Quick Work and Good Gunnery By Citizens OF
Knoxville.
KNOXVILLE, Oct. 19.-This morning
Gen. Joseph A. Mabry, Sr., and Joseph
A. Mabry, Jr., and Major Thomas
OConnor, all fell in a conflict. Two
other parties were wounded. 1t was an
old grudge. Yesterday at the races
Mabry threatened O'Connor, but the
latter thrust him off, saying it was no
place for fight, and he was unarmed.
This morning Mabry sent O'Connor
word that he would kill him on sight.
At 10 o'clock Mabry was going down
Gray street, opposite the bank of which
he is president. OConnor stepped to
the middle of the street and fred two
shots in rapid succession, both taking
effect, Gen. Mabry falling. O'Connor
Selling another gun, and seeing Mabry.
Jr., coming rapidly towards him with
a pistol in his hand, fired. At the same
instant Mabry fired his pistol and both
men fell dead.
The whole tragedy occurred within
two minutes. Neither of the three spoke
word after being shot. Gen. Mabry
had about thirty buckshot in his BODY.
A bystander was painfully wounded in
the thigh and another in the arm. Four
other men had their clothes pierced by
buckshot. The affair caused great ex-
element and Gay street was thronged
with 1000 people. Gen. Mabry and
his son Joe were acquitted only few
days ago of the murder of Moses Lusby
and Don Lusby, father and son, whom
they killed some weeks ago. Will Mabry
was killed by Don Lusby last Christ

the Society, although, without license

Sundays, with the object to complete the

He has now thrown aside all regard

lie has opened a bitter contest against
the regular radical congressional can
didate. and intends that his personal
prestige shall be felt and admitted in the
81 district. His long experience as the
trusted leader and organizer of the re-
publican party in this state, makes him
all the more valuable as an allie of the
democratic party. He is helping us to
distract and defeat the radical republi-
can. In this direction he will exert
more influence than all else combined
In this, he has the encouragement of the
democratic committee, who have reason
TO know his value. His election to the
legislature, last year. lin strong dem
ocratic districD tells the whole story.
And he helped our party more, last win
ter, than even AIR. Rankin, chairman of
the democratic state committee He is
bold, unhesitating worker, and is do
ing good service for the success of the
democratic party to-day. He has cut
all the lines of communication between
himself and the radical republican party.
he has burned the bridge behind him,
and can never return to train i'm the
ranks OF the radical corruptionists. His
voluntary withdrawal is another proof
OF the waneing fortunes of the Republic
cans.
There now remains but one thing
more for Mr.. Reyes to do, that he NAV
make his work of retribution doubly eff |
fective. That be must and will do
come out squarely. and urge his follow
ers to vote directly for the election of
Burr w. Jones, of Madison. 1t is now
time to remove all disguise, and put in |
his work where it will do the most good. |
Mr.. Reyes is entitled to all credit for the |
assistance he is rendering in this cam
paign. The democratic committee have
reason to endorse his efforts, and afford
him all possible aid, SO as to make those
efforts decisive.
To Hon. f. W. Reyes must be given
all honor in the election of a Demo-
cratic congressman in the Third Dis
trlcf; and we expect to see the day
when, as the chairman of the demo-
cratic state central committee, his emf
nent ability as party organizer will be
devoted to the supremacy of correct
principles in Wisconsin, Prairie du

Heroic Conduct OF an Engineer on the Penus,I
vania Road.


vsnla Road.
New YORK Oct. 22.-The New Bruins.
wick way train of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad, which left Jersey City to-day
soon after ] o'clock, crowded with pas.
sengers for Newark, Elizabeth, Railway,
and other places as far as New Bruins
wick. had very narrow escape from
destruction. When the train was lust
beyond Marion, and heading for the
Hackensack bridge, some of the passen-
gers in the smoking and forward cars
saw flames issuing from the cab of the
locomotive. Instantly the report spread
through the train that the cab was on
ire Presently those furthest forward
saw the fireman, engineer, and third
man crawl out from the flames and
back over the tender. The train was
running at the time forty miles an hour.
All efforts to get the breaks to work
failed. None of the passengers knew
what the real facts were, but all felt that
something terrible was impending, and
dismay was depicted on every counten-
anee. The engineer, A. j. Steele,
braced his nerves, clenched his teeth.
and sprang back into the flame-circled
cab. He seized the reverse bar, revers-
ed the engine, and thus saved the lives
of all on board. The train came to a
standstill on the Hackensack bridge.
Train hands and passengers, soon pro-
cured water and extinguished the flames
on the cab. Meanwhile the heroic en-
gineer, scorched all over and his hands
burned so that it seemed his fingers
would drop off, sprang back and plung-
ed into the water tank of the tender.
There he was found in a shocking con-
dition. and writhing in pain. He was
transferred to another train and placed
in the hospital in Newark. This even
ing it was stated that his recovery was
extremely doubtful. After the extinc-
ton of the cab flames and the removal
OF Steele, the fireman took the train to
Newark, but the engine was so much
out of order that it had to be laid aside.
The passengers could not find language
to express gratitude for their hairbreadth
escape and their admiration for the
heroism of the brave Steele
