 Rav p. F. nlneAm

 Rev F. F. Dlneen.
 Early this morning the Catholics of | Waterbury began thronging to the | church of the Immaculate Conception | to look for the last time on the face of ! the dead priest, Rev F. F. Dlneen, and | be present at the final obsequies. In front of the high altar, clothed in purple saceFdotal garments, the de- ceased was laid in a casket of plain black, with satin puff mouldings and solid bar handles of silver with gold mountings, and looking as placid as If enjoying @ natural rest.
 At 9.30 the church was crowded, the children of St Mary's school filling the galleries and the madames and pupils of Notre Dame convent occupying the seats in front. The visiting clergy of the diocese filed into the sanctuary in front of the altar railing and began chanting the office of the dead. The charters were the Rev Fathers Curtin of New Milford, Sweeney of Portland, Anthony, O. 8. Fss of Winsted, Mo Carthy of Stafford Springs and T. Smith of Bridgeport. The lictors were Fathers O'Connor of Fair Haven, Anthony of Wlnsted, B. OR. Sheridan of Middletown, who was also the presid- ing officer of this portion of the cere- monies. At the conclusion of the office
 
 with Father Fitzgerald of Naugatuck as Icelebrant; Rev F. J. Murphy of the Sacred Heart church, deacon; Rev T. May of Baltic as sub deacon; Revs P. J. Kennedy and William Lynch, as masters of ceremonies.
 When mass was finished the Rev Michael W. Barry of Torrington de livered the panegyric. He spoke with marked emotion on the sad event, H khn rf earth, of kinship and acquaintance, ,leav- ing a feeling of sadness and sorrow in the hearts of those left behind. The deceased was called from the trials cares, troubles and temptations of this life to enjoy the reward for which he had so earnestly labored during the few short years that had been allotted to him in the ministry. The preacher portrayed the early life of Father Deneen, how hard and long he had striven to fit him l self to perform the sacred duties of tho , priest. Among all the people from Middletowu where he was born anG passed his young days; of Southineton ' where he had been assigned immediately , after his ordination, and of the parish o the Immaculate Conception, where h' had labored until his death, he wa , loved and respected for his kinC and gentle manners, and almos f child-like endearments. Looking owe l Iall his ife's work there wa 8 cause rather to rejoice than be sad oI Although no more would he be seen a r the altar, in the confessional or at tn e bedside of the dying Catholic, still coul e Catholics rejoice that the reward of tn j faithful priest was now his, and if ther v was anything to be atoned for, he hope s | that the congregation and his brothe i" priests would not forget to importun v the just God to pardon. : The last dissolution was then pro d nounced by the Rev Father Hunt c e ISouthington and once more the mem -- the bier to look upon the dead. Tn I | body was then borne to the hearse b e Rev John Kennedy of Danbury, Re I \ Terrence Smith of Bridgeport, Re |" John Lynch of Hartford, Rev WilliaT n Dullard of Hartford. Rev M.
