The Fauquier Tragedy.

Correspondence of the Baltimore sun
WARRENTO%, Fauqucr county, \ a., Aug n
1873 The death Of Alfred Marin FROM 4 pis-
tol shot wound, near MelroSe station, IN this
county, on Wednesday night last, and the ar
rest Of Charles Mcl}Ialr in correction with the
case has naturally caused much comment. The
fact that this young man was alone 10 company
with Martn at the time OF the occurrence tUruI>
the foundation pretty much of all hat can be
brought against him. Adjutant General Nc
Blair, of Maryland, his father, has arrived here
and visited him at the Jail and fully. satisfied
himself as to the ueritS Of the case The fol-
lowing is substantially the statement OF young
McBlair himself, under oath:
On Wednesday night, the 10Th Of August,
both himself (McBIarJ aud Alfred Martin were
drunk They started at some uncertain hour
of the night FROM Mrlrose station for home. IN
McBlar's wagon. On their way, about mile
or 80 from the station, McBlair commenced
swapping pistol. He snapped every barrel,
o. yearly all, FIVE in number, it being a re-
vo!ver The pistol had got Wet. lie thcu IN
q spirit Of bravado snapped it twice at his owu
head, whcD Martin exclaimed with an oath
that if the pistol would not shoot him (Nlcl' air.
it would not shoot himself, and if McBair
would give him drink he (Martnl would snap
it at his own head. McBiair handed him the
pistol when moment after Que Ut his horses
started aud The pistol EXPLODED. the ball passing
through he man brain. McBlair exclaimed
instantly, My God Alfred F., are you hurt
Martin threw up his hands and fell to the
ground dead. 1t was dark night. McBlalr
went Immediately for assistance, but 10 trylag
to reach neighbours house took wrong dir
rcction, finally lost his way in the woods, and
found himself near his own house. Here he
stopped moment, communicated tine accident
to his wife and proceeded to the neighbor',
not far off, whom be was first seeking He got
assistance, lifted the body in the wagon ana
carried it home. He remained with it ali the
next day, and waited for the corooers inquest.
\ man of the same name as the deceased
(llurtin) swore before the coroner Jury that
he had heard angry words, and especially Now
| have got you. followed by the sound Ola
pistol He said he was returning from
neighbor'S at the time. McBlair states that
this man is u bitter enemy Of his, with whom
he had a fight last election day, and thar he
thinks he can prove this man let all next day
aud up to the Inquest pass without mentioning
that circumstance, and it is particularly re-
ma.kable that he never went near when he
heard the words and the pistol shot. This
statement McBiair has made under oath before
the Judge Of the Circuit Court.

consequent Indicate the Innocence Of the prlS-
Ouer.

The Pennsylvania railroad has acquired

of the railroad between Washington aud Alex
andra aud the Long bridge across the poto-
mac.
"Ihc new airline between New York and
New Orleans will, when the proposed arrauge-
ments are completed under the auspices OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, add much to
the prosperity Of the national capital The en-
tire road from New York to New Orleans will
be equipped in the most superior style, iusur-
ing speed, comfort, and safety.
We quote these paragraphs as specimens OF
items pertaining to the progress of the great
PENNSYLVANIA corporation which continually ar.
rest our attention in the daily papers And
while the Pennsylvania road is walking over
the Baltimore and Ohio and taking its business
out of its hands, the Chesapeak and Ohio road
is walking around it, and damaging its future
prospects in the most decisive way. Tue

raugcmcnts with the Old Dominion Steamship

The Huntington Argus of August ID says
the unexpectedly large and increasing
freight business which has been thrown upon
the G. l. y. railway since its opening has rem.
dcred it necessary for the company to increase
its rolling stock forthwith. Two hundred nc"
freight cars are to be delivered at this point
alone during this month, and not less than the
same number for three months to come. Four
teen pew locomotives have been purchased Tor
the road to be delivered Immediately; Cln-

gnecr OF the C. 4 o. extension to Chicago
has been surveying the proposed shortening be-
tween Clifton Forge and Richmond, along the
valley OF the James, aud that be reports that
the ruling grade between these points Is only
twenty nlnc feet to the mile, while by the pre-.
sent line of the road it is seventy-tour feet, and
by the B. & O. it is one hundred and six As
