Jos. A. KaLry and Jcs. A. Mabry, Killed.

Last Thursday a few minutes after ten o'clock, at Kuoxville, three bravo men gave up their lives for what misguided men call ''honor" and "courage." The following report of the alTair wo condense from the Tribune's statement, which is in substance the same, as that in the Chronicle Major Thomas O'Conner was stand ing in the door of the Mechanics National Hank on Gav street, of which bank he was President and one of the principal stockholders. Gen. Jos. A. Mabry and Hubert Steele, came walking down bay street on the opposite side and jroinir in the direction of Church street.

As they reached a point opposite the Mechanics Hank, Maj. O'Conner reached inside- the door and got a double barrelled shot-gun, stepped out ou the pavement, cocked the jiii it, raised it to his shoulder, took deliberate aim at Gen. Mabry who was about one step-behind Steele, 11 red and Mabry fell. Gen. Mabry fell on his face and as he fell O'Con ner emptied the other barrel into Ma-bry's body.

Mabry fell almost in the door of r. confectionery store. Hobert Steele ran into the People's lis nk, which is next door. Major O'Conner rel irned his empty gun to the bank, and received another double barrelled 6hot gun from inside the door, or from hands of someone within. In the mean tiirc Joseph A.

Mabry, who was at Justice Allison's office on Clinch street, counsel in a case, hearing the tiring rushed out and came running in the direction of the Mechanics' National Hank. Major O'Connor did not see him, but was evidently watching for Steele. When young Mabry reached a point near the middle of Gay street, nearly opposite the tailoring establishment of Douglass Moore and about forty feci from the door of the Mechanics' Hank, he raised his pistol, took deliberate aim, and fired at Maj. O'Conner. Almost at the same instant, Major O'Conner turned half to the riuht and fired at young Joe Mabry.

Witnesses think there was scarcely a secon 1 between the two reports. Young Mabry sank to the ground and before a secord had elapsed Major O'Conner sank to the pavement falMng on his back, threw his arms wide open and died without a tu mor. Joe Mabry attempted to rwe but only got about half way up. then tell on his back and died in a few second without uttering a word and no struirlc was perceptible except the twitching of the muscles and the death gurgle in his throat. Some of ti witnesses say that young Mabry fired a second shot when he attempted to rise, but if so, it was without, aim or effect.

About the time Major O'Conner fell a pistol shot was tired from Dm door of the bank, behind him, but this was also without efiect. The ball that killed Major O'Conner enteral (ho right breast two or three inches in front of the right shoulder, the ball passing almost through the body and passing" near the heart. The shot which killed young Joe Mabry carried about twenty buckshot Into various parts of his body, most ot them entering his right breast and right arm, one entering his neck and another gashing his face. There was about thirl buckshot in the body of General Mabry. He fell on his face and died without moving.

A number of the shot entered his left sido and breast and others pierced his hip and thigh. From the time the first shot was fired by Major O'Conner until the three breathed their last, two minutes time had not elapsed. it was accertaiucd that several other persons were accidentally wounded by stray shot. -Half a dozen shot tore through the window on the right hand sido of JIarry's store. Doc Stewart, who was on the insido was shot in the wrist.

Sam Shepard was shot in the leg. Herman Schenck, who was standing in front of Peter Hitler's, received a shot in each leg. J. M- Hutchison was shot in one of his toes. A man named Pew was also shot in one of his toes.

Another countryman, whose name wo could not learn, received a painful wound in the thigh. Several other gentlemen had holes in their clothing. Doc Stewart had six holes shot through his coat. Dick Childress also had holes through his clothing. A pistol ball lodged in the pocket of Jno.

Moil-ett at the Express office. Several shot also entered the body of a horse standing in front of the express office. Major O'Connor's body was carried into tho Mechanics' National Hank, and the bodies of tho Mabrys were carried into Akcrs' store. Tho coroner's inquests were held at these two places. ORIGIN OF THE PIFPICULTV.

Tho difficulty which led to the death of the three men is a feud of long standing and came near reaching a culmination at tho Fair Grounds, south of the river, Wednesday afternoon at the races. General Mabry met Major O'Conner there and upbraided him, making threats against his life and wanted to shoot then and there. Major O'Conner told him that was not the tiuic and place to settle their difficulty. Major O'Conner was not armed, but General Mabry was. General Mabry then and there warned Major O'Conner that ho should not live, Later In the evening or Thursday morning, as we learn, General Mabry sent word to Major O'Conner that he ould kill him on sight.

Tho dispute between the men was in reference to the transfer of a firm which Major O'Conner had purchased of General Mabry. General Mabry claimed that Major O'Conner (who promptly denied lh report at the time) had promised to give the farm to his son young Will Mabry, who was murdered by Don Lusby last Christmas. After tho murder of his son General Mabry's mind seemed to be affected and he insanely charged that Major O'Conner had hired Lusby to kill Will Mabry in order to release himself from his promise to jdvo the farm to Will. At tho lime of the Lusby trial, it is said that General Mabry made threats against Major O'Conner's life, repeating the charge that ho had procured the death of his son. Of course no person who knew Major O'Coiiner ever believed tint ho had aught to do with the 6ad death of Will Mabry.

The charge was not regarded seriously by those who knew how General Mabry's mind had been affected by the terrible mental anguish he suffered when his son was murdered. Since the killing of Moses Lusby and his son Don Lusby by Genera Mabry and young Joe a few weeks ago, the General lias seemed to he further than ever oil' mental balance. Thejuiy returned a verdict that Gen. Joseph A. Mabry came to his death from a shol-gun, fired in the hands of Maj.

Thomas O'Conner. And that Joseph A. Mabry, came to his death from a shot-gun, fired in lie hands of Maj. Thomas O'Conner, And that Maj. Thomas O'Conner c.iine to his death from a pistol shot, tired in the hands of Joseph A.

Mabry, Jr. The funerals took place Saturday. Major Thomas O'Conner was born In Halifax county, Virginia, and was between fortv-six and fori v-seven years old. He came to Knwxville thirty-odd years ago a penniless youth and began life in Kuoxville as a harness maker. At the breaking out ol the late unpleasantness he was among the first to don the gray and as a first Lieutenant he enlisted in Capt.

Hu-waht's artillery organized in Kuoxville. He made a gallant soldier, fought with distinction, served a term as prisoner at Johnson's Island, Lake Erie, and was discharged at the surrender of Lee with due honor. He retui ncM to Kuoxville, hut found it an uneasy abiding place, and sought Ids fortunes in Atlanta G. He then embarKed in the harness trade, and began to make money, since which lime he has rapidly risen amongllic monied men of the day. lie was looked upon as being the shrewdest poli tician no Mate, yet politics was not his profession.

He was a. member of the National Democratic Committee, which ofiiec he has held since the Hancock convention, to which he went as chairman of the delegation from Tennessee. At that Convention ho was spoken of as Vice President. Gen. Jos.

A. Mabry was born January 2dth, 18-0, fourteen miles west of Kuoxville, on a farm known as the Old Mabry place, lie was a man at one time of the finest energy and business tact. His influence in Tennessee politics was almost supreme at one time, when lie had control of half the press in the Stale. Complications overtook Ids business by which his fortune was broken, since which limn he never has been he same man, Of late years he has been drinking deeply. When in fortune he was the most generous and liberal of open-handed gentlemen'.

During his whole life he has given wav to a highly excitable and rash temperament, which, coup-' led ith a dauntless courage, has made hiin a dangerous man to Ids foes, yet to his friends lie was true, tender and self sacrificing. Joseph A. Mabry, was born May 23d, 1855, Hi Kuoxville, where he was raised and chiefly educated. Having arrived at the years of manhood he became an exemplary citizen, and as a boy, ho was popular and esteemed by all of his associates. His temperament was nearly the reverse of his father's, being cool under trials and deliberate in his actions.

He was peaccablo, open-hearted, frank and social in his disposition, and possessed of all the polish and culture of a thorough gentleman. Kecontrc and altercation were distasteful to him and it was only bv unavoidable cir cumstances and natural tics that led) him to take life. Ueivarc of Imitations.

I must not forget to stale that there is a large Academy here; which has a graded school that i3 an honor to any town. There is also a Sabbath School, attended by the best of citizens. Coal mining is extensively carried on, there being 100 car loads shipped per day. Husiuess is very lively.
