wHEELING WEST MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 8, 1882. \

In the ship carpenters hands In q Brook
lyn yard. The crew, As matter ot course
were discharged and were at liberty tC
ship elsewhere. It Is regular practice
when shipping crews TO pay q certain
amount In advance to each man before be
y taken on board. Thus, in the case oil
the ChigneCto, the men were paid S25 each
in advance. They returned 10 New York
on the 18th and on the 28d sailed In the
dIrahams Policy, receiving another $25 in
advance. The wages were 10 be SIS per
month, so 1t can readily be seen that Il a
man could mutiny and reship and reahip
and mutiny often enough he could make
much better wages than by continuing on
a voyage.
While there appears, without systematic
investigation, to be no evidence that the
crew. OF the Policy actually fred the vessel,
yet 1t was generally believed yesterday
among shipping people that such was the
case. II was said that the colored men,
who are al residents Of this city and con.
seequently know one another well, conspired
alter the success Of the mutiny on the
Chignecto to ship together and carry out
the scheme again. When the Policy had
returned and 1t was found that she was
entirely seaworthy they were bound by
the shipping laws for the voyage, That
would interfere with any similar project
ot mntinons nature and il Is surmised
that some one set fire to the vessel.
Mr.. Williams, Of Beckwith, Williams l.
Co., the agents who gathered the crew, ex-
pressed himself TO the reporter very freely
in regard to the matter. He said he did
not know about their conduct on the CHG.
necto when the firm got them for the Ora.
hams Policy; they were shipped by an.
other firm for that vessel. Mr.. Williams
added: :'lf the captain had not turned
back probably they would have cut his
throat, thrown.him overheard and run the
ship themselves. They were lust the kind
of men to do 1t, Why, some OF the men
darkies-that are shipped would do any
thing. 1t Is not usual for sailors TO 90
armed, unless they mean mischief. Areal
sailor man never carries anything but his
knife, but these fellows were tough lot, it
seems"
'Do you think they fired the Polley?"
asked the reporter.
Nobody knows that yet, Of course, but
they were the men to do it." was the
answer.

For drinking, bathing purposes and

exclusive privilege of supplying the
city with water. There is no OBJ
lection, we believe, to this company

ing such water as i does, and for
such purposes as it's only designed
But it has no right to interfere with
another company which proposes to
supply good and pure drinking
water for the use of the people of
New Orleans, service which the
Waterworks Company cannot or do
not perform. There can be no more
