Propable Fatal Rencontre on Board a
Steamer,
A serious difficulty ocoursdat ths dinner ta
ble on board the steamer St. Johns, yesterday,
as she was coming up on her regular trip from
Florida. Among the passengers were Mr. It.
Kerr Elliott, of Fayette county, Fla., and Er.
Staggers, of the same State, but of what coun
ty we were unabie to learn. Sharp words
passed between ths parties at various times
during the trip, and yesterday, while sit
ting opposite each other at the dinner tab!e,
the quarrel was resumed by 8taggers, with
vary abusive language, lie finally arose, with
a case knife in his hand, leaning over towards
Elliott, when ths latter deliberately drew a
pistol and fired. Staggers fell, tbe bell hav
ing entered above the nipple, and passed,
it is thought, through tbe lungs. Ha bled
prousely from the wound, and was well nigh
exhausted when the boat rsaohed the oi
ly. He wes Immediately taken to a hotel and
every attention given, though wa hear the
wound Is likely to prove fatal.
Tbe pueengvra all concur in placing tbe
wounded men in the wrong, and in juaiilyng
of act of Elliott; i ndeed, they say b§ had
borne with Staggers until all patienoe was ex
hausted, and bad tried in every way to avoid
him. 8tsggers, it is also due to say, had been
drinking freely from thotimohe went on boerd-
Upon reaching the eity, Mr. Elliott deliver,
ed himself ap to ths oivil authorities and sta
led the fsots; but as there was no appearance
against him, he was told to depart. lie Is en
route to Montgomary, to aocept a position in
the army—Jot. Republican.
