WIND AND LIGHTNING
DO GREAT DAMAGE
Electric Bolts Strike Numerous Chi
cago Buildings During a
Heavy Storm.

CHICAGO, Aug. IA severe wind
and rain storm passed over Chicago
this evening, doing much damage. In
Central Music Hall many of the win
dows We're blown out of the building
and scarcely an awning was left in any
part of the Masonic Temple. The storm
was accompanied by terrific lightning,
which struck a number of places.
Guests at the Avenue House, Evan
ton were seated at the dinner table
when lightning struck the electric light
wires which led into the dining-room.
A combination gas and electric light
fixture was burned out and the current
played about the ceiling until it had
melted the fixture from it's fastenings.
The gas escaped with full force and
burned furiously. The flames were ex-
tinguished by the Fire Department.
The most disastrous work of the
storm was the destruction of the skele-
ton of st. Joseph Polish Catholic
Church, at Southport and Bell avenues,
where the wind wrought damage
amounting to SIS, 900. No lives were lost
in the collapse of the tons of steel
girders.
Late tonight it is reported that Stan
ley E. McGlew and companion were
drowned during the storm. They were
sailing in a small boat off Jackson
Park and it was capsized by the wind.
Several vessels in the harbor were
partly dismantled
