Regarding warioui complaints at the serrlce now being giren by the Bell Telephone Co., In thia city, Mr. T. 8. McManua, the local muiinr. w last night and aaked about the trouble. "Juat at preaent," Mr. McManua said, "it ia beyond our power to remedy a defect that will be all right in a short time. Our lines alone manv itreeta parallel those of the electric lighting company, which have a rery high voltage-. 8ince Bept 80th. our wirea being of small voltage, have been sub jected t-y an extraordinary induction, cauaea by changing the arc lights from direct to an alternating circuit. Both the telephone wires and the electric light wires are now on grounded cir cuits. The chanein? of the livhta f mm direct to an alternating circuit causes so much Induction to the Bell wire, after the current for the liffhta has been turned on, that the noise of the phone line is so heavy that it is almost impossible to use the telephone with out the exercise of a great deal of pa tience, but if .you'll employ a little long-suffering patience, talk clearly and distincUy, you'll be able to get the connection and communicate with the number desired. "The management of our company has resorted to every means known to electrical science to relieve this heavy induction. I now have a letter from the Electrical Engineer of our company, stating that it will be im possible to relieve this noise until the system is changed from a grounded to a metallic circuit. All the material is now on the ground, " ready for work to commence, and I am look ing for the construction force to arrive any day and push the work to com - pletion. The underground system will be started first and then will follow the metallic system just as fast as' possible." Speaking of the long distance lines Mr. McManua said in all probability the connection will be made this week. So far, the lines have been con nected and stations cut in from Baleigh to Faison and from Wilmington to Wallace. A force of men ia at work at both ends of the wire completing the gap between those points. LOCAL DOTS. Marriage license was issued yes terday to four colored couplet. Bev. E. O.

An Appeal to Them by the Committee in Ctaarxe Pair Schedule on Suburban Car Line Band Rehearsal Other Notes of tbe Fair. To-night week will be Pythian Car nival eve and everywhere the spirit of joy and gladness will be abroad in the land. Old King Carnival is a merry, merry old soul and he rules with des potic sway. To him the keys of the city will be delivered on that eve and he will dispense during the following week rollicksome fun and wholesome amusement to our home folk and hun dreds of visitors with a lavish hand. There's no doubt about the crowd ac cording to reports from the advertising men and ail the "back numbers" will have to stand from under and see tbe souls of live mortals made proud from Monday morning until Saturday night. The Executive Committee and chair men of sub-committees have done their work well. The entire territory con tiguous to Wilmington has been well advertised and there is co doubt about the crowds. Upon the Front and Market street merchants the Carnival management desires to urge the importance and the "absolute necessity" of elaborately decorating their places of business and making the fair district as attractive as possible. The cost will be very little and the committee trusts that a mere suggestion will be sufficient to induce every merchant to comply with the re quest. The Decorating Committee asks that the work be commenced Mon day morning and kept up as rapidly as possible until every place of business shall be handsomely attired. The most encouraging reports have been received from throughout the country from all travelling men, from special representatives sent out from time to time, and from the conductors running out from Wilmington, and all are to the effect that the crowd will be with us, and this ia one of the main reasons why they urge you to decorate.

Homicide Occnrred Early in the Morning. Dead Man and His Slayer Are Both from Prominent Families In quest Held by Coroner. An atrocious murder was commit ted in Fayetteville at 1 o'clock yester day morning. Frenzied by drink, Ed ward L. Utley, a guest of the LaFay ette Hotel, walked down from his room at that uncanny hour and de liberately shot to death Night Clerk T. B. Hollingsworth, who was stand ing behind his desk in the office and who a short time before bad befriended the intoxicated young man by not having him arrested for unseemly conduct in the hotel. From yesterday afternoon's Fayette ville Observer the following facts of the tragedy are abridged: Earlier in tbe night joung Utley, wbo is well known here and who is from one of the best families in the State, walked into tbe LaFayette and fired his pistol in a random sort of way. The clerk sum moned Officer J. H. Benton, inform ing him of the young man's actions Mr. Benton asked if Mr. Hollings worth wanted Utley arrested and the reply was in the negative, as perhaps he would then be quiet. Shortly afterwards the fatal shots were fired, after which Utley turned and was as cending the stairway to his room when Officer Benton, who had again entered the hotel, covered him with his revol ver, and commanded him to come back. Mr. Utley then stepped down to the floor, gave up his pistol, and surrendered, and was taken to jail. Utley has been drinking hard for several days and was evidently under tbe influence of whiskey when he committed the terrible deed. . Very unfortunately, Mr. M. Mcl. Matthews, proprietor of the Hotel La Fayette, was spending the evening with a friend, and did not return un til after the deplorable tragedy had been enacted. Had he been present it might have been averted. Mr. Hollingsworth was unmarried, and the brother of Mr. J. W. Hollings worth, a leading citizen of Fayette ville. He was a man of quiet, in of fensiye manners, and unblemished character. He had been occupying the position of night clerk of the hotel for only a few weeks. The body was taken to tbe undertakers at once, and later was removed to the residence of Mr. B. G. Hollingsworth, a cousin of the deceased. The funeral : will be conducted from St. John's Episcopal church this afternoon. A coroner's jury composed of Messrs. Geo. A. Overbaugh, J. N. Prior, O. J. Cooper, J. V. McGougan. J. F. Harrison and Duncan Shaw was empanelled by Dr. Bose yesterday af ternoon and after a full investigation of the tragedy it rendered a verdict "That the deceased came to his death from a pistol shot wound fired by E. L. Utley." The witnesses examined were Simeon Council, the night porter, Policeman J. H. Benton, and Mr. J. H. Plum mer. Council was tbe only one pres ent at the time of the shooting, besides the principal?, but his testimony was somewhat confused. Officer Benton's testimony was in effect that he was at the depot and Messrs. T. B. and J. W. Hollingsworth came there and asked for him. The dead man said : "I want you to go to the hotel and stay around there and see if you can't quiet Mr. Utley." We got in-a hack and came down to the hotel. He (Mr. Theodore Hollingsworth) said Mr. Ut ley had shot at him. 1 asked: "Do you want me to arrest him!" And he said ; "No: just stay and keep him quiet." Mr. Hollingsworth came in and in a minute or two I followed him in. I met Mr. Plummer, Mr. Moore and Mr. McQueen. I talked to Mr. Plummer. I spoke to Mr. Utley and we went to the wash room. Mr. Utley and myself were talking and he went out in front. I said to Mr. Utley: "I want to go to tbe train. Now, you go to your room and go to bed." I started up the street and came back. I saw Mr. Hollings worth in the door of the hotel. He said Mr. Utley had gone on down the street I walked on down the street and met Mr. Utley and we walked down for a short way and he said he believed he would go back. I walked down, crossed over the street and came back in the street. When had got in front of the bank the shooting began and I saw some one running. I halted him. I went in the hotel and saw Mr. Utley going up the step. I halted him and he came back and handed me his pistol. He said: "All right." I took hold of him. We turned around and I saw Mr. Hollingsworth lying on the floor. I said: "Ed., you will have to go with me," and we went to the market house and I sent Mr. Martin to the hotel. Mr. Wicker went to the hotel, too. and came back and said Mr. Hol lingsworth was dead, so I carried Mr. Utley to jail. I saw some pistol firing from across the street. I did not know who was shooting. There were five or six shots fired. Mr. Utley said to me that Mr. Hollingworth had shot at him first. I did not see any pistol near Mr. Hollingsworth. Mr. Utley had the pistol in his hand when I took him. I examined Mr. Utley'a pistol in the presence of Dr. McGougan and Capt. Williams and found tbe pistol witn six empty Bneiis in it.

"A Wise Woman," a popular so ciety comedy, will be at the Academy Tuesday night. The company is a splendid one, and is on the order of "The Tyranny of Tears." Yesterday's Baleigh News and Observer says: "A Wise Woman" is a good show, and the troupe that presented it at the Academy of Music last night is a good troupe. There are only eleven mem bers of the troupe, including Master Clincher, the. ragbaby, who is father less and motherless until the last act, but the troupe as a whole might be termed the "Seven Stars" of the travel ing troupes that come this way. The plot is not pitched on a very high plane, and the delineation of character may be a little extravagant, but there is a suspicion of real life in it, and a zest and gayety about it that is fnnny enough and entertaining enough for a two hours' performance. Miss Gear, Miss Dale and Miss Lamour are all very clever and in the characters of wife, ward and racket, are seen to ad vantage, and Messrs. Furguson, Sat terlee and Willi?, as artist, friend and guardian, are all actors of some dis tinction." The advance sale of seats will open to-morrow morning at Plummer's. Minstrels Friday night. Next Fri day night Quinian & Well's Imper al Minstrels will be at the Academy and the engagement promises to be the minstrel event of the season. That this company is one of the largest and strongest on the road, one has only to read the many press notices to ba convinced. The Charlotte Observer gives its unqualified endorsement of them in tbe following language: "A large audience at the Academy of Music last night came to the con clusion that the show given by the Quinian & Wall Imperial Minstrels was the best minstrel performance ever seen in this city. "In upholding comedy, singing and dancing as the essentials of ministrel- sy the performers gave a far more en tertaining exhibition than the Al. G. Field's Minstrels. "The music and singing were tip top; the specialties, or novelties, were of a very clever, snappy order and the comedy in varied guises, was clean and fresb. Messrs. Quinian and Wall are playing for a reputation and they are making it wonderfully fast" Innes' Band This notable attrac tion comes to the Academy Saturday nigbt, November 8th. and will, no doubt, be greeted by a large audience. This will be the only attraction during Carnival week, as the management of tbe Academy arranged to transfer all other dates. This season the band is up to its usual high standBid. Mabel Paige The Southern favorite, Mabel Paige, will be at the Academy in an engagement for a week, com mencing Monday night, Nov. 10, and wili, as usual, prove very popular. HON.
