night after very warm and oppressive
day. In the midst of the storm Mrs.

eight miles northwest of Dubuque, was
called. from her residence tn the depot
near by to get orders for train which
had Just arrived. She took her four
children with her and was at work when

valley carried away the bridge, then the
residence then the depot, which was
borne down stream 11a miles. The four

Floods Easements.
Chicago. May 25.-A storm Of wind,
rain, thunder and lightning struck Chi
cago at two o'clock Monday morning.
The wind at times attained the velocity
of hurricane. and the lightning was
'incessant. Over an inch of water fell
in less than ten minutes, which amount.
ed to cloudburst. The sewers were
unable to carry off the water, and as
a result Easements all over the city
were flooded. The pressrooms of three
morning papers were flooded by water
backing up from the sewers, and fire
engines had to be called to pump out
the water before the second editions
could be sent to press. Much minof
damage from wind and lightning is re.
ported from all over the city, but nc
fatalities resulted so far as heard of.
Telegraph Wires Down.
The storm extended south of Chicago
into Will and Kankakee counties, anO
all telegraph wires are down in the vi
cinity of Joliet and Kankakee, cutting
off communication with the centra
parts of the state. It is not unlikely
that reports of serious damage will b<
received from that section when the
wires get to working again.
On the lake the storm raised a ire
mendous sea, but as the direction of the
wind was generally from the west nc
vessels were reported in trouble on this
side of the lake. There is every probo

heard of on the eastern shore.

tied by tornado at an early hour Mon

was killed and buried beneath pile OF
debris. The smokestack stood 125
feet high. The station is complete
wreck. At the asylum proper the build.
ing was considerably damaged, but no
one was seriously injured. The roof OF
the Elgin Bicycle &, Sewing Machine
Works was torn off and the building
practically ruined.
At Clintonville, ILL.,, one mile from
here, the storm was very severe, but it
only struck one corner of the town,
wrecking an immense -four mill. All
