THE COLORED BAPTIST TROUBLES
Broken Ont Again with Shower Of Stones.
Convict, Pensioner, vagrant.


fCorrespondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.1
PETERSBURG, Va. July 1.-THE troubles in
the Third (colored) Baptist church, which
Il was thought had been settled by the
courts, have not yet been ended. While
the members and friends OF the church
were holding q lawn party in the
church-ysrd last night they were
surprised by shower Of rocks thrown in
their midst by outside parties. One girl
was struck and somewhat bruised: The
women were much frightened and took
refuge from the missiles inside the church.
To-day warrants we're issued for the arrest
of several parties suspected OF throwing
the rocks, and the probability is that
other arrests will follow. The police are
working up the case. The attacking party
was composed of number Of persons and
the attack is believed to have been the re-
suit Of the recent scandalous disagree
meuts In the church.
NOW vAGRANT.
Among the cases before the Mayor this
morning was that Of Thomas Bishop, an
AGED white man who was lately discharged
from the penitentiary on a pardon granted
by the Governor. He had been convicted
81 tho charge Of killing his wife, but was
discharged on account OF i'll health. He
vas up this morning for vagrancy and ap-
poared the mere shadow of his former self.
He has long been pensioner on the Coy
ernment for military services rendered,
and cay no came over to look after this
pension. He was discharged on condition
that he would return to Manchester. where
10 Gays he lives. The case Is sad one.

DIVISION OF THE DIOCESE.
Favored by the ConvOcatiOn on the Line
Heretofore Proposed by the Southwest.

Heretofore Proposed by the Southwest.
Especial telegram to tho Dispatch.l
CHnrsrIANsBURG. Va, July 1.-THE con-
vocation opened with prayer. The reso-
buttons on division of the diocese were
considered. amended, and ordered pup
lished as follows:
Whereas the Committee on Division OF
the Diocese have invited suggestions to
this subject: .,
Resoiued, That the convocation Of South
west Virginia submit to the committee the
following expression Of their views: 81,
First. That we favor q division OF the
diocese for no reason whatever save Tor
the advancement of the work and the de-
velopment of the energies OF the Church
in the State at large.
ONE BIG DIOCESE.
Second. We do not think these ends
will be best attained by division into two
equal or nearly equal dioceses. On the
contrary we see no present advantages IN
such division and foresee serious difii-
culties which may arise when further di,
vision shall become necessary. We would
suggest, therefore, that q division be made
which would leave one large and strong
diocese capable of and with view to
further DIVISION.
Third. Mature consideration has but
confirmed us in the conviction that the
line OF division proposed by US heretofore.
setting off Southwest Virginia with the
contiguous counties Of the Valley and
Southern Piedmont Virginia, is by fer the
best and most practicable that can be
made. and we continue to advocate 1t.
even if it should be necessary to delay
final action for some years to come.
AGAINST THE JAMEs-RIvER LINE.
Fourth. We earnestly and steadfastly
protest against the line Of division called
the 1.-THE James-River Line +" as one pre-
senting Inherent and insurmountable diff
ficulties to all parties concerned.
SOUTHWEST SCHOOL.
The President was authorized to appoint
two clergymen and three laymen q COM
