COMMISSIONER kIODER'S WORK.
He Files Report Relating to Debris
Dams.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. S.-John F. Kidder,
the State Detris Commissioner. has filed
his report with Governor Markham. The
storage capacity of dams already con-
slrncted and in course OF construction is
2l,336, 723 cubic yards of impending reser-
voir. The board has had sixteen meet
ings, at the majority of which be bas been
present. and he has also visited In COM
pany with the United States Engineers
majority of the mines applying, some of
them being of such a nature as to not ne
cessitate his visiting them.
He thinks the aid of the Government
should be extended TO build restraining
dams, and begs the Governor to urge the
United States TO make an appropriation
with the $3.50, 000conditionallya appropriated
by the State. He also recommends that the
Debris Commissioned of California be made
a member of the United States Commission
and have a vote therein. The Federal
Commissioners are in accord with him in
that direction. The most cordial relations
exist between him and them.

over head. The sharp conclusion sent
Max flying through the open gateway, and
he fell heavily on the sidewalk. w. B.
Hettich, an employe in the Street Depart
ment, was standing few feet from Max
and he was driven backward a few feet,
but managed TO retain his equilibrium.
The iron top of the tank was torn off
and hurled against the door of the office,
which faced the tanks, forcing it from its
hinges and smashing 1t in pieces on the
floor. The front OF the office was badly
shattered, the building rocking as if caused
by violent earthquake shock. Caretaker
J. Hines was seated in the office at the
time, and narrowly escaped being struck
by fragment of the broken door.
The report of the explosion attracted a
big crowd. and the widest stories were
afioat on the streets as TO the origin of the
explosion, some believing that an attempt
had been made to blow up the new City
hall. and that several people had been
killed.
The Livingstones were carried across
the street to the Receiving Hospital and
were attended to by Drs. Somers and
Deane. They presented sorry sight,
both their faces being blackeued and
bleeding and blood was oozing out of Myers
mouth. The surgeons found that Myer
was worse injured than his brother. He
had sustained compound comminuted
fracture of both bones OF both legs near the
ankle. His left arm was also fractured
and he was suffering from internal inju-
res. Max had his left leg fractured and
complained of pains in his chest. They
will both recover.
Myer is partner Of the San Francisco
Iron Yard on Folsom street and he and his
brother live at 715 Third street, Oakland.
They begged that Myers wife and their
parents should not be told OF their misfor-
tune, as the shock might prove serious, es-
pecially to their aged parents.
Mayor Ellert and the other City Hall
officials inspected the wreck in the yard
yesterday afternoon. 1t was said that the
gasoline had been emptied from bot tanks
before being sent from the Aims house,
but despite this precaution explosive gas
had generated in the tanks afterward
They allcondemned Myers imprudence in
using a lighted match to inspect the int.
rior of a gasoline tank. The force of the
explosion tore the thick zine apart where
it had been soldereG and riveted. and the
bottom, top aud sides were battered almost
mt of shane.

DEATH INTERVIEWED.
Mr.. Bernstein Did Not Live to See
His Son Married.


NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The uppermost wish
of Nathan Bernstein, a millionaire butcher.
was that he might live long enough to wit
ness the marriage of his son John. Mr..
Bernstein, who was GA, had lived for the
past twenty-five years in Brooklyn. For
about a year he had been suffering from an
affection of the liver, and with his growing
weakness came the wish to see his son hap
PLY married. The young man was ep-
gagged 10 a Miss Ida Kerne. No definite
date had been selected for the marriage.
Yesterday Mr.. Bernstein realized that his
end was near and he PREVAILED on the young
couple to have the ceremony performed in
the evening.
As the time approached Mr.. Bernstein
expressed tile fear that he would not live
until the hour set and urged that il be
FASTENED. All the children were present
at the time excepting one daughter. who
was expected from Chicago. The prepara-
tons were hurried and the bridal party
was about to proceed to Mr.. Bernstein's
bedroom. Mr.. Bernstein had been sinking
rapidly. The bride and groom took a posi-
ton close by the bedside and the dying
man was propped up with pillows. The
other members of the family gathered
close by the minister. The latter was
about to read the marriage ritual when
Mr.. Bernstein died. The grief-stricken
family were about to postpone the mar
riage. but Mrs. Bernstein insisted that it
should be carried out just as if her hus-
band were alive. The family then wit
messed the ceremony of making the young
co uple man and wife.

PEORIA, Ill.,. Oct. S.-Charles j. Off,
president of the Illinois Wholesale Gro

cussed It's apparent dissolution. He said
that the rules and regulations. which were
important In their character, had not been
lived up to by many Of the members, and
he considered this unfair competition re-
sponsible for the downfall of the associa-
lion. The organization was formed largely
for the purpose of regulating the price of

without profit, though it represents a
large part of the sales of erocery-store.

JUNK-DEALER'S IMPRUDENCE
Myer Livingstone Examines an
Old Gasoline Tank

He and His Brother Max Hurled to

Myer Livingstone will think twice in fu-
ture before he attempts to explore the in
terror of gasoline tank with lighted
match. He and his brother, Max, are now
in the Receiving Hosp al, where they are
likely to remain for several days.
Two gasoline tanks that had been in use
in the Almshouse have been lying in the
corporatiou-yard on Park avenue for the
past two months. Yesterday at noon they
were offered for sale at the rooms of Tevis
& Fisher by instructions of Mayor Ellert.
Tie purchasers were the Livingstone
brothers.
Immediately after the sale Myer and
Max went to the corporation-yard 10 take
II look al the tanks, which were standing a
few yards from the entrance gate. Myer
pulled the plug out of one of them. as he
was anxious 10 find out whether they
were lined with copper. His brother was

inside.
There was a terrific explosion, and the

They Commit Cool Robbery in
ST. Louis Saloon.


ST. LOUIS, Oct. S.-A daring robbery
took place last night at the saloon or Her
man L. Feucht, 1901 Cbouteau avenue, at
S:45 O'Clock. AT that hour there were
present Feucht and several quarry labor
ers. The front door suddenly opened aud
tall man, wearing a SLOUGH hat and a
handkerchief over his face as mask,
walked in and was closely followed by five
more men, all wearing masks. The men
held drawn revolvers and quickly covered
Feucht and the men in the saloon. The
entrance of the robbers was so sudden that
the saloon-keeper and his companions
were taken completely unawares and were
so frightened that the thought of offering
resistance never entered their minds. They
submitted like lambs to the dictates of the
leader, who ordered them to throw up
their hands. The men on completing the
robbery dashed out the way they came and
ran into the railroad yards, where they
were lost among the many cars standing on
the tracks. The mounted district police
were quickly notified and the robbers are

SCHEEL DIRECTED.
A Successful Concert by
Local Amateurs.
The Philharmonic Society's First
Concert With the New Conductor.
The Musicians Stamp.

Odd Fellows Hall was crowded last
first concert of the Philharmo nic Society,
with Fritz Scheel as conductor.
The orchestra. which must have num-
bered nearly sixty performers. was very
strong in strings. fact that prevented
any of the blatant effects so frequently
observable in nop-professional organize
tons. Indeed. the greater part of the
Philharmonic Society's work last night
was remarkably fine. considering that is
was produced by amateurs. The stamp
OF Fritz Scheel was clearly observable in
all the numbers. He had not succeeded
in making the whole band of performers
play in tune-very far from it at times
but sixty amateurs playing all through a
long and difficult programme, without a
slip in any ones intoDation. would have
been a miracle, and ScheePs inspiring
baton does not profess to be magician S
wand. What lie had succeeded in doing
was in giving the orchestra good deal OF
his vivid light and shade and artistic
flush.
Moszkowski's "Tantastischer Tug"
was played with enough iightness and
brigh tness to make it attractive. The
Strauss waltz, wiener Bow bons." was
the first work of the orchestra that en-
given with all the swing and the varia-
lions in the tempo that make ScheePs in
depreciation of WaitZes so popular. A
great deal of delighted applause was the
result. If Voigts 'Nachtgesang" had not
been marred by faulty information it would
have been about :he gem of the orchestral
concert. The shading was most delicate
and refined and it was played with good
deal of feeling.
The ensemble work was good in Rubin
STEMS "Polonais ct Polonaise," from lie
Bal Costume" but the "Cosaque ct Petite
Russienne," from the same suite, prov ed
a little 90 much for the powers of the or
chestra. The instruments could not al
ways compete with the technical difficult
ties, and some of them had to wrestle hard
10 keep up with the tempo. Among the
solos in this number the harp carried of
the donors. Tschaikowsky's "Chant sans
Parole" was very ably played. The con-
cert concluded with Gregh's Ballet
fluster" and the 'Balletmusik." from
boa dil," by Mozskowski. All through
tie programme the applause was very
warm. and The Philharmonic certainly had
reason 10 congratu late itself on its success.
The society was assisted by the harpist,
Mrs. Breitschuck- Marquardt, who played
"Au Rif de la Mer" and "Chants Sc
raphic" with her usual clear, finished exc.
cution and beautiful purasng.

ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY

To Be Erected on the Line of thss Mount
Lowe Railway.
There is today en- route for Southern
California one OF the most distinguished
of living astronomers, DR.. Lewis Swift,
recently director OF tho great Rochester
observatory. He hiss achieved world
wide fame in two departments OF astron-
omical research. He fret became famous
as a comet seeker, his keen eye and prac-
tical methods having discovered 80 many
of those difficult objects as to attract
marked attention. He then began to
search for those exceedingly faint and
remote eystems known as nebule, and
his achievements in that direction have
distanced all competitors. Professor
Swift has discovered more nebul@ than
any other astronomer since Sir John
Herschel, who died nearly half a century
ago.
DR.. Swift was greatly favored in his
notable astronomical work by having the
use OF one OF the best telescopes in
America. This splendid instrument he
brings with him to the clear atmosphere
and low latitude of Southern California,
and will plant it on that already world
famous spot, Echo mountain, where he
will continue his researches in zone Of
the celestial sphere much farther south
than could be reached by his Rochester
observatory.
And this important change OF base.
which is Of the highest interest to every
resident OF Southern California, is
brought about in pursuance of Professor
loves cherished plans to establish a
great observatory on the Sierra Atadre
mountains.
The building of the mountain railway
is only q means to the noble end he has
kept steadily in view. Another import
ant stage in his work is now about to be
inaugurated. and not many months will
elapee before Professor Swift will be en-
gagged in sweeping his new fields in
these southern heavens with his mag
niicent telescope which has done such
splendid service under far less favor
able conditions.
