Rains-Htgh Water on the Ohio Causes
Loss Of Life - Floods In the Rivers
Threaten Damage to the Lowlantls.
Chicago, Jan. 24.-The snow storm Of
Saturday night and yesterday morning
was the wcSst in the city for years.
Inc greatest damage as well as incon-
venience was caused by the breaking
down Of telegraph and telephone wires
In this respect the damage was wide
spread, and in all parts Of the city
poles and wires were brought to the
ground. The police telephone system
was badly crippled and there was much
trouble with the city fire alarm system.
The street car service, which Saturday
night was badly delayed, and totally
suspended on some lines, was in better
running order yesterday. The COM
panies, by keeping snow-plows and
sweepers going all night managed to
keep their lines open.
ASyeO n;ISOc Win Train schedules
All the incoming trains on all roads
were from one to four hours late. Sta
ton Master Clithers, OF the Union sta
ton, said Saturday night was one Of
the worst railrOading nights he had
ever known. On account of the break
ing down Of telegraph wires they were
at sea as to the Whereabouts of trains.
The storm at Milwaukee was the most
severe which has visited the city in
years. Snow to the depth of eighteen
inches has fallen there. and with the
wind blowing at the rate of fifty miles
per hour great drifts were formed in all
parts of the city, making travel almost
an impossibility. Railroad trains came
in very irregularly and only passenger
trains. each with the aid of several To-
comotives, attempted to get through.
The storm was general all over Wiscon-
sin.
