DIVIDED sT. PHILLIP's.
Additional ResignRtiOns of Vestrymen
Handed in and Acted on.

Additional ResignRtiOns of Vestrymen
Handed in and Acted on.
ATLANTA, March 1.-THE yestrymen
of st. Phillips Church held another meet
ing to-day. 1t was understood thai this
meeting was to be held for the purpose Of
considering the advisability OF calling
together the congregation of the parish to
discuss the present condition Of affairs in
st. Phillips Church and take some action
with reference to the division now exist
ing in the congregation in consequence OF
the removal of DR.. j. g, Armstrong from
the pulpit of that church. This matter,
however, for prudential reasons, was not
brought up, and Instead a business meet
ing was held. The resignation OF Edward
). Gay, Treasurer, and j. FL. ketner,
Secretary, as members Of the Vestry, and
of N. z. T. Finch, also a member OF the
vestry. were read and accepted. Jack
w. johnson was elected Secretary
to ill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
tiOn of Mr.. Kitner, aud DR.. G. T. Brockett
and L. j. Hill were elected to fill the va
cancies OccasiOned by the resignation Of
Messrs. Finch and Kitner.
THE INDEPENDENT CHURCH TALK.
It's currently reported on the streets
that other members of the vestry have
their designations written out to be pre-
sented at the next meeting. Their object
in holding them back is to avoid dong
anything that is calculated TO leave St.
Phillips without quorum of vestrymen.
These designations, it is said, will be pre-
sented at the first meeting of the vestPy
that is held. There is also much talk on
the streeUs about building an independent
church for DR.. Armstrong. Public opinion
seems to differ as TO the advisability
of this movement. The friends of DIR.
Armstrong, who are among his strongest
admirers, think money could be raised to
build church and that when completed
the church would be filed by the friends
OF the reverend gentleman On the other
hand a good portion of st. Phillips ex-
press a determination to stand by st.
Phillips through thick and thin. They
also say that there is no provision made
for an Independent Episcopal church and
that the Bishop would not recognize such
an institution.

CADET ENGINEERS.

Secretary whitney Restores y Dis
charged Glass to the Navy.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Secre-
tary of the Navy has issued a general
order restoring to the navy the cadet
engineers who were dismissed therefrom
under the provisions of the act of Aug. 5,
1882, relating to the discharge of surplus
graduates at the naval academy. 1t has
since been decided by the Court of Claims
and the Supreme Court that as
the cadets in question graduated
in 1881 and 1882, after four
years cruise and had been finally exam
med after two years. cruise, they were
not subject to the provisions Of the act of
August 8, 1882. Some of those dismissed
declined to acknowledge the discharge.
while others accepted the one years pay
provided for those who accepted the dis
charge. The Attorney General, in an opin-
ion on the su bject, held that acceptance or
nOn-acceptance OF the discharge and pay
thus rendered does not alter the legal
status of any cadet engineer who, under
the aforesaid erroneous construction of
the law, was designated and notified of
his discharge as surplus graduate. All
cadet engineers are now regarded as on
waiting orders. and as having been on
waiting orders since the date when they
were notified that they were discharged
from service, and are in direct line OF
promotion.

THE sENATE's DUTY.
TO protect the characters thus insidu

duty OF the Senate, and IN this was TO be

OF the Senate Judiciary Committee i'm its
attitude concerning these suspensions.
In his further argument Mr.. Wilson fol-
lowed the line OF Mr.. Edmunds' speech
on Iuesday-that law and precedent were
against the position assumed by the
President and his Cabinet when they
affirmed that the right OF suspension was
distinct from that Of appointment and
was Independent of revision by the Sem
ate, adapting it, however, TO his assump-
ton that protection OF the character OF
suspended officials was prime factor in

press the Senate to ''stick to'' these resO-

feel disposed to press them to cOnolu-

CHARLESTON, March 11.-There was
very favorable opening Of the lenten sea-
son yesterday. The services at all the

Bishop Northrop, in his rules for Lent,
allows the use Of meat four days in the

known that one of the few official acts Of
Archbishop Corrigan was to restrict the
use of meat in his archdiocese to one day

TRAINED NURSES.
The war about the school for trained
nurses has been revived by a message
from the Mayor who explains why tn eusal
appropriation was withheld. The city's
objection to the present method of con-
ducting the school was. that the persons
who availed themselves of its advantages
were in a majority OF instances ladies
from outside the city. The city paid
them $40 month besides their board and
education. 1t now proposes to restrict
the school tc city people who will be paid
So a month, and with this understanding
the necessary appropriation will be made.
The circus craze continues. Another
dime show has reached here, and so great
has been the rush to attend the perform
ances that hundreds of people are turned
