FIVE LIVES LOST
In the Storm on the Delaware Bay on
Saturday Night.

IN the Storm on the Delaware Bay on
Saturday Night.
The large barge Sunrise, bound for
Norfolk, foundered in Delaware Bay,
near the buoy Of the Brown, near Lewes,
on Saturday night, and five persons were
drowned The Sunrise was drawing twenty
two feet Of water. and the captain de-
cided TO 80 up the bay to the Brown
Shoals, where the water is smoother, to
anchor. This is one of the most danger
Gus shoals in the bay, and vessels that
anchor there usually. go over well TO
wards the eastern side of the channel.
Either the captain did not know this, or
else be mistook his bearings in the fog,
for he dropped his anchor close to the
bell bnoy.
The tug B. w. Morse which had her
in tow. then left her and went to the
Breakwater. which is about nine miles
from that point. 1t was about
midnight when the captain found
that the vessel was drifting
RAPIDLY with the wind, which was blow
ing at the rate of sixty miles an hour,
and the seas were tremendous. The
decks Of the vessel were almost flooded.
He paid out more cable, but
to no avail, as the vessel was
then near the dangerous shoals. When
she struck them she quivered from bow
to stern. The pumps were tried and she
was found to be leaking badly The
water gained to such an extent that the
captain began preparing to leave the
vessel in q skiff. Joseph Coyle, one of
the seamen, slid down the ropes and cast
off the hooks from the skiff, and got into
it. While the captain was trying
TO hand Coyle the oars, huge
wave lifted the barge on its crest and the
painter parted with snap The barge
gave a sudden lurch and seemed to 60 to
pieces. Coyle saw no more of the barge
or any Of the crew The crew was
composed of the captain, his wife, two
small children and two seamen, ali OF
which but Coyle perished in the waves.
Coyle then drifted about in the skift
and when near morning was
washed ashore near the Lewes life saving
station. The captain is young mar
from the east, but neither he or his crew
are known. Coyle is now in the hospi

WHAT ARE THEY AMONG 50 MANYFI
Bishop Coleman's sermon at Trinity
Church. Confirmation.

Bishop Coleman's sermon at Trinity
church h-Conhrmation.
Trinity p. E. Church, Eleventh and
Adams streets, had the largest congre-
ton last night that it has ever contained.
The occasion was the administering OF
the rite Of confirmation by Right Rev
Leighton Coleman. d. D., l.. L. D., bishop
of the diocese. The offertory was for dioces-
ian missions, for which object the bishop
made some eloquent remarks. He also
referred to the need OF a large church
edifce, as evidenced by the large crowds
in the church and that had been turned
away.
After the usual evening PRAYER Bishop
Coleman preached from the text st. John
6, 9. "What are they among so manyrF
from the miracle of feeding the thou
sands He said in part: When Jesus
saw the multitude he Immediately asked
his disciples for something to feed the
crowds. st. Andrew told him of the boy
who had five barley loaves and three
small fishes. The boy gave them with
out one word Of reproach, gladly, and
! thankfully. But what are they among
so manyY Tell them to sit down was
the answer. Obedience was instant, they
sat down and were fed as you know, and
many baskets were gathered up OF the frag
men S This shows us not to be afraid that
our aUtainments are not great enough for
the contests of life. Take the instances
of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednigo,
Daniel, st. Paul, Athenasius; each was
one among many yet the first three lived

trayersed the whole of the then known

This is the entering wedge for formal

house deciding 70 take up the proposed canon
on Marriage and Divorce only men were
admitted 10 the floor during the debate
DIR. Franklin, in presenting the canon, said
the necessity for il was pressing, for social
order was threatened. He moved the adop
ton of the first section, as follows:
II any persons be ioiued together otherwise
than o. Gods Word doth allow, their marriage
is not lawful.
1t was moved that the next section be en-
tirely omitted. IL was as follows:
Marriage is prohibited by the Word Of God.
and BY this church, Within the degrees OF con.
sanguinity and affinity specified IN Lev xviii, 6-ls.
DR.. Franklin claimed that If this was done
the whole subject was left open end the
crime OF incest became feasible. The ques-
tions Of affinity and consanguinity were de-
fined by Leyiticus, and among other thing
forbade man marrying his deceased wiies
sister or his stepdaughter
The section was rejected by a vote Of i34 &c
| 20. On opening ths evening session the house
confirmed the following nominations sent
down by the bishops: Rev. Edward Abbott.

at Yeddo, Japan; Rev. Anson r. Graves, oi
Minneapolis, TO be missionary bishop in the

France and Turkey.

PARIS, Oct 24-The journal des Debats,
commenting on the visit OF Emperor William
Of Germany to Turkey and its effects upon
the European situation, recalls the declara-
tion made by Prince Bismarck that the east
ern question was not worth the bones Of a
single Pommeranian grenadier, and the fact
that Emperor William, during the banquet
to the car on his late visit TO Berlin, toasted,
the Russian army which captured Plevna.
Under these circumstances, the paper
points out, II would be impossible for the sui
tai TO join the triple alliance. IL also says
that Turkey has an army which enables her
to dispense with all allies. Nothing menaces
Turkey whose security is best assured by her
Independence. French interests in the east
are bound up with the interests Of Turkey,
and consequently there is no more decided a
partisan OF the integrity Of Turkey than
France.

Tho origin Of tho fire Is unknown. The

show that the fire originated in the engine
room, 50 far as can be ascertained, and
spread with inconceivahlo rapidity, the

in very few moments
Crazy with Pain.
The engineer managed 20 climb out Of the
engiue room, though not until he had been
severely burned. Crazy with the pain, he
threw himself into tho wator Ike managed
to catch piece Of wreckage, and was picked
up later by passing steamer. Later re-
ports say his condition is dangerous, the
probabilities not being in favor OF his ro-
coyery. The rescued man is unable 10 talk,
and his story cannot be learned further than
given. There must have been al least two
or three hands on the steamer, and ms moth
ing has been heard from them they can
hardly have escaped.
Tho Quinte SINKS.
The vessel which picked up the engineer
was attracted to the spot by the light from
tho burning Quinte, bus shortly before the
would-be roscuers reached her she sank II
is supposed that Capt Chriftie and hL
brother were burned TO death while trying

and the ladys maid and boy.
