THE BERwIND MuTINY.
Fate of Mutineers to be Decided by
Supreme Court Soon.

Supreme Court Soon.
The schooner Harry A. Berwind and the
Blanche FL. King met in Baltimore last
week. The meeting of these vessels re-
called the tragedy which took place on the
Berwind last October, when Capt. Edwin
B. Rumill, of Pretty Marsh, and four of
his crew were murdered. The King is the
vessel which sighted the Berwind and
took off the mutineers.
The King came in for salvage to the
amount of more than 81 600. On board
the schooner when she went to the Ber-
winds assistance was Mrs. Taylor, wife of
Captain Taylor, and she put in a claim for
her portion of the salvage, the same as a
member of the crew. The case went into
the courts, and it was held that she was
entitled to her pro rata of the amount
received.
The three negro mutineers are still in
jail at Wilmington, n. G. One of them
Harry Scott-has no hope of escaping the
gallows, but the case of the other two
Arthur Adams and Robert Sawyer--is on
appeal in the United States supreme court,
and set for hearing this week.
The federal court meets in Wilmington
April 30, and the supreme court will
probably hand down its decision before
that time so that if new trial is granted
the cases can be disposed Of.

TO RESTRICT AUTOS.


The following petition, signed by eigh-
ty-seyen was presented:
The unde.sig ned. citizens of Ellsworth. r.
specially petition and represent
That the use of automobiles on the streets and
ways In our city is serious Injury to our peo-
pie depriyio them of the reasonable and nee
essary use and privileges OF said streets and
ways, thereby diminishing their business, d.
stroying their righlful pleasures In riding and
actually endangering their property and lives
when using said streets and ways with teams
from necessity.
That the meeting of automobiles or motor
vehicles and horses on many, IL not all, said
streets and ways Is attended with unusual
danger by reason of exceptional natural condi-
tions.
Wherefore, they ask you, as the municipal
officers of the city of Ellsworth, to act 10 the
premises, as by statute Is made and provided,
and to designate the places on the streets and
ways In Ellsworth where, In your Judgment, by
reason of CLIFF. emban1 meuts or other excep-
tiohal natural conditions. the meeting OF
automobiles or motor vehicles and horses would
be attended with unusual danger, and that you
mark such places as by statute is provided, and
cause the law to be enforced against those VINO
shall violate the statute under which you are
authorized to act.
The matter was referred to the commit
tee on streets without discussion.
OTHER BUSINESS.
W. E. Whiting, as attorney for Frank
Sargent, addressed the board in regard to
claim of Mr.. Sargent for damage through
construction of the new Mariaville road.
This claim, with others of a similar nature,
was referred to special committee some
time ago. Aid. Staples was appointed a
member of the committee in place Of ex-
Aid. Patten, who was on the original
committee. This committee will investi-
gate the claims as soon as the road is in
condition in the spring.
The committee on street lights was in
strueted to go ahead with the installation
OF new lights according to plans agreed
upon some time ago.
b. f. Gray, who has sprinkled the
streets of Ellsworth for the past thirty-six
years, beginning with a small tub which
clerks at the stores used to turn out and
MI with buckets, appeared before the
board to ask for an appropriation for the
spFlnkling for the coming year.
Mr.. Gray produced figures showing
that all he received in subscription last
year was Sio2, which with $3.50 given by
the city made his total receipts 1852. His
actual expenditures in the work had been
800, leaving him only 1927 for himself,
ana counting nothing for the use of his
palr OF horses. He asked for a larger APP
preparation from the city this year, or
salo he would make proposition to let
the horses and sprinkler to the city for
s2,25a day.
Inc board took the matter under con-
sideration.

FUNERAL OF VICTOR HIGGINS.


The body of Victor Higgins, of Bar Har-
Dor, whose death occurred at Los Angeles,

is believed, of very severe beating which
he received at a club in Los Angeles where

corted to the church by the members of

which Mr.. Higgins was member. The
services were conducted by the rector,
Rev. Stephen II. Green, and the vested
choir sang several hymns. The remains
were committed to the receiving vault of
st. Sayiour's church and will be inferred
at Ledgelawn cemetery.
Mr.. Higgins was about thirty-three
years of age, and was a highly-respected
young man of excellent habits. He went
to California on account of his health.
He was the son of the late Albert Higgins
and leaves a mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Hig-
gins, two sisters, Mrs. Calvin Higgins,

Property Wilfully Destroyed.

Early Thursday morning of last week
the boiler house of the Widnoon Coal
Company's plant at Lawsonham was
destroyed by fire and number of the
buckets, by which coal is transported
from mine across the creek to railroad
on a cable, were knocked off the cable,
entailing loss OF about 81 800 to the
company. Circumstantial evidence was
strong that the burning of boiler house
was incendiarism and that the buckets
were knocked off the cable for purpose
of destroying property and throwing
the mine idle for time.
The company has not had any trouble
with their miners, having signed the
scale Immediately after the district
convention at Clearfield, and have been
doing good business ever since. The
destruction of the property is rather
mysterious.

are not sufficient to accommodate all
