PETERSBURG, May 10, 1854.
Monday evening an ARRAY occurred III
Petersburg between Mr.. John Ditmar, an
aged citizen, and Thomas j. DAVIS a
switchman on the Norfolk and western
road. which resulted in the death OF Dit,
mar. Davis was arrested and committed
TO iail. The following is his statement Oh
the affair: -.
"About quarter to s O'Clock L was
down at the signal-house. my place OF busi,
ness, when Mr.. Ditmar walked up ana
called me out and asked Inc question. lie
then struck me with q brick and knocked
me senseless to the ground. He then go.
on me and beat me. j got him on, ana
picked up a stick. a piece OF pine oar
handle, and struck him with 1t, and he Tell
to the ground" w...:..
The lnder- appeal says: "Mr. Dtmar,s
appearance was singularly life-like, ana,
SO far as external signs 60. he did not
seem TO have been rs roughly handled as
Davis. whose face was badly mutt
lated. and who was considered by the
physician in attendance to be quite seri-
ously hurt"
The same paper says that it is under
stood that the difficulty grew out OF Often
sjye remarks which were made by Davis
,bout a member OF Ditmar's family; also
that Ditmar was a sufferer from heart
disease.

Charles O,Conor died at Nantucket.
Mass, yesterday morning. His death had
for few days past been mOmentarily en-
pected. He occupied distinguished po-
sitIon among the great lawyers this cOun-
try has produced. His prominence was
increased by the success with which, in
conjunction with Mr.. Tilden, he prose-
cuted the ring cases against the municipal
officers of New York in 1873. breaking up
the Tweed regime and accomplishing
a peaceful revolution in the govern
ment of that city. Charles OConor
was born in New York in 1904, soon
after the arrival OF his parents from
Ireland. He obtained the elements OF
a classical education. and taking up the
study of law, was in 1924 admitted to the
bar. He was employed in the Forrest d.
vorce case, the Lemon slave case, and other
important cases, some Of which involved
very large amounts, and was also OF cOun-
sci for President Jefferson Davis. He was
a jealous Democrat. As long ago as De-
cember, 1875. Mr.. O'Conor's life was de-
SPARED of, but his wonderful constitution
and great power Of will enabled him to
survive what for awhile was thought TO be
fatal attack. For several years past he
lived in retirement at Nantucket, Mass.

by the late Robert 5. Jones, is, | learn, to
be removed and substituted by large

large stOre-roOms, with two dwellings

first ever built on what is now the Main
street Of Charlottesville, and was used as n
barrack for soldiers in 1872. IL is a wooden
structure, and the late owner being a man
OF mechanical genius and eccentric ideas,
subjected il TO so many changes that it Is
difficult for one not acquainted with these
changes to pass through it. The new
building is to cost about $4,000.
