Lieut.. Horton, who had no report OF any
trouble on Market square and neither po-
lice officer nor citizen had yet reported so
remarkable an incident as the beating of

so public a place. The story told by
Megalthin has some rather out Of the or
dipary features.
There were but two arrests made by
the police OF the Second station last night.
Some evil disposed lad pulled the tail
board out of n Tip cart on Charles street
near Randall Square last evening Before
the driver of the outfit knew anything
was wrong about half a load Of sand had
been put just where IL wassnceded OH the
square, though the lad responsible for
the improvement is entitled to no credit
on that account.
An unusually merry time Is looked for
Sy the friends of the Pekin Literary
Association at the Presentation bali to be
held in Dimond hall Friday evening of
this week.
WIND MADE THINGS LIVELY.
The wind last night held high carnival
in this section of the city. The doors OF
the new Holy Name church were blown
in and the clCtl screens in the windows
were torn TO tatters The wind roared
and groaned through the new church but
the damage done was slight as the doors
wsro only temporary ones. The church
Is located at such point on Camp street
as to invite the winds, but of ,ourse is SO
solid that when the permanent doors and
windows are in the wind will prove in
capable of doing any damage.
On East avenue and Cypess street large
branches were torn from trees A sky
light was removed from its moorings and
mt 167 and 267 Charles street two large
lights were bro ken by the wind.
