CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE storm CEN
trail in the southwest for a number of
days has struck Chicago. 1t began
with sleet and turned later to snow and
rain. Telegraph service west and south

through the coating of ice on wires
and made contact possible.
The heavens were lighted by brilliant
flashes Of electricity as trains on the
elevated roads struggled against the
sleet. A thin coating Of Ice formed
over the third rail and the flashes re-
made on all roads.
