From The Chicago Journal
The hurricane that passed over our city with
such slsiming violence on Sunday night appears
to have been more furious IN us course through
tie Interior of the State. We hear of great dsn-
ages 10 railroads. farms and villages. The ST.
Louis, Alien and Chicago Railroad had several OF
its culveds and the Rock Creek bridge swept away,
near Peoria junction, rendering the ROAD impossible
for a distance of some fifty rods, and considerable
damage has been done by storm and Hood along the
hDe Of the road between tDst point and this city, IL
w be days bsfofs the damages Will be repaired,
but the railroad connection will IN the mean time be
kept up by of connecting trains. That section
OF the State wss completely inundated water wastwo
