The Pail Bearers.
Shortly after 1890 the pail bearers,
Luke Dillon, of Philadelphia; Thomas
Tuite, OF Detroit; Edward O'Meagher
Condor and John Dewey, of New York;
Frank T. Seaman, p. McGarry, Charles
Barry, Michael Kelly, Daniel Sullivan,
Thomas McEneney, Dudley Scion and
John I. Golden, of Chicago, took up the
caslxet and slowly bore their burden to
the hearse in waiting outside, the inn
mense mass OF people parting to make
an avenue and standing in silence and
with uncovered heads as the cortege
passed before them.
The large body of Ancient Order of
Hlbernians was formed in two lines,
stretching north on Michigan avenue,
facing each other. Marshal Cahill and
two aides on horseback led the process
sion. They were followed by guard of
fifteen police officers marching abreast.
Then came the Hibernian rifles, 100 uni
formed men, with arms reversed.
A Procession of 5000 Persons.
The hearse, drawn by four black
horses, and heavily draped with Grape,
came next, the pail bearers marching on
either side. Four carriages with mourn
ers followed immediately behind the
hearse, and then came the Gamma Gael
guards In their gray uniforms, with col
ored plumes, leading a way for a body
of the Royal league. A large concourse
of citizens, each with Grape upon the
arm, and the different societies particle
pating made a procession of 5000 per-
sons.
The whole street, from the sidewalk
clear up to the line marchers was
tlronged with solid mass of people
along the whole route from the armory
to the cathedral of the Holy Name,
where the services were held. The great
body OF the edifice was crowded to its
utmost capacity, there being not less
that 5000 persons present.
sc the Cathedral.
The head of the eortege entered the
wide open doors. and slowly the pro-
cession passed up the central aisle, while
from the organ sounded the mournful
ssLamentation, by Guilmont. The
funeral sermon was delivered by Rev.
Father Muldoon, chancellor of the do
cese.
After the solemn ceremonies of the
church had been performed the great
procession again fell into line and the
vast assemblage took up the march for
the Milwaukee and ST. Paul depot It
took over an hour to seat the procession
lists and the friends and sympathizers
with DR.. Cronin, to the number of $500,
in the three trains. The run out was
accomplished without incident and oc-
cupied some thirty minutes.
At the Cemetery.
The body. being disembarked, was
conveyed into the cemetery upon a car
riage and was placed in the receiving
vault without any ceremonies of any
kind. As the remains approached the
vault a guard of honor, composed of
with their swords under which the pail
bearers and mourners passed. Notable
among these was DIR. Cronin's sister,
Mrs. Carroll, of st. GATHERINGS, Ont,
whose identity was almost lost in long
mourning veil of heavy Grape.
A startling Development.
