IN THE NICK OF TINE.
Old Partnership Troubles Come Near
Leading 10 n Tragedy.

About 10 O'Clock yesterday morning,
there was an occurrence in the office Of the
Widow and Orphan Fund Life Insurance
Company. in the new Odd fellows Tenn
Die, which afterward caused quite a sensa-
ton on the streets. l. was an alteration
between two well known and esteemed
citizens of Nashville-Messrs. Thomas l..
Marshall and John Doyle, the former sec
rotary of the above named insurance com
pany and the latter in the employ Of
several wholesale houses on the Square, as
night Waterman. 1t seems that Mr.. Doyle
paid a visit to Mr.. Marshall at his Office
and without many preliminary remarks
assaulted him with a pistol. Mr.. Wylie
b. Bryan happening TO be in an adjoining
office and hearing the scufile ran in just in
the nick of time. Mr.. Doyle had his pis-
toll presented and was in the act of pulling
the trigge, when Mr.. Bryan seized it, his
thumb receiving the stroke Of the
hammer and preventing it from strik-
inc the cap. Mr.. Doyle being
deprived Of his weapon, left the Office and
returned to the Square. He was arrested,
and will have a hearing before the authOri-
ties this morning.
It is said that the trouble dates back TO
partnership between the two gentlemen,
when they composed the well-remembered
firm of Doyle * Marshall, large pork
packers, in this city, till broken up by the
war

that he has never been surpassed in his
line on Nashville boards and has very rare
ly been equaled.

To the Union and American:
For fear an item in your issue Of this
morning may create the impression that
object to children visiting and playing on
the Capitol grounds, desire TO state that l
am always glad TO see them, and allow
them the most Unrestrained liberty, IS long
as they do no mischief and are not noisy
and bOisterUus. But l do object TO their
running over the grass, injuring the shrub
berry, writing on the gate posts aud walls OF
the Capitol, throwing pebbles in the pools
and at birds, getting on the cOpings Of the
steps along the pavements with muddy
feet, etc. Il is a misdemeanOr to injure
the grass and shrubbeTy, and it is my duty
TO arrest persons, whether children or grown,
so offending, and take them before a mag
istrate for trial and Imprisonment.
