Committee.
After various remarks and suggestions in
reference to further action on the part of
the Club in regard to the funeral of Col.
Thoburn, it was determined that COM
mlttee of arrangements be appointed to
take charge, so far as it mightbe pleasing
to the family of the deceased, of.the public
obsequies, in connection with the military
of the city. The following gentlemen were
appointed as the committee:
His Honor, Mayor Crangle, Chairman.
VIM. Tallant, Lonis Keller,
Sam'l Laughliu, Frederick Myers,
j. G, Orr, S. N. Prather,
Jno. E. Wilson, Jno. R. Hubbard,
Capt. Jno. Mcclure, Theo. Gorrell,
Jno. Donlou, S. P. Hildreth,
Jno. K. Botsford, Jas. Bodley,

81. K. List, James s. Wheat,
Henry o. OFT, Capt. j. B. Britt,
Aug. Pollock, A. B. Caldwell,
After the appointment of this committee
Mr.. VIM. Tallant in speaking of its pro-
posed scope of action, said that that it was
becoming that not only the members of
this Club, but all the fellow-citizens of
Col. Thoburn who esteem the cause for
which he died, should pay homage to his
memories. The Republic expected all her
children to do their duty in some field or
other. The gallant Col. Thoburn had dis:
charged his, even to the offering up of his
life. 1t was for us who had remained
behind to attest our appreciation of the
nobility of the sacrifice which he had
made. He therefore moved that upon the
of the club the committee inst
appointed should remain for the purpose of |
consulting upon the details of the necessa. |
~ preparations for Col. Thoburn's funeral,
as also for the funeral of his noble com.
rades who had fallen upon the same battle |
field, and whose corpse5 were either now |
in our hands or shortly expected, referring
