CHICAGO, ILL.,, April AT about $50

been threatening all the afternoon, be-
came black as night, and in another
minute terrible cIoudburst occurred.
The wind blew at a hurricane rate, and
drove the rainin sheets along the streets,
sweeping every movable object before
it. The wind was of cyclone force, and
at the corner of Halsted and Pierce
streets tore down house and killed
three people. Serious damage is re-
ported in various parts of the CITY.

was new and that the mortar was
scarcely dry; is sufficient reason for it's
collapse, be says, when such high
wind struck it. The loss from the de-
struction Of the building is about ss5

A Queer Situation.

New YORK, April Sit is very difficult
to-day to find saloon in this city to
which admittance could be gained. The
few that did remain open had "look-
get in. The most frequenied places
down town were closed, and men
might be seen singly aud in groups 60
ing from saloon to saloon in vain search
for drink. 1t was probably the dryest
Sunday New York has ever seen. Most
of the bars were closed, but in some of
them drinks were served with crackers
and cheese at tables. It is said that the
closing of the saloons at II O'Clock last
night and to-day is due to the orders Of
the police.
