tend the theatre last night when
taken I'll. He was better in the morn
ing and was preparing to go to King
ston, n. Y, to fill an engagement
when he was again attacked. He died
shortly after being removed to his
room from the hotel lobby. Mr.. Dick

received from his children there. His
wife died a number OF years ago.
| Chicago, Jan. 3.-Joseph E. G. Ryan

at the Congress hotel. He died of
heart disease some time between
early New Years morning and 3
O'Clock yesterday. He had a national
reputation as a publicity expert, and
was an authority on golf and auto
mobiling, but his thousands of friends
knew him best as a man of rare wit

any one else. They crowned him
king of good fellows. He was AZ years
old and a widower.

PICKUPs FROM THE
BIG LEAGUE FIELDS

Dick Hoblitzell may yet per-
suade the Red bosses to remit his
fine. A homer and two singles in
one game constitute some areu-
ment.
Nap Lsjoie will be peeved for a
week. His four singles in the Sec
ond game against st. Louis would
ordinarily look big, but Jackson,
hitting just ahead Of him in the
order, made him look weak In
comparison. Three OF Jaekson's
four hits were good for three
bases. Only one was stlngy
enough to yield one base.
Dick Esan. the Red second base
man, does not often straishten out
for long drive, but he hooked q
triple at Sallee's expense.

Interurban Railway Line and

During Storm.

OGDEN, Feb. 2l,-Thc Ogden Rapid
Transit company and the Mountain
States Telephone & Telegraph company
were the greatest sufferers as result
Of the high wind which has been sweep
ing down from the mountains for the
past sc hours Tho interurban service
between Ogden and Brigham City was
badly crippled throughout the day,
while telephone wires are down in all
parts of tho city.
Early today the wind. which has
been more severe to the north. car
ricd down number of poles which sup
port the trolley wire of the electric
line. For distance OF about hall
mile between Hot Springs and Brig
ham tho trolley was blown 10 the
ground. The wrecking crew and large
force Of rcpairmen were rushed 10 the
scene but for several hours II was nee
cssary for passengers 10 walk some
distance from ono ear TO another.
Brigham City is without telephone
connections 10 the south rs a result
of the trunk lines being down. The
damage to telephone lines throughout
the cit-- il widespread. but the light
ing companies believe that they have
sustained very little damage.
Since / clock last night The wind
has blown > terrific gale from the
north, So far the damage, other than
10 pole lines. has been confined TO the
blowing down OF billboards, chimneys,
trees. etc. Fear is entertained that
this. The first severe wind Of the sea
son, may blow down the two remain
ing walls Of the Eccles ruins, corner of
Washington avenue and Twenty.fourth
street. Employees of the buildings IN
tho vicinity OF the ruins have put in n
uervc-rackiug day, believing that every
renewed gust Of wind will bring the
impending disaster. As the walls are
five stories in height the mass of brick
and stone would crush several build
far the wind has carried down only a
few pieces Of loose brick and stone.
