Sad Fstality in Connection With the Cruise of the Sloop-Yacht R gina. There was another yachting fatalily iast Satnrday night. The sloop-yacht Regina struck a sunken rock while on her way to Vallejo, and went down. Tnree of the yachtsmen were saved, but two others went down with the sloop. The Regina was one of a combined fleet of Corin- thian and California Yacht Club boats that started Saturday afternoon for 3 cruise to Vallejoand return. She was not the fastest toat in the fleet and was left behind early in the race. Her crew con. sisted of Harry tum Suden, cousin of Otto tum Suden the attorney ; William Vaughn, a personal friend of tum Suden; Frank | Hayes, a nephew cf ex-Councilman Hayes | of Kast Oakiand; James Larue. son of ex Judge Larue, and Edward J. A, Ingalla When the Regina leit her moorings at Oakland it was clear sailing, but before Angel Island was reached a heavy mist had settled down and navigation was dil- ticult. Between 8:30 and 9 ». M., when near Red Rock, the sloop struck hard and soon the hold was full of water. Tum | Suden, Hayes and Ingalls 2ot intoa dingy thatgvas towing astern and pulled away | for Rssistence. Vaughn and Larue were left on the sloop and were never se-n again. The three men in the dingy were picked up by some Chinese fishermen and all retarned to the scene of the wreck. No trace of the yachi could be found. She | had disappeared under the waves ana | there was no trace of the two yachtsmen { who had stood by her.

There were over 300 people crowded aboard the small eratt and for three hours ! they were in a miserable plight. There | wes little or no shelter and the rain fell in torrents. The small boat was manned and went to Tiburon for assistance. In the meantime a liberal use of the foghorn | was made, but it brought no assistance. Pinally, when the party had given up all nope and some of them had made themseives as comfortable as possi- ble in_ the vessel's boid, the tug |Sea Witch hove in sight and the party to Washingion-street wharf. There was one row during the evening. An ieved husband thrashed a young man who accidentally stumbled and held on tothe man’s wife to save him- | seif.

A few minutes later the viciim learned that the man who had beaten him wore a white hat and he started to look for him | there were two men wearing white hats, | and the unfortunate se | vials of the victim’s wrath poured out on | bim.

Another Corpse Sits Near a Feast in Golden Gate Park. Workmen in the park went up into the brush yestgrday on the sideof the bill near the speed track to eat lunch and es- cape the swarm of gnats that infect that locality. They camped a few feet pfrom a dead man who was sitting on the hori- zontal 1imb of a tree about a foot from tke ground. He had been dead sbout two months. No weapons of any kind were tound near the tody. Thne deceased was dressed in a dark ~uit of clotbes, with & well-worn brown Fedora hat. All that could be discerned of his features was a long and hesvy red mus ache. The body was taken to tiie Morpue. Nothing was found on the person that would serve to identily it.

Carvalhr, the £s ate’s S laried Expert, Opines that the “Penci.” Will Is a Tracinz. If parade and a show and paraphernalia and accouterments generally are destined to bave any effect upon the minds of the jurors in the Fair-Craven litigation the executors of the multi-millioneaire’s e: bave already an important advantage over the lady who bas in her possession - decds to two valuable pieces of property claimed by the heirs. What with wagon-loads of charts bear- ing magnified photographic renroductions of the *pencil will,” the deeas, Senator Fair's business letters and his bank-check signature, with made-to-order scaffolds upon which to hang these gieantic writ- ings; with plain, or | " Heretofc inary photographs of | it was that a recoznized lsader of the Fair cverything imaginable and duplicates thereof by the dozens; with notarial | blanks, printing office timecards, entry- | books and what not; with microscopes show of the biggest three-ring circus ex- tant. True, th.re have been objections | registered here and there to the introduc- | tion of these freaks, but they were of a | | purely legal and technical nature. Itis all good enough until Judge Siack | is compelled to shift his court from one | part of the City Hall to another, as he has | | bad to do every day or two tince the trial began, and_then it is that the clerks and | batliffs and their myriad assistants have | cause to puff and perspire and even swear, for it devolves upon them to lugall of this | junk along in the wake of the procession. | The trial originaily bezan in Judge Slack’s own courtroom on the top floor, but he | was driven out of there by the workmen on the roof and moved to Judge Troutt's quarters. Bervisors’ chamter, thence to Judge Hob- bar1’s courtroom, back again to the cham- | ber. and yesterday he was driven into Judge Cook’s tempie of justice. The end of this migration 1s not yet, and the birth | of new and cumbersome exnibits is on the | increase, | But a!l this has its interesting features, even if the backs of clerks and bailiffs are being broken. It amuses the crowd, and | relieves the monotony and bumdrum that has_characierized the trial until— 1, until ycsterday. There was some- awakening vesterday, but still nothing sensationa’. It began when & row among the attorneys for the plain- tiffs developed, and after that had sub- sided the audience was Xept irom «0zing by tue several wordy collisions and the sharp repartee between Attorneys Foote for the defense and side, By the way, speaking of Mr. Knight, that silver-tongued orator made bis sec- | ond audible appearance 1n the trial at yesterday's session, and is now presumed to bein the case with “‘both feet” as the saying goe e people have wondered why EXPERT CARVALHO Scrutinizes the Celebrated “ Pencil” Will and Says It Is 2 Tracing. From there he went to the Bu- | ight_for the other | | hosts, such as Mr. Knight bas been since | the devs=lopment of premonitions of a con- test over the estate, should have o little 10 say in a case of this maznitude. There have been pronounced rumors to thec - fect that ali was not harmony in the ranks of the plaintiffs’ army of attorneys, and after yesterday’s little set-to there can scarcely be any doubt of the truth of these, Mr. Knight took his seat in the court- room on the very opening of the morning, session, and he looked like business all over. He did not have to wait long for | the business, for about the first thing that happened was the preseniation by Attor- | neys McKnernes and Pierson, who repre- nt the executors, of an application for an ailowance of additional fees. Mr. Knight, who appears in the case for the heirs as intervenors, was on his jeet in a minute with an objection. It developed from what he said tiat Messrs. McEnerney and Pierson have already re- ceiyed $70625 for services rendered the special administraiors in entering the so- called *‘trust” will for probate; more out of the fund ieft by Senator Fuir for the purpose of probuting his will, and now want another big slice for services to the executors “‘after the probate of the will.” Mr. Knight's complaint was that the thing was being overdone, and that his clients, the heirs, were the ultimate sufferers. Judge Slack declined to pass npon the mutter offband. It was something, he sa.d that would be considered when he was fixing the compensation of aitorneys later in the game. This over, the dreary work of intro- auging more nezatives and enlarged re- productions of handwriting, all for the sweliing of ihe sideshow and correspond- ing suffering of the clerks and bailffs, was resumed, There was an objection | and a debate when the plaintiffs sought 10 introduce negatives of the letier writ~ ten by Senator Fair to Mrs. Nettie Craven, in which he refers to the “pencil’”’ will and the deeds he is 8a1d to have given her. ‘l‘hle court finally ruled that it was admis- | sible. David N. Carvalho, the New York band- | writing expert, was calledto the witness- stand ot the opening of the afternoon session. George A. Knight conducted the | direct examination. Carvalho testified | that be held the position of official expert | on disputed handwriting, inks and photo- | graphs for the Grand Jury of New York | County, and beld ihe same position in Brookiyn, He had been a photographer | for thirty vears, bui oi late years had de- | voted nim-elf chiefly to the reproduction | of hand ng rather than to portrait work. Carvalho said also that he knew all about standard inks. Ink, he explained, was tanno gallate suspended in water by means of gum. “Haw did_you happen to come out here from New York?” asked Mr. Knight. “Icame here ‘o testify in the case of Angus vs. Craven,” he replied. I was sent for by the executors of tue Fair es- tate and expect to be paid by them.’* Mr. Knight now wantcd to know if the witness had examined all of the checks, letters, wills, deeds, negalives and en- larged reproductions of documents that had been introduced as evidence in the case and received an affirmative reply. ‘Attorney Foote, who was scheduled to conduct the cross-examination for the de- fense, asked permission 1o ask the witness a few questions in order to test his com- petency. Ln answer to him Carvalho ad- mitted that he never had had the pleasure of a persunal acquaintance with Senator Fairin his hfetime. Neither had he ever seen the millionaire write. He confessea that this would handicap him somewhat in testifying, inasmuch as he would have 10 surmise now, whereas he would other- wise have beeu certain. : Mr. Koight took the witness again and began showing him the checks and let- ters admitted to be in the handwriting of Senator Fuair. Carvalhosaid he had made a careful study of all of them for the purpose of making comparisons with the disputed handwriting. Carvalho proceeded to tell the jury how he made his comparisons, but Lis remarks developed intc a veritable argument for the plaintiffs and he had to be stopped by the court. After considerable difficulty with him on this account, he finally testi- fied that as the resuit of his investigation he had reached the conclusion that tue “pencil’” will was a tracing—a forger: He had found woras in the will so simil to repetitions of those words tbat he was sure that one had been copied from the other, The wiil in his salaried opinion was written slowly d laboriously, whereas Senator Fair's admittedly genu- ine writings showed that he handied a pen or pencil with rapidity. 3 Carvalho was explaining his theories in detail when court adjourned.

Fidler, a Former Companion, Turns State’s Evidence. Testimony That the Prisoner at the Bar Directed the Bogus Deed Conspiracy. Attorney Campbell Introduces the Witness’ Former Confession Which Excu'pated Von Ti-d>man-. John H. Fidler yesterday supplied the sensation that for come time has been ex- pected in the trial of Carl W, von Tiede- man, who is on trial in Judge Wallace's court on @ charge of perjury. Hitherto Fidler, who is a convict in the Foisom Staie prison, has been held up by Attorney Alexander Campbell as a friend of Von Tiedemann, and at a former trial an effort was made to secure the introduc- tion of an affidavit made by Fidler that would prove favorable to Von Tiedemann. Judge Wallace ruled out the affidayit, and it was apparent that this action by the court bad an effect on the jurors, as they failed to agree, and a new trial was or- dered. ‘When Fidler appeared on the witness- stand yesterday, being brought from Fol- som prison in rerponse to a summeons issued on behalf of the prosecation, there was eonsiderable excitement among the adherents of Von Tiedemann, for they were curious to hear what the witness would say to the detriment of the ac- cused. Fidler was formerly one of Von Tiede- mann’s associales, and_while thus acting got into difficulty. He and Von Tiede- mann were charged with a felony, and to the surprise of everyone Fidler pleaded guilty. He afterward expisined to his Von Tiedemann said that was the only way to extricate all of them and that he would get Fidler out of jail in a few months. Fidier was sentenced 10 a term of years in the State Priscn at Folsom, after which Von Tiedemann seemed to forget about him, but Fidler did not lose nope and consistently reiused to testify against Von Tiedemann, though called on by the Diatriot Atteraey to do so. In re- sponse to all questions touching his rela- tiops with Von Tiedemann he replied that he would decline to answer on the ground that his reply mighttend toconvict him of a felony. At the opening of yesterday's proceed- ings it was quickly made apparent thata change had come over Fidler's feelings, for he at once confessed that be was a confederate with Von Tiedemannin the forgery of the deed that caused the origi- nal complaint to be filed against them. In that transaction it was pretended that Mrs. Harriet Chrisiy sold some real estate for several thousand dollars, and a man appeared who said that he was Horace Pratt, and Agned two notes for $16C0 sach. As a matter of fact Mrs. Christy had no intention of selling her property, and the { notes pretended 1o be given for the prop- erty were fictitious and were procured for the purpose of helping along a scheme to dispose of a bogus title of the property to | other parties, When Mrs. Christy complained to the potice that her signature had been forged 10 a pretended deed Von Tiedemann was arrested. Ou his trial he told the jury that he had been imposed on; that a cer- tain woman appeared in his office and fuls ly personated Mrs. Christy. He said he wouid know the woman if he saw her again. A photogravh of Mrs. S8arnh Owen Spencer was shown to him and he swore that it was a picture of the woman Wwho personated Mrs, Christy. It so_happened that Mrs. Spencer had been charged with implication in some questionable transactions, but had cleare. nerself, and it was suspected that this former aileged blemish on the woman’s record bad cansed her to be seiected as a likely vietim for Von Tiedemann's de- The jury believed him and ac- auitted him of all blame in connection with the bogus deed. Information of Von Tiedemann’s aile- gation was sent to Mrs. Spencer, who was in Chicago, and she responded by declar- ing that she was not in the State of Cali- fornia at the time of the Christy transa tion and therefore said that Von Tiede- maan committed perjury when he swore that che was the woman whbo personated Mrs. Christy. Mrs. Spencer at once returned to San Francisco and presented proofs to the Grand Jury that she was teliing the truth, d rday informed the cout that this is the fiith time his client has been on trial before a jury jor felony charged to have grown out of this transac- tion and that he had not yet been con- victed. 1f the jury places any reliance on Fidler's testimony in the present trial a different result may be expected, for_be swore that from beginning to end Von Tiedemann led the conspiracy and dr- rected the proceedings, even going so far as to suggest that Fidler should sign the name Horace G. Pratt to the notes and mortgage on transler of the property. On cross-examination by counsel for the defe Fidler admitted he had refused to testify against Von Tiedemann hitherto. He explained that he had declined to appear against Von Tiedemann because he bad hoped to secure help from him 1n getting out of tiae State prison. H« was finally convinced that Von Tiedemaun was not going to assist him and Le thereiore resolved to tell the truth. The somewhat noted affidavit of Fidler, in which he recited a state of affairs that would completely exonerate Von Tiede- mann, was read. Fidler confessed that he signed the statement and saia he did so because Von Tiedemann promised to get him out of jail in two hoursif hesigned i He would have signed anything under the circumstances, and did not read the docu- ment and did not dictate a word of it, ns it was taken 10 bim in the jail where he was incarcerated. That was' July 3, 1854, {t was plain that Fidler's testimony caused great uneasiness on the part of Von Tiedemann, who bas lost much of the jaunty air that characterized his man- ner during the previous trials. He seems to have lost confidence in his lucky star, but he still remaina the best dressed man in the courtroom. The rage number of novels fssued ears ago in America and Great Brit- uin was sixteen. Now the average is two or three a day. NEW TO-DAY. You don’t complain of your tea, because, bad as it is, you don’t know that better tea is within your reach.

Avoid draughts and sudden changes of temperature. Do not discard your warm winter cloths ing too soon. It1s better to suffer a little inconvenience than to take cold. Remember that one 1s specially liable to contract a bad cold or chill at this sea- son of the year. A cough or cold contracted between the seasons is the most annoying kind, and may last through the summer. To make the home happy, keep the health secure. Poverty may come, but it can be endured if the health remams. No health was ever maintained without assistance. Health, like the body, must be supported. But do not make a mistaks and do it foolishly. 1i you feel a congh or a cold coming on, take a drink of pure whisky at once. It will keep the blood in circulation, and is the best preventive against the diseases of the season. Remember that only pure whisky should be taken. Duffy’s Pure Malt Whisky has the strongest recommendations from the leading scientigts and medical men. Itis the only standard medicinal whisky. Take no other from your druggist.
