Violets and Lilies Enveloped the | Casket in Which He Lay. Wrapped in a blanket of violets and lilies of the valley, the casket containing the remains of Colonel Harry I. Thornton was deposited in Laurel Hill Cemetery yesterday afternoon, while relatives and friends surrounded the grave. The body of the dead attorney arrived from Fresno Tuesday afternoon, and was at ice taken to the residence of Harry Thornton Creswell, 2101 Devisadero street. Mr. Creswell is a nephew of the deceased, and from his residence the body was borne to its final resting-place. • Rev. John Herapnill of Calvary Presby- terian Church conducted the services, which consisted of the reading of a portion of the burial service and prayer. The sweet notes of "Nearer, MyGod, to Thee," 'Shall We Meet" and "Good Night" were rendered by Mayer's quartet. The pall-bearers were: Chief Justice William H. Baker, W. S. Wood, Julius C. Reis, Samuel Davis, E. R. Garber, Thomas H. Williams, Thomas Grant, C. H. Ab- bott, Lloyd Tevis, E. J. Coleman, Judge W. W. Porter, Captain White, Munroe Salisbury and Arthur W. Foster. Ex-Judge John Garber and Mrs. Garber occupied one of the family carriages Mr Garber having been an old law partner of Mr. Thornton. The floral offerings were numerous and handsome. Inaddition to the blanket of violets and lilies of the valley which en- veloped the casket a rope of violets was knotted around the bier, and in each knot was a hyacinth. The California Jockey IClub, of which Colonel Thornton was a member, sent an urn five feet high made of violets, while from the mouth of the urn calla lilies reared their heads and nodded : to the black and gold ribbons attached to i cither handle of the urn. Two wagons j were used , to carry the flowers to the \u25a0 ! cemetery. \u25a0ypyyy-.vl Death did not come to Colonel Thornton \u25a0 unexpectedly, for Dr. Maupin told him at 10:30 Monday morning that he had but a short time to live. The dying man asked him how lone; he would live. The jdoctor replied only a short time, whereupon Colonel Thornton asked him how many hours, and was told only a few. He then thanked the doctor for his kindness to him, and told him that he knew that he had j done all that could be done, for his physical 1 condition was such that it was impossible \ for any one to arrest the disease. ; THE TRIBUTE OF FRIENDS. A Sketch of Colonel Thornton's Civil War Career. Very few of the heads of departments were around the Appraiser's building and Custom-house yesterday ; afternoon. Col- lector "Wise, Postmaster McCoppin, United States District Attorney Foote, Surveyor i of the Port English and Collector of Inter- i nal Revenue Welburn were all in attend- i ance on the funeral of Colonel Harry I. jThornton. He was known to all of them Ias a whole-souled gentleman, one who never forgot a friend and who never bore malice, so they went in a body topay their last tribute to his memory. "In 1854, when I was a boy of 14, I first met Harry I. Thornton," -***id United States District Attorney Foote yesterday. "He was then a youth about 20 years old, and had just graduated from the Univer- sity of Virginia. His father was United States Land Commissioner under President Fillmore. He was a brilliant young fellow, and his father decided to make a lawyer of him. When his legal education was com- pleted I met him again, and then he was on the point of removing to Nevada City. A year later we met again, as I had in the meantime determined to try my fortune in the Golden West. "At that time Colonel Thornton had his office next door to William M. Stewart, the present Senator, and John R. McConnell, who was then Attorney-General of the State of California. He was a great favor- ite with both of these gentlemen and they afterward employed him in many Im- portant cases which were carried to the Supreme Court. In these cases Thornton established his reputation as an accurate and most able lawyer. "When the battle of Chickamauga was fought I was inspector-general on the staff of S. P. Buckner. He commanded the army corps of which Colonel Thornton's brigade formed a part. Late on the even- ing of the second day's fighting I witnessed a scene which I will never forget. The strategic point in the battle was held by that heroic officer and noble gentleman, Major-General Thomas of the Federal army. The last desperate attack on his position was led by Colonel Thornton in person. I can see him now. A small, lean man, moving along at the head of his troops as though there was nothing ap- proaching danger in the proposition. That little man rode up to within thirty yards of the cannon's mouth; then the latter belched forth their flame and smoke, and when the scene became clear again my gallant tittle officer was gone. "After the Federal troops had slowly but stubbornly retired I rode over the scene of carnage and found that the leader of that last charge was my friend, Harry Thorn- ton. He saw the artillerymen touching off the gun and prepared to dismount. Before he could get his feet out of the stirrups the shot whistled past and the wind from it knocked Thornton out of the saddle. I congratulated him upon his miraculous es- cape, but he treated the whole affair as a matter of course. "I was his companion in arms for a year after that, and he participated in all the great battles between Sherman and John- ston, fighting with his usual dash and bravery up to the surrender of North Car- olina. "After the war Colonel Thornton re- turned to Nevada and became one of the leading lawyers of the State. Twelve years later when I returned to the home of my childhood my old companion in arms was the first to welcome, me back. • From that time up to the \u25a0 day of his death we were friends. . "Twodays before he left for Fresno we had an old-time chat. The last words he spoke were in regard to an appeal on behalf of a life-long friend of his who had been un- fortunate. - ,- .""\u25a0 "Inall my experience, dating from the time I was ,a page on the floors of the United States Senate, I never met a braver man, a nobler friend or. a truer gentle- man." "The first time I ever met Colonel Thornton was in 1861," said Postmaster McCoppin; "The Senate was then in ses- sion, and the impending civil war was the subject of almost continual debate. Thorn- ton championed /the South and Henry Edgerton stood up for the Union. It was a battle of giants, but which was the greater orator I do not know. ; Thornton's friends claim the ' victory for him, but there are others who assert that honors were; easy. He was "a great lawyer and a good sample of the true-hearted Southern gentleman." ASSAULTED BY A DRUNKEN SAILOR. captain marden's Battle With the Intoxicated Watch- man of His Ship. A STRUGGLE IN THE DARK. The Skipper Was Severely Cut in the Face by His Assailant. The deck of the American ship Guardian, lying at Beale-street wharf, came near be- ing the scene of a bloody tragedy yester- day morning, with the master of the vessel the victim. Captain T. M. Marden, who was up town, intending to remain till morning, concluded about midnight, like a cautious skipper, to go on board and see ifeverything was right on the ship. Stepping over the rail, he noticed a man stealthily leaving the vessel. The captain immediately gave chase, but the pursued was a good sprinter and led the skipper a long race along the water front and finally disappeared. Captain Marden then re- turned to the Guardian and proceeded to overhaul his watchman, an old seaman named James Bulger. He found that val- uable person sound asleep in the galley and began to belabor him. Bulger's wrath rose rapidly and he fell upon the captain with a sheath-knife and inflicted several wounds, one a deep cut on the side of the face being several inches long. Captain Marden grasped the murderous watchman by the right wrist and a desperate fight took place on the dark deck. Bulger fought furiously and tried in vain to drive his weapon into the captain's body. The skipper- at last succeeded in pressing his antagonist against the pin- rail of the ship and entangling him among the ropes. He finally choked the fellow into submission. "When arrested by Officer Fitzgerald, Bulger was covered with blood from the deep cut on Marden's face, and protested that he himself had been assaulted and wounded by the captain. Both men were taken to the Receiving Hospital, where they were examined, Marden being con- signed to a cot and Bulger to a cell. The watchman was intoxicated, and after learning that he was not injured had the usual lapse of memory and denied all knowledge of the affray. THE SHIP GUARDIAN AT BEALE-STREET WHARF. [Sketched for the "Call" by W. A. Coulter.] THE FRANCHISE FOR CHURCH STREET. The Market-Street Company Will Secure a Coveted - Privilege. PROTESTS DID AVAIL Property-Owners Who Were Dissatisfied— of Sidewalks. The Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors decided on a favorable report on the application of the Market-street Railroad for a franchise for an electric road on Church street, between Sixteenth and Ridley, and along the latter thoroughfare to Fillmore, at its meeting yesterday. The franchise covers the ground which was seized by the company during a night several weeks ago, when the Superintendent of Streets stopped the work of several hundred nocturnal laborers and enforced his demands by having twenty of them ar- rested by the police. Large delegations of property-owners from the district through which the road, which is intended to connect the north and south side lines of the company, will run. were present to argue for and against the granting of the petition and considera- ble feeling was manifested by those who were heard. The Church - street land -holders de- manded that the franchise be refused un- less the railroad would agree to run the railroad the full distance from Sixteenth to Thirtieth street, as was provided by the franchise which the company forfeited a couple of years ago by failing to begin work on the line within the time specified. George Collins was first heard, and made a vehement protest against the granting of the privilege. "We don't want a road on Church street," he said, "unless the parties receiving it willagree to build the full length of the street. They are simply trying to shut out competition by building along a few blocks of the street. A competing line would probably do as we ask. We were hoping that some one might apply for the fran- chise when suddenly we found that the street had been jumped, and now that they see that there is no chance for a grab they ask for a franchise. "We want a road over the whole of Church street, and we think that the board should defer to the wishes of a ma- jority of the property-owners. We raised money out of our own pockets to have that street cut through, and we think we have rights in the matter." "The railroad company has broken the law," said another property-owner, "and should be held accountable. "The company knew that its franchise had been forfeited and that its actions were illegal when it took possession of Church street in the night. If my wagon stands on the street, blockading it,it is taken to the corporation- yard and I have to pay $5 to get itback. "Why should the property - owner be treated differently from the corporation ? The car the company has there and the rails they have left on the ground should be carted to the corporation-yard, and the same measure of justice should be meted out to them as is given to the private in- dividual. If it is not so done we may as well go to the railroad company for our law in future. * People .say,, wLat is the use or objecting? the ' Board of Supervisors always stands in with the railroad com- pany. This board, I know, is not that way, but others have been, and we want you to give us justice and no more. My neigh- Dors wanted to go as an armed band and tear up those rails, but we counseled peace and we hope that you willsee that we are fairly treated. "1 he company stole that street, paid for with our hard money, for the sole purpose of shutting out competitors, and they have no right to do it. The city is a disgrace and a shame, because former Superin- tendents of Streets have allowed the cor- porations to tear up the streets and leave them torn up, exposing the sewers and making ditches where traffic is heavy and a clear street necessary." Another property-owner thought that the previous speakers were narrow-minded in asking the refusal of the franchise be- cause the corporation did not wish to go through the entire length of Church street. He thought the wishes of those living on Sixteenth and other streets, who outnum- bered the Church-street protestants twenty to one, should be respected. "I see no reason why this franchise should not be granted," he continued. "If the franchise previously granted was for- feited, why did not some public-minded corporation take the matter up and get a franchise there? No; they did not want it, except when some one else asked for it. I am not in the interest of the company, but in the interest of the people on Sixteenth street, who have been waiting for years for an avenue to the Western Addition and to the water front, and we have paid as much money to have our streets opened as they have. We want this franchise granted. We of Sixteenth street want the road, no matter where it goes on good grades. We want outlets, and we have had to wait years for this chance. You can ride now about nine miles for 5 cents on the Market- street lines. What more can any man want?" Bids for the franchise will be advertised for ten days, and will be opened twenty days later. No one doubts that the Mar- ket-street Company will obtain the fran- chise. The committee reported "favorably on the petition of the property-owners south of the park, who asked the width of sidewalks in their district be fixed at fifteen feet, and also on the petition of R. B. Woodward to have the width of sidewalks on Jessie and Stevenson streets, in Mission block 27, fixed at nine feet. J. Mahoney, representing Bovee, Toy & Co. and Madison &Burke, protested against the establishing of the width of sidewalks north of the park at fifteen feet on the ground that the order would work a hard- ship on property-owners on Lake street, who have already built their walks nine- teen feet wide. The committee will con- sider the matter. •'\u25a0 -.*.•; vr-: NOTHING SUBSCRIBED. The Committee to Aid the Unemployed Will Probably Disband. . The committee of fifteen made another ineffectual attempt to hold a meeting yes- terday, although the notices sent out stated that unless a majority of the mem- bers were present the body would adjourn sine die. Only six members— Kelly, Rey- nolds, Reed,* McGlynn, Fitch and Gaden— were present at the hour set for the meet- ing, though Messrs. Barry and Burnett straggled in later, making a total of eight out of twenty-one members present. Mr. Kelly, who took the chair, said he thought it time for the committee to go out of ex- istence, as very few of the members seemed to care whether anything was done for the unemployed or not, and that up to the present, though the committee had been in existence three weeks, not a dollar had been collected. : Secretary John M. Reynolds pleaded with the members not to adjourn sine die until every possible effort | had been made to assist the 2900 idle men who are regis- tered at the bureau. He : said that he was willing to go on alone if no one else would aid him. He believed; however, that as the Presbyterian and 'Methodist churches had agreed to take up .collections next Sunday for the use of the committee some funds would be available on Monday next, and that if a careful canvass of the city was made more money would come in. The committee decided to make one more effort and will meet on Tuesday next in the Mayor's office at 4 o'clock. Mr. Reynolds was appointed a commit- tee of one to district the city and employ canvassers to go over the ground carefully to procure funds. 7 7 \u25a0-'- \u25a0.'\u25a0\u25a0' SODA MEN AT WAB. P. G. Somps Accuses His Rivals of .;',*>\u25a0;: Breaking Buttles. P. G. Somps has brought a rather pe- culiar suit for damages against Marcelin Mouret, Jean Bassere and Jean Lecour. The persons named are rivals in the soda- water business, and the plaintiff alleges that the defendants have been collecting the bottles which he has been delivering to his customers and destroying them. Each bottle, he says, is worth 85 cents, and already the defendants have destroyed 3000 of them. They are still at work upon his bottles, he says, and so asked that they be restrained from further breakage as well as compelled to pay him $5000 damages for that already done. MOST GIVE UP THE LISTS. Manager W. H. L. Corran Or- dered to Turn Over Val- uable Papers. An Important Incident in the Row Between Rival Direc- tory Companies. Judge Troutt has added another incident to the directory war which is now raging between the Crocker directory, which, itis held, is to build upon the ashes of the old Langley's directory, and the Langley di- rectory, which has, phenix-like, arisen from its own ashes. Judge Troutt's order yesterday was directed to W. H. L. Cor- ran, who is managing the Crocker di- rectory, and it requires him to turn over to Langley's directory all the contracts for subscriptions and advertising which came into his hands while he was managing the old concern and which he still holds. Some time ago the Langley directory failed, and H. S. Crocker & Co., claiming to have secured all the force from the old concern, besides its subscription-lists and its advertising contrasts, advertised that they would issue the only authentic directory of this city. In the same newspapers ap- E eared an advertisement from Painter & Co., who published Langley's, saying that the old directory would continue under their management as heretofore. Corran, their former manager, had in the meantime taken service with Crocker & Co., and with him he had taken all the lists which were of value in the make-up of such a book. These Painter & Co. sued for, and by order of Judge Troutt these will be given over to them. Corran, it is understood, assumed the entire responsi- bility for the retention of the lists and con- tracts, and so the order to show cause why the papers should not be handed over to Painter & (Jo. was directed entirely to him. The action was also somewhat in the na- ture of contempt proceedings, as Corran will be imprisoned unless he immediately ! obeys the mandate of the court.
