NEGROES ARE AFTER
EMMANUEL CHURCH
DESPITE PROTESTS OF NEIGH
BORIS, DEAL FOR SALE IS
NOW PENDING.

Despite the strenuous objection reg
istered by residents and property
owners in the vicinity of Fifth and
Leigh streets against the sale OF Im-
manuel Baptist church, at that cor
ner. Il Is known that, through ths
real estate agency OF Harrison and
Bates. negotiations are now on for
the sale OF that church property to
the congregation Of Leigh-Street
Methodist church (colored).
Owing to the regulations OF tho seq
regation law, the church cannot be
used by colored CONGREGATION APP
piication was made by the ofncials
Of the church to the ordinance COM
mittee OF city council to amend the
be used by the colored congregation.
Several meetings OF the committee
were held. One of them at tho
church itself. At that meeting there
were probably two hundred persons,
many Of them being ladies who live
in the neighborhood. and many prop
ertyowners. They protested. Tho
committee heard them all. and 1T :
later meeting in the City hall, the APP
plieation OF the official body OF the
church was withdrawn. and It wAa
thought that the incident had closed.
It was learned yesterday. however,
that the real estate agents had pur-
sued their quest and that tho deal
had been about consummated.
John Mitchell. q leading colored
citizen. who has already purchased
much property in the netghborho00.
said that the property would be pur-
chased by the colored congregation.
In order to evade tho letter Of he
segregation law. It Is proposed. IL the
sale is made. to change tho entsanco
OF the church from Leigh street to
Fifth. so that the law may not efIoot
the purchasers.
Residents and protestants. hoWopof.
backed by the city attorney, claim that
this will simply be subterfuss BY
which the spirit Of the law may be
evaded. The building will remain ~
1t is. and the objections raised by the
neighbors will still stand.
Those who oppose tho sale OF the
building to a colored congregation de-.
clare that such a move will be m
entering wedge by which tho colorsd
people of Richmond will get into one
OF the most thickly occupied sections
OF the city-where boarding houses.
hospitals. orphan asylums and old
residents prevail. and that It will be
but a question of a short while when
that section Of the city will be OVER
run with colored people.
Chairman r. E. W. Goodwin. Of the
official board OF the church. said late
yesterday afternoon that the sale had
not been contaminated.

Helene, his gentle mate.
The stork paid them a visit in
March. The gentle Helene. worn by
the trial Of nursing the fuzzy little
cubs, died in the winter quarters.
For days Eugene's grief could not be
assuaged: he roared constantly and
shook at the bars. The little ones
had TO be taken from him, for the
keepers were afraid that in his great
grief he might do them injury. For
a few days the matter of raising the
cubs was quite a problem TO John
Patterson, the boss of the zoo. They

day one of the keepers, noticing her
affection for the orphaned babies,
took one of them in his hand and
brought it close to her cage. Amelia
stuck her nose between the bars and
with her warm tongue laved the cum

were brought and she fondled them,

Patterson was told, and the cubs
were placed in the care Of Amelia.
Then Eugene, noticing that his little
