Contest Mt st. Marks.
1t took several hours to settle the election
at ST. Marks Church last evening, and the
pls1Sn IleeluuS liot duJodAh oheSA
midnight. There were apparently two
rather distinctly marked parties. The meet
ing was largely attended. The discussions
that prolonged the contest last night were
over questions of order of church law re-
garding the qualifications Of voters and
methods of procedure. Whatever differ
ences existed between the parties as to
matters of parish policy did not transpire
in the meeting or form the subject of dis
cussion. The original differences, it is
claimed, arose year or so ago over the
establishment and support of a mission in
the northeast, one party being opposed to
undertaking the work while the parish was
heavily burdened. Since then other ques-
tions have arisen on which the parties have
taken sides. At the meeting last night the
senior warden, Mr.. John 3. Torbert, SEEM
ed to be recognized as the head or repre-
sentative of the anti-mission party, while
the other side was referred to in converse
ton as the Parkman party, Mr.. Chas. B.
Parkman being regarded as the head and
front of that paroy. The most notable re-
suit of the election was the defeat of Mr.,
Torbert for reelection senior warden
Mr.. Torbert had neld the office for a great
many years. On the first ballot there was
a tie vote of 50 each for Mr.. Torbert and
his competitor, Mr.. Bennett. When the bal
lot was taken over again Mr.. Bennett re.
ceived So votes and Mr.. Torbert 40. 1t was
