A THUNDERSTORM.

All yesterday afternoon the firma-
ment presented an aspect which in
Dictated coming rain. At nightfall,
distant lightning flashes were visi-
BILE. A few drops of rain fell. The
heavens continued to gather dark
ness until sometime past midnight,
about 2 o'clock, when terrific
thunderstorm broke over the city,
accompanied and succeeded by q
downpour of rain. The lightning
was fierce and frequent, closely fol-
lowed by claps and peals of thunder
that made everything movable trem-
BILE. The rain came down in tor
rents, and lasted long after the
electric artillery had ceased its
roar, continuing until daybreak with
little or no attachments when il
moderated into moderate showers.
During this forenoon, since s
O'Clock, the weather has been mod.
erately fine, but the rain resumed al
little past one this afternoon.

M0L0KAi ITEMS.

The working party to lay the
water-pipe to the Leper Settlement
and under the direction of Supt.
Wilson arrived at Waikolu, Molol<ai,
on the 21st inst.
The weather at Kalaupapa and
Kalawao, Molokai, has been quite
pleasant for several weeks past, and
the steamers have experienced little
difficulty in landing freights.
A breakwater is much needed at
Kalaupapa, and as plenty of labor
and material is at hand it seems sur
prising that no effort has been made
to supply this want.
Waikolu is the headquarters of
the Molokai Water Works at pre-
sent, and already boasts of a Super
intendent's office, storehouse, black
smiths shop, and seven new (can-
vas) buildings, all erected in one
night.
The taro planters in the Waikolu
valley have been much annoyed by
the depredations of Il large boar.
Present prospects point to an early
relief from this trouble, as Superin-
tendent Wilson has expressed his
intention to bore hole through the
troublesome boar.
There is talk of starting new
weekly paper at Kalawao to be call
ed the "Molokai News" There is
much need of q newspaper there OF
some sort as the inhabitants are
deemed to be at present too happy
in their ignorance of politics, foreign
wars and local abuses.
Work on the new pipe line to sup
ply the Settlements at Kalawao ant
Kalaupapa with water is to b,
rapidly pushed forward, Minister
Thurston having not forgotten the
oft-eXpressed need of his former
constituents.
The steamer Mokolii will probably
call into Waikolu every week during
the stay of Superintendent Wilson
and his party at that place.

A MAN GETS SHOT
AT HAMAKUAPoKo, MAUI.

Recently, Mr.. Norris, the genial
and accommodating conductor of
the Wilder II. r., becoming
little incensed at thu. manner
in which the Paia bullock carts were
being driven over theIR. r.. track,
declared, if necessary to protect the
property, he would station a man on
each side of the track with instruc-
tons. to shoot the first man caught
driving across the track, except at
the regular crossings.
Quite crowd having collected,
and rs the train was about to leave
for Kahului, some person remarked
in sad tone of voice, "a man got
shot at Hamakuapoko this morn
ing" when our friend with blanch-
ed cheeks Immediately jumped on
the train and was off.
On arriving at Kahului the news
soon spread, and of course was not
long in reaching the ear of our
worthy Sheriff, who is ever on the
alert for evil doors, when he i'm
mediately dispatched trusty de-
putty to Hamaluapoko to ascertain
the facts in the case, hold an in
quest if necessary, and to leave no
stone unturned until he brought the
culprit to the bar of justice.
On arrival, after diligent enquiry
among plantation hands, he finally
sought Mr.. G. III. Dickey, who keeps
store at that place, and making
known his business, was informed
10y Mr.. D., while a smile lit up his
countenance, that man got two
pounds of shot there that morning
for sporting purposes, and paid for
it like a man. The effect on said
deputy must be imagined, but not
described. At present writing
everything is quiet, but who can tell
what day will bring forth. Should
anything serious happen you will
hear again from

THE CHAMPION WRESTLING GIRL.

Whistling is the craze with New
York girls now. Mrs. Shaw is the
champion whistling girl now, and
she has scores of unsuccessful imi-
tations.
Mrs. Shaw's fute.like notes are
described as simply phenomenal
compared to the average young
lady's, and those who expect to
emulate her successfully must in the
first place be assisted by natural APP
titude. iSome years ago it was
rare to hear q young lady whistling,
but now every household has a
young daughter that goes about the
house trying to initiate the birds.
There was q time when it was
considered very unrefned for
young lady to whistle, and the
mother always chided her by repeat
ing the very trlte lines about a
whistling woman and a crowing-hen
never coming to good end. All
that is changed now, and the mother
and daughter are just as proud of
their daughters whistling accom-
plishments as they used to be OF
their skill as musicians. The man.
dolin, guitar and banjo for the pre-
sent are relegated to the back stairs
of unpopularity to make room for
the new craze.

THE SUPERINTENDENT OF WATER
WORKS ON M0L0KAI,

HIS EXCELLENCY l.. A. THURsToN,
Minister of Interior. Sri have
the honor to present to Your Excel
lency the following facts relative to
my movements up to this date.
Myself and party arrived at Ka-
laupaPa per Mokolii, at A. NJ, on
the 2lst inst. As there was consider
able freight to be landed there, l
had the Chinese landed and they
walked over to our present location,
Waikolu.

son, as | learned that Mr.. Myers

left Kalaupapa at $3.50 A. NJ,
and came direct TO Waikolu to await
the arrival of the Mokolii with our
stores, baggage, pipes, etc. The
Mokolii arrived off Waikolu at ~ 80
p. NJ. and Immediately began to dis
charge; and although there was con-
siderable wind, and consequent surf,
l am happy to say that all the stores
and baggage were landed without
damage, all hands being employed
until $3.50. Work was resumed
early this morning getting the pipe
on shore. The impossibility of
making boat landings, compelled the
unloading of the pipes into about
seven feet of water on a sandy
bottom; and consequent diving, at
which both Capt. McGregor and
myself we're compelled to assist.
Your Excellency will undoubtedly
perceive that this manner of transit
was both laborious and tedious, but
| am happy to state that | have
succeeded in landing all the pipe
with but little damage, and without
any outside assistance, except that
of Capt. McGregor of the steamer
Mokolii, and his crew. With regard
to assistance, | have to say to Your
Excellency that was led to believe
that members of the settlement
would have been only too happy tc
be employed at reasonable rate Of
wages.
On the afternoon of the 2lst, aftel
nearly one half of the stores, etc
had been landed, some twenty-five
natives rode into Waikolu from thu
settlement and offered their service,
as laborers. ! asked them the rate
per day ruling in the settlement;
was answered 90 cents per day:

MESSRS. C. W. MACFARLANE & co. s
DISPLAY,

Through the kindness of Messrs.
G.. w. Macfarlane & Co., q BULLE-
TIN reporter has been accorded the
privilege of viewing their Art and
Fancy Goods Exhibition, in advance
of their opening day, but in the
limited space of an ordinary news
paper article it will be impossible to
describe to our readers the many
beautiful articles that met our re-
porter's gaze.
The handsome and spacious show
rooms have been re-arranged and
renovated for this occasion and with
the beautiful and varied display
therein presented compares favor
ably with many of the more preten-
tious institutions of the larger metro
politan cities. General arrange
ment of the exhibition is singularly
striking and effective, and presents
an ensemble that is delightful, pleas
ing and harmonious in color and
design.
The main room contains many
tables which are laden with bric-a-
brac of the choicest character, and
arranged with exceedingly artistic
taste, among which may be men
toned some exquisite pieces in
Royal Worcester and Hungarian
ware, and which doubtless, will find
an immediate place in some of
Honolulu's finest houses. Notice
able in this display are a pair of
life size busts in bronze, of an East
Indian Prince and Princess in full
Oriental regalia. The modelling is
artistic to a degree, and the decora-
tions are exquisitely enamelled in
gorgeous colors and with particular
nicely of detail.
Variously disposed about the
walls and on the floors, are rugs and
carpets of the handsomest discrip-
ton, of all sizes, colors and designs,
and without doubt the finest line of
this class of goods ever seen in
this market. Some of the larger
size of the Persian rugs are
particularly handsome and will APP
peal to the most critical taste.
The display of furniture is es-
pecially attractive, and forms one of
the finest features of the whole eXhi-
bition. A beautiful chamber set in
white enamel is deserving of parti-
cular mention. 1t is contained in
one of the little side rooms and
shows off to great advantage with
the accessories that are disposed
about the room in the shape of lace
hangings, pictures and other decor
alive articles a veritable 6OudOr.
In the adjoining room which is
fitted up in much the same way, is
a very elegant carved, polished wal
nut chamber set which will attract
much attention. 1t is unquestion'
ably one of the finest sets of furni-
ture that has been seen on these
Islands and should not remain long
without a purchaser. Disposed
