The people of this country do not
know what a thunder storm is,'' as
serted Juan Segarez, a native of Peru
when stopping in this city. "You
must go to the mountains of the
tropics if you want to see the bolts of
Olympian Jove and hear the thunders
roll. There is no sight on earth so
grand as midnight thunderstorm in
the Andes. Byron describes night
storm in the Alps, and it appears in
eXpreSsibly grand to those who have
never felt the solid earth rock be-
meath the terrific discharges, and
seen the forked bolts rend gigantic
rocks from mountain peaks and send
them crashing down into well-nigh
bottOmleSs chasms.
l spent night in the Andes in the
summer of '88. Our party was en-
camped in basin, walled in by three
snow-capped peaks. Shortly after
midnight sudden thunderstorm
came up, and those three peaks seem
ed to be encircled with fiery hlue SER
peDts, that coiled and famed and
darted their fiery tongues across the
triangular space at each other for an
hour while the peals of thunder fol-
lowed in such quick succession that it
seemed one continual crash-like an
endless crack of doom. Bowlders
larger than any building ever erected
by any man were torn from the crags
and hurled into the valleys, while the
rain came down like second deluge,
swelling in minute every tiny riv-
ulet to torrents that roared like Mag
ara. The storm ceased as suddenly as
it began, the torrents disappeared,
the stars shone out, and a silence like
the grave succeeded the awful pande-
monium.

THE MESSAGE.
Some Extracts from the Presidents
Message to Congress

'It is not my purpose to renew her
the argument in favor of a protective
tariff. The result of the recent cleo
tion must be accepted as having in
troduccd new policy. We must as
sumo that the present tariff, con-
structed upon the lines of protection,
is to be repealed, and that there is to
be substituted for it tariff law con
structed solely with reference to reve-
nue.: that no duty is to be higher be
cause the increase will keep open an
American mill or keep up the wages of
an American workman; but that in
every case such a rate of duty is so De
imposed as will bring to the treasury
of the United States the largest re-
turns of revenue.
PENSIONS.
''The commissioner of pensions be-
lieveS that if the present legislation
and methods are maintained and fur
ther additions to the pension laws are
not made the maximum expenditure
for pensions will be reached June 80,
1894 and will be at the highest preml-
um. | adhere to the views expressed
in previous messages that the care of
disabled soldiers of the war of the re-
beliion is matter of national con-
Germ and duty. Perhaps no emotion
coOls sooner than that of gratitude,
but | cannot believe that this process
has yet reached point with our peo-
pie that would sustain the policy of
remitting the care of those disabled
veterans to the inadequate agencies
provided by local laws.
ELECTIONS.
''It is time that mutual charges of
unfairneSS and fraud between the two
great parties should cease, and that
the sincerity of those who profess a
desire for pure and honest elections
should be brought to the test of their
willingness to free our legislation and
our election methods from everything
that tends to impair the public conf
dcnce in the announced result. The
necessity for an inquiry and for legis-
1atiOn by Congress upon this subject
is emphasized by the fact that the
tendency of the legislation in some
States in recent years has in some i'm
portant particulars hecn away from
and not toward free and fair elections
and equal apportionment. 1t is now
time that we should come together
upon the high plane of patriotism
while we devise methods that shall
secure the right of every man quail
fled by law to cast free ballot and
give to every such ballot an equal
value in choosing our public officers
and in directing the policy of the
government"

The way We Do Things.

ssWinston don't do things by halves. y
That is an old saying but it is true, as
is evidenced by the rapid manner in
which Abbott & Jones new brick
warehouse is going up on Main and
Church streets. The weather has
been fine, and the contractor, S.
Brown, is making hay while the sun
shines. - He is pushing the work with
great speed, and with continued fair
weather will have all the brick laid
before Christmas.

THE MAFIA'S WORK.

A Triple Assassination Near New Or
leans.
New ORLEANS, Dec. 9.-The city is
shocked today by the news of triple
assassination, the supposed work of
the dreaded Malta.
The assassination occurred in the
parish of The convent III st. James.
The three victims were enticed to a
lonely spot and there attacked. They
were shot in several places and hof-
ribly mutilated by knives.
Two were killed outright and one
was fatally wounded.
As yet there is no clue to the perpe-
traitors.

of the neighbors, called her most vile
name and had made serious charges
against her chastity.
When the people rested their cause,
the defendant declared that he had
come prepared to defend himself against
charges entirely different from those
brought out. and asked for postpone
ment in order to be able to bring wit
nesses here, who are at present in the
country. His chief witness, he said,
would be man named Oden, who
would corroborate his charges against
his wife. This statement created con-
siderable surprise and disgust among
the audience in court.
Eventually, after considerable wrang-
ling, the postponement was allowed,
and the parties left the court room.
During lunch time. however, it seems
that the plaintiff and defendant arrived
at some amicable agreement, and at
about 3 O'Clock Mrs. Holcomb came in
and withdrew the complaint. The de-
fendant paid the costs of the case and
was discharged.

SANTA CATALINA.
THE ISLAND PURCHASED BY THE
BANNINGS.
The Property Is Now in Excellent Hands.
1t Will Be Made Beautiful Resort.
The Plans of the Buyers.

The Banning brothers are now sole
owners of Catalina island, having pur-
chased the same from George R. Shat
to. The deed was recorded Saturday
afternoon, but the trade was not made
public until yesterday.
The deed is from George R. Shatto
and Clara R. Shatto to j. B. Banning.
The amount paid has not been made
public. The transfer includes the town
OF Avalon, excepting number of lots
already sold, the waterworks located
there and all reservoirs and pipe lines,
and an interest in a contract with the
International Mining Syndicate (lim-
ited).
1t is the intention of the purchasers
of the island to make it an attractive
resort. Improvements are to be made
which, combined with the natural
beauty of the island. will make
it popular place with pleasure seekers.
The Bannings have very large interests
at San Pedro. They are the principal
owners in the Wilmington Transporta-
tion company, whose steamers have
piled to and from the island, and by
reason of the great interests in their
hands are in a better position to utilize
their new purchase than anyone else.
With their characteristic energy they
have already formulated plans for i'm
provement. 1t is their intention to
make hotel and transportation rates as
low as possible. As every visitor to the
island knows, the accommodations for
visitors have been exceedingly poor for
some time, and by reason of the lack of
comfortable hotels and other accommo-
dations the number of visitors has fallen
off considerably.
With the changes which will be
worked by the new owners there will
be no pleasure resort the equal of Cata-
lima, and the coming season will find it
more popular and delightful than ever
before.
The island is very valuable posses
sion. 1t was purchased from the Lick
estate by George R. Shatto, who agreed
to pay about $3.50, 900 for it. A portion
of the above named sum was paid uuon
the transfer of the property, the re-
mainder being secured by mortgages.
Some time ago the International Min
ing Syndicate, an English concern,
bobbed up and it was announced that
this company would purchase the island
for $400, 900.
Colonel Smith of London was dis.
patched to this country to run the
island for the company, and for a time
there was great amount of talk about
improving the property, but for some
reason the syndicate did not come up
with the cash to Mr.. Shatto, and that
gentleman, not caring to carry the OBJ
legations any longer, sold out to the
Bannings, who had in the mean time
purchased the mortgage given the Lick
estate by Mr.. Shatto.

THE HoLCoMB CASE.
The Celebrated Divorce Lawyer and
His Wife.


His Wife.
Justice Owens's court yesterday morn
ing was the scene of an extremely spicy
hearing. The case was that OF w. W.
Holcomb, lawyer, whose wife charged
him with disorderly conduct. The Hol-
combs have been having any amount of
trouble with each other at their home,
on Twenty ty-seventh street, and their
family difficulties have come to be the
talk of the entire neighborhood. The
wife has been earning her own living
for some time by making trousers for
number of local merchant tailors, and
the people living near the house have
given her credit for being respectable
and hard working woman. Sne and her
husband have made some exciting
scenes about the premises, however, and
the neighbors who are fond of gossip
hare had their fill of wordy encounters
repfeie with expressions hardly compat-
ible with the usage of polite society. 1t
is also alleged that some Of these excit-
ing interviews developed into physical
contests. in which Mrs. Holcomb and
the family furniture suffered to great
extent.
Forbearance eventually ceased to be
q virtue, and Mrs. Holcomb swore to a
complaint against her husband. That
was about two weeks ago, and Holcomb
came into court voluntarily at the time
and gave himself up. The hearing of
the case was set for yesterday, the de-
fendant being liberated on his own re-
eopnizance. The interval between the
complaint and the trial was used by the
plaintiff for the purpose of collecting
evidence, with very commendable re-
suits, and the people had strong case
when it was presented yesterday by As
sistant District Attorney Diehl.
The facts as stated above were fret
brought out, and Mrs. Holcomb on the
stand particularized some Of the Incl
dents OF her connubial infelicity, includ.
ing number of choice vituperative ex.
pressions which, she says, were buried
at her by her hardhearted husband
Among other things, she declared thai
