THE MoLINEUX CASE.

New York. May 1i.--There was n long
argument in the Molineux case before
Justice Jerome i'm the court of special
sessions yesterday. Barlow $. Weeks.
counsel for Molineux. contended that
as the grand jury had passed upon the
Identical points at issue Justice Jerome
had no Jurisdiction. Then Mr.. Weeks
announced that he was ready for trial.
and the district attorney stated that he
was also ready. After further delibera-
tion. Mr. Weeks stated that he would
waive examination and asked Justice
Jerome to fix bail The justice said that
in waving examination the case was
taken out OF his hands and was i'm the
hands OF the grand jury. and he re-
fused to accept or fix any bail. It Is
expected that. as the trand jury refused
90 find an Indictment against MolineuX
in the first instance. IL will do so again.

NUNS big show used to captivate
Rhode Islanders and IT was a wonder
full aggregation. but big as Ii was ii
did not excel even il il equalled the
Forepaugh & Sells Bros combination
which will exhibit on Reservoir avenue
on Thursday June |.
Speaking Of this circus the New York
Evening News says:
"The Forepaugh * Sells Bros circus,
which opened at the Garden last night,
scored a hit. A great many people who
attended the opening feared that IL
wouldn't be as good as Barnum's,' but
IL stood comparison with the greatest
show on earth, and came through with
flying colors. Everyone in the large
audience. old and young alike. enjoyed
the performance, and for the next TWO
weeks the ticket sellers will be kept
busy. The town is circus hungry. and
as soon as word goes around that this
show is first-class there will be
