MORTALITY RECORD.
 Deaths and Funerals of People Well
 Known Here.
 The parishioners of. the Immaculate | Conception church and in fact all the Catholics in the city were astonished to- day upon learning of the death of the Rev Patrick H. Dineen, second assistant at the Immaculate Conception church. The news came so suddenly and the de- ceased priests illness was of such short | duration that many could scarcely | realize that it was true.
 Father Dineen had not been in robust | health for some time. Last Wednesday | he went to Westfield to see a sick \ friend, who lived at some distance from the town. The roads were in terrible | condition and the young priest con tracted a severe cold. No alarm was felt until Sunday afternoon when pneu- | monia began rapidly to develop. Doctors Mcdonald, Griggs and O'Hara did all that was possible, but their efforts were futile and at 11:30 last night Father Dineen tTeathed his last. At his bedside were the priests of the parish and the father and mother of the deceased, who had come over from Middletown in response to a telegram. The parents grief was heartrending and consolation to them almost impossible. Rev Patrick H. Dineen was born in Middletown in November, 1862. His parents were Mir and Mrs Maurice Dineen, who own a farm on the out skirts of Middletown and West6eld. At an early age he showed @ desirel to study for the ministry and when 16| years of age he entered St Charles col
 lege, Ellicott City, Md. He remained
 there four years, going then to the seminary of Our Lady of Angels, Niagara Falls, N. Y. Four years ago he was ordained to the priesthood. He was first appointed assistant to Rev M. A. Hunt of Southington, where he re- mained three years. Nine months since
 he came to Waterbury as curate under
 Rev J. A. Mulcahy. Since his advent
 among the people of this city he has among the children, in whom he took a deep interest, his labors in St Mary's
 school endearing him to the little ones. With kind word and smile for all he
 was indeed beloved and his death will
 be sadly mourned. .-.e
 | Undertaken Lynch will have charge of the funeral arrangements. The body will be enclosed in a black broadcloth casket and this afternoon at o'clock church where it will lie in state. At 9:30 tomorrow morning solemn re- uuiem high mass will be sung by Rev John J. Fitzgerald of St Francis church, Naugatuck; Rev M. A. Barry of
 Torrington, deacon; Rev T. May,
 Baltic, sub-deacon; Rev Fathers Ken
 nedy and Lynch masters of ceremonies After the services at the church the
 burial will take place at Calvary ceme- tery in temporary grave. AS soon as Arrangements can be completed & plot
 will be set aside in the cemetery for the
 burial of deceased priests and sisters,
 and the body will then be permanently inferred.
 Father Dineen's only relatives are 8
 father and mother and one brother.
 Rev J. A. Mulcahy invites the church Icommittee to be at the rectory this Ievening to make any arrangements
 necessary for the funeral. Rev Father Kennedy went to Hartford this morn- ing to consult with the administrator of the diocese, Rev Father Hughes, and
 possibly some of the arrangements may
 be changed. ARCHIBALD ELIJAH RICE.
