Shot NenrIEis EInmc.

Last Monday evening near sunset, Mr.
Marsh Walker, deputy United States Mar
shall, while on his way to church with
his wife on the south side of the river, and
not far from his residence was attacked
by two men, who were evidently under
the influence of strong drink, abusing and
cursing him in an ungentlemanly manner.
Mr.. Walker told them to go away, as he
did not wish to have any difficulty
with them, when they cursed him and
called him liar. This, Walker said, was
too much, and turned towards them, when
one of them drew pistol and commenced
firing, one ball taking effect in his ankle.
Mr., Walker does not know the names OF
either of the parties who committed this
outrage, but thinks he recognized them as
Sewer county men.
DIR. M. l.. Rokgers dressed the wounds,
but as we failed to see the doctor after his
return, we are unable to state the extent OF
Mr.. Walkers injuries.

A CHILD RUN OVER.
criminal Negligence or Dray Drive,

Last Friday morning about IL O'Clock,
colored driver named John Campbell
drove his wagon over a child, year
old daughter of Esqire Alley, badly in
jurlng the same. 1t seems from what we
can learn, the child in company with sew
eral other children, was playing on Water
street, opposite the residence of Mrs. Boy
ington, when the child attempted to cross
the street, just as the wagon came along,
and it was testified that he could have
easily averted the accident by stopping his
team, but that instead of this, he cracked
his whip, thus fastening on his horses.
The child was knocked down by one of
the horses, and two of the wagon
wheels passed over the child breaking one
of her thighs as well as sadly bruising up
one side of her head and taking off the tip
of her ear. The driver stopped and en-
quired whose child it was and being told,
left in rather hasty manner. The little
girl was taken up by q neighbor and taken
to the residence of its parents and Drs.
Swift and Boyd were called in to give il
medical attention From Dr. BOYD we
learn that although from present indica-
tons the injuries are not necessarily of a
fatal nature, yet it Is almost a matter of
impossbiltY to tell how cases of this ma
ture will terminate. In the afternoon the
driver was brought up before the Recorder
and the facts being made known, he was
fined $50 and costs. He gave security for
the payment of the fine,

There was a considerable increase in the
excitement throughout the city yesterday
over the difficulty between the officers and
the employees of the East Tennessee, Va.
and Ga. Railroad. Men who on the first
day of the suspension thought it a lament
able affair now begin to see that it is Sc
rious and far-reaching in its bad results.
In the first place the trouble is to be re
GREETED on account of the hundred and
fifty men who are out of work. Their
wages, on an average, are perhaps two
and a half dollars per day. This fOots up
loss to them, and to the community, of
three hundred and seventy-five
dollars per day. But this less is
not of labor alone. The shops that are sus-
pended consume every day in coal, lum-
Der, iron, steel, brass, &C., &C., many dol
lars more. The stopping of the freight

of all East Tennessee. Goods sold here by
wholesale merchants can not be shipped.
This is announcement to them, for IL prRcti-
cally suspends their business and 1t is in
convenient to the merchants in the coun-
try who are waiting for their goods, and
who are losers every day they arc deprived
of them. An exaggerated report of the
rouble has spread abroad, and merchants
are afraid to come to the city to trade, for
fear they can not get back home or ship
their goods. The stagnation-in trade yes
Teruayi partly uue To the causes named,
was very great. a general feeling of I'M
easiness prevailed. and very earnest hope
expressed that the trouble should be
speedily ended.
The relations of so important a line of
transportation to the commercial classes
are very intimate aud ageneral suspension
of business by the former effects the latter
very seriously. There is no doubt some
freight at Bristol, Knoxville and Chatta-
nooga awaiting shipment. Nearly every
depot has some goods to send off, which, so
long as it stands there affects the ship

ceeds of which he expects to meet u note

The Diniculty sdill Upsettied-How the
Public IL Affected

As result of the financial stringeney,
last Friday notice was published to the
employees of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia Railroad, announcing reduce
ton of twenty per cent on all salaries eX-
ceeding ST. per day, and of ten per cent.
on all receiving that or less amount; and
on the heels of the announcement we are
called on to note the stoppage of the trains,
in consequence of the
REFUSAL OF THE ENGINEERS AND FIRE

To run the same at the reduced scale of
prices. During the day 1t was apparent
that trouble was brewing, but nothing of
an unusal nature occurred until the hour

refused to run it, but at length the train

Since the commencement of the present

of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers had signified their willingness to the
officers of the Company to submit to any

Accordingly, after the appearance of the
announcement of the Vice President and

against the reduction, who were received
with the habitual courtesy that character

promulgated after the most careful deibe-
ration, and with the intention of doing the
best possible under the circumstances for
all concerned, and would not be rescinded,
whereupon the engineers determined to

which they are supported by the firemen.

From the above exhibit it will be seen
that. in round numbers, the decrease of
earnings in September was $50, 900 and in
October S45,O 900, as compared with last
year. While the earnings decreased as
above, the payroll of the Company shows
no perceptible decrease. The officers of
the Company claim that, with the pros
poets of the winter before them, and little,
if any, hope for increased earnings, they
felt compelled to make reduction.
To effect this, they called meeting of the
heads of the different departments and sub
United to them the situation and their plan
for reduction of wages. The consent of
the latter, they supposed, was authorized
by the men, and Capt. Jaques says he was
never more surprised in his life than when
the men refused to work. He supposed
they understood the plan and had consent
ed to the reduction. Upon this supposition
he issued the order, and having issued it,
and believing it fair, he would have to
maintain it. All the shops North were
cutting down time or wages, and thousands
of men everywhere were glad to get work
at living wages. Prices in every kind of
living were cut down and three dollars
and twenty cents per day, which 1t is pro-
posed to give the engineers now will be
equal to four dollars heretofore.

WHAT THE woRKINGMEN SAY.

The engineers, firemeu and blacksmiths
adhere very firmly to the position they
took at the start, and which has been here
tofore fully and fairly stated in the CHRoN-
ICLE. They say that if it is necessary for
the road to cut down expenses, they are
willing to it, but they want it cut down in
the way of reduction of time, and not in
a reduction of the value of their services
They are willing to work half day for
one-half of their old wages, but not full
day for ten or twenty per cent
less. The point of difference between the
road and the employees is, then, narrowed
down to what We have above stated. The
men say their expenses for living are as
high as they have been, and they can not
to any reduction of time, even to one day
week, or to the discharge of as many
men as is necessary, but reduction of
their per diem they can not assent to.

A FREIGHT TRAIN UNCoUPLED.

Yesterday morning as Master Mechin-
ist Hodge was about to start out with the
freight train it was mounted by number
of men, and the coupling pins drawn so
that the engine could not draw out the
train. The men were evidently determin-
ed the train should not leave, and no fur
Their attempt to move it was made. Mayor
Rule was notified of the trouble, and sent
for some of the influential men of the en-
gineers to talk over the situation.
He informed them that it was his desire
to prevent, if possible, anything like Il
breach of the peace. That should such n
thing occur, it would be the duty of the
city authorities to arrest the offending par
ty, no matter who it was. The gentlemen
with whom he conversed, assured him
that no violence was intended, and that
they would deplore anything of the sort.
ENGINEERS FROM ABROAD.
Several engineers came to the city yes
terday, intending to take positions on the
road. One of them came from near jones'
boro'. He reports that he has been visited
by several different men and advised not
to work. and told that if ne did it would
go hard with him. But he says that he is
willing to take the risk if the road will see
that he is protected. This is his statement.
Messrs. J. q. Cantrell and John Mute
spaw, engineers, and James Derring, w.
Whites and John Whites, firemen, from
service on the road, but we were informed
that, after hearing the statement of the res
1dent engineers, they refused to take work
and will go back to-day.
WHAT THE RAILROAD OFFICIALS WILL DO.
All ticket and freight agents at the East,
West and South who have been in the hab-
it of selling tickets or taking freight for
shipment over this line, have been tele-
graphed to do no more business for the
Il
they propose TO put themselves in n posi-
ton where they can not be embarrassed by
passengers or freights during the trouble.
They say that their business was light
any how, and they were never in a better
position to meet this issue. They say they
can let their cars aud engines stand idle
and stand the conflict as long as necessary.
The engineers have offered to run the
mails over the road. 1t is proviso of
their Brotherhood charter to do this, and
they will not attempt to interfere with
1t. The railroad is, therefore, in no danger
of trouble on this account.
Another effort will be made this morning
to send out freight train.
RUMoRs OF ALL KINDS.
The President of the Machinists and
Blacksmiths Union, j no Fehrenbatch from
cleveland, Ohio, is expected TO arrive here
in few days. The members of this Union
are now paid their regular wages by the
Union.
It was said yesterday that all the en-
ployees on Gen. MahOne's road, from Bris-
to TO Norfolk, were on strike because of
reduction OF wages This rumor was cur
rent yesterday, but nothing very reliable
on the subject was received. Gen. Malone
has no engineers of the Brotherhood in his
employ.
