The British Ships Ditton and

AND THEIR SHIPPERS ARE MAD
Arrival of the Bark Emma F. Henri.
man From the North With a
Big Cod Catch.

AS yet no one has appeared to claim the
derelict which G. Dominica, crab fisher,
says he saw last Friday evening about 5
O'Clock. According to his statement he
and a comrade were returning from the
fishing grounds when ne sighted vessel
floating on her beamends about half
mile west of Point Bonita. Thirty or forty
feet of her bilge was above the water and
they could see that her hull was newly
painted white and that her bottom had a
fresh eoati ing of copper paint. She was
evidently yacht, or at least a craft built
on graceful lines.
Dominica also states that the vessel had
some of her sail set, as he could see the
main gait sticking above the water, and
to the spar was attached the canvas. 1t
swung solemnly to the motion of the
waves.
The fishermen did not dare approach
nearer than hundred feet of the drifting
wreck, as the water was quite rough, and
their little boat was loaded down almost
to the gunwals.
Dominica did not report his discovery to
the Merchants Exchange, but talked of it
to his countrymen and fellow fishermen
upon coming ashore. He was informed
yesterday evening that several tugs had
passed over the Locality where he had seen
the wreck, and although they had kept a
sharp lookout nothing was seen. Not
withstanding their failure to find her he
still insistSthat he is not mistaken and
believes that the capsized craft drifted
away out to sea or has gone ashore.
Saturday the ships Ditton and Cedar
bank pulled out for a long run for 'Mer-
RE England" 1t will be "merrie rum"
TOO, for the two shippers intend to drive
their respective vessels over the two
oceans. Captain Stepp of the Ditton and
Moody of the Cedarba nix had bit of talk
few days ago, and when two such old
sea-dogs get together on the eve of the
sailing of their ships there are more or
less hard things said Stepp, who has
been commander for thirty years. heard
Moody say that the Ditton was slow. He
retaliated by impartlng the choice infor-
nation that the Cedarbank was an old
wagon.
Then they waxed warm, and each swore
that he would land his cargo of wheat
first or start every bolt in his hull. The
two captains shook their horny fists at
each other and went aboard to get up
anchor. So there will be straining OF
sheets ana braces till the home harbor is
reached.
The bark Emma F. Herman, Captain
McPhie, arrived from Berine Sea yester-
day with cargo of 10000 Goldfish.

Rev. William RAIDER breaches Upon
the Current Religious Contro-
Versv.

In his remarks from the pulpit last night
Rev. William RAIDER of the Third Congre-
gational Church addressed himself to the
current religious controversy.
~ speak upon this theme" said he,
with the freedom to express an entirely
independent opinion upon the merits and
methods of controversy which has waged
SO fiercely for so many months" The
speaker then proceeded to define the terms
Catholicism, Romanism and Protestant
ism, and continued by saying: 1.-The is
sue between Romanism and Professionalism
may be summed up as follows: The pub
lie school problem, the authority of the
Papacy and Romanism as a politico-
religious, National nightmare. The
public schools and the Pope is a
real issue. How does it stand? The
Bible has been practically removed from
the schools, but the system remains and
the flag is still over it. The Little Red
Schoolhouse is the rock upon which the
hierarchy has split. Archbishop Ireland,
Father McGlynn and Satolli, the Pope's
echo, are on the American side.'
The speaker declared that American in
situations were founded upon Protestant
foundation and referred to Washington
as the Martin Luther of the state. Any

PapacY he held TO be at war with democ-
racy, and described the battle now being
wsged as one between the principles OF
loyaiism and democracy, the reign of the
Pope and the rule of the people.
He continued: 81 have no fear of the
result. When Archb bishop Riordan and
Father Yorke try TO prove the progressive
spirit OF the Catholic church, they simply
follow Archbishop Ireland and other
liberals in the direction of Americanism.
The Pope has learned that some priests on
this side of the Atlantic are willing to re-
ceive religion but not politics from Rome.
1t is good sign"
Speaking of other aspects of the con-
troversy, he said the people were heartily
tired of the subject, and incidentally he
severely condemned the excessive use of
personalities, which had hitherto entered
so largely into the discussion. He pleaded
for broader Interpretation of the truth,
and pointed out that priest and preacher
have much in common theologicalIy, &C
cepting as they do the same creed, the
same Father, Son and Spirit.

at Garibaldi Hall, on Broadway, at 10
o'clock in the morning, when some 1900
men formed in procession and marched
down Montgomery avenue to Montgomery
street, California, Kearny, Broadway,
Stockton, Green, Dupont and Union as
far as Powell, where twelve extra cars had
been provided to convey the crowd to Har-
Dor View Park.
The outing was the first picnic of the
newly organized Helvetia Society, and was
a perfect sucee SIS in every respect. Further
than the procession there was no set pro-

DR.. Martens Victim Compelled to Aban-
don Her Child TO Strangers.
The youngest patient in the City and
County Hospital is an abandoned child of
5 months--a sickly, withered little thing
that nobody wanted-the son of Alma
Josslyn, who recently figured in public in
connection with notorious cases.
This poor little sufferer has been named
Lawrence Josslyn, and was thus given the
mothers name. The father is DR.. Mar
ten, the man who claimed to have a
strange power over Alma, whom he
threatened to kill. he is now serving
sentence of six months in the branch
County jail for his threatening language
toward the woman.
The history of Miss Josslyn's connec-
ton with DR.. Marten came out in her con-
fession made last June when she believed
she was about to die. In April she gave
birth to the child and fell into sickness
which grew worse by stages until in June
her physician and friends believed she
was dying. During the Illness she told the
story of her alleged cruel treatment
and indignities at the hand of DR.. Marten,
and friends induced her to make public
confession. According to her own words DR..
Marten held complete sway over her will,
which influence she could not explain even
to her own satisfaction. But when away
from him she regained her mental power.
Then she related how the doctor used to
make her live in back rooms, behind
bolted doors, in fact, 70 keep her a prisoner
on cold diet, as we1 as heaping indig--
mites upon her.
The doctor heard of her threatened con-
fession, and swore he would kill her. For
this he was arrested and sentenced early
in July.
Alma Josslyn was then living in rooms
on Mission street, near Tenth, and until
few weeks ago has been confined to her
bed there. A week since her mother
