A band of about 30 gypsies passed
through the city on Monday. They came
from near Philadelphia and expected to
camp for a short time on the Newport
turnpike just outside the city. Every
member of the band appeared to be a
foreigner, evidently from Italy. They
could not speak English well, and re-
porter found difficulty in getting any in
formation from them. There were num-
Der of women and about score were
children in the party. Some were riding
in open wagons exposed to the hot rays
of the sun, but they seemed contented

sent for.
The latter arrived just as the younger
lad sank to the ground with deep
wound in his left side. He is in a
dangerous condition, but may possibly
live. The other boy is also painfully
