GONE TO REST.
Thomas y. Moran's Death
Causes Widespread
Sorrow.

Widespread and very sincere
regret was caused by the announce
ment, which was unexpected so far
as the public were concerned, of the
death of Thomas p. Moran, Bailiff of
the City Court, which occurred Mon
day morning at the home of his
mother, Mrs. Bridget Moran Browne,
Twelfth and Zane streets, the house
In which he was born thirty-seven
years ago and in which he always re-
sided. Bailiff Moran had been un-
der medical care for several weeks,
and his constitution, which was far
from robust, was unable TO shake off
the effects of his trying Illness. Per-
sonally he was one of the most
amiable of men, gentle in his man
ners and upright in character. He
held for several years the post of
Constable, until elected to the i'm
portant position of Bailiff of the
City Court. In that capacity he
won the good opinion of the bar,
city officials and the public, being a
man not only of exceptional capacity,
but of courteous manners and oblig-
Ing disposition. Thomas Moran was
very sincere, practical Catholic,
and particularly charitable in word
and deed. Besides his mother he
leaves one brother, John Moran, and
three sisters, Misses Anna and Mary
Moran and Mrs. Catherine Ahern.
AS a mark of respect no session of
the City Court was held Wednesday
morning, when the funeral took place
and was one of the largest ever seen
at st. Louis Bertrand's church, Of
which the deceased had been a life
long and faithful member. The act
I've pall-bearers were Frank Dugan,
Charles ]. Cronan, Frank Reccius,
Martin Donahue, Clay Hall, Edward
D. 0'Connor, Mike Fallon and
Thomas McDonogh.

they were met by Monsignor Ken
nedy, the Rector; the Vice Rector,
Monsignor O'Hern, and the Spiritual
Director, Monsignor Mahoney, and
accompanied TO the hall of the col
lege, which was decorated with the
Cardinal red. On one side of the
throne was a picture of the Pope,
painted by A. Mullor Ury, of New
York, and on the other side were the
statue of the Immaculate Conception,
q bust of Plus TX, the founder Of
the college; a bust of Washington
draped with the American flag, and
pictures of Cardinal Gibbons, the
late Cardinal McCloskey and the
late Archbishop Kenrick, of st.
Louis. In a corner of the hall was
a group OF American and Papal
flags.
Many prominent ecclesiastics and
Americans witnessed the ceremony
that followed when the master Of
ceremonies was introduced and pre-
sented to the neo-Cardinals Farley,
0'Connell and Falconio the formal
notices of their election. At the same
time he congratulated each heartily.
Official visits followed between the
diplomats and the Cardinals, the
aristocracy, the Knights OF Malta,
high ecclesiastics and many Ameri-
cans now in Rome.
