Chicago Dec. 14.-Chicago experienced to-day
and tonight of the most severe cold snaps
record for the early part OF the winter The
weather Office predicted early in the day that 1t
would prove the most severe weather that the
city had felt for twenty-five years in the month
of December. and tonight no flaws can be found
in the prediction.
Three deaths were reported to the police in
course of the day as having been caused by the
cold The dead are: John Grammer, a team
ster; John Hays. no occupation, died from ex-
posrre: an unidentified man, who dropped dead
at Kinsey and Wells SITS: death caused. accord
ing to physicians. by heart failure, superin-
duced by the cold.
At daylight this morning the mercury at the
weather office stood at s below zero, and the
highest point reached during the day was q be-
low at 6 a. m. In the evening the temperature
began to fall, and at a. m. it was below. The

traction companies. and many of the streetcar
lines had much difficulty in running cars. The
storm of last night was at first rain and later
sIeet and then snow The rain and sleet froze
on the trolley wires and the rails. making
il almost impossible in places to move the cars.
The elevated roads, all of which operate with
the third rail. we're in bad shape all morning
because of ice. and it was found necessary to
send out men to remove all the ice frorS the
third rail before any speed could be made with
the cars The ice and snowdrifts also caused
delay TO the railroads many trains, particularly
those from the West, being from thirty minutes
to two hours behind time.
The railroads operating suburban lines were
not able TO land their passengers with any ap-
proaCh to regular schedules. In some instances
the trains were not able to make more tharl
three miles an hour, and they were run at lr-
regular intervals -
In the large downtown stores, where Christ

SUFFER FROM WIND AND RAIN.

SUFFER FROM WIND AND RAIN
This city for a time last night was in a pc
culiar position. With the knowledge of the ap-
proach Of a storm extending clear across the
country in 4 northerly and southerly direction, It
could not be told how fast the centre was NOV
ing eastward Owing TO the rain west Of the city
and in southwesterly direction, the leakage of
electric current from the telegraph and tele-
phone wires was great that it was next to
impossible 10 transmit messages. It was with
difficulty that dispatches were received from
Washington. and it said that there was but
wire which would work to Atlanta Toward
New-Orleans and beyond Pittsburg it was I'M
possible time to get messages through.
The local weather bureau did not receive It's
usual 10 o'clock Washington forecast until haIt
an hour after the usual time. All that the local
bureau could say about the approach of the
storm centre that dispatch from Scranton
received early in the evening, giving reading OF
the barometer, showed that the centre was
that city than this.
For three days the trough Of the storm has
been moving eastward from the valley Of the
Mississippi In advance of 1t has moved wave
of warm air. Yesterday the local temperature
ranged between 81 degrees at a. m. and Do
degrees at p. m. Following in the train OF
the storm centre is a crest of cold air rushing
in behind the warm 1t is a very cola
wave according to all reports last night Inc
belated weather forecast said that we are 10
get some of it to-day, and that it Will turn the
rain into snow. 1t was expected last night that
the storm trough would pass over this city some
time early this morning. Yesterday afternoon
the weather west of a line drawn north ana
south from Chicago was clear and cold.
The clear weather is expected to reach mere
tomorrow. accompanied by brisk northwest
winds 1t will be safe to count on of the
coolest waves yet felt here, unless something
which has not yet appeared on the horizon
steers 1t off.
If one had Judged by the sound last night he
would have said that a hurricane was tearing
through the city. Windows ratified. the Wlho
howled. and the rain drove against the glass
with the ferceness and rapdity of Gatling gun
fire. The weather man. however, said that II
