CHICAGO, June i7.--A despatch
to the Tribune from sterling. IllJsays:
From a strong man physically and
mentally TO an inmate Of an insane
asylum wrecked both in mind and
body Is the metamorphosis Of a
prominent. minister Of this city,
through the falIucination that he had
told lie about member Of his con-
gregation
The decline Of the preacher follow
ing the birth OF his delusion was rapid
Only a few weeks sufficed to trans
form him from vigorous, aggressive
exponent Of the Gospel to a subject
for legal inquiry.
The Rev. Ezra Florry has for a
long time been the pastor Of the
Church OF the Brethren better known
as the Dunkard Church in this city
Mr. Florry taught literal interpreta-
ton Of the Bible. No word Of his
mouth admitted Of doubt until a short
time ago His intimate friends were
puzzled one day TO hear him speak
OF injuring one of his devotees by
speaking untruthfully Of him.
The investigation showed that this
only existed in the mind OF their pas
tor and they endeavered to lead him
away from his morose thoughts.
Their efforts were of no avail.
From dwelling upon the subject
among friends, the minister continued
until he included all to whow he talk
ed in his self-denunciation. Reference
to the bugaboo which enthralled him
began to creep into his sermons.
Then the delusion became even
more firmly fixed and grew to the ex-
tent that he imagined himself pursued
by the person he thought he had
wronged. At last il became impera-
tive that something be done. His case
was taken into the probate court and
last night, after having been adjudg-
ed of unsound mind, he was taken to
an asylum.
Before coming to this city, Mr..
Florry was a. resident Of Dayton,
Ohio, where he was widely known
among members. Of the Dunkard
Church.

CHICAGO, June H.-It was after
4 q. m. today when the committee on
credentials, after an all night session,
passed upon the last contests, closing
the list with the cases covering the
entire State OF Texas case was decid-
ed by the committee in accordance
with the previous decisions Of the
national committee and In almost
every instance the seated delegate
was one instructed for Taft. A de-
senting report will be made by the
minority Of the committee.
In the Tennessee cases the decis-
ions Of the national committee were
all confirmed, the contests involving
the delegation at large and the sec
ond, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh,
eighth and tenth districts--all but two
OF the entire state. Practically the
whole time was devoted to the sec
ond district, represented by Con-
gressman N. W. Hale. He was op-
posed by R. w. Austin, formerly
United States consul general at
Glasgow and now candidate for the
republican campaign nomination.
The cases OF the tenth, eleventh
ad twelfth districts Of Missouri were
decided in favor of Taft delegates as
they were by the national committee.
just after 4 a. IN. the Texas cases
were completed, all the Taft dele
gates being seated, in accordance
with the previous difficulties OF the
national committee. The Texas cases
covered the entire list.
This completes the list of contests.
In the Arizona case the committee
seated the Sloan-Powcll delegation in
accordance with the recommendation
of the national committee. This was
not case of Taft or anti-Taft, The
territory is entitled to two delegates,
four had credentials and the proposi-
tion was made that all four be seated
with half vote each. The committee
refused to do this.
