telegraph and Messenger: Yesterday after
noon about $3.50 O'Clock difficulty occurred
at the supply yard of the East tennessee Vir-
ginia and Georgia Railroad, at the foot of Pine
street, between Major John f. storey, Master
Machlnist or the new road. and Mr. Robert
sheridan, an engineer. From an eye witness
we get the folio wing account OF the affair: It
seems that Mr.. Sheridan had been employed
on the new ROAD at the AT anita end He was
discharged about six weeks ago for some dis
obedience OF orders Yesterday afternoon he
went out 70 the yard and after shaking hands
with Major Storey, asked him il he had a Job for
him yet. 1he Majoe replied that he had no place
70 give him at present. This answer did not ap-
pear TO please Mr.. Sheridan, and he began to
abuse the MsJOr, and dur ng the conver alton
the lie was given, but by which party is not GER
tain Mr., heridan struck the Major, who is
one armed, and then several licks were passed
In STOPPING down to pick up an iron bolt Mr.
sheridan managed TO get out his knife and
stab the Major in the neck. The Major picked
up the bolt and dealt Mr.. Sheridan several
blows on the head, and compelled him to give
up his knife By this time the employees of the
road got 20 the men and separated them Major
storey sent for DR.. Fitzgerald, who dressed ms
wound in the office at the yard. Mr.. Sheridan
walked to Menard & Pigman's drug store, on
Fourth street, where his wounds were attended
to, after which he walked of in the direction
of MS home. The information reached Lieut.
Wylie that Major Storey's wound was fatal, and
he dispatched Officers Macafferty ana Doc
Fennell to arrest MIR Sheridan, but they failed
70 find him up to midnight. We are glad to
state that neither gentlemen are much hurt
The Majors wound is painful, but not serious
one. MIR. Sheridan's head was cut by the iron
bolt, but not to any great extent"
