CROP REPORTS.
CONDITION OF THE COTTON CROP
IN THE MEMPHIS DISTRICT.
UnfaVOrable Effect of the
DrOuth h-Percentage of
Decrease.

MEMPHIS, TENN, October 6.-The
cotton crop report for the Memphis
district, embracing west Tennessee,
north Mississippi, north Arkansas ana
north Alabama, to be issued to-1nor-
row sby Hill, Fontaine & Co., will
say:
The weather during the month of
September has been unfavorable to
the growth of the cotton crop.
Hot, dry weather, which was con-
tinuance of the drouth extending back
through August, prevailed throughout
the district until about September 20,
when excessive rains fell; principally
in Arkansas and Tennessee. The
drouth had materially affected the
plant, and the rains which subse-
quently fell in the main localities
added to the damage already sus-
tained.
The favorable prospects indicated in
the July report, which at that time
promised an increased yield, have been
changed, Cotton in the main has not
fruited well; neither has the plant re-
tained its squares and bolls.
From all over the district serious
damage is reporred from drouth, rust
and excessive rains. These have
caused a general revision of the pros
pective yield, which is not indicated.
which will be 171s per cent. less than
last year. The weather since these re-
ports were furnished has been more
seasonable, and a continuance of the
favorable conditions, together with
the late frost, would improve large
proportion of growing crops, especi-
ally in the bottoms, which would re.
duce the percentage of decrease and
possibly make the yield in the Memphis
district approximate that of last year
Corn has not suffered to the extent
of cotton, and there will be an ample
amount raised to more than supply the
! demands of this section of the coun.

excitement among the manufacturing

who appear to have besome involved

who are IN a position to know, includ-
ing the manager of Dun's mercantile
agency, it appears that the whole af-
fair is a deliberately planned swindle.
July % last, Dahlheimer called at
Dun's mercantile agency, and made
showing to the effect that he was
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 in stock
and fixtures, and owed between
$4,000 and $1,000, which was his
whole Indebtedness. He promised to
substantiate the statement, but failed
to do so. 1t always has been sur
missed he was connected with Charles
j. and Joseph Steinan, who recently
failed, but had positively denied it. 1t
has since been aScertained that the
denial was untrue. Among those in
this city of whom he bought goods,
who have sent them, are J. G. Richard

McCley, Charles Spine, w. r. Rich

COLORADO, October 6,-Cattle ship

Gov. Ireland spoke here the other
night to the lages4 audience ever
assembled in the opera house. His
seeech was forcible elucidation of
the lease system. The majority of the
so-called "bolters" have been won

Without doubt Mitchell county has
been reclaimed to the democratic party
from which the majority had strayed
from a misrepresentation of facts.
a member of gang of counter

here to-day. He confessed and on
promise of being allowed to turn

Wolf creek. Moulds and other inple-

GALVESTON.

A Day of Horrors IN the Island City
Four Dead Bodies Discovered.
Special Telegram to The Statesman.
GALVESTON, October 4.-To-day, in
this city, has been prolific of horrors,
no less than four bodies having
turned up to furnish food for sensa-
tional talk.
The first ghastly find was made on
the banks of Blind bayou, shallow
body of water running from the bay
west across the island. The subject, a
negro, was bloody about the head, in
dicating that he had been murdered
rather than drowned. The coroner
has repaired to the scene and until his
return nothing definite can be seated
Later in the night, colored man
gave information to the police that
three bodies had been beached oppo-
site Middlegge's, eight miles down the
island; but, as he had only looked long
enough to satisfy himself that the
corpses were white men, and very
dead men lat that, he could givesno
definite description. The county un-
dertaker has gone after the bodies.
They are supposed to be the remains
of the crew wrecked off the island
during the recent heavy gales.
About 9 p. m. some person, as yet
unknown, fired through the kitchen
window at B. Goldstein's residence
corner of Post-office and Fifteenth
streets, and, barring the destruction OF
the glass and ceiling, inflicted nc

previously received information of
what he might expect. A boy who

where they could have been sifted.
The action of Mr.. Moore will go for
naught as far as his aspirations are
concerned, for the people are too well
experienced in these eleveuth-hour
charges to place any confidence in
them. Col. Moore bears an excellent
reputation, and it is to be regretted that
hehas resortedito such an unpolitic step
to excuse an independent candidacy.
Senator Coke arrived here from
Corpus Christi, and after short stay
proceeded to San Antonio,
Bishop NeraZ and Rev. Dumenlin,

Laredo boasts of, and has the article
on hand for proof, having a market
house ranking only second to the one
in Houston. 1t is really daisy.
A movement is on foot, in fact it is
ing rink at market hall.
Local politics are clashing until the
whole town staggers from the effects.
1t IS claimed that ring, under the
guiSe of the democratic party, has
been running the town for years, and
an opposition movement of the citi-
zens, both democrat and republican,
was held last night and a full ticket
nominated. The straight out ring
has the inside track as far as having a
majority of the present office-holders
on their side, but the opposition are
confident of turning the tables in No
vember. The Mexican vote is the
bone of contention, and both factions
are doing their utmost to prove to
them that they are the proper persons
for the offices.

Macon, Mo, says:
The republican state convention in
opposition to the fusionists met and
eleted John Jeffrey, of Boone county,

st. Louis; railroad commissioner, j.
NJ. Turner, of st. Louis.
The republican electors, chosen at
the Sedalia convention, were rein
stated and fusion with the greenback-
ers repudiated.
The last resolution of the platform
is as follows: With charity for all,
with malice toward none, and firm in
the faith of a successful future for the
republican party in Missouri. we point
to a state ticket composed of distin-
gulshed and honorable men for the
suffrage of those republicans who re-
fuse to follow the recent fusion lead
ers down into the dark valley of hui
initiation, where ignominous defeat
awaits them. .

DALLAS, October A Herald
special from Henrietta says: Frank
Manly, who lived in Dallas last year,
was arrested at Henrietta to-day,
charged with kidnapping Sadie Bar
ton, 16 years old, near Garnet, Kas.
Manly was heavily armed when
arrested. The girl is good looking
and intelligent, and tells a horrible
story as to her treatment by Manly.
She claims he has been living with
hsr against her consent. and by threats,
ever since he took her from her home,
four weeks ago, and threatened to xiii
her if she told any one of her ruin by
him. He brought her through the
Indian territory in a buggy, and the
girl says he refused to allow her to
speak to any one. While Manly was
out after corn for his horses yesterday,
the girl told her horrible story to a
Citizen and begged for help. He at
once came to town and had the sheriff
to go and make the arrest. There is
strong talk of lynching Manly, if the
girls story proves true. The trial is
set for Monday.
