John Cunningham Fatally
shot Last Night by Jack
Winters.


Between eight aud nine o'clock last
night an ARRAY, which will doubtless
prove fatal to one Of the parties con.
cerned, occurred near the corner Of Main
and jackson streets. The circumstances,
as derived from several sources, appear
to be as follows;
Two or three evenings since, an alter.
cation between Jack Winters and John
Coolighan resulted in the latter striking
the former, who was unarmed, in the face.
Since that time il has been understood
that when the parties again met, the
trouble would be revived.
Last night Winters entered the saloon
where Coolighan is barkeeper Cooli-
ghan,a young man named John Cunning.
ham, and one or two others, were seated
inside. After remaining inside minute
or two, Winters returned toward the door,
but facing the other way.
We understand that he left the saloon,
and that about the time Coolighan ran
outside and around the corner Of the
building, Winters fred, but the ball
missed. ~
Just then John Cunningham came
outside the door Suddenly Winters
fred again, and Cunningham fell, pierced
in the left breast by ball. Winters
soon afterward left, in company with a
young man named P. Dolan-a guard at
the Jail. Later in the evening Winters
was arrested in Madam Vincents saloon,
on the corner Of Front and Washington
streets. He offered no resistance. Do
Ian was also locked up, it being under
stood that he accompanied Winters to
the scene of the ARRAY.
Cunningham injuries are believed to
be mortal, although he was alive this
forenoon. He is young man, and for
some time has been in the employ of the
city. Only Tuesday week he was mar
ried.
Winters, it will be remembered, was
arrested charged with killing Mike Con-
nell, a. the corner of Main and Washing
ton streets, few weeks ago. He is now
under bonds. We learn that he and
Cunningham were not even acquaint-
ances. He asserts that he had no inten.
ton of shooting Cunningham, who had
not offended him, even indirectly.

Citizeus' Meeting.

A large number of the first citizens of
Memphis met yesterday afternoon in
Exchange Building, to take into consid-
Grafton the present condition Of the whole
people of Tennessee, and to counsel to-
getber as to what measures were neces-
sary to be taken in order to lift from our
shoulders the present African Incubus,
which is grinding us on the neither mill
stone. The idea of the meeting also en-
braced within its scope the removal of
the commercial and social evils with
which we are at present environed, and
placing our State Government under the
control of white men,.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. W. l.. Stewart, who moved that Mr..
John T. Trezevant take the chair. The
motion was put and carried, and on fur
Their motion j. M. Heating was appointed
Secretary.
Mr.. Trezevant, on taking the chair,
thanked the people for the honor they
had conferred upon him, and said that it
was the first act in the direction of poll
tics which he had taken for FIVE years.
1t was white mans movement against
our present negro domination, and he
was with it heart and soul. He wanted
to see the time when white Americans
should rule white America. Heregarded
the object Of this meeting as of an i'm
portance greater than that of any meet
lug ever convened in Memphis, and
hoped it might be the initiative of good
and great results.
On motion, committee of five on
resolutions was appointed, consisting of
Messrs. John Donovan, R. f. Looney,
f. A. Tyler, r. d. Baugh and Attorney
General Wallace.
AS soon as appointed, this committee
retired, and Colonel G. S. Cameron was
called upon for @ speech, but he declined
to make any remarks until the committee
reported.
After some time the com mittee, through
their chairman, reported progress, and
suggested an adjournment until Satur-
day evening next, at seven and half
o'clock, when it is to be hoped that the
white men of Memphis will be in attend
ance, and make the initial movement to
strike from their limbs the shackles which
at present bind them.
