Fine Leadership.

copyrighted 1891. by the United Press.)
RIO DE JANEIRO. February 12, via
MONTEVIDEO, February 1.-THE insur-
gents charge at Nictheroy on Friday
February 9Th, was notable for acts OF
bravery. Admiral Da Cana himself led
the storming party. He shot Colonel
Tasso Fragoso, Of the government garri-
son, mounted that officers horse and
rode ahead. His example caused wild en-,
thusiasm among his men. Six sailors
obtained horses in a similar manner and
galloped after him. Behind these seven
horsemen the insurgents rushed to the
plaza. There their force was divided and
attacked by an overwhelming number OF
infantry and cavalry. The insurents
were pushed back slowly, without Civ
ing any signs of panic. Admiral Da
CANA, who was the last man TO embark,
was wounded in the arm and neck.
Neither wound Is severe. and there Is no
doubt OF his recovery. Every officer OF
the insurgents force was injured in the
charge. The total loss of the insurgents
was go. The government loss was little
short Of 600.

Mr.. MITcHELL's BARN BURNED.
A Number of Cows and Horses and u
Ouintity of Proyender Consumed.

The large barn and stables on the farm
of Mr.. j. c. Mitchell on the Mechanics
vile turnpike about two miles from the
city. were burned to the ground early
yesterday morning.
The fire occurred about 1:30 O'Clock,
and when Mr. Mitchell was aroused the
flames had gotten entirely beyond control.
Indeed. the buildings were like bank
Of fire. and nearly everything IN them
was destroyed.
The barn contained n large quantity
Of provendcr, and IN the stables were
three horses, five fine Jersey cows, three
vehicles, three sets of harness. and nu-
merous farm implements. All were con-
sumed except one COW, which broke
through the door after the halter had
burned off her neck. All Of the hair was
scorched off Of her and she will probably
have 10 be Killed.
Mr.. Mitchell. who is chairman of the
Henrico Democratic COMMITTEES, and was
until recently n member OF the firm of
Hardwicke q Mitchell, places his entire
damage at s.. 900. He had $500 insurance
on the barn. but none on the contents
or the stock His theory Is that the fire
originated from a lighted match being
dropped In pile Of straw by some one
no was after his fowls. People in the
nclghborhoOd, both white and colored'
FASTENED to his assistance and did all
that they could for him. When seen yes
tcrday he seemed deeply touched by the
many expressions of sympathy and offers
of assistance rendered him.
