gency Hospital, is able to appear in court.
According to the statements of those said

been trouble for some time past between
Collins and his wife. Last evening while
under the effects of liquor, it is said. the
accused man went to his home, No. 24O9
f street northwest, and without proVoca-
ton on his wife's part fired a revolver three
times at her. One of the DULLES took effect

feared entered the lung. The other two
went wide of the mark, failing to hit her.
Collins was arrested soon after the occur
renee by Policemen flanley and Barthel
and locked up at No. 3 station.
1t is alleged that Collins has not con-
tributed anything to the support of his
wife and child a long time. ard that
Mrs. Collins has supported herself and the
child by sewing. 1t is stated that Collins
was a member during the war with Spain
of an immune regiment, and when he re-
turned to Washington In June last estab-
lished himself at the home of his wife and
her mother, at the place where the shoot
ing occurred. 1t is also asserted that Mrs.
Collins left her husband several months
before he enlisted, since which time he has
sven lio HoiitS. "a part Vi lle time
Collins, it is said, has been employed, but
most of his earnings have gone for liquor
Last evening after returning home Col
Inns, it is charged, began scolding his wife
She was engaged in sewing and turned
from her husband in such way that her
back was toward him. This seemed to
anger him. even to greater extent than
he had been, and he fired as stated.
AS soon as Collins did this he left the
house and went little distance down the
street. where he was held by Mr. John A.
Burnes and others until the officers ar
rested him. Mrs. Collins injury is said to
be painful, but not severe. 1t is thought all

ADJUSTMENTS.

KERNAN'S LYCEUM THEATER.-A
"house show" began a weeks engagement
at Kernan's Lyceum theater yesterday
afternoon. Notwithstanding the extremely
warm weather, the galleries were filled ana
a large crowd occupied seats on the first
floor. With the exception of the concluding
ing number on the program, a ballet en-
bracing seven persons, the performance can
be classed as above the ordinary, several OF
the specialtes being really high-class and
expensive. The ballet was poorly re-
hearsed, and the little dancing that was
done was Of the most ordinary KIND, the
time being taken up with posing. Darmody
began the afternoons performance with
club juggling act that went very Wen.
Howe and Scott, in Hebrew specla,ty,
sang several new songs and introduced
clever cake walk. George Graham, local
monologue artist, was given an entnuSias-
tic reception and kept everybody laushhs
during his turn. Howard and Emerson m
troduced their old time speciality for start
off and then wound up with . new Illus
trated song and couple that were hol
new. Winnie De Witt was wei! received IN
a serio-comic turn Inc olack-laGe s Ian
of rag-time dancers, Williamson and stone,
introduced nothing that was new, but the
team is clever enough to be entertaining.
The Gilmore sisters had talking turn .hai
embraced great deal that was h oa.s
and new, and of course they were nearby
applauded. The ballet conciudeo the per-

GLEN ECHO PARK.-The weeks Initial
performances Of both musical and tneatrl-
cal features drew big crowds out TO Glen
Echo last night. Results count, 1t ls sald
of every venture, and the throngs that the
various car lines carry to the parks en-
trance every night is the best evidence that
Glen Echo is enjoying the greatest boom
of any resort hereabouts. The musical d1-
rector Mr. Will Haley, in his concerts on
the lawn, has made a splendid impression
with the musical element of Washington,
and every evening at these concerts In the
open air one can note in the audience many
well-known people prominent in the must
cal set of Washington. Haley's perform
ance received many encores, and at the
termination of the music the crowd surged
forward into the amphitheater to listen to
the matchmaking features the minstrel
troupe provides. The program given last
night is a complete change from last
weeks bill, and the various entertainers
succeeded in presenting a performance at
once refined and free from horse play and
at the same time simply irresistible as
laugh creator. In the dancing pavilion the
splendid band now provided always
ceeds in drawing a crowd. Many improve
ments, by the way, are under course Of
completion and a number of novel attrac-
tons are promised. The mo admission

works display and the dancing pavilion has
enhanced the popularity of the park very
much.
