FIectric-Cars to Barton Heights.

The Clay street electric-line is to be ex-
tended over the viaduct TO Barton Heights
with ffteen-minute service and a i've
cent fare to any part of the city. This ls
one of the greatest enterprises of the day,
and will make Barton Heights, with its
healthy location. beautiful scenery, cool
breezes, and other advantages. the most
desirable residential portion of the city.
We say city, because while it has all the
comforts of the country, it Is nearer to the
City Hall than either the East or West
End, and the direct line of tho electric
cars across the bridge will make it but a
few minutes ride. With the iron viaduct.
electric-cars, and a straight, level route to
this beautiful and fourishing suburb pro-
perty will advance at an astonishing rate.
and those who to-day attend the auction
and secure one of the Bridge Company 8
lots at the low price and easy terms they
propose to sell them will indeed be tortu-
nate.

prisoned. number were injured, one person
dangerously. The rink also WAS blown down, but
those inside managed 90 escape without injury.
Had the storm come few moments later many
would have been IN this building and the loss OF
life would surely have been large.
THE TEMPEST TERRIBLE.
The roar OF the storm ~ described as terrible.
It was accompanied by midnight darkness and
an awful sweep OF wind that carried everything
before IL. Nearly eyery business house along
the principal street was unroofed and tho STOCKS
OF goods we're badly damaged by water, Wnicn
poured down. following the tornado.
The Chicago Burlington and quincy round
