AT THE CAMP MEETING

Sunday afternoon Rev. DR.. Weaver
preached from the text "The Stright
and Narrow Way" at the conclusion
of which Rev. Sid Williams COM
mented upon the text and related
the reflections it had brought to his
mind during the services in connec-
ton with the meagre collection at
the morning services; and how he
did scarify the penurious, and meta
phorically speaking, skin, salt and
pepper the members of the church
who roll in wealth and affluence and
then refuse to contribute to the
cause of the Lord Jesus Christ. 1t
was a delectable bit of sensational
ism, heartily enjoyed by those who,
if they had >given all their wealth
wouldn't have been out but nickel,
as was the reporters condition, but
how it made the more wealthy mem
bers of the congregation vince, and
no winking or head shaking from the
tlmid or considerate members could
stop hun. Some of the congrega-
ton were highly indignant, but the
crowd out to hear him Sunday night
was perceptibly increased and had
the pleasure of listening to a better
talk. Mourners by the score went
forward and considerable interest
was manifested.

A Priest in Court.

The case of Father Adam Lasky
for slandering Agnes Walter, was
tried in the county court Tuesday,
and occupied the entire day in the
examination of witnesses for most
of whom the court had to have an
interpreter. The testimony devel-
oped the fact that the Priest re.
fused to perform the ceremony for
the woman when she was preparing
to get married, at the same time
making some disparaglng remarks
about the prospective bride to the
would-be groom that deferred indef
nitely the marriage. The jury were
only out a short time, returning a
Aerdict of guilty and assessing his
fine at S250.00.

THE ENGAGEMENT.
The BRENNAN Companies are in 1t.


i The Light Guard led the charge agains
the mob at Austin Tuesday night, captures
the rioters, and the BRENNAN Field Artiller,
battered down their breast works. 1t was t.
Capt. Byrnes that the mob surrendered, 4
prisoners being taken. The front skirmish
ers were commanded by Capt. Byrnes ant
the right by Lieut.. HEARTFELT. Capt. ABB
Harrison, of the second regiment, comman
ded the gatling battery. Lieut.. Herbst, il
command of one of the gatling guns, was
wounded in the right arm by paper wac
which passed through his coat and shirt
sleeve and grazed the skin, but did not disa,
bic him. He will be the only battle-scarred
veteran to return.
From Wednesdays Statesman we Gull the
following mention of the Brerham COM
panies:
''The biggest company in the camp is the
BRENNAN Light Guard, being So strong, and
lis largely called upon by the second regi-
ment headquarters to furnish all kinds of
extra duty, as well as to furnish colors and
markers for the regiment. It is said to be
the only company outside of the regulars, to
receive cheers from the grand stand while in
dress parade. They will give six file exhl-
bltion drill this evening after dress parade,
which will be well worth seeing. The COM
pany has been in the militia three years and
has won five prizes, and Capt. j. NJ. Byrnes,
commander of the company, wears several
medals, one of which was given him at Gal
weston In 1889 as the best captain in the state
Second Lieut.. Chas. Wilkins of this COM
pany is one of the ideal officers of the second
regiment, and has several times during the
encampment acted as adjutaut of the regi-
ment. 1t may be noted as an interesting
fact that BRENNAN furnishes the largest con-
tingent OF men, including infantry, artillery
and the second regiment band, of any town
in the state. The company is very popular
with the ladies and has many callers
Among the visitors yesterday were the spon-
sor, Miss Keesee, and Misses Beaumont and
Davis, of Austin, and Miss Madge Williams,
of Independence, granddaughter of Gen.
Sam Houston, Misses Ethel Muse, Bonita
Byrnes and Virginia Bassett, of Brenham.-
Miss Keesee will tender the company a re-
ception at her home in the city Thursday
morning from $50 TO 11:30, in which she
will be assisted by sixteen or seventeen young
ladies of Austin and Brenham."
The Brennan Field Artillery gave an ex-
hibition on the parade grounds yesterday
evening, illustrating the rapid and effective
firing of the Calling guns and the precision
of movements. They have the only Calling
guns on the grounds, and the Banners
correspondent says they have the ''boss"
outfit there. and have been highly compli-
mented by the Governor and staff, and SAYS
that if there is anything there for Artillery
in the way of prizes they will bring it home.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.

Saturday. night last some one
tried to assassinate DR.. Cloud, OF
Clay Station, about quarter of a
mile from there while on his way
home. He was on horse back when
fred upon from ambush, and drew
his pistol and returned the fire, two
shots each being exchanged. His
horse being badly frightened and
unmanagable and knowing the dan
ger from an ambushed foe he rode
on and gathering up a party OF
friends started in pursuit of the
would be assassin, but failed to
capture him.
The man who is believed to have
attempted the life of the doctor is
Geo. Sherrell. Some two months
ago DR. Clouds handsome new resi-
dence and contents was burned and
this negro was arrested on suspicion
of being the incendiary. As there
was but little evidence against him,
his bond was placed at $3.50, and
Capt. Clay went on it with his
brother, and put him to work, but
he skipped about ten or twelve days
ago, two days after he had been re-
leased from prison, and the Captain
has had SO reward offered for
his apprehension. During the two
days he was out there he said that
he would get even with DR.. Cloud,
saying that he had ordered a Win
chester, the doctor and the commu-
nifty at large believing this attempt
ed assassination a sequelto Sherrers
threats, a corroberating circum-
stance being that he was seen in
that vicinity skulking in the woods
Saturday evening.
So strong was the belief that he
was the man, that had he been
caught Saturday night it is poubt-
full if his execution had cost Burle-
son county cent.

THE PRISONER SKIPS-
The q. S. Marshal Wanted Him on Va.
riOus Charges. Had Him Once
Before.


T. D. Mccall, the man whom Con
stable Boyd kept in Jail Friday
night, and subsequently discharged.
skipped the city by the light of the
moon in the wee sma, hours of Sun
day morning.
DIR. T. D. Rogers, representing
the Western Medical and Surgical
Institute, of Kansas City, Mo, who
Mccall claimed to be his partner,
came down Saturday evening from
Caldwell, and in an interview with
the reporter states that Mccall was
no partner of his, that he was only
an employee,swho had been in his
service for five weeks past, and that
he knew nothing of his past history,
save what he learned since his arriv-
al in BRENNAN, Mccall talking pref
ty freely to him before his depart
ure.
Mr.. Mccall stated that .. S.
Marshal Payne arrested HIM once
before and that he and the marshal
INDUCED in a little pistol practice
which accounted for the officer tell
ing Mr.. Boyd he was a bad man. He
further stated to the Doctor that
there was a charge against him for
horse stealing, and for that reason
he must skip out, that he didn't
want to be arrested here where he
couldn't get bond, and that he was
going to his home in Nacoma,
Montague county, the doctor paying
his back salary. He endeavored to
get the doctor to drive him out in the
country, but he refused to become a
party to any of his schemes.
Deputy q. S. Marshal Payne
came up from Houston on the
noon train Sunday expecting to get
his man, and was badly disappoint-
ed because the game had flown. He
corroborated McCall's statement
that he had arrested him once be-
fore, and stated that besides being
wanted for horse stealing that he
was charged with numerous other
crimes.
DR.. Rogers regrets that he has
had such man in his employ and
fears that it will have tendency to
1njure lis business in this county
where he has come to work for the
Western Medical and Surgical in
stitute, of Kansas City. which he
represents, but the BANNER sees
no reason why it should as he is in
no way connected with the affair,
save that the man had been in his
employ for the past few weeks
The doctor has the appearance of
being a gentleman above suspicion
of any connection with any of Nc
Calls tricks, which he condemns,
and the fact that he paid him off
and would have nothing further to
do with him when he stood a self
confessed criminal before him
should be a sufficient guarantee to
the public with whom he expects to
deal that he knew, nothing of the
man previously.

who shoots them out of season.
