PRIEST KNE[LS
BY DYING BATHER
Gayety of Coney Island flushed
by Tragedy of Death on
the Beach

NEW YORK, July 30.-Death suddenly
interrupted the laughter and friyolity. on
the peach at Coney Island yesterday aft
ernoon, and men and women attired in
gay colored bathing suits knelt deyouted-
~ In the sand while priest performed
the last rites of the Catholic church over
an unfortunate bather who died before
medical aid could reach him.
For two hours Frank Fondalitto. of No.
346 Houston street, was among the gayest
OF a group of young men who went down
from the city for their Saturday half holt
day.
He was but seventeen years Old and
looked the picture of health, and when
others of his companions left the water
with teeth chattering he still continued to
swim and dive.
Suddenly he was heard to shout for help,
and when two men reached him he was
unconscious and had begun to sink He
was hauled out on the sand, and the
pallor on his face told his friends that
death was approaching.
Priest Is Sent For
The Rev. Father J. F. Brophy pastor of
the Church of Our Lady of Solace was
sent for, and hurried to the beach, where
he found large crowd gathered about the
stricken man.
The priest removed his hat as he bent
crowd to stand back. Every one realized
the soiemnity of the moment. and as the
priest began to repeat the last prayer for
the dying men and women on all sides
sank On their knees in the sand and re-
manned with bowed heads until the solemn
service was ended.
Those further away who were not wear
ing bathing suits removed their hats and
stood in silence. In a moment the scene
changed from hustle and laughter to one
of silence and devotion. The hush of
death fell like a shadow upon the beach,
and within fifteen minutes from the time
the young mans body was taken out of
the water not bather was to be seen
about the pavilion.
Physicians who saw the body later said
the young man had died of apoplexy. Re-
manning so long in the water had hasten
ed his death. His body was removed
to his home in Manhattan.

PARIS. July 38.-The rupture be-

statement that the pope does not in

1t is not expected that the rupture
Will have any immediate consequences
beyond the mutual withdrawal of the
representatives of France and the Vat

developments are improbable until the

up. Well Informed persons do not be-

Foreign Minister Delcasse late this
afternoon addressed note to the pa

The rupture of relations does not
cause surprise. 1t had been generally
foreseen that Premier Combes was de-

opposition which doubtless he met
from certain members of the cabinet.
