CLAY WARD ACTIvEs MEET.
They Hear Speeches and Adopt Reso-
IutiOns Against the Changes.

The Clay-Ward Actives held a meeting
at Belvidere Hall last night adopted a
resolution condemning the amendments
to the city charter proposed by the Cham
Der OF Commerce, and appointed a COM
mittee 10 appear before the House Com
mittee on Counties, Cities, and Towns
tomorrow night to oppose the measure
when it comes up in that body.
When the club had been called TO order
by President Evan s. Snead Mr.. Henry
L. Carter offered the following:
BE II resolved by the ClayWard Ac-
tiveS Democratic Club, That the changes
of the city charter. as proposed by the
Chamber Of Commerce of this city. now
pending before the Legislature OF Vir-
ginia, is a deliberate attack upon popu-
lar government an attempt to fortify the
power of the few to riot on the rights
of the many, to create an oligarchy, by
which the liberty OF tho citizen is
abridged, his rights restricted, and his
enslavement assured. and the ushering
in Of crude unpatriotic policy OF caste
clashing which will endanger the finan-
cial, commercial, and Industrial pros
perity OF this city, and retard that pa
triotic love OF country which should
ever characterize every true Democratic
citizen, and seriously menace Democratic
prestige, which has ever been the pride
of this Commonwealth; that We earnestly
request OF our representatives in the
Senate and House OF Delegates TO OPP
pose this very unwise legislation.
That a committee Of five be appointed
TO take a copy of this resolution to our
representatives, and personally urge be-
fore them our views, as above expressed.
Delegates John S. Harwood and w. +.
Reddy President Turpin, OF the Board
of Aldermen, Chairman Dawson, OF the
City Democratic Committee; Councilman
George b. Davis. Ii. L. Carter, and John
Il. Epps made speeches, and the resolu-
tons were adopted. All OF these gentle
men strongly advocated the resolutions
except Mr.. Reddy. When called upon by
President Snead, Mr.. Reddy said: AT the
outset l desire to say have nothing TO
regret in regard TO my action in the
Legislature. My position upon these
measures is very plain. They were in
troduced at the request Of the Chamber
OF Commerce. This body has stated what
charges 1t desires in the city government
l take IL as a representative Democrat
I have no duty to perform except to
carry out the wishes OF that representa-
tive body"
The following committee was appointed
under the resolution: Messrs. II. NJ Car
ter. NJ. l.. Dawson. II. Z. Burke, Ernest
Mullent, and Philip Hellstern, and the
club then adjourned.
The Grain and Cotton Exchange Friday
endorsed the proposed amendments to the
city charter. and the Tobacco Exchange
will hold a meeting tomorrow TO con-
slider the question, and will probably take
the same action. The businessmen are
becoming more and more interested in the
matter.

ITS FUTURE IS SAFE.
Barton Heights Citizens Sansuins Of Its
Continued Growth,
ASSURANCES OF THE RECEIVERS.
They VIII He as Lcnicnt as Their
Duties Will Pcrmit-All Take n
Hopeful view-To Continue the
Electric Lights and Water Plant.

The citizens OF the beautiful suburban
town Of Barton Heights held a meeting
in the Town Hail last night to discuss
the effects of the recent failure OF Mr..
]. III. Barton, the founder of the town,
upon the growth and prosperity of the
place. Nearly every male resident OF
the Heights was present and the feel
ing was one of hopefulness and conf
dence.
Rev. DIR. r. II. Pitt presided in a most
felicitous manner, and introduced the
receivers of Mr.. Barton-Messrs. Il. a.
Catlin and w. r. Miller-both OF whom
made plain. businesslike statements Oh
the situation. and assured the citizens
that they need have no apprehensions
concerning the effect of Mr.. Bartons
failure upon their financial interests
These gentlemen said they would show
those whose homes are encountered all
the leniency that justice will allow IN
collecting payments due and to become
due. The receivers expressed the belief
that, after the momentary excitement has
worn off the people Of the Heights VIII
appreciate that the town is on more
solid basis than heretofore. as In the
past they have depended too largely on
MIR. Barton.
WILL CONTINUE TO GROW.
These gentlemen were followed by DIT.
Pitt In a speech of great force and
announcement. He seemed confident or
the continued growth and attractiveness
of the town. and urged the citizens 10
stand shoulder to shoulder for the pro-
lection OF mutual interests.
Mr.. Il. ID. Starke, representing numer-
Gus creditors Of Mr.. Barton. and cred
itors OF other residents of the Heights.
next addressed the meeting, and stated
that, I'm his opinion, the situation was
not alarming. He thought citizens or
the Heights could count on such assist
ance as they needed from financial In
situations OF Richmond.
The meeting closed with statement
from Mr.. w. X. Miller, to the effect
that Mr.. ]. Il. Elan, one of Richmond s
largest real estate agents, who has large
investments on the Heights, and who
was expected TO be present at the meet.
ing. had authorized him 10 say that he
was well satisfied with his investments.
ELECTRIC LIGHTS AND WATER.
The Town Council had at a meeting
earlier in the night arranged to continue
the electric lights, and the general meeting
indicated that the people VIII take care
OF the water-plant as soon as legal
troubles can be arranged. The receivers
will keep it up temporarily.
The meeting was a great success, as
the whole situation was explained and
fears allayed. The people with one ac-
cord determined to stand together. and
1t appeared to be the universal opinion
that in q short while the town will be
on better footing than ever before.
Messrs. Catlin and Miller, who were
made trustees in Mr.. Barton's deed. were
appointed receivers by Judge Wexford on
Friday. This was done upon the motion
of the Home Building Fund Company.
whose suit Is an entirely friendly one.

IN abolish the law recently enacted pro-
viding Or the transportation of convicts
10 the pententlary under escort OF guards
from the prison was reported favorably.
Before the new law was passed the
sheriffs Of the various counties brought
their convicts here. and when II was
passed Mr.. vale fought It bitterly. The
sherns formerly got So per day for them
selves and guards. but Mr.. Wales bill
cuts the per diem down to $50, and re-
stricts the number Of guards. The
sheriffs throughout the State are said to
favor the Vale bill. and many Of them
will assemble here Tuesday to lobby for
the bill, which will very probably be
