THE DELAWARE COLLEGE TROUBLE.
The unfortunate dissension in the I
ranks of the faculty of Delaware Col
lege has created considerable interest |
and provoked much comment, particu-
larly in and around Newark. A re- |
porter visited that place and found the
excitement almost at white heat.
Of course both sides in the conflict |
have their versions of the affair to tell.
although at the meeting of the trustees
on Thursday, DIR. Purnell was COM
pletely vindicated and relieved of all
the charges brought against him bv
Professors Jefferis and Reinhart. who
evidently attempted bold coup detat
to turn the investigation away from
the latter gentleman. The two profess
sors have evidently put their foot in it.
which is clearly proven if it be correct
that both have expressed regret and
sorrow at their action, and one is will
ing to resign if allowed to go in peace.
The meeting of the faculty this week
will probably be an interesting and
important one, and it is more than
probable that after cool thought and
careful consideration the dispute will
be satisfactorily settled and the College
continue in its march of usefulness and
prOgress.-DeLdCdre Gazette
BISHOP SCoTT'S FUNERAL.-The old
Scott homestead a mile and a-half out of
Odessa, was Monday thronged with
visitors, who came from all directions
to attend the funeral services of the
late Bishop Scott.
On the ample and shady lawn i'll front
of the mansion the visitors sat and dis
cussed the various pleasant recOllec-
tiOns of the good Bishops life.
Many learned with surprise that the
old log cabin where the Bishop first
saw the light of day was still standing
on the grounds and visited the historic
relic with considerable interest. 1t is
now used as a granary, but the stout
timbers are apparently as good and
sound as when they were first fitted
| together, over u century ago.
Among those who came to ION i'm the
funeral services were Bishops Simpson
