CHrcAeo, ILL.,, December 28.-The dag
has been of extreme discomfort to pedes
TRANS in this city. A heavy sleet began
falling early in the forenoon aud continued
witAont interruption until this afternoon,
covering everything with ice. The telegraph
wires in many instances gave way under
this lead and the basiness Of the telegraph
companies was conducted with more than
usual difficulty. Communication With al
the principal points was maintained, how
ever. Toward evening the rain began ALI
ing heaYy which added to the general dis
comfors IN the city, converting the snow
in the streets into slush and making al
kinds Of street loco1oiion hazardous and
disagreeable. Stories Of o similar condition
Of affairs throughout the entire West come
in. Trains are nearly all running behind
time, the condition Of the rails masking .
high rate Of speed isspossible. In this city
considerable damage has already been re-
ported from the leaking and eollapsing Of
roofs, oeeasioned BY the unusually heavy
loads Of ice and water they were 50 sud
denly called upon to carry.
