The Mate of the Mary C. Mariner
Stabbed to Death.

A despatch from New York says that brig
Mary G. Mariner of Portland, Maine from
Vignes 10 days, arrived at quarantine New

union down. The pilot who had brought her
in to the harbar went on shore, hurried to
the telegraph station and sent the following
despatch to Captain South of the police boat
patrol: There has been murder.committed
on board the brig, Mary c. Mariner. Come
down."
Half an hour later Sergent Taylor of the
police boat, boarded the Mariner and found
that sailor named Frank Pakeleton, aged
%, had on the morning of the 10th instant
stabbed the chief officer, James c. Lewis to
death. The two had quarrel concerning
the proper performance Of some work, and
the mate, it is said, had struck and otherwise
maltreated Pakeleton.
The brig sailed from Portland with cargo
of shocks several months ago, bound to ST.
Pierre. Most Of the present crew, including
the prisoner and murdered man, were then

vessel left for st. Thomas for orders. After
this she proceeded to plantation at Rio

then started to sea, her destination being
New York.
The vessel had been eight days out from
Rio Grande when the prisoner accidentally

stabbed the mate in the right side of hi;
neck.
The prisoner with two witnesses was TAX
