PINE BLUFF, ARK, July 23. 1896.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, July 23, 1896.
 Gentlemen:-The weather contin- ues hot and dry, and in parts of the State it has become a serious mat ter. With the exception of a few local showers, middle aad Southern Arkansas have had no rain this month, and in the Southeastern part of the State it is still worse. We sent our representativ through this district this week. He reports the corn crop ruined and cotton dying in many places. The early planting-from March 25th to April 15th-is standing the drought fairly we'll and has some fruit, but the late planting will make nothing unless we have rain very soon. To give a better idea of the condition of this dry district, we will name the coun- ties and give date of the last gener- al rain that fell in them: Drew, Ashley, Desha, Chicot and Bradley counties, last rain April 18th; Lin coln, Cleveland and Calhoun have had occasional showers and are not suffering so much. The forest trees are dying in the Monticello district, which is evidence of unusually hot and dry weather.
 A general rain throughout the State would be a great blessing. The temperature has been in the neighborhood of 100 deg. for two weeks.
 Yours Respectfully, | s. c. ALEXANDER X Co.,

At the po- lice station he refused to talk, but the boy told Sergeant Murphy that in St. Paul, his native city, he met St. Clair, who seemed to exercise peculiar infu- ence over him. Less than 8 year ago, young Peterson said, he came to Chica- go with this man St. Clair, who told him, so the latter said, that if he at tempted to leave him or told anyone about the mistreatment he received he would kill him.
 Several weeks ago" said the boy, 'swe went out to Oak Park and Austin and committed number of burglaries in each place. St. Clair compelled me to assist in these burglaries. telling mo what to do. We got considerable prop erty, which St. Clair disposed of. Then we went to New York, where we com mitted one burglary. We did not realize very much from it, and St. Clair thought we had better come back to Chicago. We arrived in this city sev- eral days ago and I have been searching for chance to get away from St. Clair,
