THE REVIVAL. Inaugural Services tlie Congregational Church. There was a fair attendance at the First Congregational Church last night to hear Uev. Mr. Hammond, the evangelist.

The meeting was somewhat interfered with on account of its having been the time for the regular choir practice and they having received no notice, astbey claim of the meeting refused to give way to the service hence the audience with commendable patience waited until they had completed their rehearsal, after which it being quite late Rev. Dr. Thompson from San Francisco made a few brief remarks relative to the work done by Mr, Hammond in that city; stating that the nine weeks labor there had been the result of inestimable good, thousands having been converted. Rev. Mr.

Caswell spoke of his evangelical harvest at Portland, he himself having been stationed there some time after Dr. Hammond's visit to that city. A gentleman from Indianapolis, arose and remarked tbat he wished to say that it had been his good fortune to attend the revival services held in his own city, and that at the fin 4 meeting they were surprised to see children from all over the house rise and come forward at the close of tho services; as many as 150 were converted at that particular meeting, and from the series of meetings over 1000 joined the different churches, nor did the revival stop there, it spread throughout all the neighboring villages. Several other gentlemen made brief remarks after which Dr. Hammond read and commented upon the fourth and fifth verses of Acts, first chapter, "And being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not," etc.

In concluding his remarks he expressed the wish that at tho service, which would be especially for the young, he hoped the house would be crowded to its utmost capacity with children, as he had found by long experience and close observance that conversions in childhood were more likely to Vie lasting, and warrant a life of Christian virtue, leading to perfect manhood, womanhood and an assurance of the crown reserved for the people of God. A "FENCE" ARRESTED. Mrs. IVelSon Taken to tbe County Jail. During the past few weeks a number of boys have been tent to tlie Boy's and Girl's Aid Society, San Francisco, for petit larceny.

This matter bad set Jailor Russell thinking, and after a great deal of study and judicious questioning he came to the conclusion jthat there was house to which these boys took the stolen property, and yesterday he went to the Sheriffs ollice and obtained a warrant to Beach Mrs. C. Nelson's second-hand store, under the Stephenson House, on the comer of First and Los Angeles streets. Mrs. Nelson, when she was informed by Russell that he had come to search her store, told him that she kept a legitimate store and was well-known by Chief Darcy to be perfectly honest.

This did not deter Russell from the task he had set himself and he went to work and was surprised at the quantity of clothing, boots, shoes and silverware that he unearthed from amongst seeming piles of rags and old boxes. Ha'came across two suits of clothes that were stilen from fjhafer and Decemcer 27th from his room ou Olive s'reet, between Fourth and Fifth streets. Mrs. Nelson stated that she bought the suits for $5, but did not remember from whom. Mr.

Shafer identified the clothing and stated that the two suits were worth During his search in an old box full of old clothes, Russell struck something hard and pulled out an old stocking, out of which he shook a large silver knife and fork. He then went and saw Emil Harris, who has a list of stolen goods, and on his list was this identical knife and fork, which were stolen from Naud's warehouse when it was burglarized and a quantity of silverware stolen. Mrs. Nelson's partner left yesterday morning for San Diego with a quantity of goods to open a branch establishment down there. The authorities were notitled of his visit aiftl he will be looked after when he arrives.

Mrs. Wilson was taken to the County Jail and booked for receiving stolen property. Legion of Honor. The installation of the newly elected officers of Goodwill Council, No. 620, American Legion of Honor, took place at their hall last Friday evening, D.

The Lanfranco Block on Main street, between Requena and Commercial streets, will soon bo torn down, and a beautiful block will be replaced by the Lanfranco estate. Already the occupants have been notified of the proprietors' intent to tear down the present structure. Apparently this is a very good block, and at present is accommodating four stores and one saloon on the ground floor, one printing office and a number of offices on the second floor; but the owner, realizing the value of the present location for good business blocks, considers it an act of economy to put a more commodious building on the present site.

Nkw Yohk, January stock market showed no change in character today, being extremely dull, and though the I prevailing temper was bullish the disposition was to await the developments of next week. At the same time, general expectations of a favorable bond statiruent induced some buying in the last hour, which gave a more animated appearance to the market for the time being, and moved prices up a small fraction.

Government bonds dull but firm. This wasanothei day of wild excitement on the petroleum exchange, and for a short time after the (opening, brokers were ou the verge of panic, so uiicerta was the feeling. As Boon as it was perceived that none of the large interests had any buyingorders, the traders all begau selling and a drop of BJ was recorded in the lirst fifteen minutes. This was followed by a very sharp rally, in which the price crossed 92c, but frightened buyers still continued to sell, and the market closed weak ntOlJie. The sales for two houru were more than double the total of five hours yesterday.
