Slashes Him Over Head and Arm
 With Butchers Cleaver.
 Hartford, July 3.-George Peter, IT years old Greek boy, living at 29 Mulberry street, came near losing his life last night as the result of a dispute over the price of his laun- dry with Chang Lee, Chinaman at "A Mulberry street. The Chinaman has held Peters laundry several weeks because he said Peter would not pay the price of the work, 50 cents. Last night Peter went in and demanded it, and when Lee refused to give it up, followed him into the rear of the laundry.
 Lee says he got frightened, beliey- ing that the boy was going to rob him, and he picked up heavy cleayer such as is used in butcher shops and made a savage blow at the boys head. The boy warded it off with his left arm and the result was that the cleaver went through his coat sleeve and gouged out a piece of flesh several inches in length and about half an inch deep. He ward ed off still another blow with the same arm, and caught the edge of the cleaver in the palm of his hand, and this cut clear through to the bones, all the way across his hand. A third blow landed on the left side of his forehead near the temple, cutting almost all the way through the bone, and according to Police Surgeon Tiernan, who attended him, came within three-sixteenths of an inch from going into his brain and killing him.
 The last blow ended the fight. The young Greek went down and the Chinaman ran out. While he had not received a blow himself, and had not scratch on his body, his light col ored clothes were covered with blood that had spattered from the Greek, and he ran at full speed up Main street and soon crowd was fol- lowing. He ran directly to the police station and screamed out in broken English that a couple of boys had as- saulted him and robbed him of "a good many dollars" A number of officers were sent down to the place with him, but Officer c. P. Flynn had already taken charge of the place and Officers O'Mara and Langrish arrested the Chinaman as soon as he reap peared. He had s11 in his clothes.
 Police Surgeon Herman decided that Peter would have to spend some time in the hospital and ordered him sent back to St Francis's hospital in the patrol wagon. The blow which struck him in the forehead also glanced of and struck his nose and nearly severed the end of it. Chang Lee was held without bail for assault and battery.

HAD CONCEALED WEAPON.
Two Fines and Costs Put on Angelo
 Ferara.

Cupid, the hot weather, a loaded revolver and a pretty girls picture formed a combination that landed Angelo Ferara in the police station last night and in the city court to- day. Ferara drives a beer wagon and he was delivering a case of his goods at Domenico Scopetas place, sos North Main street, when the trouble began. Ferara is rather good looking and he seems aware of this asset. And he puts quite valuation on 1t, it seems. for when his friends told him they had a nice girl over in Italy who would like to marry him, he smiled, conscious of his appear ance. To be sure that the girl was nice" he asked if there was a pie ture of her in the house and one Of the women present showed him a photograph of a decidedly fair Vene- tian. To the surprise of all present Ferara did what is yulgularly known as turned up his nose at it." The women were mortified at the way he treated the picture. The languishing eyes in 1t had no charm for him and he had no sympathy with the charm of the whole picture. Then. some how, the picture got torn and Ferara said it would cost si to repair 1t but he had no money 10 throw away on such things. The lack of sympathy he showed in the entire transaction seemed to irritate everybody. The women gathered around him and con- who was sleeping not far on got up and went to the scene of trouble
 Ferara then made for his hip pocket but a woman held his hand and a loaded revolver was taken from him
 The police were sent for and in court to-day he was charged with breach of the peace and carrying con cealed weapons. and he was fined S and costs and SIS and costs. s
