THE NORTH DIVISION.

The North Division proved to be the favored
one Of the tempest. The only section ut all in-
iured b4 the wind lies south Of Chicago avenue
and east Of Clark street, where the destruction
is almost general in regard to trees and eide
walks It is particularly noticeable near the
1ake. where the storm seems to have struck and
laid low the many trees that have been set out
this spring, and had not sufficient. frmnees Of
root nor sutI;ciency Of support. Trees on Bush,
Superior, Pine, Huron, Ohio, Indians, North
State, Erie, and Ontario streets arc lying around
in promiscuous confusion. They fell, many Of
them, ACROSS the sidewalk. aud the police we're
busy all the evening removing the debris. But lit
tie damage was done by the fall Of trees, nothing
being IN the way. The wreck OF sidewalks was
extensive. The walk on Ohio street. between
Pine and st. Clair streets, was torn up, as Was
also that Oh Ontario street, near Pine; and On
Michigan street. near State. about 100 feet Of walk
was raised and thrown fully 80 feet from Its reg
ular position. The destruction OF lamp-posts
was not NJ great as in other parts OF the clty.
III one instance where falling tree struck, tho
iron post was snapped in pieces. Many panes Of
glass arc broken, and street Signs twisted.
The old wooden structure shut has heretofore
been used for service by the Catholic Church OF
the Holy Name Was much torn up. The north
cred the sidewalk till removed
North Of Chicago avenue the gale WAS very
little felt. Washington Square, the growing
pride Of the residents Of its vicinity, Was left
untouched: the trees even did not lose branch.
Further north damage WAS almost unknown.
Windows without number wore broken; Chin
news we're thrown down, and in many instances
tho whole roof was removed to the level of the
street. On Pine aud Rush Streets there are
numerous evidences Of the violence Of the
storm. The house OF Mr: Henry ". King, on
Rush street, had o bad handling. The root was
broken in and considerable injury done to the
furniture. The damage done in this section,
though chiefly confined to trees, is still very
he1Yy.
