The principal toplo of conversation in Knoxville yesterday was the terrible tragedy enacted at Seviervllle Thursday evening a full report of which, appeared In the Journal. An occasional correspondent of the Journal last night sent the following account of the tragedy; and of yesterday's develpoments.

Seviervllle, Nov. 80. About 7 o'clock last night while Dr. J. A.

Henderson, his wife, little son and a neighbor neighbor W. A. Green, were sitting quietly at the fireside of Dr. Henderson's house, some one quietly slipped up to a window, the blinds of which were open, placed at shot gun near the window and discharged a load of buckshot. Six of the shot entered-the face and head of Dr.

Henderson, terribly mutilating the flesh and causing almost instant death. Coroner T. Atchley summoned, a jury of Inquest and entered Into a thorough examination of whole transaction. The jury ref jmed A "verdict to the effect that Dr. Henderson came to Ms death by a gin shot, fired by the hands of W.

H. Gass. Thereupon a warrant was at once sworn out by the coroner charging Gass with murder in the first degree in accordance with the finding of the Jury. The warrant was placed In jthe hands of a constable who arrested Gass and now has him In custody under heavy guard. There- has been a great deal of excitement In Seviervllle over the tragedy and a strong sentiment Is expressed agiainst the man who went in the dark to hla neighbor's house and In the pres.

ence ef his family and without warning shot "him down. There has been talk of lynching Gass and he Is in the custody of strong- guard.The counsel of the best men In town Is that the law should take its course and there is not the 'least bit of danger of an attempt at lynching. Mr. Gasa will have a preliminary bearing before 'Squire Mulfendore at 2, p. to-morrow.

Thie remains of Dr. Henderson will be Interred at Shlloh church to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock. The funeral wllr be in charge of the "Masons and Odd Fellows. ANOTHER REPORT. i Anoxner somjee of information, a gentleman of good standing had the following te say about the tragedy: Mr.

Gass, the man accused of klUlng Dr. Henderson, went to Constable Mack S. Rawlina yesterday after din ner and said he understood that the public had become I generally of the opinion thait he had killed Dr. Henderson and that he wished to deliver himself The officer accordingly placed Jtrim tinder arrest and the prisoner at that time was under guard but not In jalL He further stated that a jury of In quest been hield and that the verdict was that the deeds was presumably committed by W. IX Gass and ordered that he" be held under that charge.

He added that the verdict was based on a mere supposition. Gass upp to that hour had made no confession and had said nothing more than is already stated. The funeral will be held at 10 p. m. to-day.

TALK IN TOWN. This affair was talked over In every KnoxriUe business houses yesterday. more or less. One gentleman who Is fa miliar with the principals of the tragedy, said that Mrs. Henderson was a daughter of W.

CL, or Cam, Murphy, by his first wife, who was a daughter I of Alex McBath. one of the heaviest land owners in Blount and Sevier counties; that Dr. Henderson" Is a brother of G. Mc. Henderson of Rut man ui superior quai- i ay influence for good.

Several persons In city know Gass very well and the doctor Is al known here.

One gentleman stated that It wad known that in a recent fight between the white caps and their enemy, one of the latter waa found to have a gun In bis possession which belonged to Dr. Henderson. The white caps finding this out had the doctor marked as one of their victims and knowing that Gass had grounds for putting the doc tor out the way, took advantage of the circumstance and let the whole situation be charged up to Gasa This story seems to be believed by quite a number, G. Mc Henderson arrived In the city yesterday, purchased a casket-and toot the same with him to Seviervllle. He Is reported as saying that he did not be neve that Gass was the man who committed the murder.

He intimated so it is stated, that he knew others-had a reason for taking the life of his brother. T- hese and other reports were rife on the streets yesterday and tend to throw a cloud of mystery about the tragedy, but the whole truth will probably be developed In a short time. OVER THE DIVIDE Death of Ex-Senator Josf ph E. Brown of Georgia. A ZXan Who Rose From the Ranks of the Common People to Honors Which Few Ken Eave ever Attained.

Atlanta, Nov. SO. Ex-Senator Joseph E. Brown died at 2 :30 o'clock this afternoon, aged 73. He waa Georgia's war governor, was chief justice of the supreme court and was since the war United States senator.

He wa been in feeble health for some time. -Joseph Emerson Brown was in many respects a remarkable man, one of the best latter day examples of the self-made American. He was born of poor parents in Pickens- county, South Carolina, April 15, 182L At the age of fifteen he removed with his parents to Georgia, He received a limited education at Calhoun academy In South Carolina and; taught school at Canton. Ga. At the same time he read law and was admitted; to the; bar in August 1845.

He graduated at Yale law school la 1846 anvl settled down to the practice of his profession at Canton, He was presidential elector on the Pierce ticket in 1S52 and in 1855 was elected' Judge of wha known as the Blue Ridge circuit. As a democrat he was elected governor of Georgia In 1S57 and again In 1S59 and 1861 and 1863. He was an ardent secessionist, seizing: Forts Pulaski and Jackson near Savannah. Jan. 3, 1861, sixteen days before his state seceeded.

He was a vigorous suporter of the confederate government but he disagreed with President Davis as to the constitutionality of the conscription acts. About the time of Sherman's Invasion of Georgia, he raised an army of 10,000 men which became famous as Joe Brown's "pikers" as many of them were armed With spears or pikes. The army was composed of state officials, old men, boys and others who were really exempted from military duty. They did effective work at home but when the confederate government made a requisition for their services outside of the state, General Brown-promptly refused to allow them to go. In October, 1864, Gen.

Sherman made a request for a conference. He refused claiming that he had no right to act without permission from the legislature. After his release from prison In 1866 having been Imprisoned by the federal authorities he urged his state to accept the terms of the reconstruction. This made him veryS unpopular with the partlzan democracy of his state, and for a time he acted with the republicans voting for General Grant for president in 186S. He was republican: candidate for United States senator la that year and was defeated.

He was made supreme judge of Georgia, and resigned in 1870, retiring for a time from- publio life. After that he was for many years president of the Western and Atlantic railroad and waa elected to the United States senate In 1880. From that time until March iS'ji. he was in the senate. Since then ha (has led a quiet life being engaged iu business pursuits.

Dana.

President of the United Press; Dear Sir We beg on behalf of the Southern Associated Press to acknowledge the receipt of your very cordial telesram, -conveying assurances ot your very nearxy aesire on the part of the United to cooperate tn every possible way with our association and, to thank you for the same. We desire to express our approb ation of your sentiments and to assure you that we nave next entire connaence in our own ability to maintain tne integrity of tbe Southern Asoclated Press and to carry out the spirit and letter the contradt relations we have estab lished with your association. In approv ing the contract entered Into between our executive committee and your body on November 26tto, it seems neces sary that a statement of our reasons for taking this important step should be fully understood by your associa tion. The Associated Press of Illinois, having made certain statements about the relations between- the Associated Press and the Southern Associated' Press, are full of misrepresentations. We deem it our duty to make a pre- mentation of the facts, that the truth may be known how the relations between the two organizations were sev- erexi.

The statement that there was any real airr erence between the New Organs papers and the Southern Associated Press (which deny) was suffi cient to authorize the conduct, of the Associated Press of Illinois, is the merest subterfuge, and was made for the sole purpose of deceiving the public. The Associated Press of Illinois had violated Sts contracts before the arbitration occurred, arid had taken the two New Orleans papers under its wing, In plain violation Of its promises in writing and permitted these papers te follow the leaJd. by its acts to repudiate its promises to our assocSatlon. We charge that the arbitration proceedings were inspired by the Associated Press of Illinois for the purpose of nruxldying- the waters, and to create dissension. We deny that the Southern Associated Press ever agreed to the arbitration or ever consented to the decision of the arbitrators, and we chanre thait the said arbitration proceedings were ex pane, imenoed to be so for the -purpose of.

giving an excuse to the Associated Press of Illinois for conduct it well knew would have to be covered by such a course of action. At a meet- I Ing oT; the Southern Associated Press In Aftlarta, November 29, 1894. a special committee was appointed to make a statement or facts of the case for the information of the public and this committee have prepared the following declaration. On Odtober 14th, 1S92. the Southern Associated Press entered Into agreement with the Associated Press orillll no is which was to continue until 1901, the United Press was also a party to this contract and It has never faltered I carrying- it out in letter or spirit.

On the contrary the Associated nPress of ITltnois because of Its hostility to the United Press, vio- oiated its. agreement and more uthan a year ago surrepetlttously admitted to membership two New Orleans newspapers and -then sent Its reports to Augusta where they attempted to stampede and destroy the Southern Associated Press. KTbls effort having failed other devices to disintegrate the organlzarticn were resorted to and nothmjr -was left undone to sweep the Southern As- sucisiett' jrrews kbu piac? us memoers at the mercy of the Chicago organization.
