Injured.
The Accident Due to the Lack of
Room Left by the Britannia for the

The Author of "kathleen MayOur=
neen" Passes AWAY.

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-The Royal Albert
Yacht Club regatta was continued at
Southsea to-day over the forty-six mile
course sailed yesterday. There was a
WHOLESALE breeze from the southwest,
bet the rain fell heavily. The starters in
the big race were the Ailsa, Britannia,
Satanita and Meteor. The boats were
started at | o'clock.
The yacht race for small raterS start
ed al II o'clock over the same course as
that sailed by the big yachts, but only
once around, twenty three miles. The
starters We're the Saint, Niagara, Sam
phire, Audrey, Penitent and Isolde.
While both races were in progress the
Meteor came into collision with the
twenty-rater Isolde dismantling her
and throwing her crew into the sea.
All of the boats stopped Immediately
and began the rescue of the Isolde's
crew, which was accomplished. The
races were then abandoned. The ac-
cident happened just at the beginning
of the second round of the big race.
Baron Zedwitz, the owner of the
ISOLDE, who was on board his yacht,
was struck in the head and face by
some of the fragments of the masts
and other parts of the boats which the
collision sent flying in every direction,
and was fatally injured. Baron Won
ZedwitZ was unconscious when he was
taken out of the water and in this condi-
ton he was hurriedly conveyed on board
a steam yacht TO the clubhouse of the
Royal Victoria Yacht Club at Ryde,
where he received every possible med
zeal attention. It is understood that he
did not regain consciousness and that
he died very soon after reaching the
clubhouse. All of the yachts and club
houses at Spithead are flying flags at
half-mast in consequence of the Baron S
death The crew of the Isolde expert
enced some very narrow escapes. The
accident cast a gloom over everything
The Isolde was examined after being
lowed to Portsmouth and it is found
that besides being dismantled and hav-
ing all of her gear swept away, that she
had large hole stove in her bow.
The Meteor sustained no injury what
ever by the collision. The Isolde was a
twenty-rater yacht, constructed by the
Herreshoffs at Bristol, r. l., in 1898, for
Prince Leopold of Germany, who sold the
boat to Baron Won Zedwitz.
Captain MONIES, the skipper of the Me-
teor. ascribes the collision of the Me-
teor with the Isolde to the fact that
the Britannia did not make way for
the Meteor to pass the Isolde.
AS a yachtsman Baron Won ZedwitZ
was great sportsman, and he was well
liked in all of the English sporting
centers. His wife, the Baroness Won
Zedwitz, was daughter of the late
Charles Roosevelt of New York To-

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1S.-Miss

Before the ecclesiastical council

she had been guilty of forgery and
prevarication. Through pique at her

she had forged letters to Mrs. Tunnel,

purpose of considering her confession,
Miss Overman's statement was read.
In it she solemnly declares that DR..
Brown accomplished her ruin, and had
been guilty of illicit relations with her
on numerous occasions, which she speci-
fed. Her previous story, she states,
had been carefully rehearsed in the
Brown residence before the pastors
family for weeks prior to the meeting
of the conference.
DR.. Brown promised to protect her,
provided she stood by him and perjured
herself to save his reputation. This he
neglected to do and the unfortunate wo-
man found that she was unable to gain
an honest livelihood, while DR.. Brown
posed as a martyr. She therefore de-

Divine services, conducted by Father Corco-
ran, was held in the prison chapel last Sunday
morning. The lesson for the day, the seventh
Sunday after Trinity, was taken from the
epistle of St. Paul to the Romans. After invOca-
ton and reading of the gospel, Father Corcoran
delivered an impressive sermon on the inexora-
BILE certainty of death. In his actions man seems
to labor under an illusion of earthly immortality
that mOcks the fear of death. The experience
of mankind teaches him that dissolution is the
inevitable end of earthly things, and this life
but preparation for an entrance into the high
er existence of eternity. All around him is evil
dence of death. Its icy hand touches his friends,
ntimates and the members of his own family,
yet, with the positive knowledge that time must
bring his own hour to depart from this world,
he continues the reckless course of disregarding
the plainest dictates of conscience, reason and
common humanity in the selfish desire to center
all obtainable fruits of human endeavor in the
qualification of his own pleasures. The Almighty
has placed us in our sphere of action and en-
dowed lis with reasoning powers to determine
the reverence we owe Him, and our duty to-
wards our fellow men. By the exercise of our
mental and physical powers we enlarge our
capacity for promoting the moral welfare of our
selves and those which the associations that
of our lives. From the decree of nature, COM
manding us to appear before the Dread Pres
ence, there is no appeal. The cold thought of
the sepulcher has only virtue to warm it and
purity to ease its fears. The gift of immortality
is the hope of the righteous and the dream of
the erring. We should reflect on the memen-
