of boiler in the State aims house of the
State of Delaware. After the inquest the

of pipes and tobacco. One of the most prom
inent undertakers in the city was notified to
make frst-class coffin and spare no ex-
pense in regard to the funeral arrangements,
as the dead man was considered wealthy,
and that 1t was always his desire that he

A SPLENDID FUNERAL.

The funeral took place from st. Mary's
Catholic Church, where mass was celebrated
for the repose of the soul of the deceased
The funeral was largely attended by the
friends and acquaintance of the deceased.
Those of the nearer kin were dressed in deep
mourning, and seemed deeply afflicted as
they marched solemnly up the middle aisle
of the church. Rev. Father Kelly preached
a long and eloquent sermon on the uncer-
tainty of life. He told his hearers that they
should be always prepared, as no one knows
the moment he may be snatched away, Just
like the man whose body was present.
After the funeral services the friends and
relatives returned to this city. The next
and most important question was the settle
ment and distribution OF money and proper
ty among the relatives. Patrick had been
always very industrious and saving, and
between money and real estate had accumu-
lated the handsome sum of S10 200, nearly
all of which was in charge of Heald & Co.,
real estate brokers of Wilmington.
The relatives of the dead man in this city
secured the services of Lawyer T. M. DAILY,
of 723 Walnut street, to look out for their
interests. Mr.. DAILY went to Wilmington,
secured the deeds of the property, and sold
some houses and real estate belonging TO
Geogan.
