A dispatch from San Francisco says
the funeral of w. G. Ralston, late
President of the Bank of California,
took place yesterday, and may be set
down as one of the remarkable events
in the eventful history of that city. All
day yesterday the body of the deceased
banker lay in state at the house of his
wife's father, Col. j. D. Fry, 1912
jackson street; for home, he had none;
having sacrificed everything. The
millionaire of last week was too poor III
death to own the roof which sheltered
his body. Last week rolling in wealth ;
yesterday his family were pensioners
upon the bounty of relative. Last
week the king of capital; to-day so
poor that even the poorest may not
envy the dollars he left. All day yes
terday and Sunday the people focked
20 the house to gaze upon the face Of
the dead banker. From s A. NJ. until
8 O'Clock P. II. Sunday the steady tramp
of the people went up the broad stair
eases and echoed over the tesselated
pavement of the halls and pariors of
the palatial residence of Col. Fry, as
men, women and children focked to
see Ralston dead. At o'clock A. N.
yesterday the drawing room doors were
thrown open and from that hour until
1890 the people streamed in and out,
solid moving throng filing around the
easket, wherein lay the body of W. C.
Ralston. At 8 A. NJ. came pail bearers;
at $50 came clerks of the Bank of
California; at 10 came immediate
friends of the family. Then the casket
was sealed, the gorgeous floral trim
innings removed and the casket conveyed
TO the waiting hearse. The procession
formed and moved out of the vast
throng of people. lining the walks
near Col. Fry's residence to Calvary
Church, corner Powell and Grey streets.
At the church the scene has never been
equaled in San Francisco. At the fun
eral of Star King there was not so
large concourse of people, though
until this time it was considered the
greatest outpouring of the city to do
honor to any dead The Rev. Mr..
Hemphill delivered the funeral sermon,
and eulogized the deceased highly. 1t
is estimat ed that fifty thousand people
were assembled in church and on the
streets adjacent. to witness the funeral.
