' The Funeral Yesterday.
The universal esteem and estimation in
which Dr. Fianner was held waseyi
d?nced by the large outpouring of dtU
zens'in attendance yesterday afternoon
on the funeral services. Within our ex
perience we have never yet seen a larger
concourse on any Euch occasion and cer
tainly St.4 James Church, whither the
body was carried from the house, has
never yet held a larger number of per
sona. At half past four o'clock the solemn cor
tege moved fromthe residence of the
family, corner of Third and Chestnut
streets. The body, was carefully placed
within the heirseahd the pal U bearers,
Mr. R. .J. Jones, Gen. M. P. Taylor,
Hon, A. M. Waddell, Col. Ge'cre Har
ris, Capt. Joseph Price.'Mr II. H. Muri
son, Capt. W. If. Northrop and Mr. W.
H. Chadbourn, arranged themselves in or
der beside the hearsetheVgnnl was given
and the long, sad j.rocesaion mo7td in
ilenco forward. It was led by or
ganizations, military and civic, of which
the deceased was a member, the lice be
ing formed, first of the Cape
Fear Light ' Artillery, under the
command of Captain R. V. Price.
the Veteran Corps ot the W. L. I., com
maaded by the President of the Cerps,
CjI. W. L. DeRosset,-then, the Wilming
ton Light Infantry, under command'.- of
First-Lieutenant Thos. C. James, and af
ter that the two Masonic Lodges, St.
John and Wilmington. A. long, line of
carriages, filled with members of the
family and their, friends,' followed the
hearse. - The military battalion was uni
der command of Capt. A. L. DeRosfet, or
the Wilmington .Light Infantry. The
Cornet Concert Club, and the Drum
Corps of the Wilmington Light Infantry
were at the head of the procession.
The church was crowded, with the
exception ot the seats usually reserved
oa such occasions, long before thi sad
procession arrived at ita doors. The
body was met at the door of the sacred
edifica by Rev. D.'s. Watson and Patter
son. Following the body came the fam
ily cf the deceased and then tha military
and civio organizations filed into the
church, seeking standing room where it
could be found. The result was that all
the aisles, North, South and central, were
filled completely with those who .were
glad to obtain even standing room.
There were probably as many persons
outside who failed to gain admittance
. ii Al-
aS mere were anogemer wnum in
crowded church. . .
The music on the occasion was very
sweet and very sad. As the two priests
of the church advanced up the aisle in
advance of tho body, repeating the open
ing sentences of the burial service. Mrs.
M. E. Cushing, at; tke orgaD, softly
played Pleyel's German Hymn (the Dead
March). Arived in front of tho altar
the cassiet, which was covered with choice
flowers, the tribute of loving hands, was
placed on the bier and then the regular
services began, Dr. Watson being
assisted by Dr. Patterson, who read the
beautiful and impressive la c son' from II
Corinthians, beginning : "Now is Chrut
risen from tha deal and become the first
fruits of them that-slept." This was
followed by that pathetic hymn, rendered
by the Choir, "Nearer my God, to Thee, '
which also closed the services at the
church. ' '
The services at the grave in Oakdale
were performed, first by the clergy , and
afterwards by the Masonic order and then
tha mortal remains of Henry G. Tlahner
ware hidden from view by the fast falling
earth. The military salutes follow
ed, six rounds, of two 4;uns each by the
Cape Fear Light Artillery and three vol
leys by the Wilmington Light Infantry
and then, loving hands having covered
the mound with beautiful flowers, the sad
services were completed and the assem.
blage dispersed.
The flag of the old Latham; battery,
that which Dr. Fianner carried frcm Ap
pomattox, concealed next his person, and
alluded to in our last, was carried to the
grave with him.
kaleigh Observer.
We are pained to chronicle the i death
of Col. Henry G. Fianner, of Wilming
ton. We know him well. He was a
modest gentleman, but as brave and at
true as be was modest. In tho earlier
days ot tho war we were tent-mates to
gather as privates in Company I ol the
Eighteenth Regiment, and we learned
then in the vicissitudes of camp life to
appreciate the many excelleat -traits o.
his manly character. After warda tie bo
came a captain of artillery, and comman
ded the Latham Battery, belonging to the
Tenth North Carolina Regiment. He
was indefatigable and zpalous in the dis
charge of bis diity, and was highlv es
teemed as a competent and efficient
officer. It i n w understood that
the last discharge of artillery fired by
the Confederate at Appomattox was , by
his battery and undr lu direction. Af
ter the war he retaruel to Wilmington
and eventually erf.ahlihet with Dr Green
one of the largest and most succesffnl,
drugstores in tht city. In February
1879! he was appointed by Gjv. Vance
tho Chief of Artillery of North Carolina,
which honorary appointment he held at
the time of his death. A few days ago
he was stricken down with paralysis in
the streets of Wilmington and his condi
tion gradually became worse until yester
day afternoon, when he jjinedtbe throng
of noblo spirits who had passed over .tho
river before him.

The' Board of Aldermeu met i i regular
monthly sess'un at the City Hall Mon
day, May 3rd, 1880, at 3 p. m., His Ilor
or. Mayor Fishblate in the. Chair.
The reufing of the miuuti n f ihc last
meeting was disp3M6e iih.
. The Myor announced the death, on
the 1st iest., of Aiderrimt, H G. F anner
of the Second Ward, in tr-e fallowing ap
propriate and feeling remarke:
Gentlemen of the Boaul of Aldermen:
It i my sad duty to announce to 30a
that since our last meeting death hk enter
ed our ranks and taken from our midst onr
genial and generous friend and colaborer
on this board. Col. Henry G. Fianner.
r None of na who mot hero just one mon.h
age would have imagined that in the
short space of time that haa intervened
death would have made such a demand
upon us as to compel us to surrender one
of our most faithful and efficient mem
bers, one who went at tho call ot his
country to do arduous duty on the field
of battle and one who was ever ready at
the call of his fellow-citizens to serve
them in any capacity when their interest
or welfare could be subserved by his able
and persevering efforts. Of this board,
Alderman: Fianner was an efficient and
faithful member, ever cherishing tho in
terests of those whom he represented and
of the comunity at large. Wise in coun
sol, active and energetic, ho infused into
tho deliberations of this board the spirit
of his mind and disDoaition. while his
genial , generous traits of character en
deared him to uaalL Gentlemen, we
deeply regret and sincerely feel our great
and sudden loss.
Alderman Hill made a few appropriate
remarks.
Alderman Bo wden spoke at length and
with much feeling at the loss sustained by
him as a friend and Alderman.
Alderman Myers offered the following
preamble, and resolution which were
unanimously adopted:
In Memobiam.
Whereas, through the inscrutable dis
pensation of Divine Providence a mem
ber of this body has been suddenly taken
from the scene of his labor ontt useful
new, ve, the Mayor and Board of Al
dermen of the city of Wilmington, deeply
mourning tho loss sustained by us and
the community'at large in the death of
Col. Henry G. Fianner, desire to place
upon our records a faint testimonial of the
high regard in which the deceased was
held, in his official capacity as an Alder
man of the city and . as a citizen of this
community. Taken from our midst in
the fall vigor of his manhood and in the
greatest activity of his mental and social
endowments, the Divina1 decree which
deprived the public of a faithful and
efficient .servant, society of a generous,
genial companion and friend and an af
dieted family of a continual reliance and
comfort, falls upon us with appalling
suddenness and leaves us in consternation
at its fatal'effects.
Resolved, thcrefi rc, That we, the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the
city of Wilmington, deeply sympathize
with the family and friends of the de
ceased in tneir sudden bereavement.
Resolved, That Aldermen's Room iu
the City Hall be draped in mourning for
the space of thirty days: that a blank
page of the records of this Board be in
scribed with these resolutions.
Resolved, That the City Clerk transmit
a copy of these resolutions to the family
cf the deceased and to the city papers for
publication.
In offering the resolution, Alderman
Myers said:
Mr. Chairman: There are times in
our lives when we find it impossible to
give expressive uttterance to our feelings,
but figures of speech and even the tongue
fails us when we would say most. Since
our last meeting death has invaded this
board and broken our ranks. This vacant
chair speaks to us all more feelingly
than any words of mortal man and can
not fail to impress us with the shortness
and uncertainty of human life. Only a
few short days since, he who now lies
cold and silent in his grave at Oakdale
was here at his post in a vigorous iman
hood and tho full flush of exuberant
health.
Mr. Chairman, the members of this
board grieve at the loss of one of its most
earnest and faithful members I, sir,
mourn his as friend and companion from
boyhood. As Alderman he was ever
alive to bis duty, to those who elected
him to his seat on tbia board and o the
boat interests of the city we represent.
Sir, the city of Wilmington has sustained
a grievous loss U the ieathf Alderm2n
Henry G. Fianner and I raovf, as tme of
the-few marks of respect we can show
his memory, that this Board do now ad
journ without tranaac in axry fee t, busi
ness, subject to the call of the Chair.

turst ic ai.d busing him, bee i 'eg striking
him with hisritst; tho testimony of the
policeaiAu seemed to bear out t ie statement
mide by accordeon Dick, and the Mayor
told'ihe defendant to hand over So or re
pose in the ,C. P. for ten days,
j David Mallett, the half wittei irrepres
sible, constitutional drunkard, appeared
before the court this nscraing in a new
role, the charge being an affray with
Susn Frank, colored, in . iaJdy 'a
Hollow, yesterday about 1 o'clock.
The evidence seemed to convict both par
ties, and the Mayor sentenced the weman
to pay a tine of $3 or suffer imprison
ment for five dayf. Mallett, the other
party to the affray, was ordered.below for
thirty days to be sent to the Work House.
But His Honor was reminded that this
was the day he had agreed to leave town,
S3 judgment was suspended in his case;'
for the present,' at least. This exhausted
the docket and the Court adjourned.
