Last Monday night Revenue Of.
ficers McAfee, Merrideth and Grow
went down three miles below Cher
okee to tear up a blockade establish
ment near the Hill place. The Of
ficers received letter from a lady
there asking them to come. About
10 o'clock the officers made the
raid and seized the regular utensils
used about blockade establishment
and carried them to Mr.. Robt. H.
Runyan's near by. After the Off
GERS had put the still in the house
and all had gotten quie; about the
place Robert Styles, the man who
owned the still, came to the house
and called to Mr.. Runyan and asks
ed MIN if his still was in the house.
Just here Capt. McAfee stepped to
the door. Styles seeing that he
was an officer turned to run and
McAtee demanded him to "halt,"
whereas Styles turned and fred,
the ball passing through Capt. Nc.
Atees clothes. Styles fired within
eight feet of the officer and scarcely
had he gotten twelve feet before
McAtee returned the fire and Styles
fell to the ground and repeatedly
groaned and said, 90 Lord"
Thinking that he had perhaps NOR
tally wounded the man, Capt. Nc
Aiee waited moment to see what
he was goins to do. TO the officers
surprise the man quickly got up
and ran away in the darkness and a
thorough search mas failed to reveal
race of him. The officers ar

AS REGARDS music.
PICTURES ILLUSTRATED MUSICALLY

GATED.
ABILITY OF LOCAL TALENT.
IT Is DISPLAYED AT MUSICAL EN-
TREATMENTS AT THE Me-
CHANICS' PAVILION.

The assumption that San Francisco is
unsteady 'jay' town is being disap-
proved, so far as expenditure is concerned,
by the American Concert band, which, I'M
der the direction of Alfred Roncovieri, is
producing music for all those who wish to
hear music, and good music at that. AL
fred Roncovieri had determined that he
would prove that San Francisco was not,
unsteady, behind the provinces, no matter
what the assertions might be that were
made by outside authorities.
The fact that San Francisco has to-day a
band of 100 pieces which is in size second to
but one that ever visited or rendered any
numbers in this country is purely the re-
suit of the local enthusiasm When criti-
cisms were being made to the effect that
San Francisco was ''jay" in all its particu-
lars and in all its habits, Mr.. Roncovieri
said: II will bet anv reasonable amount
of money that can pick up in San Fran
cisco band OF 100 pieces-equal in size to
that of the famous Gilmore band-and
produce in this city music such as has not
been heard in this city, and prove by the
production that it is not in any sense a
jay town" If it was ''jay" at all it would
! certainly be Gay" in music.
1t was upon this sociable bet that was
based the present concert of the American
band going on at the Mechanics Pavilion
So largely does charity enter into the
| scheme that it almost ceased to be an ex-
ample OF San Francisco's appreciation of
music.
The days given to the French Hospital
| and the Mondays and Saturdays given to
various charitable organizations have
proved the disinterestedness of the pro-
moter of this scheme for the musical edu-
| cation of San Franciscans
| Lest there should be any feeling on the
| part of the public that it was for their edu-
cation and not for their appreciation the
illustrated numbers have been arranged.
There are no chunks of Wagnerian music
thrown at the audience in order to test
their musical susceptibility. The musical
schemes are legitimate and complete.
Last night there was presented the "War
Memories" by w. D. Reeves, which has
been called for very often. The musical
plan consists in the distribution around
the Pavilion of a bugle corps. There is
reyeille, then call to guard, then guard
mount, the band meanwhile carrying out

ALAMEDA.

A movement is on foot to put into prac-
teal operation the referendum ordinance
adopted at the recent meeting of the Trus-
tees in reference to public questions to be
submitted to the voters at the municipal
election. B. G. Brown, the stenographer,
has the movement in charge. He was
active yesterday circulating petitions for
the signatures of the required 10 per cent
OF the qualified voters, to be presented to
the Trustees at their meeting Monday
night, asking them to submit to the popu-
lar vote the following question: care you
in favor of a special tax levy of Is cents on
the 500 for the erection of a building for
the Alameda free library"
Before undertaking the task Mr. Brown
consulted John G. Brick and G. II. Mastick
of the Library Board, and received their APP
proval of the scheme. The vote would be
a fair expression of the sentiments of the
public on the feasibility of the library
building project.
Cut Down in His Prime.
E. NJ. Roach died yesterday morning at
the home of his parents, at the corner of
Encinal avenue and Oak street of con-
sumption. Deceased was a printer and re-
turned only few days ago from the Print
ers' Home at Colorado Springs, where he
went short time ago in the hope of re-
cuperating his health. His condition,
however, became worse and he returned to
his home to die among his relatives and
friends. Deceased was member of Ala
media Parlor of Native Sons and was %
years of age His funeral will take place
tomorrow morning and will be conducted
under the auspices of Alameda Parlor.
Nominating Convention.

1t was novel convention and everything
worked out as had been planned. Voting
was brisk and the candidates were active
in their efforts to secure votes. There were

in voting and counting of votes. The SIM
plicity of the proceeding was its greatest
recommendation.

ALAMEDA COUN4Y'S
new CREMATORY
WILL HAVE APPOINTMENTS EQUAL
TO ANY IN THE UNITED
STATES.
ITS SERVICE OPEN TO ALL.
A SITE WILL PROBABLY BE CHOSEN
NEAR MOUNTAIN VIEW
CEMETERY.

The Alameda County Cremation Asso-
citation held it's first annual meeting at the
residence of DR.. f. L. Adams, in Oakland,
Wednesday evening last and elected Off
GERS for the ensuing year as follows: F. B.
Gibson, president; DR.. F. L. Adams, first
vice-president; DR.. John Fearn, second
vice-president; Miss Eva Cariin, secretary,
and D. L. Bishop, treasurer.
The plans for the contemplated crema-
tory, drawn by Ross, Stone & Cahill, were
adopted. 1t was decided that the building
should be of stone instead of brick, as orig
inally intended, and that to this end $4,000
extra should be expended, making the total
cost of the building $685.
The purchase of site for the crematory
and work on the building will begin as soon

as $4,000 worth of the capital stock shall
have been sold, but as this amount is
nearly all raised only a few months will
elapse before the Alameda County crema-
tory and columbarium will be an actuality.
Ample provisions will be made for not
only the incineration of bodies, but for the
preservation and disposition of the re-
mains of the bodies. The building pro-
posed comprises the receiving room, with
vaults attached, where bodies awaiting in
cineration may be kept. An appropriate
chapel for funeral services, two retorts for
incarceration and columbariums, with up
ward of 1000 inches for the preservation of
the ashes of the dead in urns or other re-
ceptacles will be the prominent features.
The building and appliances will be at
the service of all applicants, and no limita-
lions of its use will be imposed on account
of religious belief, race or color.
Ames oil-burners of the same pattern as
the ones now in use in Boston will be used,
and bodies will be reduced to ashes in from
forty to sixty minutes.
The columbariums. will be of marble,
with marble tablets in front on which will
be placed obituary inscriptions correspond
ing with their respective contents. A beau
tiful flower conservatory will flank each
side of the chapel.
Specially prepared thing suitable for the
antiseptic treatment of bodies will line the
receiving-room, and the interior of the
cremating-room will be of light buff-col-
ored brick or thing.
The two retorts will each have an extra
outside vault door. In one retort the re-
duction of the casket will be going on while
the body of the departed in the neighbor-
ing retort is passing through the disinte-
grating transition to its original elements.
The crematory when completed will be
the best appointed one in the United States
with one exception = the Gardiner-Earl
crematory in the lakewood Cemetery at
Troy, n. Y.
A site will probably be chosen in the vi
cinity of Mountain View Cemetery.

The Harbor Commissioners have awarded
contracts for planting the trees which are
to beautify the water front, and within a
few days the work of eXcavating on East

which will be done will be the digging of
holes and the extension of the curbs. The
sidewalks will be made three feet wider,
which will bring the trees outside of the
electSic poles. The sidewalks will be laid
after the holes are dug and the trees are in
place.
As stated before, elm trees will be
planted at intervals of thirty feet, with a
palm between each elm. Around the trees
will be iron boxes painted green. The con-
tract to dig the holes has been let to A. E..
