astrous to Crops.
Special to the Gazette.
TEXARKANA. TEX. July THE heavy
rains throughout this section for the last
week have been disastrous to crops of all
kinds. Corn has overshot itself and the
yield will consequently be Iessened, while
cotton is going rapidly to weeds, which
will materially prevent the formation of
squares and bolls. It is not known what
effect a sudden drouth would have on
the farming interests, but it is feared
that it would be equally as bad as the
other extreme.
The fall court for the Southern district
of Arkansas convenes here tomorrow.
Judge Caldwell has arrived and will pre-
side. There are about fifty cases of more
or less Importance on the civil docket,
while the cases on the criminal docket
are confined to petty attractions of the
revenue laws.
The case of J. d. Hall of this
city vs.. the Globle- Democrat Publishing
Company, which suit was instituted in
the circuit court of Miller county and

probably be heard and disposed of during

The Temperance Committee practically stands
pledged to submit a prohibition amendment to popu-

TO that effect. This settles the temperance egsla-

make its first and final report Monday. lively

f1ttsburg, July 12.-The situation at Home
stead, where the 2,sOO employees in Carnegie.
fhlpps & Cos steel mills are on strike Ind
are at the same time locked out by the firm,
grows hourly more serious This morning Sheriff
McCandiess sent posse Of 124 armed and
uniformed deputies TO Homestead. They were
received by a mob of thousand or more men,
women and children, and for the most part
huhced 10 return to the city. The mob closed
III upon the deputies, tore of their badges, and
demonstrated with them until they broke ranks
ana fuly half the posse declined to serve Be-
tween the fearful entreaties of the women and
the forcible arguments of the strikers the deputy
sherlns declared tnat Homestead no place
Tor them, and forty who returned TO Pittsburg
this afternoon declared they would not again
go near Homestead.
The sensation of the day was the arrival here of a
hundred Plnkerton detectives from Philadelphia
under command of Captain Robert j. Linden,
OF Mollie Mcguire" fame, whose services in
running down the murderers of the anthracite
coal regions have made him terror to evil-doers.
The Plnkcrton men were served with breakfast in
the cars and Immediately started for Homestead.
but up to this evening had not reached there.
When they do there is likely to be more serious
trouble than ever. The strikers are to no small
degree OF foreign extraction, and resent the in
PRODUCTION of either deputy sherifs or Pinlertons
men.
The borough council last night appointed ten
special policemen, all strikers, to preserve the
peace of the town, thus throwing the response
bllity for any disorder upon the members of the
Amalgamated Association. The president, William
Weihe, of that order, is on the ground in person,
appealing to the men to refrain from violence
or interference with the constituted authorities,
ana he VIII do all in his power to prevent ex-
IRENE measures OF retaliation upon the firm.
Inc strikers are in possession of the town and
no one not resident is permitted within its bor-
ders without permit which can only be obtained
altcr statement has been made Of the new
comers business.
The sheriff will swear in a posse Of one hundred
deputies TO protect the mills and the workmen
from the strikers. The struggle promises to be
the most bitter in the history Of strikes and lock-
outs in this section. Both sides are determined
and long fight Is Anticipated.
