SHOT THROUGH WINDOW.
Bullet Crashed Into Room in Home o
George Potter on Chapel Street.

Mrs. Geo. Potter, the wife of one of
the clerks in the paper mailing room of
the postoffice, met with an adventure
while sitting in a room in the second
story of the Potter home, at Sc Chapel
street Wednesday afternoon that she
will not be likely to forget for some
time.
According to the story furnished to
the Journal by Mr.. Potter. Mrs. Potter
was in a room in the front of the house,
one flight of stairs from the street,
when she was suddenly startled by the
crashing of one of the large plate glass
windows in the room. After recovering
her composure Mrs. Potter made an in
vestigation and found d large hole in
the window and later discovered an in
denture in the ceiling from which she
took fattened lead bullet. The bullet
was as large as the end of mans fin
ger and evidently was fired from a 80
or IS calibre gun or revolver.
The affair occurred at about 5.11
o'clock and Mrs. Potter. who was too
frightened to take any action, reported
the matter to her husband when he
came home from work half an hour
later. The whole thing is very mystic
rious and Mr.. and Mrs. Potter would
both be very glad Of a solution.

A DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT
BY Tufts College Glss and Mandolin
Clubs Before Large Audience.

1t was a very large and fashionable
audience that greeted the famous Tufts
College Glee and Mandolin Clubs last
evening, when that organization made
its appearance in City hall. The clubs
came to Augusta with unusual recon-
mendations and no one could have been
disappointed with last evenings con-
cert. In the Glee Club were blended 33
strong manly voices and the solo and
chorus work which was under the di-
rection Of II. N. Lendall, was of sur
prising worth and the men proved their
right unquestionahly of being regard
ed as the best college glee club in New
England and one Of the best in the
whole country. The Mandolin Club,
which also included guitar, violin and
viola players, was fully as good as the
singing organization and the concerted
numbers in which the two blended their
efforts, were particularly pleasing. J.
r. Wyckoff was the leader of the
stringed organization.
The program was long and inter-
esting one, and it provided a great va
riety. of selections, ranging in import
ance from the most absurd of nom
StiiSS lily fico ~ d IIldSIlillceIC cnOEdl
piece. 1.-THE War Song of Gamelbar,"
the words by Americas foremost poet
of the present generation, Bliss Car
man, and the music by Frederick Field
Bullard. This selection fell little short
Of being true masterpiece and the
perfection of it's rendition made it the
more appreciable. Mr.. Lendall accom-
panied the singers in this number on
the piano and he played the score most
artistically and displayed brilliant
technique-something hardly to be ex-
pectod i'll college glee club. For an en-
core number the singers gave Mr.. Bull
lard's short but very fine Hunt Song"
The singers and the players were forced
to respond to repeated encores to every
number.
A pleasing diversion was the readings
given by H. c. Gale, who displayed
considerable mimical talent and his
pantonime of society belle preparing
for a promenade was warmly applaud
ed, especially by the ladies in the au-
dience.
The program in its entirety was as
follows:

1t is quite noticeable that on all, or
nearly ALL of the freight trains that
pass through the city, bound for the
West, there are a large percentage of
the cars used to transport potatoes,
presumably the famous spuds grown in
Aroostook county. The expense of
shipping the potatoes thus far this
winter has been considerably lesscned,
it is said, by the fact that the weather
has been mild, and in many cases,
cars have gone through to Boston
without being heated.
