BIT OF EVERYTHING
My, How the Wintry Blasts

Yesterday.

A little bit OF everything" was what
the weather man handed out to Gary
yesterday. and before the day was over
its citizens knew they had tasted OF
the four seasons of the year
There was a general hurry I'D call
for overcoats and heavy wraps and

mapping and had to be satisfied with
several years back creation For the
poor it was dismal Sunday. The
deather took a decided turn about
O'Clock yesterday afternoon after sew
eraI hours of downpour and drizzling
rain.
The mercury then gradually sank in
the tube and the first snow Of the sea
son took place. 1t was then that the
wind turned to the north and the biting
blasts continued throughout the even
ing and night.
SO heavy was the gale that blew in
Gary that several persons were seen to
be swept Off their feet around windy
corners. and hats were blown off and
sent rolling down the street
The streets were comparatively de-
serted all day except for the general
traffic of mill workers. who hurried to
and from the mills in the biting winds.
In the afternoon but few people ven
tured out and those who did did not
tarry long in neighborly conversations.
but hurried on about their business.
Those who did not have to come out
sought the nice coy corners OF their
homes.
Today the coal man has been he
sieged with orders for fuel. and the
hardware men are doing a big BUSH
ness in stoves and small heaters. The
sudden change of weather from the
comparatively mild weather of the past
monthly caught many people mapping,
and they had TO suffer as a result

DAMAGE BY STORM.
IN THE WESTERN STATES LOSS
BY STORM in PROPERTY LARGE
AND. SOME LIVES.

Chicago, Jan. 3O.-The storm of
sleet, snow and rain, which swirled
all along, by high wind during the
last twenty-four hours, has prostrated
telegraph and telephone wires, stalled
trains. wrecked buildings and isolated
whole communities, struck Chicago
last night, and was reported central
in the vicinity of Detroit r
The day was long fight by tele-
graph and railroad companies to re-
store wires and resume stalled trains.
A passenger train, with neither din
er nor sleeper, was reported missing
from La Crosse, as was another train
which started to its relief. The best
information obtainable at La Crosse
was that both trains were stuck in the
snow in South Dakota. -
st. Louis.-Robert Mccormack, the
oldest member of the police force,
was blown from the fifteen-foot high
porch of his home and probably fatal
ly hurt in the storm yesterday.
At Madison, H., Erwin Mikesell,
blinded by the snow yesterday, failed
to notice an approaching train and
was ground to death beneath the
wheels. In the same town Charles
Jackowitch was swept from his feet
by the gale and fell so heavily that
his neck was broken.

PRESIDENT GOMEZ.

The oath of Office was administered
to President Gomez and Vice Presi-
dent Zayas by President Barreiro Of
the supreme court of Cuba in the
presence of great throng of Cubans
and Americans and other foreigners.
Today is a general holiday through
/ out Cuba and from all the six states
men prominent in the political, com
mercial and social life of the island
have gathered to attend the Inaugural
ton. The principal officers of the
American troops still in Cuba, re-en-
forced by the officers of the Ameri-
can warships in the harbor, made q
brave showing in their dress uniforms
The Inauguration ceremonies were
preceded by a parade of the rural
guards and other Cuban troops, in
which the American soldiers did not
participate, as it was thought that
their presence in the procession might
recall too strongly the fact that for
more than two years the island has
been under foreign domination.
Word of the taking of the oath of
Office by President Gomez was sent
to the American battleships. Imme
diately the shores of the harbor began
to echo with the reports of a presi
Dental salute fired in honor of the
new president by the three vessels.
The booming of the guns was greeted
with applause by the crowds of Gu
bans, who hailed it as the sealing of
the official recognition by the United
States of the new government.

SURVIVORS OF
SEA TRAGEDY
BROUGHT TO NEW YORK, THOU
SANDS CHEER AS 1850 PASSEN-
GERS OF ILL-FATED REPUBLIC
REACH PORT.

New York, Jan. 26.-Less than 72
hours after the crash between the
ocean liners, Republic and Florida, of
the Nantucket shoals, which eventual
ly sent one to the bottom and reduced
the other to a state of staggering
helplessness, the survivors Of this
thrilling, deep-sea tragedy, have found
haven at last.
1850 passengers from the two yes
sells are safe in this port, brought here
by the Baltic, while nearing it were
the rescued officers and crew of the
Republic, safe on board the derelict-
destroyer Seneca, to which they were
transferred from the revenue cutter
Gresham, after staying up to the last
moment by their sinking vessel.
At her dock in Brooklyn was the
battered Florida, aboard which her
crew had remained throughout the
trying experiences.
Only the ill-fated Republic was want
ing to complete the list. And she, too,
was in port-her last port of call,
what will doubtless prove her final
resting place beneath S3 fathoms of
water, Is miles south of the Nantuck-
ct south shoals lightship.
