Airy on Sunday Cfcarles Fry, a young cIgarmakerVabouti22if years of age, with some other young men went out to the home of Charles Adkins, an other clgarmaker, who . lives with his father in the suburbs. "' They were inside the house gambling about 3 p. in., and got into a -difficulty. It Is said that Adkins drew 4a" pistol but in the scuffle Fry took it away from him. They were senarated and Atkins went out on the piazza and sat down. 'Fry went out where he was with the pistol in his band," placed the muzzle of ' it in At- kin's face and 'shot him through the forehead, killing him instantly. Fry then went up town to his home near the Blue Ridge Inn, i ind told his father and brother, what- hi had "done They told him to skip and as he was drink ing they went With him out of town to a piece of wood neail $he cemetery. Be fore leavingJAdklns Wfcnf. inter a bary room and bought a pint of whiskey. In the meatlme the sheriff was noti fied of the murder and he organized a posse and went in pursuit of Pry. The posse discovered the three men in the thicket and closed in oh them, but they were misled by Fry's father and broth er who ran and wer followed by the men. It seems that the murderer had gpne into a house, and when William Goings, pne pf the posse, was approach ing it he jumped put of a window. Go ings ran up and grappled him and though he was considerably under the influence of whiskey, he got the best of Goings, being the stronger of the two. As soon as he freed himself he drew his pistol and tried to shoot" Goings but it snapped and failed to go off. At the same time Goings r?w. nis pistol and shot Fry through the fiesfa'y part of fhe leg. Both men then fired at each Qfey but missed. Both fired' about the same Ltim again but Fry missed his man. The ball from Going's pistol, however, struck ' the murdeer under the right stooujSer, passed through his body and Came out on the other side near his heart. Be felt and died instantly. The last tragedy occurred about 7 p. m. . The. double killing naturally created quite a sensation in Mt. Airy. Goings and the father of young Adkins, the man who was murdered by Fry, mar ried sisters. Fry is said to have been -a. young man of very desperate charac ter. Adkins, the man ;he killed, was a drinking man but it is said was not troublesome or quarrelsome. Neither of the men killed were married. They were both drinking when then ght oe-. currd at Adkins house. 1 CUT HIS OWN THROAT. Engineer Zack Kettles, Demented, Kills Himself In Florence He Used a Carving Ktilfe to End his Life. Yesterday's Columbia tate contains the following painful inteligence: "A blow on the temple from a rock about a month ago unsettled Engineer Z. W. Nettles' mind to such an extent that yesterday at 6 o'clock p. m., in Florence, he took his own life by cut ting his throat wvith a carving knife, from ear to ear. A month ago he was as usual bringing his train into Colum bia from Wilmington when, between Sparrow Swamp and Timmonsville, a rock was hurled with great force into the engine cab. It struck Engineer Nettles on the temple and made, such a bad wound that the train was stopped and his head dressed. Resuming: his position at the throttle he brought the fast passenger train into the city on time. The wound was dressed and he given permission to "lay off" for a few days. That was the last time he ever pulled open a throttle. "Externally the blow appeared to have done little harm, but during the few days "lay off" his friends noticed that he was affected mentally. They cautioned Mrs. Netlle to keep an eye on her husband, which she did with a wife's devotion. Yesterday about f o'clock Engineer Nettles casually re marked that he was going to step out for a few minutes. He did so, and un percelved by ny one carried with him a carving knife. "Time passed by and his wife went to look for him. She found him in an out house in rear of the dwelling. His throat was cut, and lying at his feet was the implement of death all cov ered with blood. "The blow over the eye had demented the engineer and he had taken his own lite. The apparently harmless wound had caused his death and the coward who maliciously caused it is unknown. "Engineer Nettles was one of the old est men In experience on the Coast Line. He had one of the best runs over the entire system and never fail ed to bring his train in on time. The very blow that caused his death did not keep him froml coming In on time. He leaves a widow! and two children." Mr. Nettles was well known and highly esteemed among railroad men and . numerous acquaintances in Wil mington and the news of the tragedy' has been a great shock to them. He was a brother of Mrs. W.V.F. Corbett, of our city, and sincere sympathy is felt for her and the family of the de ceased. A Trne Representative. The Messenger is pleased to publish the following from The Gainesville (Fla.) Sun f concening a former Wil mingtonian; "Senator ,Tarby, of Putnam county, is one of the best representatives at Tal lahassee. While personally differing with the democratic party on the finan cial question, he baa repeatedly stated that he knew his constituents favored the free coinage of silver and he1 would do all in his power for the election of a senator holding views contrary to his own". He hae kept his word in every instance, and the people are largely indebted to him for the satisfactory termination of the senatorial contest. He was always on the alert an4 never failed to observe a weak point for a favorable attack upon the opposition. The people will not soon forget Ms valuable services in the recent sena torial campaign." The- above shows that Senator Darby has a high conception of his duties as a representative. He is a strong sound money man. but he ' .was not in the legislature representing himself, and the stand he has taken shows his fidelity to his constituents.

IT. St T T Wilmington, N. C, May 24; Messrs. Jackson & Bell, CItys uentiemeii: 1 resrei verjr uiuvu w see from ytVur yesterday's mammoth Is-. sue, that our proposed change of sched ule in passengeir trains, did not meet with your approbation, but when you are acquainted with the advantages in cidental to such a change, I am satis fied you will view the matter in a dif ferent light. I admit that it does put your paper a little late In the hands of your subscribers along the line of our road, which fact Is to be regretted, but with other advantages, which are here in given, you will readily see the im portance of the change, as it will af ford our people an opportunity of reaching the mountains of western North Carolina in very short time, as well as visitors to the seashore from the mountains or nearer points. Under the proposed change, parties leaving Wilmington at 12:15 p. m., reach Statesville, N. C, at 8:40 p. m.; Newton, N. C, at 9:15 p. m.; Hickory 9:30 p. m., Connelly Springs 9:45 p. m., Morganton 10:02 p. m., Marion 10:35 p. m., Old Fort 10:53 p. m., Black Moun- tain 11:37 p. m., Asheville 12; 12 a, m., Hot Springs 1:29 a, m., Morristown, Tenn., 3:00 a. m.j Knoxville, Tenn., 4:05 a. m.; Chattanooga, Tenn., 7:40 a, m..j JSTashyllle, Tenn., 1:50 p. rn. You will note that time consumed be tween Wilmington and Nashville, Tenn., 'will consume jj, little over twenty-four hours, while to western North Carolina points twelve hours and less. On the ether hand, parties can leave Mt. Airy, Greensboro and other points in the morning and go right through to the seashore. Above figures are simply given for your information, in order that you may see there was no disposition on the part of our management to work to the detriment of any one, but on the contrary to give everybody an oppor-; tunity to visit our mountains and sea shore consuming as little time as pos sible en roulfe, Trusting the above explanation will be satisfactory, I remain Very truly yours, THOMAS C. JAMES. In reply to Captain James' card we would say that The Messenger only ex pressed regrets that the proposed change of schedule would "deprive a great many of its subscriber? from rer eeiving tfaeir favorite paper until a very late hour in the day," and not for the purpose of finding fault with its friends of "the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley. The Messenger will admit that the reasons for - the change proposed, as presented by Captain James, may be very good for the road and its patrons, as It enables them to reach other points 1 much quicker than they have hereto fore done, but it does not alter the ease as far as the" newspaper is concerned. On that score, however", we have no quarrel to make, only we would like, if it could be go, that our friends could have put on an earlier train instead of a later one, since that would baye been much better for The Messenger. A glance at the schedules of the sevr eral railroads in force now, along with the change proposed by the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley railway, will show the following facts: On the Atlantic Coast Line, the first train to leave Wilmington for the north is at 9 a. m.f and the first to arrive from the north is at 9:40 a. m. The first train to leave for the south is at 3:25 p. m., and the first to arrive from that' direction is at 12:15 p. m. . On the Seaboard Air Line, the first train to leave Wilmington is at 3;20 p, m., and the first" to arrive is aj 12:30 p. .m On the Wilmington, New Bern and Norfolk railway the first train to leave Wilmington is at 2 p. m., and the first to arrive is atl2:40 p. m, Oa the Cape Fear and Yadkin VaU ley railway the first train to leave Wil mington is at 12:15 p, m., and the first to arrive is at 4:30 p.m. The Messenger has a large patronage on the roads named, and it strives at all times, in season and out of season, to serve them faithfully and wejl, but it is poor encouragement for us, after toling hard all night, that our papers should remain here in the postoffice several hours after papers of the same date, hauled hundreds of miles from Wilmington, are received here. Take the case of the Charleston and Columbia papers. They arrive here at 12:15 p. m, The Messenger leaves on the 3:25. m.," train. The same thing is the case pn the Seaboard Air Line, The Chaj-lotjte papers reach here at 12:30 p. iri, and The Messenger remains dead in the postoffice until. 3:20 p. m.. On the Wilmington, New Bern and Norfolk railway the New Bern papers reach here at 12:40 while The Messen ger leaves at 2 p.m. In face of these facts, if The Messen ger was not the paper it is and did not have the friends It has. it would not have a subscriber on the roads named, If the schedules . were depended on for it.

The committee returned by way o Chattanooga and stopped over eight hours visiting the battlefields of Chica mauga and Lookout Mountain. A NASHVILLE ACCOUNT. The Nashville Sun of May 21st con tained the following account of the affair" Wilmington day has passed, but it will be many years before any of the pErrticipants in the reception, banquets, dinners and sight-seeing of yesterday will cease to remember the event. The' plucky city of Wilmington was the'first to inaugurate the city days, and to her and her able coadjutors, the officers of the Seaboard Air Line, unqualified praise Is due. Never was a more de lightful day ever spent than the hours that passed rapidly away around the banquet board in he mammoth car. Good fellowship was in the very at mosphere, and the -wants of every ono met instant attention. "The Ohio visitors mingled with their North Carolina brethren, and every where on the grounds could be seen the blue ajid red badges of the visitors. "Taken" aU n al. Wilmington day was a glorious suct-ess, and the Ohio and North Carolina delegations will leave Nashville withthe good will and admiration of all who attended yester day's celebration. "At 8:30 p. m. a fish dinner was spread in the car, and a feast of fish chpwder, sole, rock, bass and other spe cies of th finny tribe that tempt the gourmand's heart was heartily enjoyed. DAY AT THE BIG CAR. The reception in the big car of the .Seaboard Air Xine, given by that rail road and representatives of the city of Wilmington, N. O,, yesterday morn ing was a delightful success in every particular, and to ail the meeting will be a pleasant reminder of Wilmington day at the Tennessee centennial. Long before the appointed faours visitors ar rived to pay their respects to the house on wheels. "The committee appointed by the chamber of commerce of Wilmington to entertain carried out their duties to perfection. The following gentlemen composed the committee: C. E.' Borden, chalrmae; J, H, Watters, Colonel W. C. Jones, Marcus 'Jaeooi, H, C McQueen, D. L. Gore, E. P. Bailey, R1. N. Sweet. James H. Chadbourn, Jr.. and J. M. Stevenson. Misses McQueen, Mabel Green, Sarah Kenan. 'Mrs. Chadbourn, Miss Eva Ellis Chadbourn and Mrs. Smallwood, who accomapnied the com mittee, assisted in entertaining, adding grace and beauty to the occasion. . "The5gentlemen in charge were Messrs. D. S. Clark; who has charge of ifce exhibit; J. T. Patrick, chief indus trial agent of the Seaboard, and Thomas D. Meares, general agent " of f lie 'Sea board at Wilmington, ' "Yesterday was the first 'cHy' day, and Wilmington enjoyed first honors, and at intervals during the exposition various cities along the Seaboard Air Line will each in its turn be repre sented. - ; "Fischer's Centennial Band furnished music during the luncheon. "While a large number of -visitors were present from North Carolina, that state was apt ft?ne, for Ohio was rep resented by several of her roost dis tinguished editors, who are in'the city as members of the Hocking and Ohio Valley Editorial Association. , "By 10:30 o'clock a large number were present, evry seat In the capacious building-being occupied. Mr. Herman Jusfi in af ew felicitous words wel comed the viators. He introduced to the audience J. J. McCann, who spoke briefly about his favorite state, Ten nessee. - - "Mr. John J. McCann, the 'Lanra " ( ' Miller,' thn cam forward tvod 4t UvereU one of hit characteriU t&lfcs, which kept the crowd amused and de Ughted Irom the beginnig to the last word. He said he congratulated North. Carolina, especially since he himself, was a lineal descendant of the Old North State. He was, he said, also a first class Ohio man, because that state was the land of beer. He then spoke warmly of Tennessee and her glorious past. In conclusion, he saldr " 'We are all one people, for we are all made of the same dirt. There is no exception, save in the case of my wife, I believe God put a whole hogshead of sugar in her. I love you all, whether from North Carolina, or Ohio, and I feel like I could hug you all, except the ladies. (Laugther.) " 'We are proud of this show. I feel patriotic, for I love every foot of ter ritory in this whole union, this " 'Union of lakes and union of lands, A union that none can sever; A union of hearts and a. union of hands. And our glorious union forever.' ; " I love the grand old flag of our country, and if anybody here don't ap preciate it he is unworthy the name of an American citizen. God bless you all.. "Mr. Justi said it gave him great pleasure now to call upon North Car olina for a response, and introduced lr i J: ; MR. C. E. BORDEN. "Mr. Borden said he was not gifted like his eloquent predecessor. I'll only say, like the governor of North, Car olina said to the governor of South Carolina, 'It's a long time between scuppernongs.' We have a god bit of God s country over in North Carolina. Those who have never traveled much don t know of our great state. Trav eling is a great educator. A man sees new things and grasps new ideas abroad and gets to learn about the country only by traveling. I am glad to see you all here, and would be proud to see you all down our way. Wa have the bluest of skies and fine sum mer resorts. It is also a great 'truck ing country. We ship strawberries everywhere, and our garden, products seek every clime. I shall only say in eonclusion, again we are glad to see you all and hope to have you with us some time in the Old North State.' v . "At the conclusion of Mr. Borden's remarks Mr. Justi said It was now time to hear from Ohio, and toe would call upon one whom he had heard was hiding around here,- an eloquent gentleman from the Buckeye state. He introduced MR.McMILX.AN. The Ohio orator Said the Macs seemed to be in evidence here, and he proceeded ro pay Mr. John J. McCann a glowing compliment. He said Ohio had nothing to fear from any State in the Union, from Maine to California. On the field of battle or in politics and statemanship she had nothing to fear. Her men' are illustrious and her women bright and smart. I Inherited my polit ical ideas from the grand old man of the Hermitage of Tennessee, Andrew Jackson, and I never have had cause to regret the leadership of that illus trious man. There is no state superior to Ohio, but I concede everything to Tennessee and North Carolina. Ohio has been compelled to honor the sons of North Carolina. "(He then complimented the Tennesr see centennial exposition, and hoped all would enjoy their trip to Nashville, as himself, "Throughout the speeches there was a vein of appreciation of the fact that the two once distant sections of the union were agreeably united now under one flag, one cause and one aim. "The viands which heaped the table, in the center of the building were then, served 'in courses, and was a most en joyable repast. The uelicaciea and sub statials were principally from Wilming ton end, its adjacent territory.
