neutrality-suspicious. OF Gazette and journal
NEWARK. June l5.-Quite bomb-sheil
was exploded in local circles yesterday
by the announcement that the main
building of Delaware College had been
condemned by AN experienced build
ing inspector from Wilmington, who vas
brought here to make thorough lnSpec-
ton. This is the original building, with
the Doric portico and pillars al the
entrance. 1t contains the oratory, large
auditorium on the second floor. while the
dnrmitories are located on the third floor.
The oratory has a seating capacity Of about
800 persons, though during the annual
commencement season 700 ana sometimes
500 people are crowded into it. and OH the
occasion OF any applause, which is likely
to be boisterous if the students accord it,
the vibration Of the floor is distinctly felt.
The inspection revealed that the joce were
inadequate for such Il weight, and in some
cases we're far from being sound, the same
being true of the sleepingrOom floor
above. After this report was made the
prudential committee of the Board of
Trustees finally decided TO abandon
the room during the present com.
menceincnt and hold all the. events in
the auditorium on the third floor Of the
new recitation hall to which the oratory
seats will be transferred. 1t is understood
the trustees were finally aroused to per
forming their duty In the matter through
the recent catastrophe III Washington. For
| three or four years the college authorities
| have had reason to suspect the strength OF
the oratory floor, and their attention has
been repeatedly called to its evident weak
ness, though as usual things were allowed
| to take their own course Several time:
your correspondent has called public at
tentioL to the matter, to no purpose, how

| examination made, the Newark public ii

they have taken toward ayerting fright
