No particulars could be obtained last night as to whether the infant was while or colored. John Nichols, colored, residing on Proby's court, while working at load? ing the steamship Imani at Lambert's Point last night, met with a peculiar accident. A board which he had Just taken hold of at one end, had a log rolled on the other end suddenly and unexpectedly and the end in his hands wns suddenly tilted, striking him under the chin and cutting a gash some three inches In length. The force of the blow caused him to bite off the end of his tongue.

The Virginian-Pilot published an account of the shooting In Sunday's Issue and stated that the woman was killed. It has developed, however, that she is not dead and may recover. The condition of Green is also much Improved. The following dispatch from Wash? ington tells the story of the shooting, giving the woman's statement: "Green and I had Just come from down town, and he had been begging me to leave town with him, which I re? fused to do. On returning to the house I went UDstairs. Green followed, and while I was standing facing the looking glass and he was In the door, he fired the shot that struck me near the ear. After this shot I remember hearing an? other shot, then I lost consciousness. The last shot I heard I thought it was j when Green shot himself." "In answer to the charge that she did I the shooting she said: 'I never owned a pistol in my life. It It true that not long ago Green cut my name on his | pistol, but I have not seen It since.' "Both nartles to the conflict are im? proving, and unless blood poison sets | in It is thought both will recover." Tlie Moore woman at one time lived I on Church street In this city with her husband, who Is now said to be In | Newport News. A WIERD PORTENT. THE SKY'S STORM SIGNAL SET IN | BLACK. As wlerd a sight as ever heralded an nppronching storm was seen in the skies last night between 10:30 and 11:30 o'clock. This was a double stratification of Ciaro?nimbus, a most unusual combination of cloud form. The nimbus cloud banked solidly from north to west across the entire horizon and from this bank rayed l<jng black streamers, in a flare similar to the old Zunl rep? resentation of the rays ot the sun, I stretched far across the heavens, cov? ering the sky from west to cast. | .Through the rifts between these flam? boyant storm fingers the moon could be seen, swimming in a sea of mackerelled cirrus clouds, occasionally rimming the black edges of the streamers -with sil? ver. The long, regular curves of . the | nimbus streamers, gradually diminish? ing In width, the regular spacing be? tween them, as gradually Increasing in width, and the silvery cirrus clouds so sharply defining them mnfle a scene that halted many a pedestrian and caused a feeling of nwe to thrill each beholder. The red signal lantern of the Weather Bureau portending a gale only emphasized the scene. \ AMUSEMENTS. THE BIJOU'S NEW BILL.

AFTER PISTOL TOTERS. Mr. John M. Whltehend, of Lee coun? ty, will Introduce a bill In the House of Delegates, which, If It becomes a law, may. 'n a great measure, correct and check the constant and almost un? iversal practice of carrying pistols. The bill, it Is stated, will confer upon any magistrate or Justice of tho peace the right to search any person whom he suspects of having a pistol upon his person. Should such a weapon be found the party If to bo at once arrested, taken before the proper otuccr, fined $20 and given thirty days In jail.
