rector, has been settled by an agreement
that he be paid $1,000 by the congregation
to resign on June 1st. This arrangement
was reached after frequent conferences to
save the parish from disintegration. The
yestrv asked Mr. Maxwell TO resign some
weeks ago, hut he declined to do 50. The
refusal of the vestry to lease the par

the parsonage himself and continued TO
preach. The canOns of the church pre-
vented his dismissal in the absence of
offence against the laws, proved upon trial,

taken as last resort. The trouble was
precipitated 10y MIR. Maxwelps refusal in

porrcspondence of the Richmond Dispateh.l
PETERSBURG, Va, March q, 1890.
There is talk here of bringing out an
independent municipal ticket IN this city
ehould certain contingencies occur and
there are reports also that should any
division occur in the Democratic ranks tho
Republicans will spring a ticket of their
own At the last moment, with the hope of
carving the city. II is hoped, however;
that wise counsels will prevail. that, All
Democratic disagreemeuts will be healed;
and that the Republicans will be relieved
of ali trouble about their ticket.
Apropos Of the discussion about holding
a primary ii is urged 10y some that to hold
a primary would practically give the two
large Democratic wards control OF the
ticket. while in nominating convention
the wards would all be properly represent
ed.
Ii is stated to-day on good authority that
The question Of holding a primary Will be
decided by the Central Committee on next
