Robbed of $500.


 tween Third and Fourth avenues. on Twenty-fourth street.
 Robbed of $500.
 Bingham stated that he was about midway the block when a mulatto step- ped into the sidewalk and dealt him a blow in the right side, either with his fist or with some heavy blunt instrument He said that he was knocked down, and while down the negro took an amount of money something like $500 from him. As soon as he was able to rise Bingham staggered on down the street to the New Jefferson and reported the robbery to the clerk. When Bingham entered the lobby he had no hat. After hearing the &C., count of the robbery the clerk went out side to see if he could find the mans headgear. He was gone for very few minutes, but returning found Bingham lying limp in a chair and entirely un- conscious.
 Shaw & Sons ambulance was sum- moned and the man was removed to the Hillman hospital A peculiar incident in the case is the fact that the physicians who attended Bingham could find no bruises about him. His side was exam ined but did not appear to have been bruised. It is possible, however, that the blow, which was delivered just below the statement, might have been struck with the fist and left no mark.
 Hudson's Curious Adventure.
 Shortly before 10 o'clock last night, with a terrible gash just over the left temple, F. H. Hudson, who lives at Coal burg, stopped a police officer on the cor ner of Third avenue and Eighteenth street and asked him where he could get doctor. The officer seeing the gap ing wound on the mans head took him into saloon on the corner and making him comfortable as possible summoned an ambulance.
 Hudson stated to the officer that he had intended going out to see a brother at Pratt City and that 1t was his intention to board the car at Eighth avenue and Fifteenth street. north. He says that he saw the car coming and went out into the street to hail 1t.
 Just as he was about to get on the car Hudson states that he was dealt a heavy blow on the side of the head. In his opinion, according to his statement, the blow was dealt over his shoulder from behind. The car it seems went on by.
 The wounded man in some manner made his way down town, and the police officer was the first to stop him. Lige Loys ambulance answered the call of the officer and Hudson was removed to the Hillman hospital. It Is not believed that the injury will prove fatal. The mo- tive of the assault is unknown.
 Wounded Negro Dies.
 W. M. Long, the negro whom Officer Street shot Tuesday night on Second ave- nue in front of the Peoples Savings bank, died at the Hillman hospital yesterday morning at 3:SO o'clock immediately after being taken off of the operating table. The shooting of Long grew out of difficulty which he had with some young white man on the streets about Il o'clock. It is said that the negro had started for the white man with an open knife, when Officer Street walked up. When the or- ficer told him to stop the negro started toward him.
 
 stand still, but he advanced with the open knife, and Street shot him once in the hand and again in the abdomen. He was taken to the hospital at the city jail and afterwards removed to the Hill man hospital. An operation was per formed and the negro died just after be- ing taken off of the table.
 Negro Cuts Negro.
 A fight which occurred between two negroes on Powell avenue and Thirty sixth street in one of the railroad work cars will probably result in the death of one of the negroes. The name of either of the negroes is not known. It seems that they got into a difficulty about their supper, and the one attacked the other with Knife, inhicting ugly wounds in face. The wounded negro was carried to the Hilman hospital and his recovery is doubtful. His assailant made good his escape.
 J. J. Kennedy, an engineer on the Southern railroad. was ripped up on Twenty-first street near Second avenue yesterday afternoon and fell to the pave- ment, injuring his head. His head was badly bruised and he was removed to St. vncent's hospital in an unconscious condition in an ambulance of the Green Undertaking company.
 There were numerous affrays on the streets and more or less serious injury
