Southern Crop Prospects.

MOBILE, Ala, Oct 9.-There has nos
been, since 1851, in the Southern States,
such a drouth, attended with such ruinous
results as has been experienced this year,
Since the first of July no rain has fallen OF
any consequence, and what few showers
have visited this section have been of only
short duration and so widely separated as
really to do more harm than good, since
they proved of great help to
the sun in baking the earth.
The severity of the drought is found on our
east and west line passing through Middle
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, and
Lower Arkansas and Northern Texas. In
many portions of this district there has not
been drop of rain in forty days, and the
drought is practically ninety days old at
present. North and south of this line there
have been occasional showers, but all togeth-
er the aggregate is totally inadequate. The
rainfall here during September was .96
inch, or not enough to lay the dust. Mo
bile's most hopeful of recently-born indus
tries, truck farming, has been very much in
iured by lack Of water. The last crops
were, to a great extent damaged, and now,
when the winter crop should be well adj
vanced, no planting has been or can be
done on account of the dryness of the soil.
1t is almost too late now to think of making
a crop. This fact is most striking evil
dence Of the severity and long continuance
of the drouth. 5tl
Cotton has suffered, and has ceased grow
ing. The top crop does not promise to APP
pear at ALL In the center of the drouth
district one bale to ten acres is about the
average; in some places the rate is one to
fifteen, in others nothing. There is one
consoling feature; hog meat is abundant
and old corn from last years surplus is
plentiful. The farmers, finding they
could not sell their corn at profit, fed it
literally to their hogs. The result proves
to be their salvation this season, when
cotton is scarce and the corn fields are
burned up.

HEAVY ROBBERY.

The Residence of an Adrian (Mich.) Capt..
talist PIundered by SxiI1fuI Thieves.
ADRIAN, Mich, Oct. GA daring burg
larry was committed in this city Thursday
night, the victim being Mr.. William Dutton,
a man of great wealth, which he has ac
quired by long years of prudent living and
judiciouS investments in notes, bonds and
mortgages. Mr.. button lives in modest
brick house on Butler street, near Main, in
the central part of the city, the only mem.
bers of the family being his daughter, Mrs
r: t. Stewart, her children, and comedy
lady who seems to fill the double role
of housekeeper and domestic. The plumber
secured consisted of small amount of
money and jewelry, and about $50, 900 worth
of bonds and mortgages. The thieves eff
fected an entrance through a window of Mr.
buttons bedroom. He retired leaving the
door between his and the family sitting
room open. A coal-fire made the at
mosphere too close, and he had his win
dow, which is on hinges, slightly opened
This left the matter of ingress an easy
problem for the thieves. AS Mr.. Dut
toms safe was not locked they ex.
perienced no trouble in helping themselves
to the papers. Among the things over
looked by them was a gold watch which
belonged to a now deceased brother, and
one envelope of mortgages representing a
large amount Mr.. buttons clothing was
relieved of five dollars in change and gold
watch he had carried forty years. Mrs.
Stewart had left her purse containing
several dollars, on the sitting-room table.
This was rifed. The robbery was very
quietly performed, it n ot.being discovered
until this morning. The thieves escaped by
unlocking door and passing into the gar
den. The bonds taken were registered,
but 1000 in Monroe and Sheridan bonds
were not. Payment has been stopped on
all the papers taken. There is no
clew to the robbers as yet. Mr.. Dut
ton was formerly farmer and for some
years President of the Lenawee County
Savings Bank He has large investments
in Gratiot County and other parts of the
State. Although member of the Execu
tive Committee of the Lenawee County Saw
ings Bank he has scientifically confined his
valuables in a small safe at his home in
preference to the solid vaults of the bank.

-Four years ago farmer of
Trucker Meadows, New, allowed
swarm of bees to take up their abode
in the garnet of his house. He is now
wiser man, but nevertheless he can not
get rid of them, for they have multi
piled to such an extent as to become
unmanageable and dangerous nuisances.
The farmer and his family have long
waged war upon the honey-making

debating the ACCESSIBILITY of tearing
the house down, or erecting another
and moving out of the honey-factory.-

A Strong Force of Indians Driven from an
Intrenched Position.
Ell fAso, Tex, May 27.-A special to the
Chronicle sends the following by courier to
San Jose, on the Mexican Central, and thence
to this point:
"C4RRoLITEs May N-The news is just
received here that General Crook engaged a
strong force OF Indians, supposed to be COM
posed of the Juh and Lucas bands, together
with stray renegade hostiles last week, at
Guaypopa, on the Sonora slope of the Sierras,
in theineigh hborhood OF Casa de Ganos There
is great uncertainty as to the date on which
the battle took place. These mountain spurs
are the favorite resorts of the Apaches, which
accounts for the intrenched position of the
hostiles and the confidence which they ex-
hibited in holding their ground un-
til thirty-three men had fallen,
when they broke and fled, closely followed
by the victorious American troops. They
are supposed to have made their way to-
wards Carcay, in the Casa de Javos, on the
chihuahua slope OF the mountains, where
they would probably make last stand.
The operations around Casa de Javos will
be extremely difficult, as the country to be
traversed is without roads or even good
trails, and the mountain passes are admirably
adapted for surprises The town of Sal
maripa, which lies in a northwesterly direc-
ton seventy-fve miles from Guaynopa, con-
tains 1900 Inhabitants and is the largest
town on the Sonora slope of the Sierra
Madras That General Crook will endeavor
to penetrate this almost unknown region
there is no doubt, and as he advances the
Mexican troops will draw closer their
Gordon on the Sonora side, and the
Mexican columns on his side, sta
toned at Casa Grande, San Buena,
Ventura, and Junas will keep complete
line of ,nmunication, so as to prevent the
hostiIes from escaping from the pursuit of
Crook and Colonel Torrez on the one side of
the mountains, and Colonel Gallasdo on this
side. General Crook can, if he desires to do
so, establish communication with the Mexi-
can forces cooperating on this side of the
Serras by sending couriers through the pass
on the Mulites road and then heading for the
Santa Maria river. San Jose station, about
ninety-four miles from El Paso on the line
of the Mexican Central, can be reached by
the General and placed in communication by
wire with his government Everyone here
and the little town has large American col
ony--is delighted with the news, for it means
that the hostile Apaches are at last doomed
to total extinction, and that the Sierras. and
their vast mineral treasures are about to be
opened to the world of enterprise and capi-
tai.
