Parcel Will Not Quit.

Refuses to Surrender His Position as Warden at Ionia to His Successor.

Ionia, Aug. 13.--Warden Parcell will not surrender his position as warden of the state house of correction. The new board of control recently appointed Otis Fuller, of St. Johns, to succeed Mr. Parcell, and office seekers have been numerous for some time now. Warden Parcell has taken legal advice, and Attorney George E. Nichols says it is his opinion that he had an undoubted right to hold the wardenship until the end of his unexpired term, which would run out in October, 1895. Mr. Nichols says he has thoroughly examined the law and thinks that Warden Parcell has good reason to believe himself the legally appointed warden for four years. What action Mr. Fuller will take is not known, but he will probably apply for a quo warranto or mandamus through the supreme court, where the merits of the case can be gone into.
