FORMER PARTNER.
HIS
Bays the Firm Never Owned Any
Stock or Bonds of the Consolidated
Water Company, of Cnrbondnle.
Matters Disposed of Yesterday in
Orphans' Court More Testimony
Heard In the Payne Divorce Case.
Isabello C. Fisher Begins Two
Ejectment Suits for Laud.
Attorney Roswell H. Patterson yes
terday through Attorney S. B. Price,
filed an answer to the bill In equity
recently filed against him by his Into
partner, William A. Wilcox who al
leged that he had not received a just
share of the earnings of the firm.
Mr. Patterson admits the partnership
nirangement and that In April, 1!02,
they had a conversation with reference
to dissolution. Continuing the bill
fays:
ACtcr the first dsy of June the plaintiff
nml defendant divided a portion of the as
sets of the firm, and tho defendant occu
pied the offices originally occupied by the
firm, and has been collecting the firm ac
counts", and with pome cash furnished by
the parties and the fundi collected, has
paid all Indebtedness of the linn.
Your respondent knows no reason why
the accounts duo the firm cannot bo col
lected, and tho money divided between tho
partnership, without a receiver or person
to collect the same.
The firm does not own Vmd never did
own ono thousand six bundled and sixty
six shares of the capitnl stock of the
Consolidated AVntor Supply company, of
tho value of ono buudrcd and scvonty
flvo thousand ($17r,,000) dotlais, acquired
by said firm for fees for services rendered
by the firm of Patterson &. Wilcox. Said
firm does not own and never did own
nny stock of the Consolidated "Water Sup
ply company.
And your respondent further answer
ing salth, that ho subscribed for certain
stock of tho Consolidated Water Supply
company, individually; that the plain
tiff, Mr. W. A. Wilcox, drew the charter
for said Consolidated Water Supply com
pany, or tilled tile blank therefor, In his
own handwriting, and took the acknowl
edgment as a notary public, and saw and
know just what stock It was therein cer
tified the defendant subscribed for. The
said subscription was prlvnte business of
the defendant, K. If. Patterson, and hnd
no relation with the firm of Pattfrrson &
Wilcox. Tho only claim which the firm
have, or have over bad, against said com
pany, Is for legal services.
Your respondent never agreed to per
sonally pay or guarantee any debts of
the Consolidated Water Supply company,
for legal services, or other services, debts
or obligations. The Consolidated Water
Supply company Is financially responsible.
Tho allegation that the defendant received
xald stock without the knowledge of Wil
liam A. Wilcox, the plaintiff. Is false and
untrue.
And the defendant further ausweiing
Mallh, that he never received any slock,
money or thing of value from tho Con
solidated Water Supply company for fees,
or for any legal work performed bv him
self or by the firm of Patterson & Wil
cox, which does not appear upon the
books of said firm. Tho book have been
regularly kept, and a trial balance drawn
each month since the firm commenced
business in 1S91.
Your respondent further answering de
ides tho allegations set forth In tho tenth
paragraph of tho plaintiff's bill. The de
fendant has never refused to settle the
affairs of tho firm and divide tho assets
with tho plaintiff, lie bus never directly
or Indirectly refused to divide or sliaie
the fees, pioflls and advantages of said
firm, and stands ready now and at all
times to aid in the collection of the ac
counts of the firm and to divide all money
and property equally with his former co'
partner. And the defendant further denies all
charges in said bill of Impioper conduct
cm his part, lie denies that he has le-
fused to account: and denies that he bus
received any property, money or thing of
value belonging to, or In which said firm
lias an Interest, which has not been fully
and fairly accounted for.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLB.
Under this heading short letters of In
terest will bo published when accom
panied, (or publication, by the wi Iter's
name, The Tribune dues not assume re
sponsibility for opinions here expressed.
Letter from Father Valentine.
Editor of Tho Tilbuue-
Slr: Penult mu to say that paragraph
third of Dr. McLcod's senium, as reported
in today's Tribune, Is a tissue ot abom
inablo falsehoods. Tho Catholic church
does not now and never did niako tho
mother of Jesus "an object of adoration."
In tho fourth century the church con
dciuued tha Collyrldlans, a aect which did
offer something like blasphemous worship
to Maty and sh has never chuimed her
doctriuo and never will. The Uathollu
church believes und tenuheb tlmt Mary
needed u Savior and was saved only
through tho merits of our Lord Jesus
Christ. Devout Catholics believed, and
learned professors taught, for long cen
turies before 1S5I, that Mary was con
celveil without oiiglual sin, the liuinucu
late Conception, but In that year the i'opo
after having consulted tho bishops of the
woild, declared us a dogma of faith, what
all devout Catholics aheudy believed. Did
tho Doctor over hear of Muilllo's paint
IngV Christ Is Clod; Mary Is the mother of
Christ; thercfoio Mary Is tho mother of
God Is an argument that goes buck to
tho council ot Ephesiis, held In 431, The
council, by a straugo coincidence was
held In the church of tho "Hagla Thoito.
cos" the Holy Mother ot God and con
demned Nestorius, who taught that there
woro two pcisons In Christ. Perhaps Dr.
McLeod teaches the bumo doctrine.
Catholics do not woiahip Mary with a
supreme worship, neither do they "as
cribe unto her divine honors." It Is a
bluuphemouu falsehood. Catholics do not
"adoro her and pray unto her with more
fervor and wth more, hope than the
adore und pray unto tho triune God."
This Is another blasphemous' falsehood.
We Catholics believe tliat If "the pruyer
of the just man avalleth much," tho
prayer of the Bootless mother of tho
Savior will avail inoio. Wo believe that
the same loving, motherly heart that In
duced her Dlvluu Bon to woik a miracle
I before His hour had yet come, will help
us ulso If we but ask her to Intercede
for in, See St. John's Gospel, xecoint
chapter, llrst to tenth verses. Why will
tho ftev. Doctor make himself the laugh
ing stock of every Catholic and of every
intelligent non-Catholic by repeating such
absurd falsehoods'.' Why will he not got
a little live-cent catechism and read what
we believe, or why will he not ask some
little Catholic child, it hu Is ashamed to
ask any Intelligent Catholic man or wo
man? I fuel cpilto sura that many of his con
gregation knew that when ho niiido these
statements lust night ho said what was
absolutely false. If they did not ho Is a
blind leader of tho blind.

"Reply to Captain Duggan.
Editor of The Tribune
Sir: A woul nnd the Father Wliltty
society will wlthdiaw from further news
paper discussion of the DUgguu nise, Tho
effort to Injure this society befoio the
public demonstrates what a sterling mem
ber Its perpetrator wus. Tola! Abstinence,
not drilling, Is tho prime feiitiuu of the
society. No other member was ever treat
ed with tho lenlenoy accorded hlni ie
peatedly in regard to failure In this Im
portant lenuirement, To state tlmt he
was asked "ofllclally," or utherwlse, to
resign becnuso lie wmked during the
strike is to utter what Is pot true; nun
the motive prompting such uu act is con-
temptlble.
Tho drljl feature ot our society Is much
esteemed by our members, but wo would
abandon It rather than sacrifice the char
acter of the society, and Injure Its use
fulness hi the work to which It Is devot
edthe tight against tho drink curse. The
society has no ill-will against Mr. Dug
gan, but feels compelled to refute the un
called, for uttack ho made upon It, and
regrets that he has made it necessary to
publicly state the truo causo of his dis
missal from tho ranks.
If Mr. Duggaii wishes the matter pub
licly Investigated and all tho details ot
his membership and nou-membershlp
thoroughly aired, he may have It so
whenever and wherever It pleases him.
