A Child Abducted at the Point of
the Revolver.
A Wife Receivers a Child From the
Custody Of Her Husband From
Whom She Had separated---The
Part MOiher in law Played.

A case of genuine child abduction was
developed in Rock Island yesterday.
In order to present the facts accurately a
little of the past circumstances of the
case must be presented. A short time
ago Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Murrin. who
had resided at $50 Ninth street. separated
and the husband, who was laborer,
having retained possession of the couples
only child, d girl of eighteen months,
placed it in charge of his brother James
Murrin. who lives at Tenth avenue
and Thirty-fifth street and started
for Nebraska in search of work. The
wife was very anxious to recover her
child-she thought she had the best right
to it-and in this belief she was encour-
aged by her mother, Mrs. Barbara South.
The NICE she thought about it, the more
determined was her purpose to restore to
herself the possession of her little child.
She felt thai persuasive means would be
of no avail and she was not willing to
wait until decree of court should decide
as to the proper custody, SO yesterday,
accompanied by her mother, she went to
James Murrin's house. and in that gen
tleman's absence. demanded of his wife
the child. The demand was not COM
piled with, whereupon Mrs. South pro-
duced a revolver and with it in hand held
Mrs. James Murrin while her daughter
seized the child and fed with it.
Last evening Mrs. James Murrin swore
out warrant against Mrs. Mary Murrin
and Mrs. Barbara South charging them
with abduction, with boisterous conduct
and with carrying concealed weapons.
The case is being tried this afternoon.

Theatrical.

a weeks Ell gagement at Harper's theatre
last night to a good business. The

plays which has been shelved for num-
Der of years, has IN its composition an
essence of merit and fascination which al
ways cling to it, especially when in the
hands Of such really powerful company
as that which produced it last night.
The leading parts of "Henriette" and
Louise" taken by Helen Richardson
aud Mamie Harvey, respectively, were
well performed as were the mother
Frochard" of Jessie Or sp, the Jacques
of Sidney Oliver and the Pierre" Of
Barry Harvey. Tonight the southern
play. The Octoroon. is to be presented.
Quite large number of Rock Island
people wi messed the presentation of the
New York melo-drama Lights and
Shadows" at Turner Grand opera house,
Davenport. last night. 1t is the first sea-
son of the great play, and it has the
promise o. one of the most successful
runs of anything ever put upon the
American stage. The company uses its
own specially designed magnificent seen
cry all the way through, and the glass
studio scene, the water scene and the
street room were superb. The play is
strong aud the cast Is without exception
made up of the best possible dramatic
talent. The play is to be produced in
Rock Island within the next year.

District Yesterday.

An Afternoon of Pleasure in the O'Hara
District Yesterday.
The pupils of room No. 9, the highest
primary department of the O'Hara School,
on Twenty-ffth street, gave delightful en-
tertainment yesterday afternoon in the
schoolroon, which reflected credit upon
both themselves and their teacher, Miss
Lucy De Armitt. The room was tastefully
decorated with tissue paper lanterns and
chains, hung pendant from the gas brackets.
Over the lanterns were crossed small Ameri-
can flags. Upon brackets in the walls
around the room hung gilded bird cages.
The tiny inmates of the cages sang sweet
carols in company with the joyful songs
of the children.
Upon the blackboards were specimens of
writing and drawing done by the children
Among the modern drawings was sketch
of a Citizens line grip car running at full
speed, and Pennsylvania Railroad loco
motive. The copy book was also very fine,
and pleased the parents of the children who
were in attendance.
Among the performers worthy of special
mention were Fanny Mckee and Stanley
Harris, who sang the duet, shepherd Of
the Valley" The blending ofthe children's
voices was perfect. The songs sang by the
school were welcome to Spring" Wood
land Echoes" "America," "Home, Sweet
Home, and many Others Addresses were
made by Prof. William A. Proudft, prin-
cipal of the school, and the directors.

WRIGHT COMES BACK.

The Orphan School Manager Explains Why
Certain Attacks Have Been Made ON
Him-Jealousy One of the Causes.
Ex-senator George. W. Wright. of the
firm of Wright & Gordon, who look after
four of the soldiers orphan schools in the
State, is at the Seventh Avenue. Mr..
Wright came TO the city to see one OF the
members of the Grand Army committee ap-
pointed to inspect the management OF the
McAllisterville school.
In response to questions Mr.. Wright said:
My firm owns three of the State orphan schools
and haA leased one. 1 am often charged with
being the manager of a syndicate, but TINS ID
not true. We merely made contract with the
State to run these schools and that is all. At
any minute the State can remove the pupils
from my schools and transfer them to some
other. began first with the Mercer school.
and at the urgent request, OF the State omcers
/ at different times took charge of the schools
at Mt. Joy, McAllisterville and Chester Springs
after they had run down. ] always supposed
that the reason why was selected was because
my management of the Mercer school was IN
dorsed.'
The investigation of the recent trouble at
McAllisterville showed conclusively that the
boys were shamming. When charges are made
that the pupils are not properly fed all can do
is to point to the children themselves. One
can easily tell whether horses and cattle have
been well fed by looking at them without go
given. If child is poorly fed his appearance
and constitution will show it. Now. defy the
State authorities to duplicate the McAllister-
Vile school, The death rate per year Is 292 to
the thousand, while the average for such
schools in the State Is 7 to the thousand. II
anyone is foolish enough 70 believe the chill
dren in my schools are not properly fed Jet him him
look at the boys and girls. If an observer viii
not say they are the healthiest children he ever
saw, then will give up.
There are three or four reasons why these re-
peated attacks have been made on me. The
first is jealousy. Naturally because had been
so successful in my management OF the Mercer
school and had been asked by the State de-
partment to take charge of the other schools,
the other managers in the State didn't like 1t,
and1 have had to endure more or less trouble
ever since. My schools have always been full,
and this brought out the charge that was in
collision with the State department.. This is
not SO,
