Council of the East Carolina
Diocese Adjourns.
THERE is NO ELECTION
LaitY and Clergy Locked Horns--- The Result is
Ths! the Diocese Will b. Practically
Without Bishop Until
Next Nav.
Especial to News and observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Goldsboro, N. c., Oct S-The clergy
and laity locked horns in the council of
the East Carolina Diocese, in session in
this city, for the election of a Bishop Co
adjutor, and the result is no election.
The clergy, whose prerogative
it is to make the nomination,
seemed determined not TO nomi-
nate the candidate who is known to be
the choice of the laity, and the laity,
whose prerogative it is to confirm or re
ject the nomination, seem as equally de-
termined not to accept any other cand-
date than the one on whom they have
set their hearts.
The council convened in st. Stephens
church this morning at $3.50 O'Clock. The
secretary, Rev. MIR. Skinner, of Clinton,
read the minutes of the session yester-
day and last night after which Rev. N.
c. Hughes, of Chocowinity, arose TO a
point of order and stated that he owed
the council an apology for using the
word henchman in his speech last night
when he referred to DR.. T. M. n. George
as being a heIchman for Dr. Robert
Strange in his candidacy for the Bish-
oprIc.
Rev. R. w. Hsgue occupied some con-
siderable time with a speech IN support o1
DR.. Strange. 1t was a brilliant effort
and every word tlat fell from the speak
er's lips was listened to with rapt at
tention.
Yesterday the Ouncil sent telegram
to Rt. Rev. Bishop A. A. Watson eX-
pressing their regets at his inability to
attend the council, and short mes
sage was received from the Bishop con-
veying his blessings to the council.
At 1030 O'Clock the clergy asked per-
mission to retire for consultation and
were given until his.
When the courcil reassembled the
clergy presented tie name of Rev. t. M.
n. George. The laity then voted by
parishes and rejeced the nomination by
large majority.
This leaves the Iiocese practically with
out a Bishop. as Bishop Watson Is too
feeble to attend to the duties of his
office. Unless an emergency arises it is
possible that thee will be no election
of a Bishop unil the regular council
ccnvenes in annml session next May.
At 1870 oclocS the council adjourned

after Col r. B. Glenn had made fetching
