The funeral of Daniel Mcguire, whose
tragic death occurred on Wednesday even
Ing from shot fired on election night by
John Croney, took place yesterday afternoon
from his late residence, on Logan street. II
is estimated that between 5000 and 5000
people were In attendance at the time the
procession moved OF. An endless stream
Of people poured through the house for fye
hours yesterday until the I'D of the casket
was screwed down to get view of the
dead. The remains OF the murdered man
lay in an elegant casket Of rosewood, which
was heavily mounted In silver.
The funeral services took place at st.
Paups r. c. Church between ESQ and 8
O'Clock and when the procession moved off
toward the house OF worship good idea of
the extent of the procession could be
secured. Among the bodies in line were
the Democratic City Executive Committee.
the Western Dstsgrzatic Association, the
Edward l.. Martin Club, the Bayard Legion,
the East End Assembly, the West End
Assembly, the Fame Active Association, the
Fleetwood Assembly and the Witsil Senate.

bodies were In line.
The pail bearers were all members of the
West End Assembly. Their names are |:
John NJ. Newell, Robert r. Haley, John j.

nent citizens.
The church could not hold one-tenth of
the crowd. When the doors were opened the
pews which had been reserved we're soon
filled up. The clubs and many, of the
mourners were unable to secure seats. An
appropriate dirge was played as the coffin
was carried up the aisle. The lid was not
raised. On the casket rested number of
beautiful and costly floral offerings The
Western Democratic Association gave a
lerEe cross, with the letters I. II. 8. upon 1t,
and cross with heart and anchor hanging
pendant from II was given by the West End
Assembly. Other offerings were equally
fine. 9
The Rev. j. ]. Rebman conducted the
services. He made no allusion TO the tragic
death Of the deceased. His discourse was
based upon the text, "Save Your,SOul." In
the course Of his address, which was appro-
pirate and eloquent, the reverend gentleman
quoted the last words ofthe dead man hich
were do not believe in death bed repen-
tances but n ] had 10 live my life over again
\ would live entirely differently. III had
been faithful child of the Roman Catholic
Church ! would not be where ] am this
evening"
At The conclusion of the services the
funeral procession moved to the New Cathe-
dfnl Cemetery on Front street where the
ilternent took place. A large crowd went
70 the cemetery. 1t is estimated that the
funeral was the largest that has taken place
In this city for ten or fifteen years.
