Memphis Cotton Crop Report.

MEMPHIS, June 10 The cotton
crop report Of the Memphis district,
which embraces West Tennessee,
North Mississippi, North Arkansas
and North Alabama, to be published
tomorrow, will say:
The weather up to this period has
been unfavorable for cotton. A very
low temperature prevailed al over
the district from May 10 to May 30,
which had tie effect of retarding the
growth of the p!Ent, and 262 out OF
354 correspondents report more or less
damage from the unusual cold spell.
TIL injury was principally in the
nature of checking the development
of the young plants in many instances
causing it to droop and die. There is
also complaint in several sections that
rain is badly needed, and,especially in
portions of Mississippi and Tennessee.
Prospects, however, are somewhat
brighter than at this period last wear,
although the season on an average ls
reporter 10 days later.
Fields are usually clear and crop 8
have better cultivation than III many
yeas. The acreage devoted to cotton
within the district is reported slight

the four states will be about 8 per
cent. Labor ia reported in good sup
ply and working well. The outlook
for corn is only fair The average de.
voted to this cereal has been increas-

stormed at the door. In tn mean
time the young man escaped, and
shortly after, while on the street, WAS
approached by Wilson, who demanded
money, saying the woman was his
lover. He was told to meet him tit the
Capital hotel this morning. A. coon
as Wilson turned up this morning he
demanded money and Chief of Police
Pruett at once arrested him. The wo-
man is his wife. and it appears that

$40 A DAY FOR A0TH|NG.
Brooklyn Employs Beale as a
Stenographer.
He Doesn't Know tho Art, and the
City Pays His Substitute.

Some OF the Democratic members of
the Board OF Alderman in Brooklyn
learned to-day OF miniature scandal
in the Committee appointed to investi-
gate the corruption In the various City
Departments.
The matter came to light through the
action OF the Committee. In declaring
that the continuation OF the investiga-
tion into the arrangements and accounts
OF the Truants' Home should In future
be carried on behind closed doors.
The Democrats, when they learned of
this conclusion, cast about for a reason.
They found with little trouble that the
stenographer. Charles Beale. who Ia
drawing $40 a day for his alleged work,
knew absolutely nothing about writing
shorthand, and that another stenog-
rapher was doing the work which BeaIe
was paid for.
The second stenographer did the work
as one Alderman expressed II. under
cover" The city, however. pays Mr..
Beale $40 for doing nothing, and also
pays the man who does his work.
A Democratic Alderman told an
Evening World" reporter this morning
that the matter would be called to the
attention OF Mayor Schieren.

was held for examination In the court
this morning on the charge Of careless
blasting. A warrant has also been is-
sued for the arrest OF Patrick Murphy,
the contractor.
1t is claimed that these two men are
responsible for the blast which came
near putting an end to the career Of
Police Justice Voorhis yesterday after
noon. The timely action OF Charles
Anthus, one of the court clerks. saved
him.
Blasting OF rock has been OF almost
daily occurrence at the rear OF
the Courthouse. The noise Of
the blast has frequently fright
ened the people in court. and at one time
almost caused panic. An unusually
loud blast shook the courthouse build

that II was coming down. made a rush
for the. exits. The court squad, however,
succeeded In aueliing the panic.

been formerly used for cooking and stor-

inspection all. with the exception Of
Anthus. turned away and engaged in
conversation. Anthus continued to look
at the preparations, and 1t was for
tunate for him and the others In the
room that he did SO. He heard the ex-
plosion and saw the air filled with flying
coming straight for the. window. He
sprang back, and at the same time
gave the Judge and his fellow clerks a
shove backward. which sent them out
of reach Of the coming missile.
The next instant fragment or rock
Weighing fully ten pounds shot through

shower OF splinters and plaster on every
