AND COLLEGE MEN \
CONSIDER frat" QUESTION

The subject of fraternities con-
nected with Delaware College,
which has caused more or less
controversy during recent years,
was discussed at conference held
last night between a special COM
mittee of the Board of Trustees
and representative of the differ
ent parties concerned. Chancellor
Charles M. Curtis is chairman of
the special committee Of the board
which was appointed recently to
look into the matter of the "frats"
and report back to the board with
recommendations. H. R dney
Sharp of Wilmington and Mayor
Joseph H. Hossinger, are the other
two members of this committee.
The conference last night was
held in the office of DR.. Samuel c..
Mitchell, president of the college.
Charles w. Bush and Hugh M.
Morris, had been previously
named to represent the Alumni at
this conference and DR.. George A.
Harter and Professor Charles A.
McCue, the faculty. All of them
attended the meeting with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Morris, who was de-
tanned in Wilmington. 1t had also
been suggested that the four fra
ternities get together and name
two men to represent them, but
. this was not understood. The
"frats", however, will later name
such a committee to meet at times
: with the joint committee.
l Chancellor Curtis, who presided
at the conference, explained tha
under the resolution of the boart
creating the committee the sub

DePont Eplosion Felt Here

The heavy explosion in one Of
the mills of the Hagley Yard of
the dupont Powder Co., which oc
Cured about 8.45 Friday night
was felt distinctly in Newark. The
windows of the houses were rat
tied and the explosion distinctly
heard. According to current re-
port two mills, numbers 8 and 10,
went up Fortunately the explo-
sion occurred five minutes before
changing time. When the mills
are charged the employees leave,
and consequently no men were in
the building or within the danger
zone. The mill contained two hun
dred pounds of powder. An Off
cial of the company who arrived
at the scene declared that the ex,
plosion could not be attributed tc
any particular cause.

Big Fire
Near Appleton
Of Dean Smiths Farm
DESTROYED

Fire, supposed to have been
caused by defective flue, was
discovered about ten o'clock last
Friday night on the farm located
near Appleton, Cecil county, Md,
owned by E. Laurence Smith,
Dean of Delaware College. The
dwelling, barn, and a number of
outhouses on the farm, with their
contents were totally destroyed.
The farm was tenanted by Charles
Blackson, whose loss is a heavy
one.
Mr.. Blackson and family were
away when the fire began. The
blaze originated in the house, and
was we'll under way before discov-
cred A high wind prevailed, car.
rying the fire directly toward the
other buildings. Neighbors arriv
ing upon the scene were unable tt
do anything beyond save the live
stock. Their attention was turn
ed rather, from the hopeless sit
uation, to the saving of building
on the adjoining Zebley farm, tn
wind carrying whole shingles TO
distance of many yards. TIL
Newark Fire Company played fo
several hours on the Zebley prop
erty. All the buildings were in
sured, but Mr.. Blackson had no in
: surance on his personal effects
Mr.. Blackson's loss is estimate
at $4,000, and Dean Smiths a
S2500. The barn contained 2
tons of hay, 500 bushels of oat:
: 200 bushels of wheat, 200 bushel
corn, and a large quantity of foe
der. The principal buildings whic
were of stone have been standin
since before the Civil War.

legal technicalities through which
hey seek to set aside the sheriff's
deed.
The Tonopah Banking corporation
is one of the principal owners of the
property at present, while, prior to
The sale, Frank Wildes, receiver OF
the State Bank and Trust company

How time fiies," exclaimed the
editor and manager of the Bonanza,
as he consulted the calendar this
morning. and delivered this mono
logue, more to himself than to his
hired man, who is amanuensis for
this occasion.
Here it is the 23d of March, 1915.
1t doesn't seem possible that on to
morrow fourteen years will have
elapsed since struck the camp. The
years have slipped by and have TO
look twice at the row of files to con-
vince myself that it will be fourteen
years in June since the Bonanza was
established. think sometimes that

but he has been kindly as well as
pressing, and | recall with gratitude
the little favors he has done me
along the way.
I'VE got off the narrow gauge at
Sodayille, bade farewell to old Bob
Stewart, the mayor since time imme-
mortal OF that big little city, and
swung out on Esser & Humphreys
stage. Frank Humphrey, If | remem-
Der Alright, handled the ribbons him
self. We bowled along all the after
where we had the whole starry sky
to sleep under, but mighty few bed
clothes for the searching air of a
March night. This was the first stage
coach to arrive in Tonopah. It was
purchased from Greek George in
Hawthorne and brought to Sodaville
on a fiatcar, where it was unloaded
and the horses hooked on.
Included in our party We're Tom
Kennedy of Virginia City, Cal Brough'
/ er, Bannock Jim and Delmar, the
gambler, We made the best of the
dusty, bumpy trail and got fairly
well acquainted before the lights OF
Tonopah burst upon us. You who
have come later, particularly in tbs
early days of the railroad, will re
member how good those lights looh
ed, all asparkle from the summit Of
Brougher to the tip of eddie, with thu
canyon all agleam, like brilliant in
yerted constellation, cluster of th'
stars Of hope.
But there were no lights in thosl
days, except the occasional flicker o
candle through the flap of a pros
pector's tent, or the dingy glow of
kerosene lamp in thirst parlol
There were scarcely sixty people j
the camp then, but, what are you dc
ing, taking down my ramblings, whe
you ought to be getting out copy?"

Although devoid of any marked in
crease in assay values, results being
obtained by the Atlanta Mines COM
pany in the exploration of the ore
body above the 1750-foot level of the
Union Jack claim stamp it as one of
the most gigantic finds that has been
made at great depth along the latte
shale contact in this district, says
the Goldfeld Tribune. Each days
work is proving the ore body of
greater size and the uniformity of
values is truly remarkable. Despite
the fact that exploration work in the
ore body proper has been in prog
ress for nearly two months and the
results obtained have constantly i'm
proved, the limits of the great mass
of pay ore remain yet to be defined.
The mine is now a regular shipper.

DEPOSIT OF MARBLE
IS BEING EXPOSED
PRELIMINARY SURVEY FOR CAR
ARA RAILROAD HAS BEEN
COMPLETED

The channellers at the quarry have
been lowered to the seventh floor,
which owing to the slope of the hill
is half again as large as was the
sixth, and are cutting away as expe-
ditiously as usual, says the Carrara
obelisk. The derrick is busily pull
ing the remainder of the marble, al
ready cut, on the sixth floor. and viii
soon be following close behind the
machines on the seventh.
The dump is increasing in size
daily, the waste rock being rolled
down the hill, and the good marble
blocks are piling up against the day
when the proposed railroad can start
them on their way to a waiting mar
ket.
The completion of the preliminary
survey of the railway posses the
transportation problem on to the en-
gineers, and the next step will be the
final running of lines for the compila-
ton of grades and dirt removal.
There will be comparatively no dirt
I removal on the first mile of track,
as shown by the preliminary survey,
and the grade is so slight that an
electric storage battery locomotive
will be able to move the cars over
this stretch of track without difficult
ty, leaving but two miles to be ope-
rated by cable.
The compressor tank has been CON
nected with the quarry reservoir, Civ
ing continuous flow of cool water,
which will greatly aid the efficiency
of the machines.
The lining of the upper reservoir
has received second coat of cement
and is now impervious to leakage.
4 The top is not of sufficient depth to
allow of an evaporation sufficient to
be taken into account. The pumping
station has been running smoothly
without trouble.
The company has installed an ap
probable amount Of permanent i'm
provements which will prove of aid
in efficiency lines. The garage Ii
turned into a fairly well equipped
machine shop and all ordinary me
chanical troubles will now be han
died there without difficulty
