Mrs. EckeEbery Secures Her little Girl
after 1tcO Years.
SEATTLE, WASH, April 25.-The arrest
of Mrs Jennie Sizer and Charles yelling
ton at Puyallup a month ago for stealing a
horse from NJ. NJ. Teater of this city has
resulted in restoring the pretty blue-eyed
girl who accompanied them to her mother,
who had been vainly trying to recover her
for two years. The child's name is Annie
Florence Dawson, and her mother is Mary
E. Eckelbery, who got divorce from h2r
husband, James Henderson Dawson, at
Tacoma, two years ago, and resumed her
maiden name.
Mrs. Eckelbery says that after the
divorce she fell i'll, and went to the Fannie
Paddock Hospital at Tacoma. Annie was
put in the care of Mrs. Jennie Sizer. After
her recovery she went to Mrs. Sizer's for
the child, but was not allowed to see her,
and has since been trying to find her. She
next heard that Mrs. Sizer had deserted
her husband, and moved to Puyallup
taking the child with her. Mrs Eckelbery
came to this city, and appealed to the
police to send her TO the hospital. Police
Captain Hogle took her to his home and
learned her story.
After remaining with the Hogle family
three months, she went to work, and once
saw Mrs. Sizer here, but could not over
take her. To-day Captain Hogle, thinking
the child found with the woman and We'll
lington was hers, sent for her. A mutual
recognition and happy reunion followed.

UNION WEAYERS QUIT WORK.
Big Strike Commenced in Rhode Island
TeTttIe Mills.


PROVIDENCE, r. l., April 25.-The
textile situation in Olneyville reached a
crisis this afternoon when 300 weavers en-
ployed by the Providence and National
Worsted Mills struck and more than 1000
other operatives were obliged to cease
work and both mills at once shut down.
The principal owner of these two mills,
which comprise the biggest plant in 0lney-
vile, is Charles Fletcher, leading mem
Der of the Rhode Island Manufacturers
Club, which organization recently agreed
to close their mills at the first sign of a
strike in any of them. About 5000 oper-
atives will be affected by such a step.
The cause of the strike this afternoon is
the introduction of non-union men in both
mills with the request that the union
weavers teach them to weave. The union
considered the matter and made demand
for SIS week for each weaver instructing
a novice. The management was also re-
quested to make a contribution of SIS to
the textile union for each green hand in
troduced into the mill. The management
this evening informed the union their re-
quests could not be granted and at $3.50
o'clock every union weaver in both mills
! stopped work.

pointed for a Mining Concern.
CHICAGO, ILL, April 25.-Hiram j.
Russell has asked the Circuit Court to APP
point receiver for the Texas Creek Gold
Mining Company. The defendants to the
bill filed by Russell are John M. Campbell
of Virginia City, New, and Samuel G..
Farmer Jr., John NJ. Kloeber and Thomas
Marsh of Chicago. Russell claims to have
been swindled out of SIS, 900 worth of placer
mining lands in Gunnison County, Colo.
In December, 1894, he says, he gave $685.
600 TO Campbell, conditioned on his con-
veying to him the land in question on the
payment in cash down of $4,000; $4,000 on
or before April 1, 1885, and $4,000 on or be-
fore May 1, 1895. The agreement also pro-
vided for the organization of the defend
ant company, and in case the $4,000 was not
paid Campbell was to deliver to the Ameri-
can and Trust Savings Bank stock for the
balance on basis of $4,000 for five-sixths
of the whole amount of stock The COM
pany was then formed and Campbell con-
veyed the property to it in return for &c.
996 shares of stock. Campbell, it is
charged, has kept both the property and
stock and has entered into n conspiracy to
defraud the complainant. For this reason
it is desired to wind up the concern.

SAN ANSELMO GRADUATES,
Theological Students Pre-

Four Professors Installed in the
Offices to Which They Had
Been Elected.

SAN ANSELMO, CAL, April 25.-The
commencement exercises and installation
of professors of the San Francisco Theo-
logical Seminary were held here to-day.
Rev. Mr.. Robinson of Centerville opened
with prayer. Rev. J. A. Mitchell read ex-
tracts from the Scriptures and was followed
by Rev. H. N. Bevier in prayer.
Rev. J. n. Mclean of Vacaville delivered
the annual address to the alumni. He took
the subject, "The Minister'S Message to
His Age and said in part:
Every minister is a moral reformer. Retorma-
ton is his business; repentance is his message
Social reform, of which we just now hear SO
much, is impossible SO long as sin is in the
world. The greatest power in social reform
the church-was born when 5000 men obeyed
the apostles message to repent. History proves
that there can be no true reformation so long
as sin dominates this world. Much OF
our preaching is misdirected. We preach "The
Love of God, or His Gracious Gift" but neglect
to preach Of the judgment to come. If there
were an earnest preaching of repentance there
would be a great revival of religion. This is
what is needed: this is the hope of the church
for the future.
The following professors were then in
stalled:
Rev. Robert Mackenzie. ID. Mont
gomery), professor of apologetics and
missions.
Rev. Thomas F. Day. AM. Gray, pro-
lessor of Hebrew.
Rev. Henry G.. Minton, DID. {Stuart)
professor of systematic theology.
Rev. Warren II. Ladon, ID. (Ladd)
professor of practical theology.
Rev. DR.. Dinsmore gave the charge tc
the professors-elect. He called attention
to the power and influence of theological
seminary professors. They are to prepare
men for large influence in the future. Yet
the professor should watch over and care
for the students spiritual experience
The Presbyterian church believes in edu
cation. 1t exalts learning, but it believe:

faculty, presided over the exercises of the
afternoon. A semi-chorus ofstudents under

CARSON'S MINT INQUIRY,
The Commissioner Refuses TO Open the
Door, but Enjoi,ts Secrecy

The Commissioner Refuses to Open the
Door, but Enjoins Secrecy.
CARSON, New, April 25.-Notwith-
standing the mint investigation is con-
Quoted with closed doors the Appeal con-
tinues to publish full reports. A long
wrangle was INDUCED in over the matter
to-day between the lawyers and the United
States attorney. Jones asked that the doors
be thrown open to the public, as the full
publication of the proceedings in the
Appeal nullifed the order of the court.
The Commissioner refused to open the
doors and enioined all persons to secrecy.
Court officials also made an investigation
of the building to find where the reporters
were hearing the evidence.
Harris, the meter and refiner, testified
that Jones (the accused) had failed to keep
proper records of the combination of the
melts, thereby preventing the tracing of
the shortage. The records are in Jones'
handwriting. On cross-examination he
said the duplicate key to the refinery was
found by O'Connor in March in the vault
behind the books and was thrown on Jones'
desk. No one knows how long it had been
in the vault.
Deposits of similar fineness of q spurious
melt had been received from the Savage
mine in December, 1894, and several
similar deposits as early as 1892 and 1898.
Bogus shoe bars were placed in the hands
of Lawrence Elrod of the mint and Frank
Fielding of the Con. Virginia mine after
the Government had Clipped off samples
from each bar and sent it to Virginia City.
| Harris will testify on redirect examination
in the morning and Detective Grant OF
Chicago, the man who worked up the case,
is expected to go on the stand.

Mav Close a Penttentiary.

OMAHA, NEBR., April pa special to
the Bee from Lincoln, Nebr., says: A
peculiar situation has developed in State
finances by which it may be necessary to
close the penitentiary. The last Legisla-
ture abolished the contract system in
vogue, but failed to appropriate funds to
pay the institutions expenses. No money
is available. The Governor must call an
extra session to have the appropriation
made or make the penitentiary self-sup-
porting. He will try the latter.
