Thick Weather Tonight.

New YORK, Dec. l3-The Pacific de
preston which was noted two days ago
as entering Southern California, and
which would probably move TO the east
ward and become "a severe cyclone,''
produced very heavy rainfals in Texas
and the lower Mississippi Valley last
evening. The storm centre was then near
Vicksburg, whence IL Is likely TO travel
ing in energy aud gradually extending it's
influence over all the country from the
Mississippi Valley TO the Atlantic coasts.
While tue storm will not strike directly
at the Atlantic coast, and will probably
make quite an extensive curve before IL
reaches here, it promises considerable dis
turbances, dangerous winds and thick
weather tonight or tomorrow from Cape
