Four Drowned at Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 10-Chicago was Wis
tied at $50 o'clock yesterday afternoon
by the most terrific storm it has expert
enced for several years. The wind
blew almost hurricane and the rain
fell in torrents. The storm gathered
in the north and west with marvellous
quickness. Nobody was looking for it.
All at once It was here and the next
minute it was swooping over the city,
leveling trees and spreading death and
destruction among many pleasure boats
which were out upon Lake Michigan.
Owing to the beautiful weather dur
ing the morning and afternoon these
were more numerous than usual. Many
narrow escapes from death were ex.
perienced, but so far as known the loss
of life is limited to four, all of them lost
by the capsizing Of the sailing yacht
Chesapeake, which was overturned
about two miles from shore. The party
on the boat consisted of nine people
and of these four were drowned. The
dead are: Ethel Chase, 16 years old, OF
Boston, Mass; Harry NARROW, II. NJ.
Cornice and Themistocles Timbalis.
Those who were rescued are: George
Gray, Edith Champion, William Avery,
Fred Avery and William Elliott.
The Chesapeake was a well-built
yacht and was owned by the Avery
brothers. The party had been out dur
ing the afternoon enjoying the sailing.
The sudden fury of the storm, however.
gave them no chance, and they were ir

by terrific noise. There are those

panic stricken. They ran out
OF their houses and filed up the streets,
crying and shouting till struck
by the timbers or whirling trees.
Gov. Boies arrived yesterday after.

The governor said the situation was
far worse than he had expected. He
ordered more tents from DeS Moines,
and said he would have a company or
more of soldiers on the grounds The in
tense heat made it impossible to keep
the bodies of the dead, and those who
were not claimed by relatives or friends
and by them buried or taken away by
noon were placed in the graveyard by
the officials. Forty graves were dug
and filed with dead up to o'clock last
evening At that hour the fitting Ian

that the work of burial was still going
on.

He Had No Gizzard.

The burglarwas not a bad look.
ing man, although his business
had bad look.
He stood by the door ola sleep
ing-room and peered in.
A faint light was burning and
he could hear the measured
breathing of someone asleep.
Cautiously he crept inside,
STOPPING low. and looked around.
No one there save a sleeping
woman.
In an instant a cloth satur-
ated with either was thrown over
her face, and he waited one, two,
three-ten minutes. and the
stentorian breathing of the sleep.
er told him the drug was doing
its work.
With a dexterous hand he
seized the iewelry and money ly-
ing on the dressing case and be-
gan to search the drawers of the
case.
10000" came a voice from
the shadows of the room.
Quick as a flash the burglar
clutched his silent knife and
turned to meet his victims.
No one was visible.
100000 came the voice
again, aud the burglar saw a
child in its crib by the foot of
the bed.
1t was pretty baby, sleepily
holding up its hands to him.
He lie, his knife fall to his side
and stepping over to he crib,
touched the child.
1t cooed again softly and held
up its arms for him to take it.
The impulse was beyond his
control, and he lifted the baby
to his bosom and it nestled its
soft white cheek down to his and
put its white arm about his neck
He purred to 1t, and in a mo
ment its curly head was laid
against his face and it was asleep
again.
Never seen kid like that
he whispered to himself. Most
of UNI is afraid of strangers, and
tenderly he laid it in the crib.
Then he went back to the
dressing case.
He stood still a moment and
then looked furtively over his
shoulder toward the crib.
The sleeping face of the child
was turned toward him.
Slowly he replaced on the case
all he had taken from it, hastily
snatched from the woman's face
the saturated cloth, opened a
window near the bed and quietly
slipped down stairs.
Once on the street again he
looked up at the house hungrily.
Dang itm he growled, "a man
that amt got no more gizzard
than 1 have ought to git out of
the business.
And he disappeared into the
shadows Of the night.
