YACHT ON A ROCK "Holy Ghost" 'Sanford and Followers Aboard, Stranded on Island, Vessel is Fitted Up With an Altar - Fifty People Aboard. ..1.•••,•*•111.wi. Yarmouth, N. S., Aug. 28. -The cruise of "Holy Ghost" Baden' and his follow- ers in the yacht Kingdom, which has ex- cited amusement and derision along the coast of New England and the Alaritinfe Provinces, has come to a temporary .and perhaps a permanent stop by the strand- ing of the ,yachteon Mud Island, ZO milee froth )6armouth. Sanford is a re: lig-isms impostor, who blasphemously announces himselt to be the Holy Ghost, and he has found a number of credulous persone who have such bath in his claims that they have renounced their friends, -given Sanford their prop- erty, and gone -cruising with him. in the Kingdom Sanford and his sect made a voyage to the Holy Land, and one of the incidents of the return trip was the abduction of an Abyssinian mile. who secured. her release at Boston. 0 Divine. a thick fog on Thursday evening °the Kingdom went ashore on Mud Island, and may be a total loss. There is a large hole near the bow and the vessel is somewhat chafed. When the news was received 41ere, one of Cann & Sons' tugs went to Mud Is. lend, but no agreement was reached as to assisting the vessel off. Later Capt. A .K. Perry, commander of the Kingdom, mune to 'Yarmouth in a launch and open-. ed negotiations with the Messrs. Cann to again send a tug ate the vessel. The tugboat owners mama. a place to Capt. Perry and. Sanford, and it now rests with them to accept or allow the vessel to be- come a total loss. Before the tugcottia be of any service, the Kingdom would have to discharge lter stone bellast. The tug is ready whenever a bargain to go to the. wreck has been made, and not lSe- fore. The ceptain's story is RS follows: "We had been • cruising along the coast, and during Thursday we encoun- tered much fog. At the time of the ac- cident we thought we were six miles south of Seal Island, but we were really twenty miles to the north. Water is running in and out of the vessel, amnia may be that she cannot be saved." There were fifty people on board at the time of the accident, twenty of whom are the crew, and thirty passen- gers -men, women and children. thp latter, with a majority of the crew, are located at Mud Island in tents or what- ever other shelter they can obtain. There is no insurance on the vessel. - • VOICE FROM AIR • • • • Wireless Sent From *Aeroplane by McCurdy, Canadian Aviator. •••=11.01010.01M1 "Another Chapter in Aerial Achieve- ment Recorded" Read Message.

CrIppen had no communication with Miss Leneve, who went on deck in the evening with her wardresses. Mise Leneve was cheerful aud talked freely to the wardresses. Upon their arrival at Dow street, the prisorters were formally charged with wilful mutder. Neither of them made any replyto the charge. Miss Leneve buret into tears and dried. bitterly. She was allowed to have an interview with her married -sis- ter. Miss- Leneve, who remained in her berth during the greater part of the voyage, exhibited a really cheerful demeanor and chatted with the ward - tosses on -duty. en:nen_ London, Aug. 29. -Both Hawley 11. Crippen, the American doctor, and Ethel Clare Leneve, his typist, were accused ot the Murder of Belle Elmore, the former's Wife, in the formal charge read to them in the Bow Street Police °mut to -day. • Miss Lenore was charged also wan harboring and maintaining enliveu af- ter the crime and wane knowing that he ementitted it, During tha.proceetlings. Inspector Dew, who brought the prisoners back from Canada, introduced evidence to .show that Crippen contemplated suicide white at sea. following his flight from this ceuntry. Crippen was quoted also as declaring that his corupanionknew notle hes of the trouble in which he is invoiv- oil: and Miss Leneve was said to haee protes•ted her innocence. There was special intgrest in the char- acter aef the formal charge, as the war- rant for the arreet of the fugitives had merely laid at Clefs door responsiblliey for the adeath of an unknown woman, whose body was found in the cellar of the Crippen home at Hill Drop Crescent. the fact that both were to -day accused of the murder of Belle Ehnore the ea, tress, wife of the doctor, leads to the supposition that themutilated body has been identified to the satisfaction of the authorities. It also suggests that the police have more evidence concerning Miss Leneve's connection with the trag- ery than they have made known hereto - fete. To -day's proceedings consistea of the intioduction against •the accus-ed at tin conclusion of whieh they were remanded until Sept. 13, without having pleaded -Ms made any -comment in reply to the ebarge againet them..

C., despatch: The Gen- eral Conference of the Methodist Church, now in session, bas been re. markable for the unanimity with which it has acted. There have been very few close votes on any subject, but the majorities have been large, and, in most Levies practical agreem,ent has been reached. The report of the Education Committee, which was expected to be the sterm centre of the Canference, was no ex- ception to the rule. The recommen- dations made concerning the trial of professors in colleges were accepted by an overwhelming majority and with very slight amendnients. This happy result was brought about by faithful work in committee and. pri- vate consultations, in harmony with the prevailing desire to avoid any acrinionious differences. The specific directions as to the method of procedure were expressed in legal phraseology and occupied considerable space. Expressed in simple language, provision is made for any five members of tho Metho- dist Church to bring specific com- plaent against auy college professor in regard to any teaching contrary to the doctrines of the Church. This charge shall be made to the governing board of the college concerned, which shall immediately consider it, and if regarded as serious shall forward it to the Board of Education. for Action. The Board of Education shall, upon receiving a complaint from any col- lege board, or from any five members of the Methodist Church who have laid a complaint to the college board and no action being taken within two months, select five ministers of good repute for their knowledge of doc- trine,. who alien constitute a com- mittee of trial, the presiding officer to be one of the General Superintend- ' ants. The principles. and procedure relatng to trials, as set forth in tbe Discipline, shall be followed, If the • person against whom the domplaint is made is a minister be may appeal from the decision given to his Annual Conference. These recommendations were adopt- ed almost unanimously. In regard to the requests of -several memorials re- lating to teaching in theological col- leges, it was decided thee no action bo taken, as the control of such teaching is sufficiently secured by what has been adopted. Rev. Dr. Cleaver presented as an amendment a resolution very similar to the one he introduced in the To- ronto Conference last June. Ho did not mention Rev. George Jackson by name, but it was evident to whom he referred. He asked the Conference to express its disapproval of certain teachings known to be those of Mr. jaekeon's book. It was objected that Dr. Cleaver's reeolation coal not be rewarded as an amendment to the recommendations of the committee, but hid the Chtirman so ruled, after the roport had been adopted Dr. Cleaver would 'here had the oppor- tunity of presenting his resolution. •-As it was now 10 o'elock on Satur- dey night, and the clen•ch has] to be prepared for the Sunday services, it was agteed that Dr. Cleaver be heard on Monday morning, immediately aner the upening of Confeeenee. The result of the vote on Chula union was generhily expected and is most favorably cantmented on. Several delegates who voted with the minority have taken occasion to declare that they were not opposed to union, but either did not approve of the baseie or deeired it to go to the boards and membership without any expreesion of opinion by the ateneral Con ference. Direct opposi- tion to the union is very smell. It was resolved to allow the Genmal Conference Special Committee to fix the time when Quavterly Boards and membership shall vote on the question, The Conference declared itself in fevor of approaching the Evangelical Aseoelatiou with a view to OrgaVia union. Revs. Dr. Rose, Toronto, and M. F. eohniton, Montreal, were appointed fra- ternal delegates to the Methedist Epis- eopal Church South. The Conference give the most earnest attention to the subject of evangelism, winch eeveral speakers referred to as the east important matter that had been considered. Itev. C. E.
