The mem bers of Cathedral Council have

the exclusion of Moholy's body from the
church Arrangements had been made 10
have the three bodies taken into the
church together. Chief Sullivan had seen
ArchbiSh hop Riordan in regard to the mat
ter, and verything had been agreed upon
satisfactorily.
Il called on Archbishop Riordan las
Monday, said Chief Sullivan, "and told
him of the departments wish that the
three brave fellows be borne into the
| chuTch together. / explained that
Moho!y, in life, was Mason as well as a
, "a thollc, and Efter short time the Arch
bishop consented. He ordered his secre-
lary, Father Mulligan, to inform Father
Oray OF MS decision, and | then returned
to my office, relieved to think that the
matter had been so nicely arranged.
The following evening, however,
rather Mulligan called and told me that
Father Gray refused TO consider the
proposition and that other arrangements
must be made. / had Archbishop Rior-
cans consent, and fused to change my
pans or in any way submit TO Father
Gray. Poor Mohoiy's body was refused
admlttance TO the church, and the event
has sadGened me.
Mrs. Moho.y, the widow o. the dead
fireman, spoke bitterly of the manner in
which the body of her husband had been
treated. Father Mulligan and Bishop
Riordan's clerk came to US and said that
everything would be all right" she said
ne tolo US TO be at the church ut 10
o clock. and that the BODY would be re-
ceived In the church and blessed. He said
that he would have priest down at the
church to attend TO the matter, or, if he
could get no one else, that he himself
would be there to bless the body. he said
we could certainly depend on him; and
when we got to the church we were re-
fused admittance by Father Gray, and
Father Mulligan did not appear. It's a
good thing, she continued sadly, "thai

with their injured friend and died reaching
out their hands to aid him.
You, their friends and fe fellow-citizens honor
them Tor their noble sacrifice. The church of
God, of which they were me m bers honors
them with high and solemn ceremonies.
We pray that God may hon or them in his
courts. We mourn, bnt not as men without

De leVe, that death is the end of all existence
/ 4 pray COD there are none such here). We
mourn as those who know that death but
opens the gates of eternal life.
The religious ceremonies over, the
bodies were borne out OF the church, and
the band struck up the sad strains of
Chopln's funeral march. Miss Emma
Hale, keller's fiancee, was pitifully affected
as the body of the dead fireman was car
RED down the steps. The grief of Halli-
mans aged mother was no less affecting.
The bodies having been placed in the
hearses, and the mourners having re-
entered the carriages, the cortege pro-
ceeded toward Third street, up New Mont
gomery street to Market and out Market
to Oak and Octavia streets.
The funeral procession was headed by
four OF the Fire Department wagons bear
ing the floral EN- b ems sent by friends Of
the dead firemen. Among the most elabo-
rate pieces were floral representations of
chemical engine 6 and 6 ngine and truck
!, 10 which Moholy, Keller and Hallinan
respectively belonged.
A representation in red flowers of box
l57, with the inscription "The Last
| Alarm, " was another beautiful piece.

twenty-four police officers under Captain

At 10 o'clock the three hearses had ar
rived in front of ST. Patrick's church on
Mlsslon street, near Fourth. The hearse
bearing Moholy's remains was in the
center, with Keller's to the left and Hall-
mans to the right. All halted before the
church and the caskets bearing the
bodies of Hallinan and Keller were
carried inside. The fact that Moholy
was Mason debarred him from the rites
OF the Catholic Church, so his body re-
NAMED In the hearse and the mourners in
his funeral procession waited while the
services over Keller and Hallinan were
held inside
st. Patrick's was crowded to its fullest
capacity. Mourners and curiosity-seekers
packed the vast edifce and crowded even
up 10 the side affairs to get a glimpse OF
TIE earthly remains OF the fires victims.
sole mn high mass was celebrated by
rather Quinn, celebrant; Father Bren-
nan, deacon; and Father Keane, sub-dea-
con. The mass was Cherubini's ',Massa

passages and one rarely rendered on ac-
count OF its difficulty. The music YVES
rendered by Organist J. II. Dohrmann:
Miss Higgins, soprano; Mrs. Parent. alto;
Mr.. Mesmer, tenor; and Mr.. Richards
basso.
Father Brennan delivered an impressive
sermon, in which he paid an eloquent
tribute TO the dead fremen. He said:
The Catholic church is not much given to
preaching over her dead. 1t is her way 10
pray over them rather, and in this ch urch
particularly IL is not customary 10 preach any
funeral sermon
This occasion is, however, surrounded by so
many sad and heartrendiDg circumstances
that the rule Of the church is deviated from
somewhat.
Here to-day before us lie the remains of two
men VINO but three short days ago were hale
and well as any of you are.
We have proof here to-day. if proof were
needed, that death comes not only to the aged.

. Next came two platoons of uniformed
hremen, under District Engineer Waters.
They were mostly the drivers of the vari-
Gus trucks and engines in the City. Hal
imam was the driver of truck 1, and the
drivers of all the firehouses were eager to
show their respect for him. A long line

Those who escorted Keller's remains to

The funeral procession was severaI

left Market street and proceeded to Oak
