3 DEAD, | DYING,
IN STORMS WAKE
Twenty-Five Injured by Flying
Wreckage When Caught in
City's Wind Caves.

! For the next seventeen years-unless
a few statistics of the local weather
bureau are upset-November 10, 1915, is
/ likely to be remembered by New York
City and suburbs as the "Day of the
Big Wind"
/ Not since December 4, 1898, another
/ red letter day in the weather mans
records, has such a storm whipped out
/ of the east as that which turned the
/ town topsy-turvy yesterday. Although
the near hurricane dropped in the
afternoon from its maximum of 70
/ miles an hour to the comparatively
leisurely rate of Al miles, storm sig
nails were still flying along the coast
and craft of all kinds were scurrying
for shelter.
With the lull came the first chance
/ to check up the havoc left in the wake
/ of the big wind. One man. whisked
/ from scaffold on the old Victoria
/ Theatre, lies dead in Bellevue. An
other victim, a siX-year-old girl who
clung to the runaway family umbrella
until it carried her in front of a street
car, was dying in st. Mary's Hospital,
Brooklyn. Two men were killed in the
| suburbs because their umbrellas pre-
vented them from lodging automobiles
Twentysix additional sufferers from the
storm, cut by flying glass or their limbs
broken by falls, were distributed among
other hospitals. And there were count
less others who nursed cuts and bruises
in their homes.
The man who met death in the city
was Antonio Gianolaio, a laborer, of
1922 First Avenue. He died in the
/ hospital a couple Of hours after the
wind tore him from his scaffold. Rose

I lyn. was the girl carried under the car
! by the umbrella.
Ex-Justice Hit BY Car.
! An accident similar TO that Of the
| child befell William ID. Dickey, ex-jus-
/ tice of the Supreme Court. Justice
| Dickoy's raised umbrella hid from him
a Flatbush Avenue car, as he was MAX
/ ing his way across Court Street near
! the Borough Hall, Brooklyn. The form
/ er justice was unconscious for several
| minutes after the car struck him. He
was recognized by friends and taken
I to his home, $50 Ocean Avenue, in a
/ taxicab His injuries are not believed
/ TO be serious.
In Monticello, Stephen l.. Strong,
sixty-eight, one of the oldest business
men in the village, was killed by an
/ automobile belonging 70 c. Schoch, at
! noon yesterday. II was raining hard,
1 driven by a strong east wind. Mr..
Strong, holding his umbrella low, was
unable to see the car approaching on
| the wrong side of the road, at about
thirty miles an hour. The machine
threw him so that his head struck
the curb. When picked up he was
! dead.
In Englewood the rain and wind
storm was responsible for another
death. While attempting to cross West
Englewood Avenue, his umbrella up
and head bent, Louis Shapiro. sixty,
was struck by a jitney auto bus of
] the Interborough line and killed.
Shapiro leaves a wife and five chill
dren.
