It was estimated that there were not fewer than 5,000 poles in the city thrown down by the fury of the wind and storm. Service almost as far west as Omaha was stopped until late this evening. Trains entering Chicago were delayed all the way from ten minutes to one hour. The Burlington and the Milwaukee and St Paul companies were the worst sufferers in this respect.
