Great Damage and inconvenience
Caused by the SnOwstOrm.
CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-The snowstorm of
last night and this morning was the worst
in this city for years. The greatest dam
age as we'll as inconvenience was caused
by the breaking down of telegraph and tele-
phone wires. In this respect the damage
was widespread, 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 trou-
BILE with the city fire alarm system. The
street car service, which last night was
badly delayed and totally suspended on
some of the lines, was in better running
order to-day. The companies, by keeping
the snow plows and sweepers going all
night managed TO keep their lines open.
All the incoming trains on all the roads
were from one to four hours late station
Master Clitchers, of the Union Depot, said
Sc turday night was one of the worst laii-
roading nights he had ever known. On ac-
count of breaking down of the telegraph
wlleS, they were totally at sea as TO the
whereabouts of the trains. The storm was
attended by curious electrical displays In
several sections of the city, and the atmos-
pl.cre seemed to be filled with elecrricity
which evidently came from the numerous
O'Clock in the morning the night was pc
culiarly light.
Dispatches from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois
and Wisconsin report much damage by the
storm, but no serious loss of life.

LONDON, Jan. 24.-The Morning Post
publishes dispatch from Prof. Lockyer,
dated Rajapur India, saying that sixty
spectrum photographs were secured of the
SUMS eclipse Some of these have been
already developed, and are found to ex-
hibit changes in the aspect of the chono-
sphere second by second at each of the four
contacts. The dispatch says the weather
was perfect, and that Lord Graham S
cinematograph work proved quite success
full.
A dispatch from Bombay says: The
eclipse of the sun was accompanied here
by rapid fall Of temperature. An earthly
smell pervaded the air. and the scene re-
sembled a landscape under a wintry Eng
lish sun. The duration of totality was two
minutes, with marvellous corona of pale
silver and blue The conditions were ia
vorable at both Prof Sir Norman Lockyer's
camp near Vzdarocg (on the Malabar
coasD, and at Prof. Campbells camp, near
Jour. The native astronomers predicted
terrible calamities. The natives swarmed
to devotional exercises, and there was gen.
eral fasting but no alarm. The Nizam of
Hyderabad liberated fifty prisoners, giving
each a gift of money and clothes.

Three Deaths from Exposure.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, JAM 23-River men
reaching port to-day say last nights storm
was the worst on the river IN twenty years.
A house boat occupied by George Atkinson
and his two young daughters just above
the city was swamped during the night and
the occupants took refuge in large skiff.
The boat was anchored to a tree near the
bank, but the land around it was overfiowed
for half mile in all directions. When the
unfortunates took refuge in the skim the
darkness and the storm evidently bewil-
dered them, for they never reached the
shore. To-day their skiff was found float
ing near their swamped home half filled
with water and the three occupants dead
in the bottom Of the little craft. They died
from exposure.
The storm resulted in damage to the ex-
tent of several hundred dollars to property
in this city. There was a high wind during
the entire night, with occasional fall OF
sleet and rain. The wind began at
velocity of thirty-four miles an hour, and
at midnight had attained a rate of fifty
miles an hour. The most serious damage
was the unroofing of the woolen mills, with
considerable damage to stock from water,
and the sinking of several barges of coal.

the way of breaking glass in store fronts.

NEW ALBANY, Ind, Jan. 23.-At 2:3O
o'clock this morning two spans of the Belt
& Terminal trestle, which runs along the
river front, gave way under freight train,
and Conductor John Burke, of this city,
and Brakeman Harry Miller, of Louisville,
were killed and Engineer Henry Murphy,
of Jeffersonville, and Fireman Charles
Hand, of Louisville, were badly injured. 1t
is thought the trestle gave way through
the constant jamming of coal barges and
docks against it since the high water. The
switch engine had been transferring cars
from the Airline to the Kentucky and In
diana Bridge Company's yards, and was
making the last run. The four men were
in the engine, which dropped into ten feet
of water. Burke and Miller were buried
under the engine. Hand and Murphy
jumped and escaped with serious injuries.
Brrke's body was found about hour
after the accident. Miller's body was not
found until o'clock this morning. The
wreckage has not yet been removed, and
the trestle cannot be repaired for several
weeks, or until the water recedes. The
Airline Company, which recently pur-
chased the trestle, will use the Pennsyl-
vania and Monon tracks to get into Louis
ville At IL o'clock last night an inspector
passed over the trestle and saw no evidence
of any weakness. The high wind, more
severe than for several years, dashed the
river crafts against the trestle with great
violence, and several of them were sunk.
