Interest i'm the Emmanuel Revival.

Interest is growing in the revival being
conducted this week at Emmanuel Baptist
church. The congregation last night was,
perhaps, the largest Of the week, and the
service was a most affecting and tender
one. Rev. Mr. Harrison preached an
earnest sermon on the promise Of the
Lord 10 honor those who honor Him.
and made a touching appeal 90 sinners
to accept Christ and honor Him in their
lives. There was one cOnyersion-that OF
a young man for whom special prayer
had been offered. The services will con-
tinue through the week with preaching
nightly at S o'clock. All Will be wei
come.

ALLEGED CRUELTY.
A Case Which the Children's So
ciety Will Investigate.

Two children, boy Of 8 and a girl
of years Of age, were brought to the
city yesterday from Mormon Island,
near Folsom, and placed in the care of
the Society for the Prevention of Cru
city to children, where they will re-
main until Daniel Healy, the society s
officer can thoroughly investigate the
statements made concerning their treat
ment by an aunt with whom they have
been living.
The children were brought here by
another and more elderly aunt, who
tells a sad story of cruel treatment
Of the little ones by her sister. The
latter's name is Teresa Schone, and she
keeps a wayside inn and saloon at Nor
mon Island. Some three years ago she
went to Germany, and brought back
with her the two children of one Of her
sisters, also an older sister, the woman
who is now here with the children.
The latter states. that Mrs. Schone
gets drunk and fearfully abuses the boy
and girl, beating them with a black
snake whip until their bodies become
covered with black-and-b blue stripes.
The children corroborate what their
aunt says concerning their treatment,
and relate even worse stories of their
treatment at the hands Of Mrs. Schone.
Officer Healy will go to Mormon ISL
and to-day to investigate the matter,
and in the meantime the children will
remain in the care and custody of the
SOciety
