Ills Father Plays the Role of Bill Sykes
The Police Investigating.

Ills Father Plays the Role of Bill Sykes
The Police Investigating.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 10. Charlie
Snowden, bright little chap of eight
summers, fell into the hands of the po-
lice Wednesday night to whom he re-
lated a remarkable tale. He says his
father is professional thief, holding
forth in Wheeling, and because he
wanted to train his son up as burglar,
the boy fled to this city. The lad
declares that his father, whose
name is George Snowden, is the
leader of gang. 1t was their practice
to use the lad to crawl through WIN
dows and coal holes of the houses they
wanted to burglarize. If he refused
they threatened to kill him. Recently
when the gang supposed Charlie to be
asleep they planned desperate burg
larry near Wheeling. The next day the
boy heard that the old man they robbed
was killed in the encounter. He there
upon determined to run away. The
police think the boy is telling the truth
and have taken the case in hand.

THE COTTON CROP.

It's Condition and State Averages az
Shown by the July Report of the De-
partment of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE July re-
turns to the department of agriculture
show some improvement in cotton con-
dition during the month of June. The
general average for the whole breath
has advanced points, standing $50.
This is three points below the July re-
turn of last year and l above that of
1889. In but four seasons since 1874 has
the July returns been so low. The
slight improvement noted has been
quite general throughout the whole
belt, the result of favorable we ather
during the month. The crop is univer-
sally late, ranging locally from n few
days to two weeks or more. In the At
lantic and eastern Gulf states especial
ly the plant is small and backward,
and lack of suitable weather
for chopping out has made the
fields very grassy. termination
was slow and imperfect and replanting
failed to secure perfect stands. Local
ly considerable areas have been plowed
up and given to other crops or aban-
doned entirely. From Mississippi west
ward the plant, while somewhat back
ward, is of good color making
generally vigorous growth, while
plantations running sufficient
number of plows are reasonably
clean. There is some complaint of
lack of labor. The outlook in Texas is
especially good, the plant vigorous,
fields well worked and fruiting begun.
Worms are reported from but two coun-
ties, both in Texas, not even an inva-
sion of the first brood being noted any
where else. The lateness of the plant
will make the final outcome unusually
dependent upon the length of the sea-
son. The returns of condition by states
are as follows: Virginia, 80; North
Carolina, II; South Carolina, so, Geor-
gia. So; Florida, 81; Alabama, 81; Mis-
sissippi 91 Louisiana, 90; Texas, 95;
Arkansas, 90; Tennessee, SO.
