A STRANGE STORY.
The Captain of Vessel Becomes Insane
and shoots Himself, Fearing Mutiny.

The Captain of n Vessel Becomes Insane
and shoots Himself, Fearing Mutiny.
LONDON, March 5.-A strange story
GENES from the Island of st. Helena.
The British ship Regent, Capt. Tread
well. which sailed from Calcutta No
yember so for New York, arrived at st.
Helena on February 7, and reported TO
the authorities that some time before
CAPTAIN Tread we'll had locked himself
in his cabin and had discharged several
shots from a revolver.
From the report received here ii does
not appear that an enhance was forced
into the cabin or that any particular
effort was made to discover the reason
for the shooting or what, II any, dam
age had been done. The mate took
charge of the ship and ran for st. Hele-
ma. and upon arrival there gave the re-
port above mentioned.
The port officials who boarded the
shin, broke in the door OF the captains
cabin, and found him lying insenslble.
An examination revealed the fact that
he had four wounds in his head and
body.
Medical assistance was at once sum-
moned for the wounded man, and he af-
terward regained consciousness. He
subsequently stated that the crew OF the
Regent, headed by the chief mate, had
mntinied and threatened to kill him. He
believed it was their intention TO fire
the ship and then abandon her, leaving
him on board to perish. Seeing them,
as he supposed, setting fire to the yes
sci. he went into his cabin, locked the
door and then tried to blow his brains
ont, preierring TO meet. death in this
manner than TO be burned up with the
ship.
The captains improbable story was
not believed and an examination was
made as to his sanity. The physicians
decided that ne was insane, aad that he
should be sent 10 his home in England
in the care Of a doctor. He and his
medical attendant sailed on the British
steamer Dunbar Castle, which called at
81. Helena on her way from Tablebay
for London aud arrived here to-day.
The doctor extracted the bullets in the
CAPTAINS head and body on the voyage.
The Regent has been detained at St.
Helena. the Cover not deeming 1t desir-
able to allow her TO proceed In charge
OF the mate.

THE PROPOSED CELEBRATION.
It viii be Success if Energeticauy
Taken Hold OF

There is daily manifestation OF a dis
position on the part OF the public TO
support the proposed celebration OF
the completion of the electric ilgh1
plant aud the stone bridge, and II the
Chamber of Commerce will only take
hold OF the matter, and start the ball
rolling the people will do the rest. In
timations Of a desire on the part OF sew
eral railroad companies to run eXcur-
sion trains have been received, and II is
thought several thousand out-of-town
folks would come in TO see what Is go
ing on.
AS matter OF course, nothing In the
way Of programme can be arranged at
present, as the idea is as yetwithoutfo form,
but in the rough it has been suggested
that a parade OF civic societies, OF the
LinSly cadets, OF the fire department,
police, and perhaps OF the First Regi-
ment. West Virginia National Guard,
ending with open air addresses by sew
eral gentlemen, from the front of the
Public building, would I'll in the after
noon Of the day upon which the light
plant is TO be first turned on, and
the bridge opened, while In the
evening there would be the formal
turning on Of the lights, followed by a
display Of fireworks. 1t is in contem-
plation, by the way, to have reunion
Of the gentlemen who made the big
electric light tour last summer, on the
night the light is first turned on, this
probably taking the form Of dinner at
the Mcclure.
Only about three weeks remain in
which to prepare FOR the proposed cele-
bration, and something in the way OF
definite action ought to be taken at
once
