FRATERNITIES AT CORNELL.
BOTH SECRET AND NoN-sEcRET SOCIETIES
FLOURISH AT THAT UNIVERSITY

A
Ithaca n. Y. Dec 10 (SpeciaD.-The week which
sees the abolition of sophomore societies at Yale
also sees several developments favorable frater-
mites at Cornell The important is the forma-
ton of a new fraternity. Delta Gamma, by a num-
Der OF students in the graduate school OF the
university. The fraternity starts with a dozen
universities taking the masters or doctors
degree at Cornell II will be secret and chapters
will be formed in other universities should de-
mand for them be found The fraternity will admit
undergraduate members on equal footing In order
to give stability to the organization. It differs from
other Greek letter fraternites In that members OF
the others eligible to membership In Delta
Gamma.
Cornell has for years been one OF the strongest
fraternity universities in the country Nearly one
fourth of the undergraduates belong TO the twenty
seven fraternities Delta Gamma Is tWenty-eghth
In the list and is the first society to establish
Cornell a chapter. The new fraternity has secured
a comfortable house the campus and OF
the members living under its roof.
The senior class honorary society OF sphinx Head
changed this week from secret to non-secret
In the past who have earned an election
to this society have not felt free TO accept 1t be-
cause Of les secrecy, and there seemed to be no
reason for not removing the objection. Quill and
Dagger and Chancery. the other senior honorary
societies, have yet taken no similar action.
Dunston the sophomore honorary society. organized
last year by members of the senior class, seems
to be prospecting and has kept out the features
which made Yale sophomore societies unpopular.

Coroner Jury Asks for Some
Protection at the Foot of
Orange Street.
CANNING WALKED OVERHEARD
A Verdict of Death by Accidental
Drowning Was Promptly Rem
dered by the Jury After
Number of Witnesses Had
Been Examined.

Coroner Nandever last night held an
inquest over the remaius of John H.
Canning. which were found floating on
the waters OF the Christiana river near
the Market street bridge by the captain
OF the tug Powell on Wednesday morn
ing.
There were no evidences OF violence on
the body and after number OF witnesses
were examined, the jnry promptly
agreed to verdict of accidental drown
ing.
1t was the impression of the jurors as
well as the relatives and friends of the
| deceased who were witnesses at the in
quest, that another life had been sacri-
| feed because the city has neglected to
protect the wharves along the Christlana
at the foot of the various streets.
1t is probable that CANNING had
walked overheard at the foot Of Orange
street, which is entirely unprotected.
A strong resolution was adopted by
the jury, requesting the Street and Sewer
Department to have gate placed at tht
/ Orange street wharf.
This is, Of course, but one Of the many
dangerous wharves. Both King anC
French street wharves are exceeding
dangerous, many narrow escapes ar,
made at those places.
