Deputy Carter Of Frederick county near

charged, was evidently expecting arrest,
and when he spied the officers he lit out for
the woods, the officers meanwhile closing
In on him from different directions. Three
or four shots were fired over his head, and
he stopped. He was taken to Frederick
last night and lodged in Jail, there to await
"a hearing this week. The charge is made
out against him by his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Edward Yingling of Frederick county, who
claims that he came to her home March IA
iand kicked up row, and In the row as
saulted her by striking and otherwise abus-
ing her. Gorum claims he went there after
his wife. and Mrs. Yfnglfng refused him adj
mittance. Mrs Yingling, he says. fired of
IA gun to intimidate him, blowing away part
Of the door near the top, and he was then
met with fusillade of shots from a re-
,volver in the hands of Edward Yingling.

he grappled with Yingling, throwing him
over. and got his wife and left.

Mi-Careme Concert.

In the ball room of the New Willard
last evening the Glee and Mandolin clubs
of Georgetown University gave their MI
Careme concert before a large audience,
composed principally Of young people. The
enthusiasm which usually greets the ap-
pearance Of q college organization among
its friends was manifest last evening, and
that the program was thoroughly enjoyed
was evidenced by the hearty applause and
insistent demands for encores. Rev. H.
August Gaynor directed the Glee Club,
while the Mandolin Club was under the
leadership Of John A. Foote. The clubs
were assisted in the program by Mr.. Ernest
Lent, violoncelltst, and MT. George H.
the glee association were Mr.. Joseph l..
Battle, tenor; Mr.. John A. Foote guitar,
and Mr.. Charles w. Mcguire, baritone.
Probably the most enjoyable feature of
were the solos by Mr.. Lent. who played a
'Nocturne" by Chopin and Schumann's
familiar 'Traumeref." The excellent at
tentien of the audience during the rendi-
and the hearty outburst of applause at
their close indicated the appreciation of
the auditors. Mr.. O'Connor scored a de-
cided hit in his coon songs and was obliged
Of his ability to please and entertain. The
solo by Mr.. Battle, winter and Spring."
by DeKoven, was rewarded with applause.
and he sang as an encore Bohm's Calm
as. the Night" Mr.. Maguire's baritone
voice was heard to good advantage in the
solo of THE Owl and the Pussy Cat"
arranged for glee club by DeKoven. Mr..
Foote's guitar solos were much enjoyed
The songs by the glee club were charac--
terized by an abundance of college spirit
which made up for defects In harmony
and shading. The glee club was at It's
best In the humorous selections, and was
repeatedly encored, responding with famil-
lar numbers. Its most pretentious under
taking was In the rendering Of "On Venice
Waters" a beautiful waltz song by Roe
der. Other selections by the singers were
Little Cotton Dolly" by Giebel, and Parks
arrangement of "Po' LIZ Lamb"
The mandolin club was received with
considerable favor, one of its most en-
joyable numbers being THE Enchanted
Lutte" by Pomeroy. The accomplishments
for the soioists were played creditably by
Mr., Armand Gumprecht and Mr.. Thomas
F. Desmond. jr.
