THE STORM AT CHICAGO.
A seven-Story Building Blown Down and
Three Persons Killed.


Seven-Story Building Blown Down and
Three Persons Killed. O
CHICAGO, April AT about $50
o'clock yesterday evening the sky,
which had been threatening all after
noon, became black as night and in an
other moment a terrible cloud burst oc-
CURED. The wind blew at a hurricane
rate and drove the rain in sheets along
the streets, sweeping every movable OBJ
ject before it. The wind was of cyclonic
force and at the corner of Halste1 and
Pearce streets tore down house and
killed three people. Serious damage is
reported in various parts of the city, but
it is not yet known If othsr casualties
have occurred.
The building at Halstead and Pearce
streets was seven-story brick struct-
ure. It was surrounded by one and
two-story frame and brick buildings,
the homes of laborers, and crashing up
on them instantly crushed out the lives
of three unfortunates and fatally or Sc
riously injured many others
Gus Dych, a teamster, while driving
along one of the streets in the path of
and severely bruised about the head and
SIiOulOcTS. SLdf1CS hSlSUeT, dC WOIK On
new building, was blown from scat
folding and sustained severe internal
injuries, which may result fatally.
The following are known to be buried
in the ruins of the Gowan house and
are undoubtedly dead:
Mrs. Sarah Gowan; William Gowan,
aged 10; Mrs. Mary Walsh; Samuel
Evisdale, of Joliet, III.
In two of the demolished houses up
set stoves set fire to the ruins, but be-
fore serious damage was done the flames
were extinguished.
At 10 Pearce street Thomas Allen
lived with his wife, his nine-year-old
daughter Lizzie, and his eighty-year-old
father-in-law, Jacob Jacquet. Miss Lo-
dena Roch was making a call on the
family at the time of the accident
When the place at No. 10 Pearce street
was struck it was thrown against the
Allen home. A marble slab pinned Mr..
Jacquet to the floor, but he soon re-
leased himself. Mrs. Allen and her
daughter were crushed under mass of
debris, but the former managed to re-
lease herself and her daughter.
Miss Roch was pinned to the floor by
mantel-piece and when she succeeded
in escaping from under it the dust was
so dense she could see nothing, and,
stumbling, she fell on the stove. In
her great fright she did not realize her
situation and was frightfully burned
before she was discovered by Mr.. Jacquet
and led from the building.

experts Of the south.

chalkiness on theleft lapel Of his coat.

thoughtfully, and as he looked he picked I'D the

She had dark hair.
She chatted on cheerily, and when she turned
her head to notice something in the car he

Immigrants New Be Shut out


1t seems to be the understanding in New
York that the United States Senate COM
mittee on immigration that has been hold
Jog sessions in that city for several weeks
has virtually agreed to report in favor Of
suspending immigration from all countries
except North and South America, for one
year, beginning from March ! next. The
purpose of the proposed suspension is in
tended to protect the country from an inva-
sion Of cholera. The opinion is entertained
by leading physicians in this country that
the cholera will make it's appearance in
Europe again next summer. In fact, it has
not yet disappeared from there. There
are cases of the disease almost daily
in Hamburg and other German cities, and
it has not been long since cases were re-
ported in cities in France.
II our ports should be kept open to immi-
grants it would be impossible TO keep
cholera out out of this country. however
strict the quarantine might be, If the disease
should become epidemic in the countries
from which the immigrants come. The
Senate committee on immigration, there
fore, thinks it would be much the wiser
plan to suspend immigration for year.
The position taken by the committee will
have the approval OF the entire country.
1t is impossible, of course, TO predict what
congress will do, but it is hardly
probable that it will do anything not
in harmony with public sentiment. There
will be a strong pressure brought to bear
upon congress, doubtless, to have the ports
kept open to immigrants, because il they
should be closed to them the steamship com
panies would be heavy losers, but, in a
matter Of such vital Importance to the
whole country, it would be folly to listen to
the steamship companies. Ii was only by
the most extraordinary vigilance that tbs
cholera was prevented from getting foot
hold In this country last summer.
A few cases of cholera in Chicago, Oh
even in New York, next summer woulC
damage the Columbian fair greatly, and ar
epidemic would ruin it financially and il
every other way. If the Senate committe,
recommends suspension of immigration
for enc year, as it is reported 1t will, and
congress approves the recommendation
there will be very few expressions Of dis
satisfaction
