha
Benjamin Andrews for taking the lead in
the cause. Last Thursday afternoon she
called a meeting at her home OF prominent
