Edam, from New York September for
Amsterdam, foundered after collision
at l o'clock this morning, fifty miles
southeast OF Start Point, off the southern
coast of England, with the steamer

one on board the Edam took to the
boats and all were picked up by the
trawler Vulture.
Tie steamer Beresford has arrived at
Plymouth, towing the Vulture and
three boats containing the captain,
crew aud passengers of the Edam. The
Edam carried rs in her crew all told.
She was fitted solely for Storage pas
sengers and freight. In the steerage
were Al adults, seven children and one

Oil Fire.

OlI H
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.-The plant
of the Sunlight Oil and Gasoline Com
pany, at 10th street and Grays Ferry
avenue, was presumably struck by
lightning at 2:30 o'clock this morning
and loud explosion followed, which
enysloped the place in flames. The
night Waterman was blown some dis
lance by the force of the explosion and
was found with all of his clothing burn
ed off and with his body terribly char
red. BE died few hours later. The
fire ragged fercely and the efforts OF
the fire department to e1tlnguish t
were futile. The plant covered six
acres, upon which were warehouse,
cooper shop, boiler and engine house
and fifteen tanks containing benzine
and gasoline. The sides ofthree of the
tanks burned away and the burn
ing oil began running all over the yard
and ignited several other tanks.
The manager of the works placed the
loss at 100000. The fire continued
burning this afternoon and the destruc-
ton of the plant ia believed to be COM
plete. The force of the explosion was
terrific. The roof of house 100 yards
away was lifted clean off the structure ;
and deposited fifty feet to one SIDE OF
its original position. The warehouse,
fiftv yards away, was smashed into
kindling wood before it was destroyed
hu the flames. Every tank in the yard
was in some way injured by the con-
cussion. -.--.--

REspITED.-Gov. O'Ferrall last night,
respited Solomon Marable, the negro
sentenced to be executed at Lunenburg
@ r., to. morrow. until Tuesday, Octo-
Der %. This action was taken at the
last moment. Sheriff Cardozo, of Luz
nenburg, went to Richmond yesterday
with three deputies to carry the DOOM
ed man to Lunenburg, where all ar
rangements for the execution had been
made.
Father Weber, of st. Joseph's Col
ored Catholic Church in Richmond,
who has taken deep interest in the ne
gro's case, visited the Governor again
yesterday, and pressed him to grant a
respite. Father Weber seems impress
ed with the belief that Marable was not
the principal in the murder of Mrs. Pol
lard, but another and more intelligent
person was. This idea is based entire
" upon statements made to him by
Marable.
The three negro women in whose
favor the Court Of Appeals on Tuesday
granted writs of error are pretty certain
to obtain new trials. This, however,
cannot be done, if done at all, before
October or November. 1t is believed
that the Governor will again reprieve
Marable until the result Of these new
trials, if granted, are known. 1t seems
to be the Governors idea in granting
Marable a respite that he may be used
as witness in the event the women
obtain new trial.

The law is the same in this city as in

peculiar and tempting opportunities for

At the afternoon session of the Sow
ereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows at
Atlantic City yesterday, amendments
to the constitution came up for final
action. The first amendment was the
addition of another section to article Is,
providing that no saloonkeepers, bar
tenders, or professional gamblers shall
be eligible to membership in the order.
This Immediately raised spirited
debate, which lasted more than three
hours. The vote was finally taken
amid the utmost confusion, and the
amendment passed by vote of 1877 to
80, the requisite numbering 135. This
amendment has been successfully in
troduced at the annual sessions for four
or five years past, but its supporters
were never able to pass it until yester-
day.
When this had been done the hour
was so late that the second important
amendment was laid over until to-
day. This is an amendment to
section 2 of article 16; so that
it shall read thus: "No person
shall be entitled to admission to this
order except free white males of good
moral character, who have arrived at
the age of twenty-one years; provided,
however, that subordinate grand juris-
dictions may provide by constitutional
enactment for the admission of Indian
blood, and provided further, that in
Australia, New Zealand, and other
countries not on the continent Of North
America, in which the the order has
been or may hereafter be established
and grand lodge or grand lodges
formed, the qualification as to the age
shall be left to local legislation"
A committee was appointed to take
action in regard to the purchase of
property in Baltimore, Md, for the use
of the sovereign grand secretary.
Treasurer Isaac A. Shepard rendered
his resignation. Failing health being
given as the cause. Mr.. Richard Muckle
