The property Of Edwin U. Lathrop was sold late Saturday afternoon by MT Lathrop to James w. Hodson. for $76, 900. MT Hodson gave MT Lathrop a mortgage for $2aO0O and assumed all the other nortgages which amount to about s41.600. On the other hand MT LAthrop gave MT Hodson a war ranty decd guaranting him protection against the attachments levied by Mrs Lathrop and her counsel Attor- ney O'Nelll and which amount to about $S5,OOO.
 By thIs transaction 1t was reported to-day that MT Lathrop will involve himself in further lawsuits and that his wife will in all likelihood apply to the probate court to have conserya- tor appointed over him, to protect the mortgage for $23,OOO which MT Hod- son gave him on the property.
 Ruring the trial of Mrs Lathr0p's case against her husband for mainten- ance 1t was testified to by Q number of witnesses that the property in question was easily worth from ESQ., GOO to $85,OOO, 50 that according to that testimony MT Lathrop suffered a loss of from 5000 to &10,0O0 In the sale of his property. This is one of the grounds on which the rum0r re- garding the probable application for the appointment of conservator IS based. There Is another. It is that by this sale Mir Lathrop gave away the greater part of his income. He received in rents from the property about $500 a year, while he will re- ceive from the mortgage of $23,OOC only about SLIGO year, calculating at five per cent per annum.
 Colonel Burpee did not care to say anything about the matter only that he had not heard the rumor. He said the sale was made because MI Lathrop wished to pay his debts. but what they amounted to he did not feel at liberty to state. He did not think that an application to appoint conservator over his client would be at all successful, but that Mrs Lathrop's counsel would try to make all the trouble possible for him he did not doubt. He held that his client pronted by the sale of his prop orty.
