Death Of Rev. It. s,arrKing.

SAN FRANCISCO, March f.
Rev T. Starr King died at o'clock this
morning, after short illness, of diptberia.
This sudden and unexpected event at
once surprised and saddened the whole com
munity. Business was nearly suspended (;
the courts adjourned; the public offices were
closed; the flags on every flagstaff were
put at half mast including those on every
church that ever raised flag. 1t is. univer-
sail conceded that no man had done so much
as he towards making California loyal, while
his untiring zeal in forwarding every benev-
olent enterprise made him generally beloved.
Mr.. King was the son of the Rev. Thorn
as Harrington King, and was born in the
city of New York on the 10th of December,
1924. He prepared for college, but the
death of his father prevented him from en-
trring His mother and family were depend
ent upon him for support. He was account
ant and school teacher, by turns, occupying
every leisure moment with self culture anc
preparation for the ministry, down to 1876
when he became pastor of the church form
erly presided over by his father, in Charles
town, Mass In 1848 he accepted call t.
the Hollis Street Church, Boston. There ht
remained until 1860, when he removed t.
California, where he preached and lecturet
until his death In 1850 he received the de
gree of NJ. A. from Harvard. In 1850 h,
published his ''White Hills"
He was gentleman of superior culture
finish, elegance and taste, of an excellent i'm
agination and an eloquent utterance. He
dies at two scere-in the meridian of hi
career and the ripeness of his fame Lite
rature has lost an ornament, the pulpit
brave voice, the flag and its defenders
champion and lover. How is the stronf
staff broken and beautiful rod.
