He is today engaged in repairing dangerous breaches in tbe forts sod earthworks ashore. The dispatch con taius a report that Mello lelt Rio with i portion of his fleet to intercept vessels coming to Peizoto's aid. There was some desperate fighting between tbe rebel ships and tbe forts at tbe entrance to tbe harbor as Mello tiied to get out. Tbe fire of the forts was well directed, and Mello succeeded in getting past only af ter his flagship bad been severely dam aged. ODce outside be (teamed south' wardly, but it ii believed this was only a ruse, and that tbe admiral changed bis caurse as soon as out of sight. - It it re. ported that Mello is not scared at the re- ported power 01 the djuamite gun on Doard one ot the vessels of tbe relieving squadron.

He read in a firm voice a conlession acknowledging tbe justice of bis sentence. ! - Just before the trap fell, a large nnm-. berof sheriffs from different parts ol tbe state and about 500 invited citizens from tbe city and county were admitted withi in tbe inclosure and saw the haDsinb, which went off all right. He ascended tbe steps of the gallows unaided and was given a few minutes' time in which to say a lew words to the spectators. In firm tones be said: "I acknowledge my guilt of tbe crime for am about to suffer death, the1 of tbe sentence and tbe impartial - lty ot the judge and jury. I have to thank Sheriff Smith and his deputies for their kindness. . I forgive everybody. I hope tbat I may myself be forgiven, and that all will pray for me." Toward the end of his remarks tbe paper which he held trambled slightly, but beyond this do a;gn of faintness was visible until Sheriff Smith began to pin ion him. Be i ore this operation was com pleted be had to be supported. ' The straps were arranged with remark able celerity and dexterity and the rope adjusted in a few minutes. No time was lost, and as the sheriff completed the -ad' jDstment he lifted bia hand and the trap fell. Reiter's neck was dislocated and lile was pronounced extinct in min utes.

Fryer, belter knewa as Pauline Cushmau, the noted female scout of the civil war, died today from the effects of a dose of mor phine, which she took during last night. but whether accidentally or with suicidal intent has not been determined. Mrs. K. Taylor, landlady of tbe lodcicg -house where Mrs f ryer'died, said this after noon that Mrs. Fryer had been in ber bouse for three years. She believed tbe fatal dose was accidentally taken, as tbe deceased had suffered Irom rheumatism, and had been in'tue habit of taking mor phine to ease her pains. Mrs. Fryer's only income was petition money received on account f services of her first bus bund, Charles D.ckini-orj. She had a second husband, Jerry Fryer, from whom he bad been separated for some time. Paulino Cushman, the deceased, bad been widely celebrated, on account oi ber ser vices during 'the war.

Frank Johns. He, with another preacher, had been holding revival meet ings at Columbus tor several days past, and that evening went to Grants to bring his sister over to the service. The time for his arrival at tbe meeting bad elapsed and he made no appearance, aod serious appreoensions were felt that the boat had capsized in crossing the Columbia and that both were drowned. A vigilant search was made until about midnight when both parties were fouud at a farm houe a few miles down the river, where tbey bad drifted in their boat during a squall. This relieved the anxiety of tbe neigbuorhood; but it was somewhat strange that Mr. Johns, knowing tbe ex citement that hisdisappearance would canse bis wife,- bad not by some means sent word of his safety. A Dastardly Outrage. Albany Herald. A dastardly outrage waa committed by some unknown miscreant Wednesday night at tha residence of Mr. Walter B. Peacock, from which he and his mother narrowly escaped suffocation. Mr. Peacock and his mother, an elderly lady, reside in tbe eastern part of the city. Wednesday night Mr. Peacock remained late at the store, and bis mother went to a neighbor's to stay nntil he returned. About 10 o'clock ho went to ths neighbor's house and accompanied his mother home. On en tering the bouse thay were mat with some thing supposed to be the stiffing odor of chloroform, aud his mother was overcome by it She screamed for help aqd ber cries attracted the attention of tho neighbors. Mr. Peacock, fearing that the miscreant was in hiding near by, fired several shots from a revolver, which brought a number of men to the place. It is thought tbat the deadly drug had been injected through the keyhole, evidently with a syringe, and no doubt with the insane idea that tbe inmates could be overcome for ths purpose of mur der or robbery, or both. Suspicion points to tbe party who committed the dead, and tha police will keep tha suspect uadar close survailance. Mr. Peacock's lift has bean laUly threat ened and tha polios think this may throw some light on Wednesday night's outrage. Placer Mining;, Several months sgo a conr.pany was formed of Mt.
