Gale Devastates Chicago Area Damaging Railworks and Homes
A fierce late winter gale battered Chicago and suburbs with rain and winds that felled machine shops and roundhouses of the Rock Island Railroad, moved houses off foundations, toppled chimneys, and scattered signs. Property losses exceed $100,000 with extensive private damage. Hibernian St Patrick celebrations were chaotic yet festive despite winds.

Andrew Johnson and testing safes as a crime defense
A quotation heavy snippet recounts Andrew Johnson and allies arguing that probing lock strength or attempting to enter the War Office to test constitutional obstacles was merely an experiment. It notes that such acts would be treated as criminal and mocks the defense as audacious or foolish. References Brick Pembroy and the Petersburg Index critique postwar Confederate flag politics.
