AT THE L.YCEUNI.
"what Has Become of the Lost
Tribes of Israel"


Tribes Of Israel"
The discussion at the Lyceum last
night was upon the subject, "What has
become of the lost tribes OF Israel ?" The
discussion was led by DR.. G. H, Mayer,
who handled his subject in an able and
erudite manner.
His talk will be published at some
length in THE CITIZEN tomorrow,
Capt. Patton, who had been much in
terested in the views of Prof Totten and
Others, mentioned some singular things
which seemed like side lights in the way.
Col. Hatch read from papets sent to
him by Prot. Totten, made up largely of
prophecies, giving the word, verses and
chapters.
They seemed to show that that por.
ton of Israel which went over the walls
were to go north, dwell in Ireland, con
troll the gates and be blessing to all
nations. They were to SO increase as to
reL air the waste places.
NSitdilhN tiSSS lhillHS dlS u uC VI lHS
British people, they and their descend
cnts being the only people who really
keep one day in seven excepting the de-
scendants of Judah, and bv this sign
they were to be known as OF Israel
1t would seem as if we had only to
wait until the word was carried to all
people to see whether Judah and Israel
should again come together.
Mr.. PeEniman took very strong ground
against the whole reasoning. Thought
it all very wild. He had read rrot. Tot.
tens work probably more than other
the members.
Mr.. Cushman thought the question
one of great Importance, for, if prophesies
are not fulfilled, doubt must reign SUI
preme.
The Rev. Mr.. DuBose had come tC
learn, not to speak. He was inclined to
take middle view ai,ong the pros and
cons. His talk was full OF good sense

The Belt Line.

The graders were busily at work yester-
day on the portion of the belt line lying be-
tween the Rio Grande and the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas tracks and will probably
be ready for the track layers this week
While this grading is on the line of the pro-
posed belt road it is claimed the Rio Grande
Is making this connection in order to get
into the union depot without pulling
through the Texas and Pacific yards
AT the same time the, character OF the con-
struction is such and the line located in
such manner that it can very easily be
made part of the belt line. If it was in
tended as connection merely 1t would not
be necessary to grade up to square cross
ing.
This work is what has probably given rise
to the rumor that the Fort Worth and Rio
Grande would pass under the management
OF the Katy next month. While this is q
contamination deyoutly to be wished in case
the road goes into the hands OF any trunk
line, in this case the wish is probably
father to the thought.
