The tragedy, which has stirred the (own as nothing else in its recent his tcTV, was enacted on the front peh of J. X. Roueche, editor of the 'Sal isbury Post, and an uncle of the dead friil. Miss Ilortense Iloueehe and a friend, Charles Gable, had just left Miss Burnadetto and Chunn on the Nirch to step around to the iwell to pet a drink of water before going home. When they hurried back to find the cause of a pistol shot they found the happy sister of only a (mo ment before lying prostrate, . with Oliunn ordering them track at the i point of a pistol. Before their eyes he turned the gun on himself and end ed a tragedy, the news of which a a 'minute' later was flying over the city like wildfire. Chunn and Miss Roueche bad been -sweethearts for years and about six months ago Miss . Houeche rejected a proposal to marry. Chunn discontinu ed his attentions for a time, but re cently friends had noticed a renewal of the old courtship. To friends Miiss Roueche declared that she and Chunn were merely good friends, that she liked him. but not 4he right sort ,aq way to marry mm. one connaea 10 her sister, however, that Chunn 'had told her that if she didn't marry him lie would kill her. Neither, of the young women considered the threat seriously, especially so since there had been nothing unusual about the de meanor of Chunn during the past few days. -This afternoon Chunn made an en gagement for himself and Gable to take the young ladies to church. The supposition is once alone he made a second proposal and that when re jected he fired. Neither Mr. Gable or Miss Hortenso Roueche had noticed anything unusual in the -conduct of the young men. during the evening. In fact, he appeared in good spirits, and was laughing when the sister stepped off the porch to-get a drink of water. .. Miss Roueche was 19 wears of age and was a istenographer for the Salis bury Realty and Insurance company. She was a voung woman of more than ordinary beauty, talented and gener ally admired for her lovable disposi tion and .charming personality. Frank C. Chunn, - too, was well known and mnrmlar. '. 'He was. 23 - A JT years of acre and a isoa. of Mrs. Flor- inca Chunn, of Asheville, and nephew of Misses Sallie and Maggie Chunn, of this city. For several years he had been working as a boilermaker at the Spencer shops. He was well known to practically everybody in the city and moved in the best circles. Great Interest in Movement to Es tablish Reformatory for ! Colored Youths. The court house was crowded yes terday afternoon at a mass meeting of the colored peoplejof the city in the interest of a cdlored reform school. Every availableSeat was tak en and great interest was manifested in the movement for the establish ment of a colored reformatory for the wayward colored youths of the tftate. j Rev. C. H. Watson, a colored min ister of Charlotte, was the principal speaker of the occasion. He spoke at length on the efforts of the colored people of North Carolina to secure an institution similar to the Jackson Training School. He also spoke of the number of colored youths who were caught in the toils of the law for committing offenses for which they were not responsible on account of their youth, liie speaker made a most striking point when he told of how the police of Charlotte turned mp 1 pons was in in IN BIG GAME OF BALL WITH HIGH POINT TEAM.

The. game was pulled off on the new diamond. A new fence has been to the penitentiary and" would 'be erected, thV grandstand is being en forced to serve their sentences among" hardened criminals. The colored- people hare 'already" secured a location in Mecklenburg county . for the institution- and - are now making an effort to secure funds for the 'purpose of erecting, suitable buildings. The speaker said that he hoped to raise $800; : in Concord by having 800 people give $1 each. Mayor C. B. Wagoner was present and invited to address the audience. Mr. Wagoner spoke only a short time but his remarks were straight to the point. JJe told the colored people that they had already made greater pro gress with their work than the wThite people, as the movement was agitated in 1 the State for years before the Jackson Training School was a real ity. He endorsed the undertaking in a most earnest manner and assured the men behind the movement of his support. Mr. A. R. Howard, who accompan ied Mr- Wagoner to ' the meeting, was cane a. upon, . uuraxxowara responueu In . a short but interesting way. Mr. Howard complimented the colored race upon manifesting an interest; iisp saving their wayward sons and point ed out in a most interesting and con vincing way the possibilities of a life, even though wayward at times, if brought under the proper influences and environment. ' Leader Watson then asked for con tributions and the audience respond ed liberally. He started on a canvass among the business Men this morning and will continue the work here for several days.

One of the im provements, which will prove quite convenient to. the public, is that the fence will be moved back quite a dist ance in the rear of "the grandstand and along the right field foul line in order to allow room for buggies and automobiles. But coming back to the opening game. It wras an auspicious opening of the association at Kannapolis. The crowd was there, the band was there and enthusiasm was at such a pitch that it was only satiated by a well earned 3 to 2 victory. But all these things fade into insignificance com pared with the one outstanding fea ture of the afternoon. It came when Mr. J. W. Cannon es sayed to the box to pitch the first, ball.

' 1 Mr. Editor : The writer is in no way interested in the street car sys tem oi our city but as a citizen be desires to protest aaginst the many adverse criticisms tljat your paper is making against the system here. It seems to me that the company is do ing its level best to push to perfec tion a splendid line, but it requires time and patience to do this. They are working day and night putting in the best and latest models of rails, cars, etc., and we should be liberal in our criticisms until they can get the line propertly installed. It is more to their interest than any one else's to'. perfect a schedule and a trackage that will meet the demands of all our people and naturally they will do this as soon as possible. Let us encour age these people in their efforts, give them a square deal. This is a big un dertaking that will add geratly to our city in a thousand ways and sure ly such severe criticisms at this stage is uncalled for and unjust.

He appeared as unperturbed as if he was sitting in his office directing the affairs of his gigantic textile enterprises. He calm ly tossed a big Havana away as Um pire Bell handed him a bright new ball and toed the plate. Then the rooters broke loose: "Oh, you, Ma theson!" "Come on Marquard!" ''Come on, bend it across !' V " Shoot him a spitter ! " 1 Let go a fadea way!" "Wrap around his neck!" " Come, you 've got him guessing ! ' ' 'Let her go he can't touch it!" Were among the friendly admonitions hurl ed toward Mr. Cannon from the crowd. Still he remained calm. Tak ing a more secure toe hold on the slab, he wound up. And what a delivery it was ! It was there with all the big league trimmings. He let it go with a quick, twirling wind up that would put an Ingerscll watch to shame Straight toward the base it sped. Groom struck and missed. "Strike one," shouted the umpire, and Mr Cannon walked to the grandstand amid tumultuous applause. The band struck a lively air and the game was on. Willett was on the mound for Kan napolis and performed in clever style during the four innings he officiated. He was relieved by Anderson at the beginning of the fifth, who held the High Pointers scoreless to the end. Craven, a portsider. occupied the mound for the visitors and twirled gilt-edge ball. Anderson, however, had a shade on the three. The lanky southpaw pitch ed shut-out ball, pulling his team out of a hole on several occasions. His greatest feat came in the eighth-when, with second and third occupied, arid no one out he caused one to pop to Kirk and whiffed two.

The plaintiffs, in addi tion to tneir prayer tor an injunc tion, asked that a receiver be ap pointed to collect the assets of the company, when the order is heard next week, and provide for a distrib ution of its assets among the equita ble owners, including the plaitiffs, Gonzales and Hemphill. Many sensational charges of efforts by the defendants to oust the plain tiffs of their rights in the publication, with the details as to how they were finally "run but anf any participation in profit or honor," are included in the complaint. Besides pecuniary loss the plaintiffs alleged that the action of the defendants was a libel on their business integrity and ability, for which no relief could be given in dam ages. Bond in the sum of $1,000 was given to the plaintiffs on demand of the court to justify the restraining order in the suit in equity.
