ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Grave Charges Made Against Charles,
Alias DOble. Anderson.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
EVANSVILLE, Md. August 81, 1890
Charles, alias Doble, Anderson and his
alleged paramour, Jane Fisher, were ar
raigned before Justice Carr yesterday
evening. The former was held on three
charges, the penalty of bond being fixed
at $500, to appear before the grand jury
at Marlboro for carrying concealed weap-
ons and assault with intent to kill. He was
also bound over to keep the peace The
woman was also held under a bond of
$500 for carrying concealed weapons a re-
volver having been taken from her stock
ing. The evidence was to the effect that
John w. Thomas, an old man, was walk
ing along the road last Tuesday evening,
when Anderson, who drives a milk wagon,
deliberately pulled a revolver from his
pocket and fired two shots at the old man
at close range without effect. Anderson re-
turned from Washington in an Intoxicated
condition, went to the home of Thomas
and drove two small children from the
house, secured a can of coal oil and box
of matches, poured the contents upon the
side of the house and set it atire. Thomas,
who was working in nearby field, saw his
house burning and rushed and
tinguished the blaze. This appeared to en-
rage Anderson, who picked up large
rock and struck the old man in the head,
knocking him senseless He then ran over
to the house where the Fisher woman lived
for his revolver, saying he was going to
kill Thomas. Thomas had by this time re-
gained consciousness and beat hasty re-
treat when he saw Anderson coming. He
came to this village and notified Deputy
Sheriff Hickey, who, in company with Con-
stable Vincent, went in search of the would
be murderer who started to run on the
approach Of the officers. An exciting chase
took place, the officers emptying their re-
volvers in the attempt to stop the fleeing
man.
Anderson managed to elude them and re-
paired to his mothers home, near Takoma
Park, where he was captured by the Dis
trict police shortly afterward and turned
over to the authorities of this place.
Thomas has a fearful cut the back
of the head and was last night reported to
be in a serious condition. Anderson is said
to be a desperate character, who has given
the authorities considerable trouble.
Miss Mary Elizabeth Johnson died yes
terday at the home of her brother, John A.
Johnson of this place. The funeral took
place today from the Methodist Church,
Rev. w. Woof officiating. The interment
was made in the old Bladensburg burial
ground.
The funeral of Mr.. j. William Lynch,
who died a. his mothers home in Bledens-
burg yesterday, will take place from his
late home Friday at o'c.ock. The inter-
ment will be made in BadenSburg ceme-
terry.

writer warns the United States against

says:

one OF Lawyer Frank Moss assistants
recently remarked that Mr. Moss staff of
sieuths would have lots of interesting stor-
les TO tell after their work was all over and
ended. While the sleuths, for sound pro-
fesslonal reasons, cannot yet unbosom
themselves, there is a vast amount of COM
cay and pathos incident to the investiga-
ton, which anybody may see who will
spend an hour in the little ante-room ad-
Joining Mr. Moss private office Mr.. Moss
in his role of counsel for the Mazet COM
mlttee, has found, to his sorrow that the
arduous labor of Sitting the mass of pos
sible material for investigation, mapping
out a program for the inquiry and direct
ing the operations of large staff are but
half of the bother that attaches to his en-
terprise. He found before he had been at
work week that he expected to be
the public burden bearer, the man who was
to right all the wrongs, real and fanced
that the courts, the police, the professions
the business men and the citizens generally
had perpetrated within the past few years
The man who had lost law suit or who
had been cheated in a trade, or who had
been licked in fight, wanted Mr. Moss to
settle his grievances, and until the LAWYER
barricaded himself in his private chamber
and stationed a corps of assistants in the
ante-room outside to intercept the tale of
woe, his life was a burden. Now a bright
and discriminating assistant meets the
cranks, the boreS, the weak-minded whin-
ers and the rest, hears their stories and
if there is anything in them, sends them to
Mr.. Moss; if not, he automatically dis
misses them.

while in greater New York there are more
than forty men who passed the. final eX-
aminations at far-famed universities. FIJI

William c. Whitney has purchased
tract of land of sixty or seventy acres, on
which he will build stables and track:
The grounds adjoin the Coney Island
Jockey Club in the twenty-hrst ward OF
BROOKLYN The price was 100000. About
forty acres of the tract Is marsh, and the
remainder is of a sandy soil and billy. MI.
Whitney says he has no intention of build
ing a race track there. His intention was
to establish training quarters for his
horses. He considers that under proper
management he can establish an IDEAL
training quarters in his new purchase.
Within the next few months, it is his lnten-
ton to build a training track, erect stables.
houses for his help, and also to build res
idence for himself where he can live When
he feels so inclined and also where he can
entertain his friends. The stables and
track will be for Mr.. Whitney's private
use.
Actors Popular I'm England.
''While most persons decry the action OF
William Waldorf Aston in expatriatins
himself said Dorothy Usner, in the midst
of a tale of travel the other day. there is
one class of persons who, with better rea-
son for their choice, would prefer to re-
side in England, and that is the actor. In
America an actor is simply an actor-and
sometimes he is not even that. Few actors
in this country enjoy any social position.
In England 1t Is different, A successful ac-
tor or actress there holds quite as good a
position socially as artistically. All of the
actor managers in London are sought al
ter by the best set-George Alexander,
Beerbchm Tree John Hare, Martin Har-
vey Charles Wyndham, and lastly, but
most omportant, Sir Henry 1rving-are all
prominent socially. AT the cafe Chant-
ants, l attended at the Cecil one AFTER
noon, all of these actors with their famliles
were present and hobnobbed with ladles OF
title and royalty in general. The stage oc-
cupieS a more exalted position IN England
than it does in America, and one really
cannot blame an actor for wishing to live
in London. But of all the American ar
lists who have sought recognition In John
Bulls domain by far the most popular per-
son socially, as well as professionally, to-
day in London is a woman, and that Wo-
man, Cora Urquhart Potter. AT every So
cial function Mrs. Potter Is seen fitting
about, talking to Lopdons ultra smart
set by all of whom she is petted.'
