rMr. Max Vogt .has rerdered the oldr
walls of his once namlsome buildings
l braced, and workmen ihetoday engaged
in making them safe.
The funeral of Wm. DeWolf occurred
this afternoon from the residence and
was largely attended. The Odd Fellows
officiated at the burial.
The high wind which blew last night
tumbled dawn a brick chimney of the
residence occupied by Rev. I. H. Hazel,
which awakened the family. The chim
ney was about six feet high and the fall
was sufficient to jar the house.
A lady was heard to remark last even
ing that she did not like the "Uncle
Josh" show at all; it was not interest
ing; that in the sawmill scene she had
to close her eyes she was so much afraid
the old man would be too slow to rescue
the lady moving into the saw teeth.
The wife of a well-known citizen was
bathing her feet at the unearthly hour
- the brick wall fell this morning, and
hearing the crash, supposed it was fire.
Prompt to the rescue, she withdrew her
feet, grasped the pail, and threw th.e
contents in tbe stove she was sitting by.

cense, when life was gay as the poet's
rhyme and the heart was light as the
eider down. At any rate, as the bridal
procession filed out and away there was
a wistful expression on the faces of
those who remained, and unbroken
silenc3 gave, consent to their various
ruminations.
The remains of Clarence V. Lane of
Antelope, who died Feb. 3d, were
brought to this city last evening and
will be interred in the Odd Fellows
cemetery tomorrow (Thursday) at 2
o'clock." Deceased was 39 years old,

A
FALLING
WALL.
Peril of
Mr.
and Mrs. Hogan Tlieir
Property Destroyed.
Mr. J. J. Hogan and wife were rudely
awakened from slumber about 2:30
o'clock this morning by being euddenly
thrown from their bed, tbe floor of their
room sinking three feet in an instant,
while the noise of the falling walls of
their domicile, the crash of breaking
dishes, the creaking, twisting' and turn
ing of demolished woodwork, furniture
and apparatus apprised them that some
thing terrible out of the ordinary had
happened. .
Such was indeed . the fact. The
skeleton brick wall adjoining their house
had given way with the "violence of the
wind, which at that hour amounted al
most to a gale, and the solid mass of
mortar and brick found little resistance
in its earthward descent by the com
paratively feeble barrier interposed by
Mr. Hogan's structure. The forward
part of the dwelling fell prostrate to the
ground, completely destroying all the
valuable photographic apparatus, plates
and fixtures. The remainder of the
house, though standing, is destroyed as
completely. It has been wrenched and
tristed, broken and torn, till it is fit
only for kindling wood.
A reporter visited Mr. Hogan's de
molished premises this morning and
found things in a sorry plight. Here
was chaos exemplified. Broken crockery
and bric-a-brac, valuable pictures and
kitchen furniture, torn carpets and
splintered boards, a tireless stove, broken
windows, all contributed to an extreme
cneerlessness which seemed greater, if
possible, by contrast with what it had
been a moment before. The Chronicle
man found Mr. Hogan in a much more
hopeful state of mind than might be sup-
losed. While he deplored the loss of
ia goode, it was lost to sight by his
hankfulness to Providence that himBelf
nd wife were not instantly killed.
rs. Hogan alone sustained some slight
bruises by her experience, but life and
limbs are spared them, and a feeling of
gratitude was uppermost in their minds
that it was no worse. He expressed a
determination to re-engage in the same
business, but will be compelled to pur
chase everything again from the founda
tion up. . .
The wall which fell is the remains of
a brick store owned by Mr. Sherar, for
merly Mr. E. P. FitzGerald's, which
perished in the great Dalles fire of 1892,
and recalls the death of Michael Dia
mond, who perished by fire at tbe time
in the same building. .

"Uncle Josh Sprnceby.1
The "Uncle Josh Sprnceby" troupe
as ereeted with a full bouse last even
ing, and they deserved it. The play
iB one of a species purely American
4 Inch, well rendered, never fails of ap
preciation. Though the plot is neither
deep nor intricate, it serves admirably
to introduce several thrillinz situations.
is well as pleasing novelties, often ap
proaching the vaudevjlle.
Mr. Burt Hodkifts in the title role
well portrays the unsophistocated Yan
kee farmer, both in his borne surround
ings and bis confident, yet timid, entry
into urban life. He avoids a tendency
of the times to vulgarize the part, or
"play to the galleries," and gives a
natural, truthful counterpart of his
adopted character.
The part of "Luke Fay" by Frank
Holstead, who leads "Uncle Josh's"
daughter away from her rural home to
the city, was well sustained. "Hank
Mont," a city sport, was cleverly taken
by Maurice Haynes, who invested tbe
character with a sprightliness and dash
seldom equalled, and makes a capital
foil tor the villian.
Chief among the specialties is the
skirt dancing of Miss Pearl Height, most
gracefully executed, and the marvelous
gun and baton spinning of Major
O'Laughlin. As to the latter the claim
is probably truthfully made that he is
unexcelled in the world.
Tbe sawmill scene easily takes first
place among the scenic effects and con
stitutes the most thrilling climax of the
play. An innocent and abused young
wife is thrown before the real whirling
saw that is really sawing real boards,
and before she is rescued is so near the
rasping teeth of the saw that the audi
ence involuntarily shudders as they
witness seemingly impending and awful
death. Very strong in this act is Frank
Holstead, whose glaring eyes., ghastly
contortions of countenance and fiendish
malignity so well portray the supposable
conduct of a multi-murderer. -
AS a whole the cast is well-balanced,
and supplemented by a fine orchestra of
nine pieces, is well worthy of patronage
in any center of population. v
