C.?News of a tragic ? mutiny, costing the lives of four white men and a negro aboard the four- * masted schooner Harry A. Berwind. t0 was brought here* by the schooner Blanche H. King, which made port df - to with three colored sanors in irons, ui?? CO only survivors of the crew of the Ber- jn wind. Capt. Rummilll. the mate, the uL cook and the engineer were killed and it pi Is thought their bodies were thrown over- be board. The body of a murdered negro T( sailor was found on the Berwiud's th deck, which was splashed with blood ap when the craft was boarded from the lo King. to The mutiny grew out of the coffee fr ' " ' -?- rx-u .-!!??? -rv ii served ior oreaKiasi. me .-sauuto ic fused to touch the coffee, and it is said ' that an altercation arose between them pi' and the cook. Several of the men were st asleep, and there are indications that sh the mate was slaughtered in his bunk, mi .which was stained with blood. Drops pr of blood were fouud leading from the ce mate's berth up to the deck, and to the side of the ship. The case is mys- g terious, as the survivors are terrible in their hate toward each other. The mutineers were handcuffed as soon as the boarding party had reached the deck of the Berwind. The negroes were sullen and silent, but all the gj signs in the ship went to show that iic they had wrought an awful vengeance together. It was soon developed, how- p( ever, that tl^ey were fixed in implacable hatred. One of the men com- ^ vlnlnA/1 +V?of fha hnnd^nffu WArf* Put- ?r, piaiUCU Uiai luv V " YY< ting his wrists. The bracelet was se loosened for a moment, and quick as n <je flash the man whipped out a revolver er and shot one of the other prisoners. t0 The bullet inflicted an ugly, wound, ^ but one that will not be mortal. th Captain Taylor, of the King, says that he sighted the Berwind thirty W; miles east of the Frying Pan Light- re ship. The Berwind was not holding a se steady course, and at one time there , was danger of the schooner ramming j^j the King. Taylor was astounded at R0 the# sight of the vessel traveling er- q( ratlcally, and he became suspicious \ that the crew might be crippled with |n jellow fever. He flew a signal, and fa the King replied with a request for fa boarders. At once a boat was low- a ered. and half a dozen men climbed up the side of the Berwind to be astounded at the bloody sight of the deck. It was clear that a desperate conflict had been waged from stem to A1 etern of the ship. The body of the ne gro was backed with knives, and tliere were several deep stabs in the abdo- pj, pien. Apparently the man had fought sj, until he fell from loss of blood, and then had been slain by a stab to the A] heart. It is thought the captain, the cook and the engineer all died fighting el( desperately. The rigging was cut in several places by bullets and there pn were signs that the cook had been at- cr tacked in the galley. The prisoners ac have absolutely refused to say what Aj was done with the bodies of the white m men, and the only possible conclusion Is that they were thrown into the sea. , All the negroes are slightly wounded. a They became greatly excited when ^ they had been put in irons, supposedly _a from the relaxation of the last few days. Their guarded statements indi<*ate that from the end of the fight on . ( Tuesday until the boarding party came on deck the four men had watched st( each other unceasingly, fearing treachery. The fifth negro is supposed to have been killed only a short time before the signal was flown to the King. t A prize crew was left aboard the V. Berwind by Captain Taylor, and two tugs have left here to tow in the schooner. There is a fear that the Berwind may be lost, as a heavy gale i9 kblowing, and the short-handed crew r" may be unable to bring her through in safety. United States Commissioner ; S. P. Collier and Deputy Marshal C. O. Knox have taken charge of the cap- ' tives, who still are aboard the King, in tquarantine. w at KILLS "PEEPING TOM." ki d( sc Man "Who Looked in Window is Fa- [n tally Shot by Young Husband. w 1L Fresno, Cal. ?

He started a campaign for reform in football. Around Ms table at luncheon were gathered the men who rule the game, Dr. D. H. Nichols and W. T. Reid, of Harvard; Arthur T. Hillcbrand and John B. Fine, of Princeton, and Walter Camp and John Owsley, of Yale. They are athletic advisers of their universities, and John B. Fine and Walter Camp are members of the Rules Committee of the Intercollegiate Football Association/ The President has some personal Interest in the game aside from his general interest in athletics, for his son has entered the freshman squad at Harvard and has already had cause to know how rough the sport may be, having received a black eye and other bruises in scrimmaces. Mr. Roosevelt, in beginning his talk to his guests, told them that he liked the game, but he felt that something should be done to reform the rules, especially in the interest of fair play and the discouragement of rough play, and asked them to undertake to start a movement to that end. Public sentiment is yearly growing stronger against the brutality o? the game, he declared, and the death of a man in order to win a game will result sooner or later in universal condemnation of It as a part of college athletics. The President's sentiments and counsel were responded to with hearty approval, his guests thanking him for his initiative in the matter and promising their support to his ideas.

This is not the first time that Mr. Roosevelt has taken a hand in intercollegiate athletics. When he was Police Commissioner of New York, in 1896, he patched up a truce between Yale and harvard, and brought about an agreement that has held good ever since. Not a little significance is given to the incident at the Whijte House because of the persistent rumors that after leaving the White House Mr. Roosevelt will become President of Harvard. PASTOR BOOZE ON A RAMPAGE. Burns Church and Parsonage and Defies Town With an Ax. Richmond, Va.?The Rev. Ccrteman Booze, pastor of the Baptist Church at Buchanan, went on a rampage, broke up all the furniture in his home, .set fire to the house, started a conflagration in the basement of his church, took his seat in the pulpit and awaited results. The church, the parsonage and another dwelling were destroyed. The church was centrally located, and there being a stiff wind heroic efforts were necessary to save the town. Booze is now in jail. He will be examined by a commission of lunacy. During the fire Pastor Booze armed himself with an' ax and proceeded down the street, knocking in several doors. He put up a hard fight before he was overpowered. A revival meeting had been going on at the church, which had greatly excited the minister. WOULD BURN 5000 CHUKUMtiS. Hamilton College's President Says Bane of Religion is Division. Binghamton, N. Y.?"It would be better if five thousand churches were burned," was the statement of W. M. Stryker, president of Hamilton College, during his sermon at the First Congregational Church here. Dr. Stryker had for Ills text, "The Modern Interpretation of Providence." He was telling that the tendency of this age has been division and war. "This tendency Is apparent even in the body of Christ?the Church," said he. "In too many places churches have been erected beyond the need of communities now and for a long time to come. Many are living at a poor, dying rate, and it would be better if five thousand of them were burned and if the people would get together in one large church. By so doing the cause of Christ and humanity would be far better conserved." Greene Didn't Foment Revolution. Affidavits which have been in the possession of the State Department, Washington, D.

Then he >r, covered it well with earth, disappeared for a moment, and came trotting back s& with a small bone, which had seen its ft best and second-best days, but was still good enough, in Dash's opinion, for a thief. This bone he had laid on , m the earth which hid the big one, and scraped the earth over it with elabry orate care. of His master had the satisfaction of m knowing that the ruse was successful. !S* for the next morning he saw the thief *y hastily leaving the premises with a _ ? small bone in his mouth. Later in the t_ day Dash reaped the reward of bis .o wisdom as he sat munching the big 2lc bone at his leisure.?Scottish Ameri- j or can.
