ADDRESSES

on the

Death of Michael Hahn.


PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE.


In the House of Representatives,

March 15, 1886.

Mr. St. Martin. Mr. Speaker, it becomes my painful duty to announce the death of my colleague, Hon. Michael Hahn, a Representative from Louisiana, who died Last night at his lodgings in this city. I will not detain the House now with any remarks of tribute to his memory. Meanwhile I offer the resolutions which I send to the desk.

The Clerk read as follows:

Resolved, That the House has heard with sincere regret the announcement of the death of Hon. Michael Hahn, late a Representative from the State of Louisiana.

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That a select joint committee, consisting of seven members of the House and three members of the Senate, be appointed to take order for superintending the funeral and to escort the remains of the deceased to their place of burial, and the necessary expenses attending the execution of this order be paid out of the contingent fund of the House.

Resolved, That the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House be authorized and directed to take such steps as may be necessary for properly carrying out the provisions of these resolutions.

Resolved, That the Clerk communicate the foregoing resolutions to the Senate.
