COLLEGE FRATERNITIES.
CHICAGO, Mar. 7.-The gravest
indictment which has yet been drawn
aeainst thesecret societies in the
Chicago High Schools in the hands
of President Schnyder, president of
the Board of Education.
It is contained in a report of an
investigation made, at President
Schnyder's request, by the dectives of
the city police department
In substance report charges that
gross immorality is practised at
several of the fraternity houses. Six
specific instances are cited in which
women (not connect in any way with
the schools) have been found, har
bored in the houses, the boys in each
case being members of the fraternity
which maintains the building.
President Schnyder has had the re
port for several days but has declin
ed to make it public.
At its meeting yesterday the school
management committee to which the
"anti-frat" resolution had been re
turned by the board at its last meet
ing passed the measure again by vote
of 4to 2 thus making it extremely pos
sible that it will be passed finally by
the board at its meeting Wednesday
night

after which she is supposed to return
to this port for station duty.

The British bark Castle Rock now
out 167 days from Sydney, Australia,
with coal for Girvin & Eyre, at Port
land, and upon the fate of which
there is much speculation, has been
given up as lost by the best informed
men hereabout. The voyage, even at
its longest, rarely exceeds 60 days
and the extraordinary lapse of 107
days is unaccountable upon any plau
sible pretext. She might do the re
markable stunt performed by the
British ship Allahabad over 20 years
ago, when she rode into this port just
180 days from Hong Kong. Every
body had given her up for lost and
some had almost forgotten her in the
rush of other and nearer interests,

His fall was only seventy feet, yet
that would be more than enough to
satisfy a temperate person. He has
narrated his sensations in minute de
tail 5;:-
At first, says the Gateway, he seem
ed to himself to be (lying through
the air. His (all really could have
occupied only a few seconds, but his
train of thought was long and full of
interesting detail.
"I clearly saw," he says, "the pos
sibility of my fate. I said to myself:
'The rocky wall from which I am now
being hurled prevents my seeing what
is at its base. The snow may be
melted there, or there may be none;
if there is any, my life may be saved
Otherwise daeth is inevitable.
" 'If I am conscious on reaching
the earth 1 have by me a bottle of
aromatic and my alpenstock. I will
still grasp it, for it may serve me in
good stead.' 1 thought, too, of re
moving my eyeglasses lest their splin
tering might cause injury.
"Other and gentler thoughts for
those I was to leave behind came
upon me. For myself I felt indiffer
ent, caring really little whether 1
should be much injured or not; but
from motives of consideration for
others I felt impelled, as it were, to
make light of the matter. I seemed
to call aloud, 'I am not much hurt.'
I recollected that in five days
more I was to have delivered an in
augural discourse, and thought of the
grief my death would cause to those
near and dear to me. Anon, lying
as it were, on the limit of a far dis
tant horizon, appeared distinct and
divers images and episodes in my
past life. The whole mental picture
stood out clear-cut and illumined by
divine and mysterious light.
"All things seemed lovely and of
good report. There were no misgiv
ings, no anxieties, no sorrow, pain or
terror."
"There were no sensations of con
test or strife. All was merged in feel
ings of genial good will and kindly
feeling. Such feelings predominated
over all and formed what was truly
a unique and lovely picture.
"Gradually a heaven of glorious
blue, flecked with crimson clouds of
gossamer lightness, surrounded . me.
In them I was wafted ,to and fro,
borne up from below, but painlessly
and pleasantly, while a vast and mov
ing snowficld seemed to accompany
me. Anon, the perception of objects,
subjective thoughts, a medley of vari
ous feelings, seemed to circle in con
centric maze around as a common
center.
"Then came a dull thud, which I
heard very distinctly, but did not feel
and. my. fall wa ended. At that
instant a dark veil passed before me.
"I called aloud three or four times,
'I am not much hurt,' grasped my
glasses, which lay near me, and
touched my limbs to make sure they
were not broken.
"Then I saw my companions slowly
approaching. They told me a good
half-hour had elapsed after my fall
before I spoke.
"I had lost consciousness, and that
explains that dark veil. Later the
power of thinking returned. I was
conscious only so long as I was fall
ing of the perception of beautiful
images. At that moment 0! contact
with earth they disappeared."

FALLING FROM HEIGHTS.
