SUITS AGAINST MIR. BARTON.
Four Have Already Been Instituted.
A Sermon on the situation.

The citizens of Barton Heights, who
fear that they are going to lose by the
operations OF Mr.. James II. Barton, are
at present quietly awaiting developments.
Nearly all OF them have employed
counsel to look after their interests,
but until the receivers have COM
pleted their report OF the condition OF
Mr.. Bartons business, II Is difficult TO
tell how they will come out Of their
present entanglements.

several OF those who have lad transac-
tions with the founder of the HeigEts
and who is also looking into the case for
Commemorative Attorney Sands, in
speaking OF the matter 10 a Dispatch
reporter yesterday, stated that he had
not as yet given any attention to the
question OF any criminal aspect OF the
dealings OF Mr.. Barton.
Counsel for Mrs. Mary ]. Schultze and
Mrs Cordelia d. Carter have brought
suits against Mr. Barton, not as an
absconding debtor. but against him as
a resident still OF the State OF Virginia.
Mrs. Schultze sues TO recover the sum
Of 1905 due to her by Mr.. Barton,
while Mrs. Carter. TO whom Mr.. Bar
ton owes the sum of $4,000, only brings
suit for $500, that being the amount OF
the debt which is now due. The re-
mainder Is not due for about year. The
deeds given Mrs. SchultZe and Mrs. Car
ter for certain lots upon Barton
Heights are regarded not as deeds OF
bargain and sale. but as mortgages.
Other suits brought against Mr.. Bar
ton so far are those OF Messrs. John +.
Rose & Co.. and J. W. Anderson e. Son
the latter suits being Instituted against
him as an absconding debtor
On Sunday morning Rev. DR.. r. H..
Pitt preached a sermon from the pulpit
OF the Barton Heights church, his sub
iect being the present situation upon that
beautiful suburb. He pointed out many
lessons TO be drawn from the condition
OF affairs now existing.

dressed the congregation. His first
words were delivered with deep emotion.
This is very trying moment" he said.
"and I know that on all sides We have
passed through q severe conflict" he

the church now: no ill-feeling, no breach
in the congregation. They were all
one. I'VE are married. you and l." he
said. "and we are one" He expressed
his tenderest solicitude for each and
every member OF the congregation. and

therry love TO all. Mr.. Daueherty made
personal allusion to the incident OF Mr..
Harrison introducing Dr. Landrum's let
ter He characterized the Doctors conduct
In the matter as unbecoming. The pas
tors remarks were frequently punctu-
ated with fervent ordinations and cries
OF amen" from the benches. Women
and children sobbed sfresh. and even men
shed tears At the conclusion OF his re-
marks the majority OF those present took
the pastors hand, while others went
away unceremoniously.
While some OF the members Of the con-
gregation expressed themselves as un-
willing to abide by the decision Of the
ballot the majority Of the opposing fac
ton will gracefully accept the situation
One Of the leaders of the anti-Daugherty
faction said last night that the latter
would be his own course. and his advice
TO others.

DIR. DICKINSON TALKS.
Rev. Dr. A. Z. Dickinson, who attended
| the morning meeting at the Fulton church
on Sunday. was seen last night and
| said he wished to say two things: First,
| he did not wish the brethren to be I'M
| duly alarmed about the unfortunate stu
| alton OF affairs in this church. The
trouble would soon blow over, and the
church will be more prosperous than
| ever. All that is needed is that the
wise ones of the church be patient and
| forbearng. It's a good time now for
| the good people In Fulton to do much
| praying and little talking. Another
| thing" said DR.. Dickinson. II wish to
| assure you that the violent attack just
| made by the pastor OF this church upon
| DIR. Landrum and other pastors in this
| city does those brethren great Injustice
| No man in Richmond Is better loved by
! the good people OF our city than DR..
| Iandrum. Nothing but love for tho
| cause OF God induced him to make the
