Chicago, II!.,(Spccial).—One of the most severe storms this city has known in many years, pitted over Chicago the other night. Great damage was done in the urb| to the south of the city and siderable loss was sustained north of the city proper. One life is known to have been lost and many persons were

hurt.

The storm did not strike the business portion of the city in it* greatest The town of Indiana Harbor, twenty miles southeast of Chicago, on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern lilroad. was the heaviest sufferer. One man, B. Barker, the proprietor ’ a dry goods store, was killed, and fifteen persons who were in his store when the storm struck were injured, some of them seriously, although none of them is expected to die. Barker's

store was entirely demolished.

Eighteen residences were blown down and several persons were hurt

in the ruins of their homes.

It is almost impossible to obtain full details at nreaent because of the

hundred quarrywoekera em-l^hdilion of the telegraph and tele-

Locher flr phone wires, nearly all of them being sr««..« down for miles between Chicago and

Indiana Harbor.

The wires of the electric lines were knocked down and the power was shut off, making it impossible for anybody to reach the place save on the regular trains of the railroads running

through the place.

The number of people injured at Indiana Harbor will probably approximate twenty-five. All three of the hotels in the place were badly damaged, Green's Hotel, in particular, being wiecked. One two-story frame building was turned entirely over. The storm created havoc in the town of Hammond, Ind. A number of resi depces were badly damaged and tw< people were injured, but not faulty. One end of the large plant of the ReE ubfic IrdB and Steel Company was lown down, causing a loss of at

least $25/100.

A number of business houses unroofed,' and the city was in tout darkness. So many of the electric light »ires were blown down that the aifc horities compelled the_ company to shut off all power, lest lives might be lost through contact with live wires. In the freight yards of the roads running through Hammond great damage s done. Many cars were unroofed blown over, and the yards in many places mere piled with wreckage. In Grand Crossing, eight miles south of the center of the city, a number of buildings were wrecked, freight can bjown about the yards and the traAi of the railroads covered with debris tr such an extent that the majority of incoming trains were compelled ‘ " upon their passengers to assist moving the wreckage from the tracks 1 that the trains could proceed. To the north of the city the storm as also severe, much danuge having been done in the suburbs of Evanston, Rogers Park and Thornton.
