Dickson was arrested by the police
charged with disOrderly conduct in the
rear Of Alderman Hanley's store while
the female French dentist, the alleged
Nine. DuhOt, was giving an exhibition
OF her skill in extracting teeth. Dickson
was supposed to have attempted TO take a
watch from the pocket Of abystander, and
while on his way To the barracks, where
he was brought before the Mayor, he
resisted the officer, and a second charge
was entered against him. He was tried
and sentenced to pay a fine OF 500, OF be
imprisoned so days under each charge.
Not having the money to pay the fine, he
was sent 10 the ~chain-gang to work il out.
The News reported several days 2 that
his sentence would expire Sunday. Nov.
IS, and that yesterday he would be ar
raigGed in the CITY Court IN the charge OF
attempting to commit q larceny. The

membrance Of having left there, and did
did not know when or how he was re-
turned 10 the Jail. and could not recall
what had occurred during the last week
Of his Imprisonment.
In the court room he was rational and
well behaved, and as no warrant was
produced by the Solicitor General, and as
he had already been a prisoner about Z
months. Judge Harden released MIN from
custody.
Late in the afternoon a constable met
Dickson in the Park Extension, when

Gus Davis, a cOlOred man employed by
Henry AmbOs at TbundeTbOlt, was seri-
ously cut and stabbed by a party of white
men at thai place yesterday afternoon,
and at night was brought to the city for
medical treatment. Davis, it appears,
had been opening oysters for the party,
who had gone out to T%hunderbolt from
town, and when he was through asked %
cents for his trouble This was refused,
and an alteration ensued, which resulted
in the men attacking Davis with knives.
The assault. from all that could be learned,
seems 10 have been a cOwardly one,
wholly unprOvOked, and very nearly
resulted in the negro being killed out
right. He was cut in five or six places
about the head and face. and in the back
and side. The most serious wound vas
in the left side.
Davis was brought to tOwn in a wagon
bv some cOlOred men. and after a long
and unsuccessful search for a doctor, he
was taken to the police barracks. and was
carried from there 10 DR.. G. II. Stone, by
whom his wounds We're dressed. He
was then taken back to ThunderbOlt. Dr..
Stone states that the wounds are not of a
serious nature. unless n of them should
have penetrated the lungs, ard about this
he is not certain. Davis was very weak
from loss Of blood, as about six hours had
elapsed after the stabbing before he re-
ceived medical attendance. The names

NATIONAL COTTON EXCHANGE
Its Final Report for the Year 1SS4'S5-
Estimate of the Crop by States.

Its Final Report for the Year ~lSS4-So-
Estimate of the Crop by States.
The National Cotton Exchange in its
final report of the crop for the year says
that in the Atlantic States and Alabama
the loss from shedding and rust was very
heavy, and the yield very much reduced.
The uplands IN the Mississippi valley as
a rule suffered from the drought, and Au-
gust expectations were not realized. On
the other hand, in localities in the bot
toms the very late planting turned out
well. The Texas average, owing to the
extraordinary drought, is brought down
yerv low. The favorable weather for
picking has resulted in improving the coz
dition and cleanliness of the cotton.
In the Mississippi valley and Texas
there has been a decrease of about 2OO,O0O
bales. which is Offset by an increase in the
crop Of Alabama and the Atlantic sea-
board. If the prospects of certain dis
tricts for a top crop are realized the az
gregate may be enlarged to the extent OF
$4,000
The middle crOp has turned out only
moderate and the top crop extremely
small.
The crop by States is estimated as fol-
lows:

Editor Morning NetcS: Since your arti-
cles on the steam whistle nuisance it
seems that some Of these whistles are
more intolerable than ever. One espe-
cially-that OF the Lower Cotton Com
press. l Thinks blown like a fog horn
for 10 or 10 minutes without interm1ssion
every morning just before daybreak. 1t
is not too much to say that thousands Of
people are thereby robbed of their needed
rest, very many of them being invalids.
Appeals to the owners of the establish
ments seem to do no good. There are
two ways only to abate the nulsances
legally-One is by an ordinance of the
City Council strictly enforced, the other
by proper proceedings under the general
law. If neither the city authorities nor
the law will protect the people of the city
a riot would almost be justIiable. when
the argument is exhausted those who
have sickness in their families will feel
like standing ''by their arms"
