The Good FellOWA.

The Good Fellows reunion last even
ing was Q most enjoyable affair, and al.
though many were no doubt prevented
from attending by the unpleasant
weather, there was quite a number
present, and their large hall in the
Lieberman building was we'll filled.
Mr.. Hall of Washington Lodge was
called to the chair, and the exercises
commenced by singing the opening ode
Of the order this was followed with
prayer by the Rev. T. R. Creamer, and
an address of welcome by William R.
Long.
The Rev. Mr.. Creamer tl,en spoke ofthe
benefits to be derived from beneficial
organizations, and conclusively showed
that 1t was the duty of every man to be
connected with them. John B. Lloyd
gave select reading and recitation, and
addresses were made by Charles Spear,
Edward Nelson and j. j. McMullin.
Robert Mcdonnell, the Oldest member
of tho order in the State, made few
remarks, and said that 1t was just for
ty-seven years ago since he became .
Good Fellow, and gave the members of
the order some excellent advice.
j. B. Lloyd being called upon gave
Peck's Bad Boys Bumper Degree, in q
that brought down the house,
and the exercises closed by singing the
ode Of the order.
An abundant suppy Of ice cream,
cakes and lemonade were served, sup.
with excellent segars, and
the audience dispersed we'll pleased with
the evenings entertainment.
There are two lodges of the Good Eel
lows in this.city, and the object of the
re .union was to bring together, as far as
possible, all who have ever been mem
Ders and try to induce then to come

WASHINGTON, May THE report
Of the Utah Commission was to-day
transmitted to the House of Represen
tatives. 1t makes the following sug'
gestions:
We recommend the enactment of z
law by Congress- giving to the first OF
legal wife the right of dover, as at com.
mon law, or other interest in the real
estate Of the husband. In order to
facilitate the execution of the punitory
provisions of the law it would be we'll
to provide for afund to be furnished by
the Department of ustice to the proper
legislative authorities of the Territory.
The Justices of the Peace of Utah
being nearly all Mormons we think 1t
would be an act of justice to all non-
MormOns to confer on United States
ners,conCurrent Jurisdiction
with the Justices of the Peace in mat
ters civil and criminal. We would
also suggest the advisability of consid.
ering q law for the appointment by the
Governor or District Judges of certain
Territorial and county officers who are
now elected. We are aware that
many good people in Utah and else
where are in favor of a legislative CON-
mission, which in the opinion of high
legal axthoritie.is of doubtful consti-
tutionality. Without presuming to-
decide this question, we think that ttl
is the part of wisdom to unite all the
friends of effective legislation ON
some plan which is likely to meet their !
rather than to attempt
that which may be unattainable at the !!
present time.

Holding or From OaI.

PITTsBuRG, May 7.-Yesterday's "a
savage dump overshadowed the horizon
of the oil market this morning, bat the
session show ed that both bulls and
bears were afraid TO make fresh ven.
lures. Rumors of all sorts were afoat,
but of reliable information there was
but little in the field. The market
opened strong al 961Sc, under the i'm.
preston that yesterday had oversold
itself, but after striking 97c, prices dew
down to 9471c, then rallied to $500,
dropped off to 941Sc, and finally rallied
to $3.50 at the close. The market was
heavy and trading was only fairly
active.
Yesterday, with drop Of almost six
cents, 1t is not at all surprising that
there should be failures to announce to-
day. One Of this number occurred In
the Petroleum Exchange, and the re-
naming two in the old exchange.
Those IN the latter were Z. W. .Newlin
and j. H. Thompson. President Coch-
ran sold for Newlin's account II, 600
barrels, and for Thompson 5000. The
total losses on the oil soil would, how
ever, not exceed 81 100.
In the Petroleum Exchange, A. A.
Adams failed to clear his sheet. He
had bought largely for delivery, Friday,
and being unable to put up margin
when called upon, his oil tothe amount
of about 10000 was sold by Henry
Fisher, vice president, in the absence of
President Bachelor. The total loss on
this will foot about $500.

Not long age citizen Of Michigan

he got paint brush and shiogle and
hung out sign reading 4" To Wrent. u
Everybody who passed by had q smile
at the orthograp6y, but it was three or
four days before che owner ventared to
ask of a butcher:
Say, what ox earth makes every
body grin at that sign ?'
Why. it's ths spelling that gets

1t was explained that the word
wrents was not exactly in accordance
with Webster's latest. and the speller
went away mumbling

And he did. Within two hours there

An AnnOy0nce.

Dealers and others dong business on
Front street complain of certain par
ties who persist in covering the awning
rails and side pieces with cheap cloth
ing, overalls, etc, to such an extent
that it is almost impossible for person
to pass along without being struck in
the face or have his hat knocked off.
One man, who has done business on that
street for years, says some of his neigh.
bors cover the fronts of their stores
with clothing, and almost hide his
place from view. The matter is one
that calls for police interference If it
cannot be abated in any other way.

WRECK OF THE FLORIDA.
ONE HUNDRED AAD r HIR r Y.
FIVE LIvE1 LOST, AND ONLY
FORTY.FOUR SAVED.

FATHER POINT, Quebec, May T.
The steamship Titania, from Glasgow,
passed inward at 2.46o' clock this morn
ing. She has on board twenty -four Of
tho crew of the steamship State oi
Florida, that vessel having been sunk
by Q collision with bark in mid-ocean.
Out Of 167 persons on the State of FlOri-
do only forty.f four were saved, and OF
the bark's crew only the captain and
two other men we're rescued. One
hundred and twenty. three souls went
down with the steamer and twelve with
the bark. making the total loss Of life
1856.
The members of the rescued party on
board the Titania presented pitiable
appearance. So sudden was the acci-
dent that many of them, who were in
their hunks at the time, had to hurry on
deck and into the boats In their night
clothes. Most of them had a very con-
fused idea of what transpired, but all
could distinctly remember the crash
and the rush for the deck.
QUEBEC, May 7.-Tbe survivors Of
the State Of Florida say they also re-
member the dash for the boats 90 the
ship went down, amid the shrieks and
lamentations of the passengers.
Those on duty at the time remember
seeing o red light fash for an instant
followed by an instantaneous crash,
after which nothing but confusion fol-
lowed, the steamer beginning to sink,
and hurried preparations being made to
launch the boats. The bark which
oollided with them went down instan-
taneously.
The frightened passengers rushed on
deck in their night clothes, and q scene
of indescribable confusion ensued. The
women went into Mysteries and the men
refused to move. The women espe-
cially objected to leave the vessel, some
who could have been saved absolutely
refusing to bulge an inch.
Those who clung to the bottom OF the
caps:zed boat all night suffered terribly
from the icy cold weather. though the
sea was calm. Nevertheless they did
not lose heart.
One Of their number, man named
Donaldson, was underneath the capsi-
zsd boat until they we're picked up by
one of the other boats in the morning.

During the thirty five hours they were
afloat they had not drop Of water to

the horrors of extreme thirst when they
we're rescued by the bark Theresa, Of
the kindness of whose officers and crew,
as we'll as ofthat of the officers aud crews
of the Louise, Of Cardiff, and the Titania
they ell spoke in the highest terms OF
gratitude and praise.
