Upon the adoption of thé constitution of 1579 he was elected a Justice of the Supreme Court, which po- sition he held for eleven years. Since 1892 | he had been engaged in the practice of his profession. HIS LAST ARGUMENT. His last argument was made in the Supreme Court of California in the case of Reis against the State of California, in which he was completely successful. It was remarked at the time that his argument was equal to his best efforts when in the prime of his life. Judge Thornton was a man of firmly fixed political convictions. Being a Southerner by birth, he was an ardent sympathizer with the South during the Civil War. Three of his brothers lost their lives in the Confederate service. He refused to take the oath of alleglance to the United States during the Civil War, preferring to cease the practice of his profession to sacrificing his convic- tions or his sympathies. After the war, however, his love for the constitution and the Union returned in full force and he took infinite pride in the fact that during the war with Spain he had two sons-in-law officers of high rank and ability—Admirals Watson and Glass— and two grandsons—Lieutenant James Thornton Watson of the Twenty-sixth In- fantry and Lieutenant Edward Howe Watson, now serving on the United States cruiser Prairie—all in active service for | the Union. Judge Thornton had been a pillar of the Presbyterian church ever since his ar- rival in California and helped in the or- L S i S T e e e v e Continued From Page 1, Column 2.

It was their artillery learned that her Jaughter had not been there for a week. She finally located her at 412 Taylor street and once more invoked the aid of Secre- tary Kane. Ho had the girl brought to his office and in the presence of her mother the girl gave the name of the man with whom she has been assoclating lately. He is Stanley Horan, a young man who has been employed in the Regis- trar's office as an extra clerk, and who lives with his parents on Fourteenth street. Secretary Kane questioned the girl as to Horan's disposition toward her, and when he learned that the young man probably would be willing to marry her{ he gave her the alternative of elther get- ting married or being committed to the Magdalen Asylum. This was on Thursday afternoon, and on her way home Norma left a note for Horan ask- ing him to call at her house that night. Horan went there and, according to Mrs. Daiey, readily consented to the marriage. He said he felt largely responsible for the waywardness of the girl and was anxious to make all amends possible. He asked that the marriage be postponed some drys until he could secure a sufficient sum of money with which to start in wedded life. This seemed satisfactory to Norma, and Horan promised to call at 10 o’'clock the following morning. HORAN OVERSLEEPS. A night of worry and suspense kept gleep from Horan until daylight, and when he awoke he found it was nearly 1 o'clock in the afternoon. After dressing and eating breakfast he started for his flancee’s house to explain his tardiness. On his way he stopped in at the office of Secretary Kane to assure nim that all arrangements had been made for the marriage. A telephone message had been received there only a minute before from Mrs. Daley stating that Norma had taken carbolic acld and was beyond medical aid. The unwelcome task of breaking the shocking news to Horan devolved on Sec- retary Kane, and when the young fellow heard it he fainted, and it took a @octor kalf an hour to restore him to conscious- pess. When he revived he wept hysteri- cally and bitterly blamed himself for his carelessness in oversleeping.; in action in their support. A lively ar- tillery duel continued between the bat- teries and occasionally in the lull of the roar of the three-inch rifies could be heard the sharp crack of the Krag-Jor- gensen, proving that the scouts of the opposing forces were coming into con- tact. The battalion of engineers, acting as blue infantry, came marching up the hill and hurried off to the right of the battery, where the browns were already visible coming on steadily through the grass. Thelr advance was cleverly made and every advantage was taken of the ground and of the tall grass which hid a man very effectually. When advances are made in line over ground devoid to a large extent of trees and other objects behind which considerable bodies of men could be concealed the light brown khaki uniform possesses decided advantage over the blue, A man clad in the latter is vis- ible instantly, while the dust colored khakl cloth renders {its wearer much more difficult to distinguish. 2 CLOSE RANGE FIGHTING. The brown line advanced spreading out to their left as they came, and in a few minutes they were thrown squarely across the blue line of retreat. The engineer battalion kept up a rattling fire, but they were not able to prevent the browns from obtaining a position from which they directed a heavy fire into the blue artillery. It was a position such as must have caused the destruction of the battery and the umplires decided that it had been put out of action. The browns came rapidly through the grass, keeping up their fire without slackening in the least. Ald was now coming to the hard- pressed engineers’ battallon, which was clinging desperately to its work. Com- pany D of the Sixth Infantry came up the hill on a run and plunging into the fight on the right flank of the engineers they pushed forward rapidly upon the browns. The latter were speedily driven back and Company A of the Fourth Cavalry was captured. The line of retreat was re- opened, but the browns were coming up Parker Wilson, inhaled flames and was burn- ed about his head and arms, Charles McHene: injure v oy Ty, injured by falling from Officer’ Dutschie, inhaled burned about the face o |oes #nd was Henry Chase, fireman, badly burned, inhals flames and was injured by oollqn:not':.nb\mz nfiwt Kelly, stranger, badl; br;t.‘!:gln(Kflnlmu. y injured by obert Knowles, fireman, badly burn his face and arms and suffocated, e h“fl‘: Hurley, fireman, burned on face and ands.

The total loss is estimated at $350,000, but there are many good judges who place the amount close to the half-million dollar mark. The pavilion was full of costly exhibits borrowed from all sec- tions of the State, all of which went up in smoke. The Chamber of Commerce trustees held 2 conference this afternoon with the presidents of the banks, Jumber dealers and representatives of local unions to de- vise means by which to induce owners in the burnt district to rebuild Immediate- ly. The bankers and dealers promised to make concessions to those who desire to build immediately and the labor union men promised to use their utmost en- deavors to encourage immediate rebuild- ing. It is possible that the chamber will offer premiums for new structures in the burnt district. Another meeting is to be held as soon as the different interests are ready to make definite proposals, —_— Sir Marcus Samuel Is Lord Mayor.

SHRADY HAS DOUBTS OF COrMPLETE RECOVERY Eminent New York Physician Sees Danger to the Presi- dent in the Present Treatm ent, But Encouraging Reports Come From the Attending Surgeons at Washington Special Dispatch to The Call. EW YORK, Sept. 29.—Dr. Shra- dy, the eminent physician and member of the New York Her- ald editorial staff, discussing President Roosevelt's condition, says: The performance of a second op- eration on President Roosevelt so soon after the first one, which was sald to promise so much, gives a somewhat new ospect to the case. The natural inference i3 that if the recent procedure was so necessary why was it not instituted from the first? - The making of a free incision upon the affected part was comparatively a simple affair, and the exposure.of diseased parts was not likely to be attended with any special danger. Now we learn that the bone is “‘slightly affected.” The latter statement may mean much or little, depending upon the degree and nzture of this new feature. A superficial injury of bone confined to its covering may be easily treated and no harm re- sult. When, however, this membrane takes on active inflammation, pus forms Letween it and the bone and generally ¢nds in the death of the bone to a greater or less extent. So far there has been no | report of suppuration having occurred, and we may hope for the best. It is quite certain that no risks are being tak- en In this regard with an open wound and free drainage. The aim is to close the opening from the bottom by a grad- ual process of bealing. If the bone is in a healthy condition there will be difficulty in so doing. Of course, a great deal must depend upon the constitution of the patient, and it goes without saying that there are no special fears on this point. Still no one can be positive regarding the ultimate result until the entire opening is complete_ ly closed by healthy scar tissue. If any portion of the bone should die, healing would be impossible unless the dead tis- sue be first removed, WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—After the President’s physiclans had dressed his wound this morning the following state- mient was prepared and Issued: The condition of the wound is satistactory.

Surgeon General Rixey of the navy, Surgeon General O'Reilly of the army, Dr. Schaffer, the bone specialist from New York, and Dr. Lung were present- when the wound was dressed. They were at the temporary White House about three- quarters of an hour. The slight rise in the temperature noted yesterday before the second operation had disappeared this morning and this was considered es- pecially favorable by the physiclans. The physiclans insist to-day that the President’s wound gives no occasfon for alarm. The President himself continues cheerful and seemingly regards the wound as a trivial matter. The fact that a sec- ond operation was necessary evidently caused considerable apprehension in the public mind, as the number of callers who stopped at the temporary White House was larger than on any previous day since the President returned to Washing- ton. were received. To all reassuring replies ‘were sent. The President has passed an uneventful day, remaining most of the time in his wheel chair, by which means he was able to be moved to various parts of the room. To-night he is reported to be pro- gressing satisfactorily. There were ho visitors during the afternoon and evening except Dr. Lung, the regular White House physiclan, who made his usual call. Dr. Newton M. Schaffer, the New York bone specialist, who came down yes- terday at the President’'s request and joined the other physicians in the con- sultation before the operation, returned to New York this afternoon. No arrange- ments were made for another visit from the doctor. Misses Alice and Ethel Roosevelt joined the President and his wife at the White House to-night, the former coming from Tuxedo Park and the other from Oyster Bay. Miss Ethel is to attend school here.

CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N.W., WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.—Fearing Presi- dent Castro of Venezuela will order the telegraph cables cut, United States Min- ister Bowen at Caracas to-day suggested to the State Department that warsnips be dispatched to Veuezueian waters in the event of communication being destroyea. The situation is thought to be growing more serious in Venezuela, although Min- ister Bowen has not sent advices particu- larizing the spread of the disturbances which have lonig existed there. A telegram received from him to-day bears date of September 28 and says: “Have been reliably informed that the Government will probably cut all the ca- bles this week. Therefore I suggest the dispatch of warships to this point in case communication is interrupted.” gThis dispatch was promptly referred Dby the State Department to Secretary Moody and was then communicated through the Bureau of Navigation to Commande- J. P. Rodgers, who is commanding the Mari- etta, now at La Guayra. Until tne Navy Department has advice from him there will probably be no orders issued for any other ship to go to Venezuela. The Ra- leigh, which will be commissioned this week at the Boston yard, may, if the necessity arises, be dispatched to Vene- zuela. Photographic Supplies.
