More OF the Cheney Case.

Chicago. June Sin the wake of
Mr.. Cheney's deposition comes a letter
Of sympathy signed by Mr.. Tying, Of
New York, and many distinguished
Episcopal clergpmen and also laymen in
the United States. 1t is said that there
are members of Mr.. Cheney's congrega-
ton who disapprove Of his conduct OF
church services, and that if he continues
steps will be taken in the civil courts TO
compel the use OF the Protestant Epis-
copal service by ministers in good stand
ing. 1t also hinted that the Bishop
will take some legal way to continue
the Christ Church in the Episcopal
Diocese and compel Mr. Cheney 10
abandon its pulpit. The value OF the
property is $4,000. In the event OF
the Bishop obtaining possession OF the
Christ Church property, and thus as
scmng control of the pulpit, an event
which, it NAV lie added, is extremely
probable, Mr.. Cheney will, we under
stand, preach in this city independently
to any church organization. He has
been offered the use OF manp Eastern
puI pits.
Death from ApOpIeNy.
Andrew Gross, who had charge OF
the German department OF the County
Clerks office, and who issued marriage

was well known among our German
citizens and was universally respected.
Mr. Gross was formerly connected with
the postottice and was - years OF age.
He leaves wife and six children.
Divine Services.
CHICAGO, June 4.-Rev. Stephen II.
Tying, Jr., preached morning and even
ing in Rev. Charles +. Cheneys church
to crowded audiences. Mr. Cheney has
the sympathy of large part Of the
on account OF his eXcom-
from the ministry. His
will probably form an in

Mrs Laura D. Fair, was commenced
in the 10Th District court yesterday.

incompentency OF the jurors impeached.

ants counsel show concluslvety that
