 Following in the wake of the ter. rife gale which dashed the Atlantic seaboard last night. Plainville failed to escape unscathed In the attack of the angry clements The most , serious case of damage wrecked by tho capricious wind last night has been reported from 54 Forestville avenue where an attic wall in 8 brick building owned by tho Francis Buell. estate. was crashed in during the night. Tho house is occupied by two families. Hubert Sprague re- siding on the first floor and Floyd Kalish on the second.
 A jagged hole measuring approxi- rnately six feet long and four feet high was punctured in the wall and bricks were torn from their plaster holdings like tissue paper. The dam- age was done on the south side of the building and 1t will cost con- siderable to repair 1t. A canvas covering was improvised for 1t to- day and workmen will re-brick 1t tomorrow.
 Freight Cars Lose Roofs Unusual as the first case was. an- other happening in the freight yard appears to be more extraordinary. There the roofs on two freight cars were ripped completely of. one was thrown several feet while tho other was laid neatly upside down beside the vehicle of which it was once an integral part.
 Howard Parsons of Broad street. car inspector. narrowly escaped seri- ous injury when the accident occur when the first roof parted form ita moorings and seeing that another was going. he began to tie one end of it down to secure 1t. While thus engaged. the wind. seeming angry at his efforts to thwart it's plans of de- struction, whipped to the other end of the car and took the roof and flung it from it's place. Parsons, sensing that his efforts would be to TO avail. just jumped in time to es- cape being hurled to the ground. He twas uninjured.

 Peepcr Again Active
 Plainvtlie has one of the most fiji subjects for the state insane asylum on record of late years in the state He is the "peeper" who has been carrying on operations near the cen- ter of the town for some time. Last night. unchilled and undaunted by the wintry blasts that swooped down on the town. he was seen practtcing his art in the vicinity of the Tele- phone Co. office on Pierce street. The scene of his activities appears to lie in the vicinity of Pierce and Canal streets but. despite the fact that Night Patrolman George Schu- bert has used all his cunning to CdtL41 kAO ul6AL pV"ASbt SAAo NuAPAA- u has more than matched wits with the policeman.
 Just . plain nut" is the way he has been characterized by many in the town but if a number of irate citizens happen upon him while he is carrying on his moronfc practices he will be 'cracked" more than he Is at the present time.
