Resolutions on the Death OF Joseph Pyle.

The officers and members of the Il.
W. Grand Conclave and subordinate
conclaves of the Order of Ileptasophs,
or 5. W. NJ. of Delaware, at meeting
OF Friendship Conclavc, No. /, Of
which the late Joseph Pyle was mem
ber, adopted the following resolutions
Whereas, The Great Supreme Archon
and Ruler of the Universe, has in his
Infinite wisdom subjected us to sad
bereavement in calling home to rest
and everlasting JOY our most devoted
and loving brother and wise counselor,
Joseph Pyle, Past Supreme ArGhOn OF
the Order of lieptasophs, or $. w. NJ. 4,
IN theUnit"d States, he having worthily
attained the most eminent position Of
honor in our order and gained the love
and esteem OF all who knew him
therefore, he il
Resolved, That in the loss Of our be-
loved brother, Joseph Pyle, we have in
our order a vacancy that cannot be
hlled by any other with such sincerity
and devotion, us shown by our de-
ceased brother during his sojourn with
u.s. His unceasing efforts in it9 VOL
fare ana untirlng energy has produced
great prosperity to Friendship Con
clave No. !. His counscis have always
been given in wisdom truth and
benevolcnce, We deplure his loss 10
our order, to Christianity and 10 the
world. They arc few, who have fol-
lowed go closely in the Saviour foot
steps as he, and the world has been
made better that he las been in it; for
the good seed which he has sown will
bear fruit an hundred fold. He has
born hls cross in mcnl;ness and humil-
ity, his anchor has been firmly fixed in
Christ his Saviour, who has now
blesscd him with the promised crown.
We offer our coincidence to those whc
are nearest and dearest TO him, in the
deepest, sincerest Bympathy. In God
we trust, and soon we shall see him
again, and then We shall understand.
| For
He is not dead but sleeneth;
| lie has only left the clay,
| To dwell with God in Heaven,
In realms Of endless day.
In u house of many mansions,
| Which the saviour has prepared;
To wear the crown Of glory,
Which His promise has declared.

A hill prohibiting pool selling has
been reported favorably TO the lower

"On thu 9th we were able to get where
there were flour, meal and beef slowed.
Being then supplied with stores and
plenty of water, our next move was to
get some way Of cooking it. Getting the
piece of the cook stove from the galley
and some bricks from the engine room
floor we rugged up quite stove, enap-
ling us to secure good rations.
"We remained there on the house until
the 10th, when . the steamer Bushmllle
hove in sight. The captain of the steam
or, thinking 1t impossible to tow our
vessel into port, we concluded to leave
her to the mercy Of the wind and waves.
We were all taken aboard the steamer and
as We were some distance out noticed
smoke arising from the abandoned vessel
The spanker had been lying on the house
by the stove and had probably caught
fire from the latter, possibly setting fire
to the vessel, although we did not see it
burn.
''The steamer being bound for Ger
many, the captain concluded to land US
at Plymouth, Eng, at which place we
arrived April g. There made my pro-
test and took the train for Southampton
there until May 2, when, with
three of the officers, I sailed on the
steamer City of Paris for New York. ar

Monumental Records.

Rev. DIR. Bawn delivered the second
lecture in his course on the Monumental
Records at the First Baptist church last
evening to an audience of fully as many
people as listened to that Of Monday
night.
After speaking Of Thebes and its great
temples the lecturer exhibited pictures of
Seti 1. and his son Rameses H., who
was the Pharaoh of the Bible, and dwelt
at considerable length upon the great
works that had marked their reign. He
told how their bodies had been discovered
and how their genuineness was attested
by the fact that all the garments in
which they were wrapped bore their
names, the Egyptian custom in burying
kings. He showed how the dates Of the
reign of the Egyptian kings proved that
the Bible was correct when 1t stated that
they covered period OF about four
thousand years and not seventeen
thousand, as has been claimed by some
historians. He showed the evidence dug
from the earth to prove that bricks were
made without straw-thus upsetting the
argument of the infdel Col Ingersoll-
and stated that every one Of those
Egyptian bricks bore the name of the
king during whose reign it was made.
Jerusalem, was exhibited in its various
conditions as 1t existed from time to
time, until it's fall. and it's final destruo-
ton by Titus. Throughout the lecture
one point was never lost sight Of and that
was that wherever in the excavations
among these old ruins in Egypt and
Palestine there was brought to light
evidence supporting the Scriptures, this
evidence was produced to show how COR
rect the seriptural writings were.

irving in the latter city Saturday"
The schooner Eunice l.. Crocker was
one of the largest and best three asted
schooners on the coast being built in
Bath, Me-, in 1890. at cost of $40, 600.
The vessel was principally owned by
franklin (Mass.) and Portland parties.
Captain Croker is son of Captain j.
B. Croker of this city.
News Of the loss of the Eunice L..
Croker was first bought by the Steam
ship Prodano. The Prodano sighted the
Crooker on the 18th of April, three days
after the schooner was abandoned. The
fire to which Captain Croker refers had
made great havoc on the vessel for Cap
tain jackson of the Prodano made a
sketch of the vessel showing her to be
burned to the waters edge abaft the fore
castle. Captain jackson said it appeared
to him as though the schooner would
soon founder. The accompanying cut is
made from Captain Jackson's sketch.
Since the Prodano passed the schooner
she has again been reported as danger
to navigation.

Q heavy westerly gale sprang up with
mountainous seas running, in which the
vessel rolled. labored and strained ire
nendously, shipping large quantities OF
water oven her. On April the gale con-
tinued from northwest, under which the
vessel labored heavily, finally causing it
to leak. April the pumps were kept
going continually, the water gaining all
the time.
"Seeing that the vessel would soon be-
come waterlogged we took in all sail and
ran her before the gale. On the morning
of the 9th the vessel became waterlogged
and unmanageable, seas breaking over
her fore and aft, causing the deckload of
railroad ties to wash overheard into the
sea.
'sAn Of the crew, eight in number,
lashed themselves on top Of the after
house for safety, and all we could do was
to wait for some passing vessel to take
us of. The men were then put on an al
lowance of two biscuits a day. April z
all hands were still dashed on the house
with no change and no chance OF being
taken off.
