Peculiar Position of Mr.. 7. c. Jenkins,
Who Didn't Seek Reelection.

The expected music did not materialize,
but things are not as lovely as they seem.
Mr.. T. c. jenkins, who is a warm sup
porter of DR.. Maxwell, was reelected.
When Mr.. jenkins was seen yesterday he
was much surprised at the result because he
had declined to be agcandidate. Mr.. Hale
said that the vestry had not been notified by
Mr. jenkins, but the latter stated that he
had sent them a note, and he couldn't
imagine what had become of it.
COULDN'T BE A CANDIDATE.
When Mr.. jenkins was asked if he would
resign or continue to serve he said he was
not ready to talk but would DO so in a few days.
Continuing he said:
Il declined to be a candidate for reelection. 1
couldn't be member of a vestry that would
call a new pastor l was satisfied with Mr..
Maxwell. He was good financial manager,
and under his guidance the parish was prosper
Gus. As it is the vestry has put the parish un-
der a debt of s., 900 to settle with Mr.. Maxwell.
suppose the new vestry will favor uriting
Trinity and St Peters, but it will be difficult
matter to adjust
/ think il is a mistake as both parishes were
doing well enough. If St. Peters is united
with us some of the people in Trinity will
have to give up their pews, and they won't do
II without a struggle There are also some
financial considerations to arrange. The fact
is l do not approve of this latest move"
NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
e.la
Maxwell faction declined to talk. He said the
election had nothing to do with the question Of
uniting the churches.
Mr.. Hale's son. who acted as the judge
of the election, was surprised when
he heard that Mr.. Jenkins had
declined to be candidate. He
insisted that the vestry had not been notified
of his resolution. Young Nj. Hale is not heart
and soul in the scheme to unite the churches,
and he admits the difficulties TO overcome are
formidable. Much depends on what kind of
sale can be made of the ST. Peters property.
The election was held from 10 ~ o'clock ok to II
elected to succeed John H. Shoenberger, de-
ceased.
The vestry as it stands is anti-Maxwen and is
supposed to favor the combination Of the two
churches. Mr. Jenkins hopes that the existing
troubles will soon die out. He says that he
Will not be party to any plan that will keep
them alive.
