PAIR OF CHICAGO BILLIARDS..
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Until to-day nothing was
really known of the extent of damage perpe-
trated by yesterdays storms. Since the estab=
lishment Of the city such q pair Of billiards
have never visited this section. The morning
storm dropped more water and executed per-
haps more pluvial vengeance than the later
in in good shape and did more business than
the ordinary bucolic visitor.
EARLY in the morning the sky was pictureque.
The clouds were banked in high mountains in
the southwest, and hung low enough to touch
with an umbrella. Smoke from the chimneys
swept downward through the streets, and the
air was fearfully oppressive. Towards the
north and in the northwest the sky bril-
liant green, and ftful gusts few in from every
quarter, held caucuses and sent messengers in
every direction to whip in delegates for the
grand convention.
At about IL o'clock everything was in readi-
ness and the elements combined for the grand
est meteorological demonstration of the season.
In fifteen minutes the convention adjourned.
but it had done as much damage during that
time as the Radical party and the yellow fever
combined. Tons upon tons of water fell.
Hailstones as big as a Minneapolis girls fist
ratified like cannon balls, and windows. chin
ney-pots, signs and general deviltry
'streaked the pale all" as far as the eye could
| see, and the thoroughfares were filed with
| mashed and shattered wagons, carts, buggies
! and hacks.
| 1t is estimated that the damage to running
gear and horses will reach $25,000. The roof
of the exposition building was blown in, and
about sl2 900 IN damage was done to the yari-
GUS articles on display. Among the other
hou ses was Brewsters, the halter, and Brewster
was seriously injured. A $500 pane of glass
in the store of NJ SELF was blown far enough
to meet Bubby Hale, and on the west side the
| fronts of houses, and the north sides of the
streets, and the backs of houses On. the south
Sides looked pretty much as the Radical party
| felt when the news came from Maine.
| Altogether the damage to the city amounts to
between 100000 and $400, 1000, not counting in
the beer consumed, (for which no recompense
was offered) by the citizens, who sought their
general resorts to escape personal danger.
MAIL JUMPED.
FORT FETTERMAN, Wy, Sept. 26.--The mail
from Mckinney was; jumped this afternoon
about twenty-five miles north of here by

| The horses and arms of the cavalrymen were
taken, and the mail thoroughly ransacked

and at Mckinney, were passengers on the mail
wagon, but having been robbed of upwards of
$500 few days before, while on their way from
