ten o'clock, on Gay street, in this city
Joseph A. Mabry, Sr., Joseph A. Ma.

fell in a conflict, with two other par.
ties wounded. The difficulty grew
out Of an old grudge. Yesterday at
the races, Joseph Mabry, Sr., ap.
preached O'Connor with threats
and his hands on his arms,
in the amphitheater, at which
O'ConnOr replied that it was no place
aud time for an ARRAY and that he was
unarmed. This morning, rumor goes,
Mabry, ST., sent 0'Connor word that
he would kill him on sight. At 10
o'clock Mabry passed down Gay street
on the opposite side of the street from

the middle of the pavement, and fred

As he did so Mabry, Jr.
who was rapidly coming down the
street, fred upon him with pistol

THE Avalanche keeps hammering
away at Hon. Casey Young with edi
torial squibs and long prosy articles
from an Arkansas correspondent sign
ing himself Rambler" whose attacks
on Mr. YouOg in respect to the Texas
Pacific Rail Road, in view Of the facts
of the matter, would really be ludi
crous, but for the evident malignity
and i'll temper which crops out all
through his two long articles on the
subject. Our neighbor must surely
have a good deal Of space to spare if
he can surrender column and half
for the purpose Of such a communica
tion as appears in his issue of this
morning. We do not suppose that a
statement on the other side Of the
matter would have much influence
upon either our cotemporary ol
his correspondent, but as the
public may be interested in
knowing all the facts we think it
we'll enough to give few of them al
least In order that an intelligent
judgment may be formed as to whether
Mr.. Young neglected the interests oi
Memphis while he was in Congress
At a joint meeting of the Cotton
Exchange and Chamber Of Commerce
Of Memphis, held on the 10th day Of
March, 1878, to hear the report of a
special committee previously appointed
to report on the eoutbern Pacific
railroad bill, the committee, consisting
Of A. j. Kellar, j. w. Clapp, W. W
Guy, j. T. Trezevant, D. 7. Porter
and II. G. Smith, reported, among
other things, that the Southern Pa
ci6c railroad should connect the
waters of the Mississippi river BY
direct route from Memphis with the
Pacific ocean, and that the members
of Congress from Tennessee be urged
to insist upon making Memphis the
eastern terminus" A resolution wal
then passed calling mass meeting oi
the citizens of Memphis to ratify this
report. This mass meeting was helC
at the Peabody Hotel on Friday even
ing, March %, 1873, and, among Others
the following resolution was unani
mously adopted
"That Memphis by reason OF hel
geographical location and unrivalet
means of communication with all sec
tions of the country assert with un
bounded confidence her eminen
fitness as the Eastern terminus Of salt
road and requests her Senators an
Representatives in Congress 10 exer
else their whole influence and states
manship to secure Memphis as tn,
starting point in any bill that ma
receive tho favorable consideration o
4 Congress-
These facts would seem to be a sui
fcient answer TO Rambler. Now wi
he or the Avalanche make the prope
correction.

An Army Officers Misfortune.
MISCHIEF DONE By AN INDIAN BULLET.

From the New York Herald, to-day.
DR.. c. H Agnew has just performed dangerous
and difficult operation, OF which it is difficult as
yet to determine the effects His patient is Lieut..
George L Converse. Jr., company J, Sd United
states cavalry. This gentleman Is the son OF
george l. Converse, member OF Congress from
Ohio, who has been stopping with him at the GIL
sey House, where the operation was performed.
Lieut.. Converse was injured while lighting at the
head OF his company, on the 18th OF July ult. His
command became engaged with party OF Apaches
at ChevelOris Fork, Arizona, and q bullet struck
him near the outer corner OF the right eye. From
tnat time forward his sight entirely failed him.
He was sent h0me but was in critical condition.
Dr. Agnew removed the right eye from the socket,
ana then made the discovery that the bullet
Wnicn was believed to have passed into the body
ana probably reached the stomach, was lodged In
the angie OF the socket and SO firmly nxed that 1t
was deemed dangerous to remove It From the
examination 1t would appear that the bali had
eltered spot where It was brought almost tn con-
TACT with the brain, and DR.. Agnew feared that
any attempt to displace It would be attended by
fatal results The physician is hopeful OF the
entire success Of the operation.
