DAY.

CeIebrated-HOnor to the Heroes
and Others of the Cities OF the
Dead.
Yesterday morning dswned bright and
fair. During the early hours il looked as
though the month OF flowers had reserved
her fittest day for the decorating OF the
graves of the fallen heroes. The streets
presented an unusually and rather unex-
pectedly lively appearance. Flags from a
number OF business and other houses
foated al half-mast to the breezes, and
the pesls OF the bells summoning the fire
laddies made manifest to all that our
mountain town was determined to do full
honor TO the heroes and others Of the
cities Of the dead. Several wagons from
peighboring ranches, loaded down with
the hardy sons of toll and their families,
added no little to the observances Of the
day, The line of march was formed in
front OF the Grand Army headquarters on
Main street and moved at ii o'clock, and
proceeded up Main street to near the
Richmond works, countermarched to near
the Eureka Con. works, thence to the
corner OF Main and Bateman streets and
up Bsteman street and Ruby Avenue to
the Eureka Cemetery. Along the course
the Centennial Guard band, composed
OF the following named gentlemen
and Instrumentation. discoursed some
very beautiful music: Leader John
Pascoe, the e~mphonium, Thomas
Cardew, frat cornet; Henry Williams, SEQ
ond cornet; Richard Moorish, first alto; W.
M. Prout, baritone; Aaron Moorish. bass
trombone; Richard Jobey, tuber; James
Williams, bass drum; Charles Mette, snare
drum. A solo by Leader Pascoe ELECTED the
applause Of q number Of spectators.
Among the compositions played by them
were dead marches by Webster and Beth
oven. The Eureka Star band, formed
only two months ago. and composed OF the
following named gentlemen and instru-
mentation, made their first appearance in
public and did remarkably w~ell-among
the pieces played by them being Depart

Peters, bass drum.
Upon the arrival OF the procession at
the cemetery, the graves of soldiers
there were decorated partially with
California flowers and partially with the
native crops of the sagebrush hills, the
latter being the fresher and not less pref.
Tier than the former. In fact, She custom
of decorating graves on the occasion has
become 30 general that few OF the occu'
pants of the cemeteries were forgotten.
II was noticeable that the graves OF those
who died violently since the lst OF
January last, Of which there are a half
dozen or more, we're especially remem-
bered by friends who hold their memories
In kindly remembrance. The graves
of deceased members OF the Hooks and
Knicks we're BY the fire laddies each marked
with an artistic red banner, bordered with
black and bearing the monogram of the
company in gold. draped with black Grape.
The members buried in our cemeteries
are James Bassetti. W. A. Edwards, Il.
Guiberson, +. Hoch, j. Holland, q. p.
LundgreD, l.. Loschenkohl, Daniel Nor
gan, Peter Morris. d. Patterson, O. Vivian
and John Wallace. In addition TO these
former active associates the fire boys also
decorated the last resting places OF Mrs.
Henry Rives, Mrs. A. @. Douglas and Mrs.
Fl. b. McKee-ladies to whom the COM
pany were under many obligations during
their too brief lifetime, and whose memory
they hold in grateful remembrance.
Altogether, the day was very appro-
priately and we'll observed. There we're no
speeches made. nor were there any formali-
ties observed. All the observations
OF the occasion were impromptu, and car
riod with them q hesrtiness that was GER
tsinly commendable. Many were the tears
shed over the graves OF the departed, n
many the tokens OF regard, friendship and
love shown. Even the empty grave pre-
pared for the remsins OF George Nelson,
who was killed al the Eureka Con. rsduc-
ton works last Friday, land which are
awaiting the arrival OF his wife and little
daughter from the East was not forgot
ten. a number OF flowers being en-
bsdded in the up.thrown earth and q
pretty bouquet laid in the bottom OF the
excavation.
