Stormy Meeting at Harrison Street
Church.

From all accounts a very stormy
meeting of the congregation of the Har
rlson Street Baptist church, colored,
was held on last Monday night, which
at one time it is said, looked as it would
result in row This chuloh has a
membership of about $500 and its pas
tor is Rev. Ellis Watts. 1t appears that
for sometime past trouble has been
brewing in the church growing out of a
dispute, it is alleged, as to what under
taker should have charge of the burial
of deceased members. The meeting
Monday night, which was presided over
by Rev: Watts was, if possible, to arbi-
trate the matter. 1t is stated that a
motion was made to leave the adjust
ment of the question at issue to the Off
GERS of the church, but it is said, that
the chairman refused TO entertain the
motion and that then the meeting broke
up In disorder and confusion. Another
meeting was held at which it is said
that by majority vote the pastor of
the church and that the six deacons of
the church were removed from their Of
flee. Rev, Watts has been pastor of the
church for the past ten years and came
to Petersburg from Richmond. The af
fair was much discussed yesterday
