THE DAVENPORTS AND THORNES.
A Marriage tint I Displeases Two Fathers
—Hurled at East with Her Husband.
Niev York Him.
The remains of Mrs. Lillie Davenport
I’honie were buried beside those ol
her husband, in Hrecnwood Cemetery,
on Thursday, having been brought from
Philadelphia. It is understood that the
reason for the delay was a disagreement
among the relatives, growing out of the
disinclination of members oflhe Thorne
family to have the actress buried in
their family lot. In the deference to
her wish, as expressed a few (lavs before
death, the surviving Davenports made a
request that was at length granted.
Frost Thorne's relatives never recog
nized his wife while she lived, fancying
that Ids marriage with an actress was a
disgrace to the finally. On the other
hand, E. F. Davenport was as inneh
displeased by his daughter’s choice of a
husband, and for a lime would not per
mit Thorne to enter his house. 'lbis
disapproval was based on ids belief that
the young man wan dissipated. After
ward he bee,ame m"re favorably dis
posed, and the couple made frequent
visits to the Davenport home in Phila
delphia. Thorne was not east off by
Ids wealthy family, with whom he con
stantly associated up to Ids dentil in
the disaster in the yacht Mohawk, in
onr harbor; hut they would have nothing
to do with Ids wife, and are said to have
wholly ignored her at his funeral ser
vices, which were held in the beautiful
Staten Island residence of his brother
in-law Commodore <turner, simultane
ously with those oflhe others who hud
been drowned in the yacht.
The moliveof the Thornes in diseonn
teiemeing the marriage was plain. They
were wealthy,and moved in fashionable
■ociely. Frost’s father was a million
aire, and hissisler inarm and a millionaire.
They expected him lo make what they
would regard as a suitable alliance, and
it was set, down in their rules o( pro
priety that singe people are not lo he
associated with, much less married.
The displen nre of Davenport, the tra
gedian, was not "O easily eMilained.
An old friend says that he liked his
profession, and was very resentful of any
imputation, that it entailed disgrace
on (hose wlio followed it. He married
in actress from the Vining family, of
England, while playing an engagement
in that country, and trained his daught
ers for the singe, alibi ngh giving them
a thorough general education. He
favored their marriage with reputable
actors rather than to others. Fillie was
the only one Ihal married, and his be
lief that her husband was a black sheep
in a w cabby family excited his prejudice.
He was also opposed to hei retirement
limn the stage, that being the ini mediate
result of the union.
Fillie was Lf.’t yeans <>ld when, in l*7‘_’,
she was married. She had he< nan ae
tress about live years, first, in this city
under the name of Fillie Vining, in sub
ordinate parts. It was in that period
that she made the acquaintance of Frost
Thorne, who was a frequenter of theaters.
In IH7O, her father became the manager
oflheCliestnnl Street Theater, in Phila
delphia,and in (wo seasons the venture
sunk all his money, leaving him deep
indehl. Fillie was the leading actress
of his com puny, supporting him in his
round of tragic ehanuTors. She was
then very beautiful and popular. She
was able to play a wide range of char
aiders aeeepliildy, from burlesque to
tragedy, ami her father accounted her
the most, promising of his daughters.
Her marriage to Thorne was unknown
to either his or her relatives mil il sevoral
days alter il had taken place, and, when
it did become known, they were forbid
den h* enter the houses of their parents
on either side. Mr. Davenport after
ward relented, as above slated. The
Phonies consented to receive their son,
md ho was put into business hen 1 mid
in Chicago. He is said lo have loved
ids wife devotedly, and lived happily
with her. They had two children, who
ire now living with Mrs. Davenport in
Philadelphia. He did not accumulate
inv properly, and at his death, two
\ ears ago, the widow was left to the
care of her own relatives. She decided
to return to (he stage, mid would have
done so had not illness prevented

i leneral Ihiniside, who was in command
of (he federal forces in Kentucky, ap
prehended two confederate captains,
whom, upon investigation, lie adjudged
to he spies, and executed them hv

when it came to a knowledge of (his
execution, averred that (lie two cap
tains who had thus been summarily
executed hv (ien. Hnrnside were not

retaliation hv hanging two federal of
ficers ol equal rank. Shortly tiller this
Captain Samuel McKee, of the Four
teenth Kentucky (federal) cavalry, was
captured and confined in Libby prison,
ind the confederates relnsed to parole
1 1 i 111 for exchange, announcing that they
would hang him as an odVt t* one ol
the spies hung hv Duvilside. Snhse
qnently a large number of federal ol
Peers were captured at Koine, Ala., and
Winchester, Va. These were all con
lined in Fihhy prison. Richmond, \ a
After the confederates had obtained
possession of all these ollieers there was
an order issue 1 hv (ien. Winder, pro
vost marshal of the confederacy, that
till the federal captains then prisoners
of war, should draw lots l• ascertain
which two of the whole number should
he evented by way of retaliation for the
Kentucky spies.
ihi the morning of the *tb ot Inly,
IHftfi, Iho three hundred officers in lob
by became almost jubilant over the
newH lliiit a flng-of-truce boat had ar
rived ut City I’oinl for the purpose of
conveying the; federal prisoners to An
im|lolin. Thin good news was soon fol
lowed by an order for all the captains
in the prison to report in one of the
lower rooms. This following an close
upon lli(' news of the arrival of the
lliig-of-lruee boat, was regarded as still
more encouraging. The prisoners eon
eluded that the captains were ordered
down for the purpose of bring paroled
preparatory to being conveyed to the
1 1. ait, and that other officers wool I soon
follow. The officers who had been left
were in a slate of intense anxiety to
learn what disposition was to he made
of the captain-". They waited above an
lionr in this stale of suspense when all
the captains returned except two hut
not in the same high spirits in which
they had left; hut, on the contrary, in
the deepest gloom. They had been
forced to draw in a lottery in which the
prize was death. Two of their number
1 1 ad drawn this prize. These were
('apt. Henry \V. Sawyer, of the First
New Jersey cavalry, and John I). Flinn.
of the Fifty-firs! Indiana infantry.
When the captains had reached the
roptn designated, the commandant of
the prison informed them that he had a
very painful duty to perform; that he
hud been ordered thill all the captains
should draw lots to ascertain which two
of them should he hung, by way of re
taliation for the spies hung by (ieneral
Mnrnside. After he had written the
name m each on a small slip of paper
and deposited it in a box he then in
formed them that they could select one
of their own number to draw two names
from the box, and that, the two thus
drawn would sutler death by hanging.
After consultation they concluded that
Ihe lots should lie drawn by Itev. Mr.
Drown, (he venerable chaplain of tin
Fifth Maryland infantry, who was ac
cording! v sent for imd consented to
perform the solemn work, and the re
sult was that (’nptiih’s Sawyer and
Flinn drew tin* prize of death. Alter
this all the captains, save Sawyer and
Flinn, were returned to their former
(piarters. The latter were escorted to
(ieneral Winder’s headquarters, where
sentence of death by hanging was for
mally passed upon them, to take place
nl some time and place to hi" named by
I‘resident Davis. They were returned
to the orison and routined to the cells
Cor some days, hut after a time they
were permitted to remain with the
other ollieers during the tiny hut fasten
ed in cells during the night.
The authorities of the federal govern
ment. upon learning of the condemna
tion of Sawyer and Flinn, and believing
the condemnation to he groundless, im
mediately ordered (ien. Fitzhiigh Fee
and ('apt. Winder, son of (Jen. Winder,
who were then confederate prisoners in
the hands of the federals, into close eoii
(inement, and informed the confeder
ate authorities that if Sawyer and
Flinn were executed Fee and Winder
should stiller death in the same man
tier. When the confederate authorities
learned this (hex modified their treat
ment of Sawyer and Flinn, and placed
them on the same fooling with other
federal paisoners. After this Imt little
'was ever heard of the matter. The day
of execution was never named h\ the
confederate president. Sawyer and
Flinn were paroled with others and sent

most delicate white l , 'rriu , li china. My

They were my pride and delight ; nn

i Man Without brejudiees-How he Pro*
posed to Make a Jury Agree,
Presently the stillness ef the court
room was interrupted by the entrance
of a man who came in with a shuttling,
unsteady step, and with his hat in his
hand. Me halted and leaned against
the railing. Nobodv took the slightest
notice of him, however. At last he
took courage and spoke:
“ Is the Judge in?”
The clerk immediately awoke Ids
honor.
“ Well, what do yon want?"
“ I’m looking tor a job, your honor.
I've been looking for work over a
month."
■‘There is nothing for you here.”
"I thought ye occasionally gave jury
men a job, 1 don't read newspapers
any. and hi ing a stranger in town 1
haven't got any prejudices agin any
body. A pan! of mine wrote down to
me at Reno, last, week, and said that the
jury business up here was brisk an’it
would pay to conic up. As I'm a
stranger to yon and a little bard up, I'll
start in and si rve for a case or two
for half price till yon kin sr what I
kin do."
” \A bat am your main ijualiliealions?”
"My strong suit is makin' a jury
ag*ee. No juries ever gi I hung if I’m
i n’em. I just lay low till they lake
the first ballot, then jine the majority
and argue the rest into it. I can dis
count any lawyer talking; i can show
'em up points they never tumbled to
before. Sometimes I have to use force,
Imt seldom. Once, down at Tmckee,
in a murder case, they were a couple
of fellers standin' mil agin'bangin’and
after arguing with ’em as smooth and
gentlemanly as I could for over a quarter
of an hour, I went for ’em with chairs,
and by the linn* I'd busted half a dozen
pieces of furniture over ’em they went
glad to come in with a verdict of mur
der in the first degree,' and the feller
was bung not long afterward. In (lie
justice courts I can get on the jury, and
if you'll just give me a wink as to how
yon want the case to go. I'll guarantee
to fetch in the verdict ymi want, or not
take a cent."
The man was told to drop round
again in a day or so and they would try
and make a vacancy for him. In order
to do it, however, some regular juryman
will probably have to be discharged.—
