CONSCIENCE MONEY.

Twenty Dollars Yesterday.

State Treasurer workman Received
Twenty Dollars Yesterday.
Yesterday State Treasurer Workman
received $50 silver certificate from an
unknown party. The letter containing
the bill was postmarked at Fort Worth,
but there was no name signed to the let
ter. There was simply a slip of paper
in the letter, to which the $40 note was
pinned, on which was written in rather
scrawling hand that this 500 belonged
to the state school fund. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY conscience money sent by some
one, and having no such account on his
books, Treasurer Workman had to open
up a Conscience Account" If there
are any more Texans who feel that they
owe conscience money, they can now send
it to the treasury and no questions will
be asked. They will be informed through
the public press as to whether their
money has been received. OF course,
this request for the return of all con-
science money is not compulsory, and does
not in any way mean to throw hints at
the members of the Twenty-ifth legisla-
ture,

WANT A RECEIVER.
Bill Prepared for Filing Putting
Southern Railway In Re-
cefyer's Hands.

Atlanta, Ga, June "a special to the
Journal from Macon, Ga, says that bill
has been prepared there for filing in the
United States court to put the Southern
Railroad in the hands of Il receiver. Ru-
NOR had 1t yesterday that the bill would
he filed, but it is learned this morning
that nothing will be done in the matter
today, though the bill had been ready.
1t is understood that Bacon Il Miller,
Dcscau, Bartlett Il Ellis are the attor-
neys representing w. b. Sparks, the Dun
lap Hardware company, Nj. J. Hatcher,
Sam Meyer, b. l.. Jones and othes in the
petition.
While the suit will be directed prima-
riy at the Southern Railway, it is re-
ported that all the other roads supposed
to be controlled by the corporation will
be made parties, including the Georgia
Pacific. The Georgia and Southwestern
will not be included. as they are merely
leased lines. The petition, it is said, will
rest mainly on their version of the state
constitution, which prohibits the purchase
or operation of competing line by the
owners of another.

Wedding BELLS.

Cards were issued yesterday announc-

inst. of Mr. James Edwin Chapman and
Miss Helen Smith at the Tenth Street
Methodist church at high noon. The
contracting parties are known to all in
this and other cities in the state, where
their personal popularity has won them
many friends. Though slightly in adj
vance of the suspicious day, The States
man desires to extend the heartiest of
well wishes to this happy union, for the
manliness of the one and the womanly
sweetness of the other are significant of
that happy union where congratulations
are ever in order.

way. The bold highwayman was none
other than negro, who, up to the pres
ent time, is at large and without identi-
fication. Mr.. league only had $1.65
with him, all of which the highwayman
very promptly appropriated for his own
use. He returned the 65 cents, saying
that he hoped to meet Mr.. league again
in the near future and return him the
dollar also. The bold highwayman was
quite gallant at all stages of the game
and after passing a few words with his
victim quietly walked away and has not
been seen since.

REV. FATHER BRANNAN
On the COnfessiOnaI-CIaim the
Delegated Authority of Christ
for Priests FOrgiving

Sins.
The lecture of the Rev. Patrick f.
Brannan on the Confession" last night
in the Catholic church of this city, was a
close and able argument in support of the
priestly confessional, very much in line
with the arguments of "Mner on the
End of Controversy" He began his argu-
ment by showing the absolute necessity of
baptism to salvation. which, he said, was
delegated to man to perform, and then as
consequence of the delegated authority
to man to perform that important act to
salvation he argued that man was delegat-
ed to forgive sins, not through any merit
of his own, but through the Father. the
Son, and the Holy Ghost. He quoted the
authority delegated by Christ to His apos-
ties, and claimed that in that act He,
Christ, established His church on earth
with the same authority to its ministers or
priests.
He offered reward of $500 to any one
that would prove that the Catholics
worshipped any other than Cod $500 to
any one that proved that they worshipped
the Virgin Mary. or that sins were for
given by the priest for compensation,
and for proof of the existence of other pop
ular prejudices against the Catholic
church. and he also read a certified check
for 5000 showing that he was able to
comply with his challenge.
While the Rev. Brannan has none of
the graces of OratOry, but rather hOarse
voice, his arguments are compact and log
ical, and from his standpoint exceedingly
fair.
There is undoubtedly too much preju-
dice against the Catholic church in the
Protestant world, which is largely attrib-
utable to ignorance of the true doctrines
of the church as practiced by some of its
uneducated members, and every fair man
should be willing to give the Rev. Bran
nan fair hearing. He will lecture to-
night on the same subject and on dOctrinal
subjects every evening this week at the
Catholic church.
