Captured By Mello and I'm
pressed Into Service.
An Officer Drew His Sword and
Struck Charles Twice,
Cutting His Right Forearm and sinshinE
His Scaip-Charics Was n Pilot, and
the Vessel He Was on Carried n
U. 8. and British Flag.

New YORK, Nov. s.-According to
Capt. Barclay, of the British steamship
Indian Prince, from Brazilian ports,
Admiral Stanton, who was removed
from the charge of the Atlantic squad
ron, did not salute Admiral Mello. The
British skipper says the admiral really
salutcd the Brazilian flag flying from
one of Peixoto's boats under the guns
of the forts.
The Indian Prince had n cargo of cat
tie from the Rio Grande, which one OF
Admiral Mello's staff who came along
side in n launch offered to buy with a
check. Capt Barclay refused to sell
and succeeded in discharging the cat.
tie in lighters, which the launch made
fruitless efforts to capture. The launch
did cut away lighter from the Prince
and towed it out to Mello's fleet under
sharp fire from the machine guns
from the forts and shore batteries.
A native Brazilian named Charles,
who is a citizen of the United States,
was captured by Mello and impressed
into his service as pilot. Charles then
had command of tug belong.
ing to the coal firm of Wilson
& Sons, which was confscated by
Mello. A foreign merchantmen, de-
string to get out of range of the
of Mello's tugs to tow him to safe
anchorage. Charles was assigned to
do the job, and after completing it he
steamed in toward the shore, instead
of back to the fleet. A fort opened fire
on the tug, which carried Mello's white
flag at the bow, and sent shot through
her below the water line. She began
to sink, and Charles beached her. He
went back to his old employers, Wilson
g. Sons, and reported for duty.
This time the tug he commanded car
ried an American flag at the bow and a
British flag over the taffrail The flags
of two nations did not protect him,
however. One of Mellos launches cap
tured him and took him aboard the
Aquidaban. AS he stepped aboard the
war ship he was recognized as the run
away pilot. An officer drew his sword
and struck Charles twice, cutting open
his right forearm and slashing his
scalp. He fell on the deck.
The British and American consuls
heard about the incident, and the next
day a launch from British war vessel
and another from the Charleston came
alongside the Aquidab ban.
The British officer said that as the
tug belonged to British subject Mello
would have to give it up, and the
American officer said that as the tugs
pilot was an American citizen Mello
would have to give him up. Mello
cheerfully complied with the demands
of both officers and the war went on.
The skipper Of Yankee schooner
went ashore while the Indian Prince
was in harbor in Rio A Brazilian SEN
tinel le.eled his musket at the skipper,
who told him that if he did not lower
the weapon he would get licked.
Meanwhile the skipper advanced on the
sentinel and finally tripped him and
took away his musket. Later n Bra
lillian officer came along and kicked
the sentinel for almost getting his gov
ernment into trouble with Uncle Sam.

John NJ. Wagner.

In thee 6server's news columns
to-day will be found the sad story
of the death of Mr.. John M. Wag-
ner, of Statesville. who was assist
ing the Observer force during the
absence of the editor at the sick
bed of his wife. Mr.. Wagner was
an unusually bright young man.
By his own energy and will he had
made himself accomplished without
tn aid of a classical education. He
made his acquaintance with the
rough world at the early age OF
fourteen, as he himself remarked
in the Observer Office the night hes
fore bis lamentable death. His
quick profiting by experience,
coupled with his natural BRIGHT
ness, enabled him to turn his hand
to almost. anything. journalism
ever had a fascination for hun and
be could make himself useful at the
reporters desk or in the editorial
chair. He was a skiliful phariaaa
cist, and had chosen tor his life
work the responsible duties of the
physician, having spent some years
at the Baltimore Medical College
in preparing himself Tor this work,
His general information was wide
and varied. He was an omlivors
Gus reader, and, easily assimilating
all that he read, his mental acquire.
ments were such that his converse
ton, at times, might really be
described as brilliant. He was of
a kindly disposition and a general
fayorite with all who knew him.
Hardly a day since glorying in a
strong manhood; hardly q day since
the smiling face, the steady hand.
the flashing eye. and the hopes.
ambitions and bright prospects
of a young man in a land Of oppor-
tunities. Tosday weeping and
disconsolate friends, and the old
father and mother, with broken
hearts and gray hairs to go down
in sorrow to the grsves to-day the
clammy hand and closed eye: to.
day the new made grave, cows
cred with wreaths of autumn flows
'ers.
There was deep gloom 10 the
Observer office yesterday. There
is much that is pathetic in the very
thought that those most intimately
associated with MI. Wagner in his
recent connection with the Oh.
server, must force themselves to
temporarily drown their sorrow and
forget all else in the carrying out
of the routine work of daily life
that cannot be neglected. It is
hard for the hand to remain steady
and the thought to flow when the
hearts is full of gloon. But the
c~lockswork of life cannot stop, the
wheels must keep moving, and the
sand must continue to run in
Times hour>glass. 1t is true
that
Men must work and women must weep,
And the harbor bar is mourning.
