GOSSIP AND NOTES.

Sing q song of penitence,
A fellow full of Rye;
Four and twenty serpents
Danced before his eye,
When his eyes were opened
He shouted for his life,
Wasn't he pretty chump
To go before his wife?
His hat was in the parlOr
Underneath q chair,
His boots was in the hallway,
His coat was on the stairs.
His trousers in the kitchen,
His collar on the shelf.
But he hadn' tany notion
Where he was at himself.
When the morn was breaking
Someone heard him call,
His head was in the ice box,
And that was best of all.

Phe- Ian, leader of the strike here, was arrested in bed at o'clock today by deputy United States marshal upon warrant is- sued in the United States court upon the complaint of the Cincinnati Southern rail way receiver, Samuel Felton.

 Meantime an injunction was served upon him, restraining him, individually (pend ing this hearing) or in combination with others, from encouraging or ordering, or in any other manner causing the employees of the receiver O: the Cincinnati road to leave his employ with intent to interfere or obstruct operation on the road in his charge for the purpose of compelling said receiver to break his contract with the Pullman Car company, and not carry said cars in his train.
 At Il o'clock Phelan was still in charge of Marshal Bohl, having secured only one surety for his bond, Patrick Moran. Mir. Phelan did not appear disturbed. He said he would obey the injunction, and added: ''rhe boys know all about how to treat them. They need no instructions"

 THE PENNSYLVANIA.
 PITTsBURa, Pa., July 3.-Freight ship ments to all points west of Pittsburg are practically at a standstill. Thirty-two western roads have notified the Pennsyl- vania company's general office in Pittsburg that they will not receive freight of any kind until the boycott is settled.
 Freight trains are tied up all along the route between Pittsburg and Chicago and the losses from the delays will be numer- ous.. The railroad officials today for the first time admit their inability to move through freight. All efforts are ooncen- trated in keeping local freight and passen- ger trains moving. Pullman trains on the Pennsylvania system arrived and departed on time today. Eight American Railway union organizers are quietly at work among the railroad men in Pittsburg and no prediction can be made for the future. At the Baltimore and Ohio general offices the officials report all trains on time and no local inc onveniences.

 MAGNOLIA, Miss, July 3.-News reached here today of double killing that took place in Amite county yesterday. A negro teacher named Hood wrote the county superin tendent of education an insulting letter, and some young men went to see him about it.
 They arrived at the negro's house at mid day, and sent young man named Hanks in to tell him to come out. The negro re- sponded to the request by shooting Hanks down, and then walked to the window and began firing on the crowd with pistol. The crowd returned the fire, completely riddling the negro's body with bullets.
 Hanks was son of an ex-sheriff of the county and exceedingly popular, and his death at the hands of the burly negro hoodlum created great excitement.
