THE RECORD BREAKER.
Zero Weather for Eighty-four Hours in
the Windy City-Relief Work Con-
tinues and Thousands Receive Aid.

Chicago, Jan 27-There was an appre-
ciable moderation of the temperature in
Chicago today, but zero weather and be-
low was the best that could be done and
the same is promised for tomorrow. The
record for continuous temperature below
zero for this city was broken by a run
of eighty-four consecutive hours, from
1 a. M Jan. "a to D. m. today with which
here the zero mark was officially recorded
at the Auditorium tower. During the
previous twelve hours of the day the
thermometer had ranged between and
below zero.
At two o'clock this afternoon one de-
gree above was welcomed, and the same
temperature continued for three hours.
The zero weather and below are the
prospects for colder weather tomorrow.
Snow fell lightly today and into the
night, being driven by a wind which
made the fine snow source of great dis
comfort.
The police continued their effective
work of providing instant temporary re-
lief to the thousands in want. Twice as
many cases were attended to than yes
terday, the total number of people given
food, clothing and fuel being estimated
at 10000.
The letter carriers are aiding the po-
lice in finding deserving onss in their dis
tricts. The mayors fund now amounts
to $4,000 in money and value of sup
plies, about $4,000 cash having been re-
ceived by the treasurer alone. Many
thousand dollars have been given in the
last three days for distribution apart
from the mayors police relief scheme, as
a result of his proclamation.

AN IMPORTANT CAPTURE.
Forgers of Railroad Tickets Caught Dead

Forgers of Railroad Tickets Caught Dead
to Rights and Indicted.
Chicago. Jan. 27.-The grand jury to-
day indicted William A. Burns and
twelve others on a charge of victimizing
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad out of
thousands of dollars worth of transport
tation. Burns was the ring leader of
the plot. The men are alleged to have
forged tickets on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad The officials Of the road who
appeared before the grand jury had S4,-
900 worth of the forged tickets with them
and the plates from which they were
printed These tickets were sold to
scalpers, it is said, and hundreds of them
were used before the counterfeit was
discovered. The men engaged in the
wholesale forgery are said to have each
been employed around railroad offices
and all are familiar with railroad bust
ness.
1t is believed that the operations of the
men were not confined to forging tickets
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, but
that the forgeries extended to other rail-
roads.
