LATHROP SUIT
Father Now Suing Son For Pos
 session of Helrlooms.

The affairs of the Lathrops which
 have been before the public for about
 four years took turn this forenoon
 that was not unexpected. Harry L..
 Lathrop was sued by his father Ed-
 win U. Lathrop for possession of cer- tain articles of furniture and heir- looms which mutual friends agree in saying would have become the sons
 property bye and bye but for his su- ing his father quite recently for some $3,000 which his mother was supposed to have left in bank at the time of her death. That case was decided in favor of the father. When I.athrop senior was in the initial stage If his long litigation, that is, removing his furniture from his home on Chestnut avenue, 1t will be recalled thst Latin rop junior went up there one day with Constables Gillette and Booth to take possession of certain things. Mrs Lathrop testified that the men scared the life out of her almost by their be- haviour and left her with hardly a stick in the house. taking things, she said, that belonged to herself as we'll as to her husband.
 Among the affairs Harry is charged with having in his possession now are several things that have been In the family for years and are considered heirlooms, things of no particular in- trinsic value but from their associa- tion considerably appreciated by La- throp senior. It is now said that if Harry Lathrop had not sued his father his possession of these things would never have been disturbed. And the action begun to-day by MT Lathrop against his son is believed to be only the beginning of the end.
 This afternoon the replevin papers were issued to Constable Carmody from the office of Burpee & Carmody. The actual value of the goods is about $400.

Former Waterbury Priest in
 Serious Condition.

Collinsville. June 10.-Rev J. B Clark. pastor of St Patrick's Roman Catholic church, and a former curats at St Francis Xavier church, Water bury. is in a precarious condition as the result of being thrown from his saddle horse Saturday night near Terry's saw mill on the road to Can ton. The presumption is that the horse took fright and shied, throwing him to the ground. He was picked up unconscious and taken to his home bleeding from cuts on his head and from one ear. Dr s. S. Campbell at tended him and yesterday two Hart ford physicians were called. Serious internal injuries are feared.
 The accident was the means of giv- ing the town genuine murder scare. Oliver Case and William Johnson dis covered the unconscious priest in the road and said that they saw two men running away. They made no inves- tigation but immediately alarmed tho town with the information that a murder had been committed. The authorities hastened to the spot but before they arrived Father Clark had been removed.
 Constable Walter Wilder arrested two Italians on suspicion and Medi- cal Examiner Lewis and Deputy Sherin A. H. Cushing were investi- gating when word reached the place that no murder had been committed but that Father Clark had been in- 1ured and had been carried home. Be- fore this word was received fully 800 people had gathered at the scene of the accident.

SACRED HEART PARISH
First Holy Communion Tester
 day and a Reception.

Yesterday at Sacred Heart church there was public celebration of the feast of the sacred heart, the feast of the church. At the morning mass A boys and 27 girls received their first holy communion. For the past eight months these children have been pre- pairing to receive the holy eucharist, being instructed by the Sisters of Mercy, some every day in Sacred Heart school, and the public school children several times week. The boys occupied one side of the center aisle, and the girls the other. The boys wore dark suits and rosettes of white ribbon, with communion medal. The girls were arrayed in white, with wells and medals. Dur ing the mass and afterward the chill dren sang hymns in such sweet and deliberate manner as to show the careful training they had received from the Sisters of Mercy.
 In the evening at vespers and benediction about 100 boys were re- ceived into the Sacred Heart Guards. The act of conservation was read by Martin Doran. The boys looked like real guards of the sacred heart of our Lord when, having received their medals and red badges, they marched to their seats.
 Before the reception and after the boys themselves alone sang several hymns that for sweetness and har- mony could rival large choir of girls.
 The scene at both services yester- day, was very beautiful inspiring and dignifying. The altar was profusely decorated with cut flowers, potted plants and many candles, making beautiful display. The music by the choir was credit to the occasion.
