This is the only country in the
world probably in which a person
can stand up alongside of u shower
of rain without getting wet, or can
walk out in the full glare of the
midday sun and get thoroughly
drenched. While the streets were
in mire yesterday, the water-cart
was out at Kapiolani Park laying
the dust. The Kapiolanians, how
ever, were getting well-moistened

The steamer St. Paul sailed at
noon to-day for San Francisco with
goodly freight list, but only four
passengers, one Chinaman in the
cabin and three white men in the
steerage. The band was playing on
the wharf and Notwithstanding the
inclemency of the weather and the
fearfully muddy crossings, there
was a fair gathering, mostly of
laboring men, to hear the music.
One of the sailors of the steamer
says the st. Paul is slow vessel,

A SHOOTING AFFAIR IN

From the Pearl Eiwr Ne,rs, pub

tract the following:
On Friday night. jim. Both, ut a

inaton parish, La., n shooting took
place between the Connerly boys
and the Duncans, in which the Con-
VS. were the sufferers. From
the best information that can he

old feud existing between the par
ties, which could not be settled ut
a more convenient time and place
than when there was plenty of
whisky on hand, and at frolic.
Wesley Duncan seems 10 have been
the instigator, and began by threats
to Monroe Connerly. who made no
resistance, whereupon he turned
his remarks TO the other brother,
Ephriam, who gave him a severe
blow in tho face. Robt. Duncan
then came upon the scene. and
using a 80 caIibre revolver, shot
Ep..raim Connerly in the left cheek,
the ball lodging in the head. At
ter Ephraim fell, he then turned
his attention to Monroe Connerly,
which resulted in Monroe receiving
three shots, one in tle neck, the
second in the shoulder, md the
third in the hand. A fourth slot
reiterated his clothing. and passed
on into horse on Which were seat

Only one shot was fred nj Duncan.

he made speedy fntreat. Eph1i-
am Connerly is supposed to be dan

We spent the day at Mrs. Burns
Chubby Hill Plantation last Sun
day. We found the roads in very
good condition. with the exception
Of Mud River" which was decided
~ Doggy. We noticed, MS a good
sign. that the planters have not
been idle during the winter. but
have been at work repairing fences.
etc. The woods were on fire abnu.
seven miles ont and beyond. and
it appeared to us that considerable
damage had been done to fences,
bridges. etc. When we reached
tue old Moore place, we found a
scene of desolation and waste. The
grass was burning on all sides; the
fencing had either been consumed
or was still ablaze. A large sheep
shed had been destroyed and IL
naked chimney marked the spot
where once stood the Virgil resi.l-
dence. As there was no one living
on the place, the flames made a
"clean sweep" Of everything they
came i'll contact with. Owing to
the great damage done, and the
property destroyed. we hope the
grass burners will be eventually
caught up with, although it seems
to be impossible to detect them. A
little vigilance on the part of the
people living along the road. in
noting the passing wagon trains,
may result in the arrest and con-
siction Of some of these ince ndi
aries. Under the law, it is a peni-
tertiary offense 10 burn the grass,
anIess the fire is confined to tue
premises of the burner.
