A Woman Told Where The Gold Bars From The Carson Mint Were. Carson, Nev., June 6. —The SBO,- OK) in gold bars stolen from the Carson mint was recovered yester day in a most unexpected manner, ( when the government officers dug up the treasure in a woodshed of William Pickler’s, an employe in the melters and refiners’ depart ment. w r ho had not even been sub- ( pected. ] Pickier was betrayed by a worn- ( an with whom he has been living j and whom he had abused. She cam- ; to the officers Monday night and told tnem that she would soon dis close the hiding place of the mis sing bullion. True to her promise, she ap peared and gave minute directions for digging in one corner of Pick ier's woodshed. There the bars of gold were unearthed, just s they had been stolen from the mint. This discovery bears out theca e which the government experts h.- <1 ■ formulated again t the employes in this department. If any o e of the gang turns state’s evidence the whole truth will come out. First Methodists. At, the advertised hour this morning the Methodists special bearing the children of the First Methodist School, and many oi the members of the First Methodist and their friends left the “Syca mores” and steamed away for Chickamauga. Quite a number of belated peo ple “got left” and while they had a picnic dinner at home they miss ed and ideal day at Chickamauga- A big crowd went up to tlm bat tit field and have doubtless spent a long to be remembered day.

The day dawned with heavy clouds mantling the heauens, hut as lo urs passed they floated avay and by 2 o’clock after a refreshing shower, the skies became clear. At 3:30 o'clock the procession was formed andTharched through the principal streets until the monument was reached. After a beautiful prayer by Rev. F. P. Cul ver, the little granddaughter of Samuel Noble touched the cord which released the veil hiding the statue. In a few well chosen words the presentation was made by Mr. D. C. Blackwell, and in accepting the monument in behalf of the city, Mayor Hight expressed the grate ful thanks of the people. After the monument had been tastily deccrated by young ladies and the memorial poem had been read by Miss Christine Cooke, Hon John M. Caldwell, orator of the day was introduced. His eulogy of Mr. Noble was filled with the sweetness of a fel low affection and born of a heart J that loved him dearly. One of the most beautiful of his passages was in reference to the Noble Institute, founded for girls, by Sam Noble. Mr. Caldwell said : “The rapidly written volumes recording the swift progress of Alabama in the march of her man ifold industries might become so numerous and her manufacturing methods so changed, that little would be said of our fellow citizen, but yonder monument that glis tens in the sunlight of philosophy and art and science will outlast all the others. The outer walls may crumble, as will the granite under the corroding and consum ing touch of time’s relentless and destroying hand, but the women who there have leen and yet will be equipped for noble and use ful careers, will by their lives and examples, their work and influ ence, build another monument, the perfect and complete glory of which eternity alone can unveil.” The founding of Anniston may be said to date from the organiza tion of the Woodstock Iron Com pany, in 1872, but it was prior to this that Mr. Sam Noble, then an iron producer of Rome, Ga., while in search of a good quality of iron, began prospecting in Calhoun County, Alabama. Here he discovered the spot where this city now raises its head. Ha saw that nature had sored a vast amount of mineral I weatlh in these mountains. Mr. Noble at once purchased 2,(XX) acres of land and som after the Wood stock In n Company was organiz ed. Every dollar this company made was put into churches, schools storehouses and homes, and today there is no city in the South that can show such magnificent edifices as the churches of AnniSton. An niston was formally opened to the country as a city in 1883, through a letter written by the lamented I Henry W. Grady, which is still fresh in the minds of the people. , The military part Os yesterday s ROME GEORGIA. THURSDAY EVENING JUNE 6 1895 parade was exc.ptisnally fin*. Betides the half dozen Alsbams, oompsnicß that were in line of march, the Hill City Cadets, one ofGeorgii’s moat aohlierly com msmts, a company es young Ro mans who knew Mr Noble w-re a conspicuous body.
