the Man Killed in
New York.
STRANGE COINCIDENCE,
All the Facts Concerning the
Dead Man Pointed Toward
the Missing Man.

Patrick Tierney, Of s. Kearny ave-
nue., went ia. New York Saturday
afternoon to identity the body Of John
Ticfncy. who was killed Friday, while
working for y. Walsh, q trucker and
rigger, of 80 Dey street.
The dead man was not the local
mans brother as was supposed, as told

the hair and one or two other charac-
teristies convinced Mr.. Tierney.
1t was peculiar coincidence in
several ways The dead man was
named John Tierney. He had bro
ther in Perth Anboy and sister in
Boston. So had the missing John
Tierney. He was about forty two
years old, and had been working for
Walsh for sixteen years. about the

Work as One.
HAD YESTERDAY
Differences Over the Erection Of
The New Synagogue in Madi-
son Avenue Now Settled.

The Congregation Shaarey Tflloh
and the First Perth Anboy. Hebrew

gogue was undertaken and accom-
plished by the First Perth Amboy
Hebrew Mutual Aid Society with
some assistance Of the Congregation
IShaarey Tiilloh. An agreement was
made between the society aud the con-
greeation April IL, 1904, in which the
society was to complete the synagogue

within two years from the date OF the
agreement this society was to turn

cumbrances, excepting certain mort
gage, and the congregation was to pay

getting no value returned, and many
meetings were held between the two
bodies to affect plan whereby both
could derive benefit from the prop
erty.
/ At yesterdays meeting they con-
clndcd to work hand in hand, with the
stipulation that no one can become i
member Of the congregation unless he
first joins the Mutual Aid Society.
