 At the morning service in the South church. Rev Dr k. P. Parker prefaced his sermon with tic fol- lowing remarks:
 "I have just now received the dis tressing news that Bishop Tierney suffered a shock last evening, and that his life is now despaired of. Unprepared to speak of him as I would, I cannot withhold some ex> pression, here and now, of my pro- found appreciation of his admirable and lovable character and of his great gifts and services, and also of my sense of personal bereave- ment in his affliction.
 For many years it has been my great privilege to enjoy Bishop Tier ney's friendship-ever since We met so pleasantly at Oberammergau. in 1890, and exchanged sentiments con- corning the Passion Play.
 Tn all our interviews and con- versations since, his cordiality, sim cerity and strong kindliness have inspired me with ever-increasing re- spect and admiration for him. It was so good to meet him and to receive his unaffected greetings and bless ings."
 Rev Dr John Coleman Adams, pastor of the church of the Redeem CT, pays this tribute:I
 % T am greatly shocked and grieved to learn of Bishop Tierney's illness. Although my personal acquaintance with him has not been intimate, I have held him in very great respect and honor He has been one of the strong forces in Hartford and in Con- necticut for righteousness and Chris tiapity. He could always be counted upon to encourage the things which stood for law. order and pure citl- zenship. Especially will be be missed from the ranks of temperance workers. where his influence has been great and far reaching.
 Rev Ernest deF. iMel of Trinity Episcopal church. spoke as follows:
 "The critical illness of Bishop Tier ney is the eause of anxiety and sor- row not alone to those who are mem bers of the church over which he has presided. with such signal wisdom and devotion. but to many who hold him In honor both for himself and for his work's sake

LEFT TRAIL OF DEBTS BEHIND
Town Marshal In Hunt for Miss

things in his Toleston home so that
the neighbors would not get the idea
that he had fed from the city E. M
Grey. produce merchant, absconded
leaving trail of debts and failing to
pay for a carload of eggs which he had
purchased from the farmers
1t is estimated that his speculations
and debts will amount to between So
SOC and $4,000 and Frank Martin. the
town marshall OF ToIeston, is already
taking steps to locate the fugitive.
Grey has been in Toleston for a
period Of a year and a half He has
made it his business to buy farm pro
duce of all kinds and sell it to com
mission merchants in various parts of
the country.
Only recently he told the farmers In
the vicinity of Toleston that he was
about to ship a carload of eggs to Buff
falo and he asked them to sell him all
of the eggs they could so that he could
make up the car.
They were not paid for the eggs but
were promised their money as soon as
the draft was received from New York.
The farmers took his word for it and
lIie Car was undIly lOaQ0Q and sent to
Buffalo. That draft was expected every
day and the farmers were looking for
ward to the early receipt of the money
which was due them.
Today it was discovered that Mrs
Grey has taken a trunk to the depot
last Wednesday, This lead to an inyes
tigation and it was discovered that the
lew live animals which were left ON the
place were the only things of value
there.
These had evidently been left for the
purpose of making it appear that the
Greys were still residents of Toleston
while in reality they had fed to a dis
tant part Of the country.
1t is believed that the farmers will
lost all they have coming from Grey
and the only hope the town marshal
has, is that of bringing the fugitive to
justice.

Gary have taken an interest in the case
as they have several clients who are

Their closest friends predict that it
will not be many months until it will
be to New York for theirs. This is
further proven by the fact that the
Hughes home these springtime days is
the daily scene of much activity. and
together with the daily visits of dress
makers and various deliveries of nu-
merous packages leads the most skeptic
TO believe that there is much truth in
the reports.
