Providence, Oct. 14.-In commemora-
tion OF the one hundred anniversary Of
the naming Of Brown university after
Nicholas Brown, Of the class Of 1856, an
Iexhibit Of mementoes Of Nicholas
Brown has been placed in the John
Carter Brown library. The exhibit
contains many rare and interesting
documents, official records, personal
letters and souvenirs of the earlies his
DRY Of the university. Among the most
interesting are letters from President

able document is the letter of Nicholas

iquence of which the name Of Rhode
Island college was changed to Brown
university.

HENRY BRooKs ARRESTED.
Colored Man Suspected Of Attempted
Robbery in West Haven.

CoIored Man Suspected of Attempted
Robbery in West Haven.
Henry Brooks, a colored man, was ar
rested in West Haven yesterday after
noon by Policeman Loomis on suspicion
of having been concerned in the at
tempted robbery that occurred early
Sunday morning in the grove at Savin
Rock.
The attempted robbery was made on
a servant girl employed by James B.
Smith, the broker and banker on Or
ange street, this city, whose residence
IS at Oak and Beach streets. At the
time the young woman was returning
from the city after having made some
purchases.
The man who attempted the robbery
seized her and attempted to take her
pocketbook away, but she screamed
and the man fled. 1t was thought at
the time that the assault was made by
rufflanly- looking fellow who alighted
simultaneously with the young woman
from the car at the grove.

EMULATION IN MIDDLEToWN
OVER IMPORTANT PROJECTED
RAILROAD CHANGES

OVER IMPORTANT PROJECTED
RAILROAD CHANGES.
Middletown, Oct 19.-There is great
elation here over the result of the con-
ference at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
between President Mellen, Of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road, and committees of the board Of
trade and the city council of this city.
The committees met President Mellen
for the purpose Of arranging if possible
for better freight facilities for this city.
President Mellen told the committee
that while he had plans under way for
four tracking the Shore line division
Of the road from New Haven to Boston
Z he had instructed the engineers Of the
road to prepare plans for the double
tracking of the Air line from New Ha-
ven to Wil1imantie, and the Valley di-
vision from MiddletoWn to Hartford.
He said 1t was question of expanding
millions for the abolition of expensive
grade crossings on one route or of
changing the route for the through pas
senger trains. He said that If the dou-
bic tracking Of the Air line and Valley
division was carried out that through
passenger trains would hereafter run
from New York to Boston by the Air
line, and that Springfield express trains
4 would run from Hartford to Middle
town and thence to New Haven, thus
doing away with dangerous grade cross
sirgs. He stated that the distance was
about four miles greater, but he be-
lieved the route would be SO much more
convenient for fast trains as to more.
than make up the difference.
Mr. Mellen also told the committees
that 1t would probably be decided in a
short time whether or not the Shore
line would be four tracked. In case the
change is made in the passenger route
the Shore line would be largely used as
through freight route.
Mr. Mellen also said that plans were
under way for the erection of the new
freight depot in this city. He said that
If the city would agree to do away with
the historic Riverside cemetery, which
bars the way to needed railroad inn
provements here he thought the pros
poets would be favorable for change
in the passenger route from New York
to Boston as he had detailed.
The committees assured Mr. Mellen
that such an arrangement would be
very satisfactory to the city and that
in all probability the city would stand
