ed From Quincy Today.
FULL OF EXPERIENCES
Quincy Ball Team Defeated Barre BY
Score of S to l-Shore Dinner in
the Afternoon Long to
Be Remembered.


Tired but cheerful, the granite manu-
tacturefs party TO Quincy, Mass, re-
turned home this morning at six o'clock,
unanimous in praise OF the hospitality
Of their Quincy hosts, who did all in
their power to make the three days ex-
eursion one OF enjoyment and profit to
the Nermonters. One hour after reach
ing Barre the most Of tile party buel1Ied
down 70 work, as the wheels OF the gram
ite industry whirred again at seven, al
ter the shutdown since Thursday after
noon. They could not be blamed if the
pen and pencil went astrav on the pap
er. today, and the contract figuring
dwindled off into mental visions Of
Crescent Park, Rhode Island shore din
ners, with views on the side Of "looping
the loop" Gaping the gap and shoot
ing the ehutes" for the memory of the
pleasant trip will linger long.
From eight minutes past five Friday
morning when the party was hustled
out OF the special train at Boston and
turned, hungry, into the streets Of Bos-
ton, to wait for the opening Of the
restaurants to the last wheeze Of the
Central Vermont locomotives at the
Barre station this morning, the trip was
a succession Of experiences. One ex-
perience on the trip down was the leav-
ing Of bunch of the party at Con-
cord. The bunch got uneasy for a smoke
and while they were buying cigars the
train left. A later train got them into
Boston in good time.
The party watched with interest the
work at the Fore River Shipbuilding

New Jersey and Vermont, and the
guides Of the Nermonters were kept
under running fire Of questions all
the time The joint meeting of the
Quincy and Barre, branches Of the man
ufactnrers Friday night was an exclusive
affair, and those Of the party who were
not fortunate enough TO be manufacture
ers remained on the outside while mat
ters important to the business were TAX
en- up. Nor did they figure in the Jap
anese supper at the close Of the meet
ing. This supper was something to be
talked shout.

with the sports at Crescent Park SAT-
urday, but didn't dAmpen The spirits
of the party. The BAH game between

short at the end Of four and q half
innings because Of rain. The Quincy
men were ahead at that time, ) to /.
The Barre battery were Barclay and
Garrity. Besides the base ball there
were various other sports, while the
amusements afforded BY the park man
agement were literally patronized. AS
a wind-up to the day the shore dinner
was the real thing in the epiclrean in
dulgence. Ask any member Of the party
If it wasn't
Boston and the beaches came in for
their attention yesterday, and iii spite
Of the damp weather the day was one
of enjoyment. The majority Of the par

Five Killed in Mutiny.

In the mutiny Of four negro members
of the four-masted schooner Harry A.
Berwind, bound from Mobile to Phila-
delphia, Capt. Rumill, his mate, cook,
and engineer were killed and their bodies
thrown overheard. Three of the negroes
are under arrest at Southport, n. g.,
and the other mutineer is dead.
According to the stories told by the
negroes, the mutiDy arose as the result
of quarrel aboard the Ber@ind early
Tuesday morning about some coffee that
was being brewed for breakfast.
The schooner Blanche II. King, Capt.
J. w. Taylor, bound from Brunswick,
Ga, to,Philadelphia, put in at Southport
yesterday afternoon, bringing in irons
the three negroes.
The Harry A. Berwind left Mobile
September 23. She was sighted early
Yesterday morning thirty miles off the
Cape Fear bar bar by Capt. Taylor,
whose attention was attracted by the
reckless manner in which the ill-fated
vessel was being steered, her course
threatening to run down his own vessel
Upon signal from the Berwind Capt
Taylor and crew boarded the vessel ano
placed the three negroes in irons, bring
ing the two vessels off the bar.
When the Berwind was boarded tht
decks of the schooner were crimson will
blood, showing evidence Of fierce en-
counter. The mates berth was spotted
with blood, indicating that he was butch
cred in bed. One of the prisoners say
the mate begged piteously for his life
but in vain.
After the boarding party from the King
hsndcufed the mutineers on the ship
one OF the negroes complained the iron
were too tight aud hurt him. Wher
one OF the boarding party loosened tn
bracelets on the negro's arm, the captiv
whipped out a pistol and shot one of hi
own crew, the presumption being tha
the man killed had signaled the KIM
