THE WIND BLEW
Those Who Were Out in Tuedays
 Storm Realized It.

The strong wind that passed over the city Tuesday afternoon about 1 o'clock was accountable for some strange an- ties. A grocers team was going west heal the Colonial Trust Co.'S building when the, cyclonic visitor was coming up West Main street. II took the wagon and the two young fellows on it in it's very rough embrace, and raised the umbrella that was over them clear out of it's socket and sent it flying higher than the trees on the green. II was recovered later.
 An Italian was sh0veling coal from car on the trestle in the yard of the ScoEil Manufacturing Co and the wind
 liled him clear out of the car and landed him in another one upside c0wn. When he came to himself he was surrounded by half a dozen men who had seen him perform the singular feat without any effort on his part.
 ln' the north end they tell story of . lIneman whose brains came near being dashed out. He was working on a Dole and seeing the dust whirling up around him, decided to come down as easily as possible. He threw line owe the arm of the pole and proceeded to lei himself down gradually. But tl'e wind started him swaying like a mighty pendulum and the banging be sdt against the pole made the specta- tors think that every bone in his body must be broken. He escaped snch serious injury. however. but he felt mighty sore when at last the wind ceased and he came down.
 On Exchange place the air was full of hats and umbrellas.

IN HARTFORD ALSO
Man Called Another Vile Name and
 Was Stpbbed For It.

1 Hartford. July 2i.-William Bark
 ley negro. goaded to fury as he claims. by a vile epithet applied tt him by John Hogan, at 2:4O O'clock yesterday afternoon stabbed the lat ter on Main street three times with a butcher knife and expressed regre,
 after his arrest that he had not sue
 ceeded in killing Hogan, who he said
 deserved to die. The assault was
 near Strant's stable Barkley says That he was going along the street
 minding his own business when Ho
 gan. whom he had never seen before
 shouted after him asking him where
 he was going and applying a vile
 name to him. He drew from his pock- ct one of the ort-bladed butcher
 Knives commonly called .pig.stick-
 CTS" and stabbed Hogan in the back of the neck three times.
 The knife did not enter very far
 but the wounds bled a great deal and Hogan fell to the sidewalk. Bark ley dropped the knife at HOgan's side and disappeared before crowd col lected. Hogan was picked up and car ried into the alleyway that leads To the stable. Police Surgeon Starr at tended him and Hogan was sent to the Hartford hospital.

 He is an unusually good looking negro and appears very intelligent. He has plea sanity modulated voice and would not be picked out as man likely tp he guilty of such a crime. He was booked on charge of assault with intent to kill and instead of ex- pressing remorse for stabbing Hogan he expressed regret that the man had not been killed.
 He ought to he killed" he said to Chief Gum. Any man that will call another what he called mo had ought to die. Out in my country. Kentucky if a man calls another that. they wrap him in cotton and burn him to death

He also had in his pockets four stones. each of which would weigh about a pound and q half. These were worn smooth and looked as though they had been car ried long time. He said he had car ried ihe stones for no particular req son hut because he had taken fancy to them During the time that he has been in this city he has attracted much attention on the streets because of his peculiar attire Among other things he wore a pair of boots that lare,l high above the ankle.
