A FIRE AT SAN QUENTIN.
It Aroused the Prison Officials at Eleven
O'clock at Night.

1t Aroused the Prison Officials at Eleven
O'clock at Night.
The residents of San Quentin-that is,
those who are not living there for expiatory
purposes-have, for over two years, re-
tired at night feeling somewhat secure in
the consciousness that their slumbers would
be undisturbed until the ordinary time for
a peaceable citizen to arise. For that
length of time, also, since Joe Marshall in
an attempt to escape, was shot and killed,
the discipline at the big prison has been
excellent
But last Monday night at II o'clock the
village was turned upside down. Guards
who were not on duty rolled out of bed and
tumbled into their boots and trousers in a
way that would make San Francisco fire.
man turn green with envy.
The alarm bell rang bell that is never
used except IN the event of an attempted
escape of prisoners or fire, and there was
fire.
Ada Werner, who shot her husband in
his bed in fit of jealousy some time ago
in this city, is serving life sentence, and
is in the habit of reading in order to COM
pose herself to sleep. Her book on this
occasion must have proven uninteresting,
for she sank into slumber, had a night
mare and knocked the candle over.
The bed clothing became ignited and her
cell became filed with smoke. The occu-
pants of the nearby cells, Mrs. Shattuck
and May Martin, became alarmed at the
odor and shrieked for help. Matron Reyes
arrived promptly on the scene and some
one rang the bell.
Sergeant E. V. Ellis, who is in charge of
the early night-watch, with his assistant,
John I. Leonard, rushed to the women's
ward and seeing the smoke appearing in
dense quantities did not wait to rush down
to the Office for the keys of the cells but
forcing the door of Mrs. Werner's abode.
The prisoner, unless she had been liber-
ated in a few minutes, would have been
suffocated.
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1895-02-26

on on its march around the hall.
The lights were lowered, and col
ored calcium effects contributed toward
making a picture which will long be re-
membered by those who had the pleasure
of witnessing it. A squad of grotesqpe
policemen formed the vanguard and was
followed by the giant and illiputian drum
majors, impersonated by an exceptionally
tall colored man and one of the smallest
of small boys in existence. Then came the
American band, playing one of SouZa's in
spring marches. The appearance OF his
Majesty II. S. Martin | was hailed with
shouts and cheers. The obese and jolly
monarch of the North Beach was comfort
ably seated in gorgeous chariot, drawn
by imps and surrounded by enough clowns,
monkeys, bears and nondescripts to stock
modern circus.
Like series of living pictures followed,
the beautiful queen, impersonated by Miss
May Mason, who looked the very ideal of
queenly grace; the goddess of music, Miss
Alice Decourtieux, and the amusing allegor-
zeal floats. The first, entitled, 1.-The French
Culinary Art" was drawn by six bull
frogs and represented duel between chefs
over their culinary talents. A squadron OF
perambuIating victuals, including beets,
hams and stuffed fowl, served as an escort.
The next was named "The Medical Fra
ternity," and depicted the worthy DR..

backed by more than her natural allow
! ance of fairy godmothers, been called upon
to conjure out of the realms of dreamland
brighter or more gorgeous spectacle than
that presented at the Mechanics Pavilion
last evening, they would have failed be-
yond the peradventure of a doubt.
For many weeks past the prominent citi-
zens of the local French colony have been
busily engaged in arranging a carnival,
kermesse and series of grand concerts, the
proceeds OF which were to be devoted to
the newly erected French hospital, or Mai
son de Sante Franchise, as it is more prop
erly called. For many years this institu-
ton has been among the foremost of it's
kind in the city, and when the proposition
to raise funds for its benefit was first limited
at the French population, almost in a
| body, expressed its willingness to work
heart and hand for the success of the pro-
| ject. That they have labored assiduously
and succeeded so far as the preliminary
efforts are concerned was illustrated be-
yond doubt at the Pavilion last evening.
| The scene, upon entering the vast struc-
| ture, was of such character as to fairly
! hold the spectator spell-kcsund for the
moment, and had he not a few minutes
prior cheerfully contributed an admission
| fee at the box-office he might well be ex-
cused for rubbing his eyes and inquiring
whether the scene before him was one of
dream fancy or the handiwork of fellow
mortals. The glare of the monday sun is
difficult matter to rival and the rays of
the pale moon are hard to equal, but with
| the aid of hundreds of mellow incandes-
cents and pale arcs the managers of this
| charitable enterprise succeeded in illunli-
mating the interior in manner never be-
| fore attempted. Myriads of flags, endless
| feStoons of fragrant eyergreens, innumer-
able streamers and thousands of yards of
vari-colored bunting all contributed
! toward the complete transformation OF the
usually cold and inviting aspect of the
! building. From the center of the arched
roof, and draped in such manner as to
! form a canopy, huge streamers were sus-
! pended in semicircular fashion, and on all
| sides of these were hung the flags of all
nations. The effect was striking, and a
glance overhead was rewarded by glimpse
of artistic decorating instead of white
washed rafters and rusty gaspipes.
When at the hour of s O'clock Leader
Alfred Roncovieri, baton in hand, faced
| his American concert band of 100 pieces an
! immense throng of pleasure-seekers were
in attendance. The lower floor was
crowded with promenaders, who divided
their attention profitably between the
| booths, the pretty damsels and the music.
! Speaking of the latter attraction, it must
be said that the musical organization afore-
mentioned really distinguished itself on this
its first appearance. One hundred trained
and neatly uniformed musicians seated

acute congestion of the lungs developed
ITSELF and DR.. Maupin, his local medical
attendant, advised the relatives that the
patient was in very serious condition.
DIR. Parsons of this city went down on a
special train, but could only confirm the
physicians worst fears. City Attorney
Creswell and the sisters and sisters-in-law
of Colonel Thornton were present at the
death. Mr.. Creswell is a nephew of the
deceased.
The remains will be brought to this city
on the clock train to-day.
AT noon yesterday Colonel Thornton re-
gained consciousness and dictated letters
to his friends. saying that he was dying
and bidding them good-by.
AT 800 p NJ he again became uncon-
scious, and ten minutes later breathed his
last.
AT the outbreak of the Civil War the Leg
islature was in session, and young Thorn
ton seized the occasion to make most SEN
sational speech on the floor of the house.
His subject was the right of secession, and
IN 1t he upheld the cause of the South. A
heated discussion followed, but Thornton
held his ground. At the end he resigned
his seat, packed up his belongings and
started for the seat of war. He at once
enlisted under the banner of the Confed-
eracy, and as major of the Seventh and
lieutenant-colonel of the Fifty-eighth
regiments saw great deal of active serv-
ice. He was a member of General A. S.
Johnston's staff at the battle OF Shiloh and
was wounded in the battle of Chickamauga
and also in that of Resaca. At Franklin,
Tenn, he was thanked in general orders
for his distinguished services.
This fight, in which Colonel Thornton
displayed such conspicuous gallantry, took
place on the river Harpeth. The Federal
troops were entrenched on one side of the
river and the Confederates on the other.
Colonel Thornton was ordered to effect a
