LIQUOR AND LOVE Dennis Niland Attempts to Murder His Sweetheart. HIS OFFERS OF MARRIAGE REJECTED Indulges in Drink and Again Asks For Her Hand. HELD FOR A HEARING Dennis Niland shot and slightly wounded Mrs. Margaret Feeney this morning a few minutes before 8 o'clock at the corner of 26th and K streets. The woman used her parasol in self-defense and cut Niland’s ear. A refusal on the part of the woman of Niland’s offer of marriage, it is said, caus- ed the shooting. Policemen Ricketts and Newton arrested Niland while the latter was on his way to the police station to give himself up. They met him at Washington Circle, with the pistol in his hand. He promptly turn- ed over the weapon to them and soon after- ward he found himself behind the bars charged with attempted murder. For- tunately for both the man and the woman the bullet inflicted only a flesh wound, the striking of a rib having changed the course of the leaden missile. While the man was being made a prisoner the woman was be- ing cased for by the police. She was first conveyed to Columbia Hospital and from there was taken in an ambulance to the Emergency Hospital. Drs. Junemann and Fife soon extracted the ball and the pa- tlent was discharged. From the hospital she was able to walk to her service place ‘ircle. ae Roland is a widower ftty-one years old, while Mrs. Feeney is a widow several years his junior. He has charge of the dis- posal of coke at the gas house, and boards with Mr. Cook at No. 1224 24th street. He has grown children. Mrs. Feeney has sev- eral small children, for whom she labors, and they live with her at No. 908 26th street northwest. After a year’s acquain- tance with the widow, it is said, Niland proposed marriage. The latter thought she had enough on her hands and frankly told him she could not take another to support. Persists in His Suit. Niland would not take “no” for an an- swer. He was evidently of the opinion that in such matters a woman does not always mean what she says. A notice to keep away from the house, it is said, had been obeyed by Dennis, but he met Mrs. Feeney on the street a number of times and never failed to renew his pro- posal. For about six or eight months Ni- land had abstained from the use of intox!- cants, but the trouble weighed heavily on his mind, and last night, it {s reported, he was seen in a bar room. ‘When he failed to appear at the gas house this morning hix fellow laborers suspected something wrong. “Is Dennis drinking again?” the men asked each other. “I saw him in a saloon last night,” one of them responded. “That settles it,” remarked another. “He will not be at work today.” A few minutes after the conversation had been engaged in by the workmen the report of a pistol shot was heard in the vicinity of 26th and K streets. Awaits Her at the Corner. Mrs. Feeney left h2r house on 26th street shortly after 7:30 o’clock and started for her service place. Niland knew where she worked, and he also knew the route usually taken by the one he loved. Instead of going:| to work he went to the corner where the shooting occurred and awaited her appear- ance. She reached there about the usual time, and Niland, whos: appearance indi- cated that he had been drinking something stronger than coffee, stopped her. The con- versation that took place between them is known only to themsalves. It is stated that he renewed his offer of marriage, which she rejected, and the shooting followed. Peter J. Mcintyre, in front of whose gro- cery store th2 affair happened, rushed to the sidewalk just in time to see the man pull the trigger a second time. This time, however, the weapon missed fire, and th3 grocer interposed and Legged the man to put his weapon away. “Don't shoot again,” he pleaded; “there are som2 innocent people in the store, and you may shoot one of them.” After the grocer had stood between Ni- land and the woman for ea short time Ni- land said “All right,” lowered his hand, and Walked off in the direction of the station house: An Excited Throng. Policeman Hanley of the third precinct arrived upon the scene in a few minutes. By this time there wasa large and excited crowd on the sidewalk, while a square away @ number of small boys were following Ni- land, who was carrying the pistol openly in his hand. To the officer the widow sald that Den- nis had shot her because she had refused to marry him. “He has been coming to see me for about a year,”’ she said, “and because I wouldn’t marry him he has been annoying me.” This morning, she said, he renewed the offer and shot her. She said she used her parasol in self-defense. Mrs. Feeney was of the opinion that her wound wag a serious one. until she reached the hospital. When she learned the con- trary, she was much elated, and neglected to go home and notify her children. Niland, too, was also deligt.ted when told by a Star reporter of the nature of the wound. “But,” he said to his son, who was standing near his cell door, “what’s the use of worrying? It’s done, and it can’t be helped.” The Prisoner's Statement. Niland told the reporter that he had been keeping company with the widow for about a year. | “We've been going buggy and carriage riding,” he said, “andynow she wants to get rid of me. He said she struck him with her parasol before he used his pistol. When arrested, he told the police that Mrs. Feeney wanted to get rid of him for another man.

THE LAMBS’ GAMBOL.—The ster gambol of the Lambs of New York given at the National Theater last night was one of the most remarkable performances of the kind ever given at the national capital. It was remarkable not only for the excellence of the performance, but also on account of the eminence of those who contributed their skill, the distinguished audience that was present and the notable effort that is being made by the Lambs to lift the debt on their club house in New York that prompted the affair. When it is realized that the com- pany was made of actors whose fame ex- tends not only in this country from Maine to California, but to the English stage as well, the fact that the theater was packed from the gallery to the orchestra with such @ representative audience as only Washing- ton can turn out on extra occasions such as this one should excite no wonder. The spectacle of Stuart Robson, Wiilie Collier, Ignacio Martinetti, Nat Goodwin, Jeff de Angelis and H. C. Barnabee doing duty as the end men of a minstrel aggregation, with DeWolf Hopper as the middie man, and with such men as W. H. MacDonald, Eugene Cowles, Van Renssaeler Wheeler, Edmund Stanley, William Philip, Digby Bell, Chauncey Olcott and Edward E. Kid- der in the line, to say nothing of Victor Herbert's splendid band, led by such _mu- siclans as Victor Herbert himself, Jesse Williams, S. L. Studley, Victor Harris and J. S. Hiller, to set off the efforts of these stars, is to be seen but once in a lifetime, and the show put up by them fully merited the unprecedented attendance. The sum total raised by the performance was $5,264, the proceeds exceeding the amounts raised in Boston, Brooklyn and_ Baltimore, the only city going ahead of Washington being Philadelphia, which was, of course, to be expected with its theater of much greater seating capacity. As a fashionaple audience in this city is always late in arrivi: and no such aggre- gation would want to “ring up’ to a sparse- ly filled house, it was 8:80 o'clock before the preliminary rattle of the bones sent the curtain up, and two lines of black-face minstrels were shown, with Stewart Rob- son, Ignacio Martinetti apd Willie Collier on the bone end, while Nat Goodwin, Jeff De Angelis and Henry Clay Barnabee, with tambourines, were disclosed. De Wolf Hop- per,the elongated and gymnastic comedian, occupied the position of interlocutor, and with his remark “Be seated, gentlemen,” the overture, by Victor Herbert's celebrat- ed band, which formed the background of the picture, began. The minstrel part of the program included songs, by Wm. Philp, Chauncey Olcott, Eugene Cowles, Stewart Robson, Nat Goodwin; incidental solos, by ‘W. H. MacDonald, Van Rensselaer Wheel- er, Edmund Stanley, Digby Bell and De Wolf Hopper, and “Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming,” by a triple quartet. The songs were of the old-time type and brought back memories of the early days of minstreley, only they were better sung than any of the old-timers present had heard them. The band, of course, fur- nished a splendid accompaniment, and it was led at different times by Messrs. Her- bert, Jesse Williams, Sam L. Studley, Victor Harris and J. 8. Hiller. The stories and jokes by the end men, as well as their comic songs, were not, how- ever, of ancient vintage, but were thor- ovghly up-to-date, and provoked the most hilarious merriment among the audience. There were some personal allusions, but not so many as was expected. Goodwin's stcry of his trip on Crane's yacht wound up with his giving imitations of the way a song was rung by Sir Henry Irving, Joe Jefferson, Crane and Robsen and each imi- tation was as accurate as Goodwin could make it. Robson also told some good stories and sang a rattling comic song, and in the finale there was some quaint danc- ing by Barnabee, De Angelis, Collier and Martinetti. The olio commenced with “The Lambs’ Big Four’—De Angelis, Collier, Chas. H. Hepper and Fritz Willlams—in “Ma Onliest Girl,”" which proved to be an ordinary negro sketch, although’ it was very well done, and then followed a burlesque of Belasco’s “Heart of Maryland,” with De Wolf Hop- per as the emotional heroine, and his tra- vesty on Mrs. Leslie Carter's red_ hair, with an electric attashment was extreme- ly funny. The others in the cast were Crane as Gen. Kendrick, MacDonald as Al- lan Kendrick, Digby Bell as the Sergeant and Walter Hale as Bludso. All entered into the spirit of the burlesque, which made a decided Lit. Perhaps the most artistic work of the evening was the pantomimic sketch by Joseph Holland and Fritz Wil- lams, which was entitled, “L’Affaire d'une Melodie,” the amusing feature being the way in which each whistled the air from “Massaniello,”” which caused the duel. “Called Perfect at 10," a skit by Edward A. Paulton, which gave a glimpse of stage- land, was the most interesting feature, aside from the minstrel part, and gave a representation of a rehearsal, in which the trials of an author and a manager, the capriciousness of the leading man and the leading lady, the troubles of the minor members of ‘a company, the stage hands and the prompter. The parts were taken by Messrs. Lackaye, Collier, Barnabee, Carlyle, Conor, Lipman, Burr McIntosh, Frawley, Grismer, Jack Saville and Chas. Klein, and all made a great amount of fun. The authors Mnes were badly cut, the utility man had more work to do than a hotel porter, the comedian stood around guying everybody else, the leading lady wanted the business fixed to suit her so that she could keep her face to the audi- ence, the leading man had his own way in nearly everything, and the stage director bossed everybody and everything, and just as things seemed to be satisfactory Digby Bell, John Kellerd, Alfred Klein and George Barnum, made up as A. M. Palmer, Au- gustus Daly, Charles and Daniel Frohman, respectively, came in and interrupted the business with a demand that all should sing the national anthem, “Columbia,” words and music by Clay M. Greene and Victor Herbert, with which the performance closed. : There were two band selections during the evening which were especially noticea- ble, Victor Herbert's “American Fantasie” and the “Victor” march, composed by Mr. Sam. L. Studley. Each was led by the oom- peser. The first ended with the “Star Spangled Banner,” which brought the whole house to its feet, as did the same Ppstriotic song when it was sung by the minstrels in their finale. When the Lambs arrived from Baltimore carriages were at the depot to convey them to the theater, but they scorned to use them, and, headedby Victor Herbert and hig band, they marched up Pennsylvania avenue just as any other minstrel organiza- tion would have done. THE HUTCHINSON CONCERT.—The concert given at the Universalist Church last night by Mr. John W. Hutchinson, the venerable survivor of the famous Hutchin- son family of bygone days, was a most en- Jeyable affair, and amply repaid the lar audience present for ite attendance. Mr. Hutchinson was the youngest of the fami- ly, and although at this time over seventy- seven years of age, gave a recital last night tnat would have done credit to his earlier years. Mr. Hutchinson sang, or recited, “We Are With You Again, Kind Friends,” ‘Good Old Days of Yore,” “Un- cle Sam’s Farm,” “‘Calomel,” “Old Granite State’ and “He Worried About It.” Mr. Hitchinson was assisted by Mrs. Postell- Bverest, who sang the “Hymn to the An- gels,” “Bye Low Love,” “Sognia” and “Margaritta,”’ and with Mr. Hutchinson, the duet, ‘‘The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhooa of Man.” Mr. H.

Horah «Attempts to Kill George Aa Fowle. DOMESTIC TROUBLEALLEGED AS CAUSE Physicians Believe the Wounded Man Will! Recover. ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE Jam2s H. Horah, a clerk in the pension office, was committed to jail by the Police Court today on a charge of attempted mur- der, the allegation being that he shot and dangerously wounded George A. Fowle, a real estate agent, about 10 o'clock last right. The shooting occurred in the house of Mrs. Mary Froebel, at 1327 Kenesaw ave- nue, Mount Pleasant. Mrs. Froebel ts the mother of Mrs. Horah, and the latter's di- vorcsd hugband has been ‘living at her house. It is alleged that two years ago the Horan and Fowle families lived at Takoma Park, and since then the divorce courts have dealt with both of them. It was some time in December that Mrs. Horah and her hus- band separated, and the latter went with his three-year-old child to the house of his mother-in-law. to live. Last night Mrs, Horah called at her mother’s home to se2 her child, and she concluded she would re- main all night. The husband showed no aA to prevent her from seeing the child, and about 10 o’clock, when the mam- bers of the household were ready to retire, the door bell rang. It then developed that the late caller was Fowle, the real estate agent, and with him was a fricnd named Thomas H. King. The laiter was the one who rang the bell, and when asked who was at the door and what Was wanted, Mrs. Froebel was told :hat Mr. Fowle had called to see Mrs. Horah. “She cun’t be seen tonight,” said her mother. Mrs. Froebel then went to the front door. Mr. King had returned to the buggy, but he was called back to the house by Mr. Fowle, who introduced him to Mts. Froebel. Mrs. Horah, who had heard the conversa- tion, also went to the door, it is stated, and her husband, who had blamed Fowle for his family troubles, concluded that patience had ceased to be a virtue, and he appeared upon the scene. Exactly what took place will probably not be known by the public until witnesses are called upon to give their testimony under cath. Horah Fires Three Shots. Horah was evidently very much wrought up over the visit of Fowle, and he was soon using his revolver, a 44-caliber weapon. Three shots were fired, but only one bullet took effect. This entered Fowle’s groin, and it was thought by those Present that the wound was a fatal one. Mrs. Horah attempted to get the weapon from her former husband after he had fired one shot, but she did not succeed. One of the bulletsspagsed through the door, another entered the @bor facing, while the third one struck Fowle, as stated. When Fowle’s hat was afterward picked up it was found that ome of the bullets had made a hole through it: While the shoeting was going on Mr. King retreated to the-sidewalk and was at the house when PoMéeman Curtis arrived. The officer was on 14th street when a citizen came to him and told of the shoot- ing. He hurried over to Mrs. Froebel’s residence, where he found a crowd had al- ready assembled. Policeman. Enters the House. Entering the house he found Mr. King, who handed himsthe’ revolver used by Mr. Horah. The lattér ad put the weapon in his pocket so soom after the shooting that the smoke had mot cleared away from it. Standing in the parlor was the wounded man, while Mrs. Horgh, it is said, had her arm around him,.end” was kissing him. Learning that the man who had done the shooting had gene upstairs, the officer pro- ceeded to the top floor, where he found Horah seated in a rocking chair, smoking a cigar. “Is he dead?” Horah asked the policeman. “No,” the latter answered. Speaking of the affair Horah remarked that Fowle had broken up his family. Last night, he said, Fowle had come there to the house and attempted to force his way in the house. He (Horah) went to the assist- ance of his mother-in-law, and the shoot- ing followed. During the conversation Horah stated that he thought Fowle had shot at him. This caused an investigation of the premises, and ssarch was made for a pistol that Fowle might have used, but without success. None of the parties about the house, with the exception of Horah, made any claim that two weapons had bec discharged. Demands Horah’s Arrest. When the patrol wagon reached the house the injured man objected to going until Horah had been arrested and taken from the house. Policeman Kelly went to the Emergency Hospital with Fowle, and Drs. Juenemann, Fife and others made an examination of the wound. They found that the bullet had entered the abdomen. There were thirteen perforations of the in- testines, and the bullet was taken from the abdominal cavity. The operation perform- ed by the surgeons was successful, and this morning the patient was apparently mveh better. It is believed by the doctors that he will recover. The patient has said nothing to the doctors about the cause of his trouble. James H. Horah, the prisoner, is about thirty years old, and is a native of Salis- bury, N. C. He came-here about ten years ago and secured a government position. Four years ago he married. Fowle is a native of Alexandria, Va. Origin of the Trouble. As already stated, the divorces in the two families followed their summering at Takoma Park, two years ago, when Fowle and: Mrs. Horah first met. Fowle was re- cently arrested for failure to pay alimony and was in custody several days. Horah will remain in jail until his victim is out of danger, when bail will be accepted. The case will be heard in the Police Court.as soon as Fowle is able to appear. ‘Well-Known in Alexandria. Mr. Fowle is very well known in Alexan- dria, where he was in the insurance busi- ness for several years. He was born near Franconia station, in Fairfax county, about six miles southwest ef this city. He has a large number oftirelatives and acquaint- ances there, whorare not at all surprised at his being shot; as‘ his record, it is said, was not past reproacly: After leaving Alex- andria he went to Bredericksburg, where he again went med insurance business. ‘etington.

Decoration day coming Monday will give those who wish an opportunity to leave the city Saturday evening and remain awey until: Tuesday morning. At no other place within many miles of this city can a few days be spent more delightfully than at Fortress Monroe. With its many attrac- tions it is little wonder that the days spent at Fortress Monroe, in the fresh ocean breezes, do a world of good to those who are beginning to feel the effects of the long winter's work. The steamers of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company are the most comfortable and enjoyable route to Fortress Monroe, Nor- folk, Portsmouth and Newport News. They are handsomely furnished throughout, are lighted by electricity, are fitted with all the modern conveniences, and serve excel- lent meals. Until further notice these steamers will lcave 7th street wharf every evening at 6:30. There will be two special excursions to Colonial Beach on account of Decoration day. The handsomely appointed and swift going steamer T. V. Arrowsmith will leave her wharf,-foot of 7th street, at 6 p.m. to- morrow, and Sunday, May 29, at 9:45 a.m. Returning, she will leave Colonial Beach Monday (Decoration day) at 2:30 p.m., ar- riving home at 9 p.m. Those desiring to spend Memorial day away from home will find these excursions to Colonial Beach the cheapest as well as the most delightful. The bathing and fishing are said to be ex- cellent at this time of year. The Schwarze Ritter, or German Knights in Black, will give their annual excursion to River’ View on Sunday, and as the or- ganization is a very popular one a large attendance of its friends is looked for. These German Sundays at River View are the most pleasant of the season. Mirth and good fellowship abound, and all are out for a good time and have it. Sunday there will be plenty of good music, both vocal, by the German singing organizations, and instrumental, by the River View orchestra, under the leadership of Prof. Chris. Arth, to entertain those fond of music, and bowling matches, the chute and other at- tractions of the View will afford pleasure to those who are not musically inclined. There are no mines in the river near the View, and the steamer Pentz does not have to go within a half mile of the mine field to reach the wharf. Sunday the Pentz will leave her wharf, foot of 7th street, at 10:30 a.m., 3:30 and 6:80 p.m. Marshall Hall becomes more and more popular as the season advances, a goodly sized crowd having gone down on each trip made during the week.

Needham, 1758 Q street northwest. The cast included Misses Martha Hendrick, Edith Needham and Louise Joyce, and Messrs. Hillman Corbet, Jerome Ramskill, Bedford Brown and Wm. Coolidge. Mr. Brown represented the austere and exacting uncle of Dick Comfort; Miss Hen- aricks, the blamed but blameless wife of the crusty old uncié; Mr. Corbet took the part of Dick Comfort; Miss Edith Needham took the part of Dick Comfort’s wife; Mr. Coolidge as Harris, the man servant; Miss Joyce as the French maid, and Mr. Ram- skill acted the part of George Merivale, the friend and boon companion of Dick Com- fort. All did well, and the club deserves to be congratulated upon the performance. ‘The proceeds will go to the “Maine” fund. At the conclusion of the play the mem- bers of the cast and their invited friends were served with refreshments, and danc- ing followed. = a Ask your doctor how many prep- arations of cod-liver oil there are.

The jury in the case of Beverly Shanklin, who was tried yesterday in the Police Court on the charge of assaulting Policemen Bannegan and George Armitage, after be- ing out eighteen hours, came into court shortly after ¥ o’clock this morning and in- formed Judge Kimball, through their fore- man, Mr. R. W. H. Reel, that they were unable to agree upon a verdict in either case. “I am astonished,” was the comment of Judge Kimball, who thereupon discharged the jury from further consideration of the case. Shanklin is now serving a term in jail for threatening his wife. No date was set for a second trial of the assault charges. The testimony for the government show- ed that Sunday evening last the officer at- tempted to arrest Shanklin on a warrant which charged the latter with threatening to kill his wife. The officer met the ac- cused on the street and placed him under arrest. Shanklin told the officer he would not go with him, and a tussle followed, during which Shanklin struck the officer and kicked him several times. Policeman Bannegan then struck Shank- lin over the head with his club, and, it 1s alleged, poked him in his right eye, injur- ing it. From the effect of the blows Shanklin was rendered unconscious and fell on the ground, where he remained un- ul carried away in the patrol wagon. Ar- mitage received a couple of kicks from Shanklin while assisting Bannegan. Witnesses for the defense testified main- ly corroborative of the evidence given by those for the prosecution, but claimed that Shanklin did not at any time hit or kick the officer, nor did they know whether or not Armitage was kicked by Shanklin.
