 CHICAGO, May 26.-In all its detail the fu- neral of Dr. P. H. Cronin was 8 most remark able affair. From one end of the big proces- sion to the other, through the endless crowds on the streets, among the throng in the great cathedral, the dead mans fearful fate was present in every mind.
 The corpse had been lying in state in the Cavalry armory on the lake front, the most central point in the city, and there early this
 morning the morbid and curious with the dead mans friends made their pilgrimage. Armed sentries from the Hibernian Rifles stood at each corner of the raised platform on which reposed the catafalque and coffin. A crayon portrait of the dead man draped in black stood near the coffin. A huge cross of white pinks and Marguerites woven in with smilax was at the head of their bier and a harp and smaller cross stood at the foot. A candelebra with seven tapers diokered in front of the cross; ropes of green smilax and white roses were looped from the coffin, and about the catafalque potted plants were grouped at the corners of the platform. A canopy of American flags hung above the the bars about it.
 A crowd that jammed Michigan avenue before the armory and the police with diff crlty kept a passageway open for those who wished to enter the funeral hall. For three hours the procession in double file marched across the platform. Only the picture and the big silver plate on the coffin lid testified hat all at yvoa Yaorta1 nf nr p CrOnin was within the casket. When the procession stopped the pallbearers entered. At their head was Luke Dillon of Philadelphia, Pa., Edward O'MeaghreC Condon and Thos. P. Tuite of Detroit, Mich. Following them were several other prominent Irish-Amerioans.
 They represented the friends of the dead man and societies to which he belonged. Leaving the armory the casket was placed in hearse drawn by four black horses, and the procession was formed. At it's head was 8 platoon of police, with Lieutenant Wilson in command. Marshal P. J. Cahiil and his aides rode at the head of the line. A drum corps preceded the Hibernian Rifles with arms reversed and then came the cortege with its hearse in panoply of black and guard of honor from the Rifles and the slI-bearers. The Clsn-na-Gael Guards in grey uniform, the uniformed rank of the Royal Arcanum in it's olive-colored suits and thousands of members of the Ancient Order of United Workmen without uniforms came :next. The. Ancient Order of Hibernians, 1,000 strong, several courts of the Independent Order of Foresters, ], 200 in all, and 2,7O0 Catholic F'oresters, were in line The uniformed members of the Royal Arcanum, the Loyal league, the Sheridan Rifles, the Catholic Benevolent Legion and fragments of a number of other orders swelled the line. Marshal Cshill said that TITO men were in the procession. The line was thirty-fye minutes passing the corner ot Indiana and Rush streets, four abreast Four bands and . dozen drum corps played dirges or marked the slow time of the tuner al march. Scores of furled flags draped h black and society banners edged with crape were carried by the standard bearers.
 Reaching the cathedral of the Holy Name an immense crowd was encountered. The vast edfnce wus packed two hours beforo the ceremonies began. On the approach of the procession the bell in the cathedral tolled and the organ pealed forth slowly 8 solemn march. The pallbearers with their burden moved up to the center aisle and lowered the casket on q eatafalque in ebony trimmings The candles of the funeral service were placed beside it and the ceremonies of high requiem mass began. Schmidt's requiem mass was sung. Rev. Father ARnew was the cslebrant of the mass, with Rev. Father Per pier as assistant.
 The sermon was by the Rev. Father P. J. Muldoon. After the church services the procession reformed and marched to the Union depot where trains were waiting to convey the throng to Calvary cemetery. Over three thousand people were at the cemetery waiting the arrival of the funeral trains. Ar. irving at Calvary the marching orders were speedily placed in line and the body was carried to the public vault. No exercises of any sort took place at the cemetery. Among the persons who followed the bier from the fc ha oh and fn fha tery were Dr. Cronin's sister and brother-in- law, Mir and Mrs. Carroll of St. Cstharines, Ont, and his brother, John K. Cronin of Ar. kansas, and MT. and Mrs. T. T. Conklin, with whom the doctor had resided while ir Chicago.
 Dr. Cronin's body will be left in the vault at Calvary until his friends purchase a ioi and arrange for public interment.
 PHILADELPHIA, May 26.-The Record to morrow will say:
 Peter McGeehan, who mysteriously disap. peared from this city three months ago and was next heard of in Chicago, where it is al legged he threatened the life of Dr. Cronin was arrested In that city yesterday. The ar rest of McGeehan is thought to foreshsdov other arrests because 1t is known that he hal been under the surveillance of the PinkertoI detectives ever since the disappearance o Dr. Cronin on the 4th inst. Though he wal constantly shadowed 1t was deemed wise no to arrest him until important evidence wal obtained to demonstrate how far reaching was the conspiracy which had for it's objeo the murder of Cronin. The arrest of Mo Geehan is interpreted in local Clan na-Gae circles to mean that the net is being drawr in by the detectives and that it will eventu ally land all the participants in the fou crime.
 Another arrest has been made in connec l ton with the Cronin murder. The mal King, described by the prisoner Woodruff alias Black, as the person who hired him t' steal horse out of Deans barn the night o the doctors disappearance was captured
