ON THE LAST JOURNEY.
Remains of Patrick Bremen EN- Route to
Brooklyn-The Funeral Services at
ST. PauIs.

Yesterday afternoon at 2:90 o'clock the
remains of Mr.. Patrick Bremen were
borne from his late residence. 1905 North
Twenty-first street, in beautiful hearse,
followed by his bereaved family and
large concourse of sorrowlng friends, to
st. Pauls Catholic church, where the flu
neral sermon was preached.
Divisions Nos. l, 2 and of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians were the escort of
honor to the deceased and Messrs. j. j.
Curran, ]. d. Harrington, James
Lynagh, w. II. Lodge, p. O'Hagan, z.
OHare, M. Maloney and d. b. Sullivan
were the pall-bearers.
Arriving at the church, where already
an immense coneourse of friends, both
protestant and Catholic, had already as
sembled, the remains, in magnificent
caSket, were tenderly laid before the
high altar while Miss Mary Rabbitte,
the efficient organist of st. PauFs, was
playing an appropriate air on the organ.
Rev. Father p. A. O'Reilly, pastor of
St Paups, took for his text in preaching
the sermon that verse IN St. Paufs letter
to the Hebrews: 1T is appointed unto
man once to die, and after death the
Judgment" Rev. Father O'Reilly paid a
glowing tribute to the deceased, referring
in affectionate terms to the many good
and noble traits Of him whose remains
We're being honored. He spoke in beauti-
ful language of his loyalty to the land of
his birth and his fidelity to the land of
his adoption. He spoke healing words
Of consolation to the bereaved family
and poured oil upon the troubled waters
surrounding them.
Then taking up his text he dwelt upon
the uncertainty of life and the certainty
of death, and showed that we were here
for double purpose, both for the present
and hereafter, and that the certainty of
the latter should not be forgotten while
enjoying the pleasures of the former.
The choir sang beautiful selections ap-
propriate to the occasion, and as the
casket was being again borne to the
hearse there were many tears dropped
by those who had known Patrick Bren-
men in life and who mourned his death.
The remains were taken to the union
depot and placed on board the east
bound Southern train, where they were
accompanied by Mr.. d. L. Bremen
brother, and Dan Bremen, Jr son of
the deceased, on the long and mournful
journey to Brooklyn, N. Y, where they
will be inferred.
The Brooklyn and New York Hibernian
lodges were notified by telegraph of the
departure of the remains and answer was
received stating that the Hibernians of
both cities would pay appropriate honor
to the distinguished member of that or
der.
A large number of friends of the de-
ceased were present at the funeral SER
vice from Atlanta, Montgomery, Bes-
Semer and Pratt City.

Fight on Thurman.
Columbus, o., June 23.-The district meet
1ngs elected the committees for the demo-
cratic state convention tonight. The COM
mittee on resolutions contains but four
members, who are in favor of the present
ngle gold standard They are ]. G. Patter-
on of Dayton, Frank Hurd of Toledo,
Charles J. Estep and J. -. Bremen of Cleve-
land. The other seventeen members are
radical advocates of free silver. This leaves
no further doubt that the convention will
adopt free silver resolution. Contesting
delegations In the Eighteenth district held
separate meetings and selected two sets of
committeeman, one is for gold and the other
for free silver. The silver members will no
doubt be recognized by the convention. The
gold standard democrats being in SO hope
less minority, Will probably make little
protest against the free coinage plank.
Governor Campbell. In an interview pub
1ished this evening, said he was opposed to
sending John w. Bookwalter and Allen w.
Thurman to Chicago as delegates-at-large-
Bookwalter because he had recently de-
nounced the democratic party and Thurman
because he was too radical.
The local democrats are making a hard
fight against Thurman and he may be de-
feated for delegate at-large
The comutttee on permanent organization
has decided to make A. j. Warner, presi-
dent of the American Bimetalic league, the
permanent chairman OF the convention.
This Is to emphasize the victory Of the free
silver faction The credentials committee
agreed to seat the free silver delegates in
the Stark county contest. The resolutions

row morning.
