The Wife Who Deserted Him Found Bearing the Name of | Another Man. | SAN DIEGO, CaL., Sept. 13.—After a | long search, involving a trip by buckboard from Seattle to this city, over 1200 miles, | James Rust has found ais ear-old | daughter Jenny, and both are supremely | bappy. They were separated ten years | 2go, when Rust was miserably poor and Jenny was a little foundling, and they | meet now, Jenny a beautiful girl budding into womanhood and her fatner a rich man. t was in 1886, ten years ago almost toa | day, when Rust, a poor carpenter, was forced to see his children sent out to make their own way in the world, while be went | away seeking a livelihood. The bulk of his misfortune was caused by a faithless wife. She was a Mexican woman, gifted with unusual beauty, and when poverty came and five children had to be fed, she proved recreant and left her husband and babes. | She was afterwsrd located north of this | ounce of the laudanum to relieve pamn from disease.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wasg., Sept. 13.— According to private advices via the steamer Al-Ki, the Bering Sea fleet will disband at an early date and return to civilization after a five months’ patrol, during which a number of seizures were made. The letter is from the Corwin, and states that that vessel will leave Unalaska on the 20th inst. *Instead of coming to Port Townsend, as usual, the Corwin will proceed direct to San Francisco, not even stopping at Sitka. The reason for this is that Captain Hooper, commanding the squadron, will be aboard, and will pro- ceed to Washington C to make nis re- port of the season’s work without any un- necessary delay. The run down should consume about ten days, which will bring the Corwin to Ban Francisco by the first ot October. In view of the fact that Commander Eooper is aboard the Corwin, that will probably be the last vessel to leave the sea. The other vessels of the fleet, all of which will put in here, mav be expected by the 20th or 25th at the latest. The Wolcott, aiter the fleet is broken up, will proceed to Sitka, thence to this port. It is detailed for the winter at Whatcom. The Bear and Grant are both coming to Port Townsend. The Corwin will goto San Diego to protect the southern boun- dary until spring. The Rush is to be sta- tioned at San Francisco until the fleet as- sembles again. The Perry i3 to winter at Astoria.

Jenny was the youngest child. As the others grew up they made their own way, | and most of them married. One lives in Bakersfield and others are scattered | through the State. | Jennie was adopted by Alexander Beller | and wife,who live at Encinitas, thirty miles | north of San Diego. As she grew up she | became known far and wide as one of the prettiest girls in the county, her features ‘ blending the American and Castilian types with rare charm and beauty. Rust was compietely disheartened. He | drifted to Arizona, and worked for a while at Wickenburg and Congress, picking up a good deal of information about mining. Then he went North, and East, and h again. He ack of his children completely, and for a time was so poor that he was forced to tramp with hobos and hard characters over the oountry. Up in Idaho he ran across something that looked likc & good thing in mining, and tayed there aw .

He con specting, and after ine years of struggling he found what had been seeking, a rich mine. He ped it considerably, and when a icate wanted to bond it he accepted their offer and left the camp a rich man, even if the mine turns out to be worth nothing Then Rust resolved on the journey down t h Oregon und California.

He had learned that v was safe, Rappy and almost a grown woman, and this made him still more anxious to see ber. On the way down Rust had lost his | way, and inquired of « passing rancher the name of the people living at a house near by. The rancher gave the informa tion, which nearly knocked Rust off hi seat. It was the home of his erring wife, The rancher replied to Rust’s questions, ana told nim that the woman had three chiidren since she remarried. Rust did not turn aside to renew sc-| guaintanceship with his wife, for obvious reasons. Pushing on to this e he hunted up the address given by Mrs. Beller and bad the supreme satisfaction | that night of clasping bis daughter in his | arms. Her beauty and womanliness gave | her an added charm and he was loath to leave her, even to rest after his long | journey. | Rust and his dauchter are still in this | city and be 18 making plans for their fu- ture. One thing, he says, is sure, and that is that Jenny will have as fine an educa- | tion as mon2y will procure, and another, | that she shall not marry for a while yet.

C., Sept. 13.—Pro- vided satisfactory freight arrangements | can be made with the Canadian Pacific | Railroad, a large ore smelter and refinery will be established here with a capital ofat Jeast $1,060,000. W. R. Rust of the Tacoma smelter is the organizer of the project. | which will have behind it American and | British capital. Municipal and electoral | assent will be required to procure the grant of free city water and tax exemp- tion for ten years,and a civic bonus of $100,000 will be another condition of the loca! settlement of the new industry. In consideration of these privileges— worth together over $140,000—the com- pany will undertake (o treat at least 30,000 tons of ore per annum, the works to have a capacity of 60,000 tons yearly and to employ all white labor, Cbinese and Japanese being rigidly excluded. Ample ore supplies can be obtained from Trail Creek and the Slocan country, while in the early future coast ores will also be ob- tainable in abundance. —_——— Tragedy at Fresno. FRESNO, CaL., Sept. 13.—Coroner Long held an inquest this eveningover the body of John Barker, aged about 23 years. He was a nephew of ex-City Marshal Barker of this caty and now a resident of Los An- geies, Evidence showed that voung Barker haa purchased a vial of laudanum of a drozgist in town, saying he had s sick horse at the Bachsranch.

Earlier in the season there were several thousand, but the stories published about so many being penned up there, hundreds of miles from civilization, without prospect of getting away, and being in danger of starvation or freezing this winter, are quite untrue. The thousands have dwindied now proba- bly to a few hundred, who can still get away, but many will winter there in order to be on hand to work their claims in the spring. It is quite true that the region bas proved the reverse of profitable to all but a few of those who have gone there | this year, for nearly all the good claims had already been locat:d last year. “The few claims located 1m 1895 were mostly profitable and everybody looked for biz developments this year, but while the whole country is so fall of gold that a miner can find colors anywhere, the metal is all on the surface, and only a few pockets have paid for the time and la- bor of the miner. Some claims have aver- aged as high as $50 to $100 a day to the man, after the preliminary work was done. “For those who may think of going to Cooks Inletin the future, I wish tosay a word of warning about the dangers of Turnagain Arm. As far as I know, twen- ty-five to thirty people have been drowned in those treacherous waters—how many more no one knows. Wrecked boats and water-soaked provisions cast ashore tell many a sad story. When the tide turns a huge wave, sometimes ten feet high, comes sweeping on with the force and thunder of an avalanche, at the rate of twenty miles an hour, everwhelming any small boat. They ecall thls the ‘first bore,’” but the second and third *bores’ following it are also dangerous, and no experienced man ventures forth in a poat until these are past.”’ e JAILED AT LOS ANGELES. McCarthy, the Bank Kobber Suspect, Placed Behind the Bars. LOS ANGELES, Car., Sept. 13.—John J. McCarty, alias Bigelow, recently ar- rested in San Francisco for complicity in the attempt torob the First National Bank here, in nowin the city jail. Detective Bradish reached the city with the ex-pugi- list this afternoon. Some raembers of the | police force recognized the prisoner as the pugilist who participated in a sparrins match before the athletic club here some time azo. There will be no trouble 1n es- tablishing the fact that Mcularthv was in Los Angeles about the time the tunnel was being dug to the basementof the back. And in the opinion of the police there will be no difficulty in connecting both Jones and McCarthy with the at- tempted crime. e Stockton Wins From Company F. STOCKTON, Car., Sept. 13.—A large crowd saw the Stockton players beat Com- pany F of San Francisco this afternoon by ascore of 12 to5. F. Pace, a brother of Rauss Pace, played his initial game, mak- ing a flattering debut. He made no errors and showed himself to be a good batter and baserunner. The features of the game were the jaultless fielding of ‘*‘Babe’’ White, shortstop of the Stocktons, and the batting of hFchaiels of Company F. Both pitchers were unsteady and played a poor game, In the eighth inning the San Franciscans threw the ball all over the Company Tennis at San Jose. SAN JOSE, CaL., Sept. 13.—Robert R. Syer, the champion tennis player of | Santa Clara County, yesterday defeated C. C.
