SOUTHERN SUMMARY.

HOUSTON, Texas, special: There is
probability OF strike and perhaps
riot in Houston. There was recently
strike on the jetties at Galveston, but
the contractors yielded to the demands
OF the men. A few days ago the an
nouncement was made that the Mallory
Line, plying between New York and
Galveston. would reduce wages; of the
stevedores 20 per cent, to take effect
on the arrival OF the incoming steamer.
the Leona. The cause of the delay is
the fact that the Mallory Line offio Gals
in New York discharged their long,
shoremen and substituted Italians at
Sl.25 day. Private kilograms have
been received by the labor leaders in
Galveston and Houston stating that
the Leona has III board l54 Italians,
who are to take the place of the men
now on the jetties, and if the long
shoremen or stevedores don't accept
the reduction more will be imported TO
take their places. The dispatches
have been sent to all labor chiefs in
Texas, and riot may be expected.

Army of Tennessee, which has been
encamped at Coal Creek and Oliver

ice, while the troops from Coal Greek
will be removed to Yarnell's Station.
two miles south of Clinton. Fears are
expressed here that there will be a
great uprising of the miners as soon as
the troops are removed. A great many
OF them are now lying around idle, and
will stOop to almost any kind of depre-
datiOns. 1t is an assured fact that the
troops are to be removed, and the ac-
tion Of the miners will be looked for
ward to by many with bated breath, in
which they will hourly expect another
outbreak.

ty, Mo-, farmer, is rejoicing over a
rich find OF tin can containing 81, 500 in
gold and silver coin Mr.. Brokers
farm is on White River. near here, and
last spring, during high water, he
noticed an old tin vessel which had
been buried on the banks of the stream
and had been partly uncovered by the
water, but paid no attention to it.
The other day he gave the old can a
kick, and was surprised to find that it
was full of gold and silver coins. He
dug it up and found it contained q
small fortune. The coins bore date
ranging from 1856 to 1863, which leads
to the belief that the money was
buried there during the war.
