DREADFUL TRAGEDY.
4 Young Man Accidentally
 Shoots His Friend.

Crazed by Remorse He Places Pistol to His Head and Ends His Own Life Hope For the Recovery ot the
 Injured Man Is Entertained.

ToNBs RIVER, N. J.. Nov. 27-Barne- gat park, the fashionable winter resort in the Jersey pines of the army and navy officers and their families, was the scene Friday of an unfortunate tragedy Chouteau Larned, aged 19, and Harry Kittridge, aged 91, members of we'll known and wealthy families, were the victims. Young Larned acci- dentally shet Kittridge and subse- quently killed himself. Kittridge will recover. probably, 6 fact which renders the suicide of Larned all the more la- mentable. The young suicide was the son of Mrs. r S. Larned, widow who owns and occupies q large cottage at the park. Her husband was the late General P. s. Larnad, a paymaster in the United States army. The two boys were very warm friends. They had planned to go on g shooting excursion on Barnegat bay and accordingly be- gan making the necessary prepara- tions.
 Young Larned cleaned 2 breech1oad- ing shotgun and then took up 32- cali Der revolver. He was examining this when it went off, the ball lodging in Kittridge's lungs. The wounded man groaned and fell to the floor uncon- sci0us. For 8 moment Larned was dazed and stood rooted to the spot 1t was not until his mother and other members of the household, attracted by the noise rushed into the room that he awakened from his stupor. His grief then when he realized the full extent of the mischief, was pitiable. He ran from room to room, sobbing and tear ing his hair and wishing himself dead. Finally he bolted out Of doors in driv- ing rainst0rm and took to the woods without either coat or hat.
 A party at once began 10 hunt for the crazed man, but his whereabouts could not be found The next morning at s o'clock he returned to the family resi- dence, rang the door bell and sent bullet into his temple which ended his life. The young man was hatless, coatless and vet to the skin, and lay stretched across the threshold, dead,
 The cottasers carried the hfeless body of the young man into the parlor and soaJ for a physician There was no oneed of his services. The face of young Larne3 plainly showed the men, tai distress and grief he had suffered. Kittridge still lies unconscious i'll ono of the bedrooms of the Larned cottage. His condition is critical. bat Dr. Shure- man thinks he will recover
