The Communication: Was Read ut the
vcs,ry Meeting Last Nisht-No
Definite Action Was Taken in
Reference TO Another Call.
Several Names Be
fore the Vcstry,

Rev. William A. Query has declined
the call extended him recently by tho
vestry of St Paus church.
Mr.. Gucrry,s letter was received by
Mr. w. C. Bentley, registrar of the YES
try, and was read last night before
called meeting Of that body held at Inc
residence OF Dr.. McCaw, No. us east
Franklin street. The letter was written
from Pittsburg, Pa, where DR.. Guerry
IS spending mis- vacation and filling the
vacant pulpit of Calvary Episcopal
church.
Ia The letter read last night before the
vestry, DIR. Guerry wrote:
1T distresseS. me beyond measure TO
be Obliged 10 inform you. and through
You the vestry, that l have decided 10
stay at Sewanee.
THE call that took me to Sewanee
was clear. convincing and unmistakable,
and the one that takes me away must
be die same"
HIGH COMPLIMENT.
He paid a high compliment TO st.
Patilts church and the people by saying:
II could have been very happy among
you, and already there arc bonds be-
tween us which time cannot destroy.
lie closed his letter by saving: MY
= earnest prayer S,ou is lIidt liz "ii4
bless and prosper in every good work
the noble and earnest congregation"
The vestry regret most deeply That
Mr.. Query did not accept their call. but
knowing the man, they feel that he IS
earnest and devoted to his work at Sc
vance, and that nothing at this time
could take him from that field. Mr..
Query has spent the past seven years
at Sewanee, during which, time he has
received many calls to the more promi-
nent churches of both North and South.
Twice he has been asked to become the
rector Of churches in CharleStoWn, 5. C..
his home; one of these calls was to old
ISt. Mielaels Episcopal church, which
congrega ton is one of the most pvomi-
neut and aristocratic in the South. Other
cities to which he has been called are
New Orleans. Pittsburg and Richmond.
DECLINED THEM ALL.
All of these he has declined. and he
has chosen as his life work the making
of the University of .Sewanee the cen
ire of learning, culture and Christianity
for the Episcopal Church in America.
which is Il great and noble undertaking,
and one the vestry Of ST. Paul's wishes
him success in accomplishing. He will
remain in PittsburG through February.
and then return to Tennessee.
The calling of another was discussed
last night al the meeting only in gen
cral way The names now before ttle

Barton Heights, Va, Jan. II, 1900.
TO the Parents d Boys of Barton
Heights:
The shameful conduct of the boys in
the streets of Barton Heights has grown
to such an extent that 1t has become a
public nuisance, and unless the parents
will place the necessary restraint upon
their children and see to their proper de-
pertinent, will be compelled to en-
force the ordinances. Before doing so
I feel it my duty to publish this notice,
as believe you are in ignorance of their
conduct, especially at the drugstore cor
ner.
In this way I place the responsibility
on the natural guardian of the offenders.
and unless the nuisance is Immediately
abated 1 shall instruct the sergeant to
summon the guilty for trial. and will see
that the law is rigidly enforced.

q Major Ttomas A. Brander, one, of the
most distinguished and best-known Con-
federate soldiers, and a greatly-beloved
citizen Of this city, passed away at
his home, No. 100 north Fourth street,
Sunday morning at 1886 o'clock, after q
short but fatal illness.
Ills serious illness was known through
out the city, but news of his death came
with sorrow and regret to his many warm
friends and comrades.
Major Brander did not aspire to politl-
cal llonors, although a true Democrat
and a participant in all city and State
elections He was a lover of the truth
ana a mater of all impure methods and
purposes His relations in business were
always most satisfactory to all parties
concerned.
BUSINESS CAREER.
Major, Brander was for many years en-
gagged in the insurance business besides
taking interest in other business con-
Germs. He was for a number of years
vice-president of the Soldiers Home and
chairman Of the Executive Coqmittee OF
that institution. He was decidedly one
OF the most popular sO1 tle surviving SoAi'
federate soldiers in the State.
Major Brander was with Company F.,
city of Richmond, at the outbreak OF
the war. He was soon thereafter made
lieutenant in the Twentieth Virginia IN
fantry, then stationed in the western part
Of the State. He was under the orders OF
General Garnett, who was killed at the
battle of Gettysburg. Afterwards he
was elected first lieutenant of Letcher's
Battery which was attacked by the Fede-
rails several. times during his campaign.
Then he was promoted to the captaincy.
He was attached to Jackson's division,
but was afterwards promoted to major
of Crenshaw's Battalion. Later on ne
VAS appointed colonel of the battalion and
his commission was made out and for
warded to Five Forks, together with
that OF Captain Cutshaw. Captain Cut
shaw received his commission, but that
of Major iSr1ntiaT WIS never received.
