lapsed, but in many cases the outward
shells remain standing, and as result
the general contour of the city is less
changed than might be expected This
is particularly true of the sea front In
spite of what has been said, the form
of the Strait of Messina shows little if
any change.
THE harbor is filled with refuse of
every kind, and at one end the wreck
of sunken steamer.
10000 Dead In Messina.
Il estimate the deaths at Messina
conservatively at $4,000. The mind
shrinks from contemplation of the
present condition in the stricken city;
that there are thousands of persons
still alive in the ruins, and that count
less numbers must die.
"The tidal wave lasted much longer
than the earthquake. During all the
time we were in the harbor of Messina
our vessel shivered internationally, as
though shaken by some huge marine
monster

Little Johnny Jones. -

A musical attraction of exceptional
merit and one that has already made
metropolitan reputation in the leading
theatres of the country is Little john
ME Jones, which may be seen at the
Grand in DEBORAH, jan 7th, with the
entire and complete original production
as witnessed for twenty-five weeks in
New York and over three months in
Chicago last season; with engagements
of several weeks in Boston, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Washington, St.
Louis. 1t is seldom that an attraction
of this magnitude is witne sed outside
of the very largest citits. No musical
play produced for many seasons past
has been so widely talked about and no
music has been more widely sung or is
more familiar to every household in the
country than the delightful melodies of
Little Johnnie JONES'"
Amy Leslie, one of the most famous
writer's on the stage events in the
country, in her review of the perform
ance in the Chicago Daily News, finds
occasion in her column review of the
performance to remark: The play it
self rebounds tremendously to the
credit of so young and busy an author
as Mr.. Cohan 1t reflects much but
copies nothing except as kindly bur
lesque or cand!dly given "reminiscences.
1t is kindled with the spirit of harm
less clean frolic and has a story which
reads well, simply as a neat report SO
concise and intelligent it is. Such a
novelty as intelligence either called for
or expressed in musical comedy is a de-
parture and the smart little romance,
the comedy drama and the plot, have
lots of backbone and charm. Wit,
sharp, modern, new and agreeable,
adorns the briefest scene and song,
and the music which is likewise the
work of this talented young author is
so tuneful and simple, SO fetching and
jaunty that every tune of it crops up
at will almost complete as whistley
memory" When Little Johnny Jones
is witnessed in this city it will have q
cast composed entirely of stage nota-
bles and a chorus of over forty people,
numbering in all seventy five people.

c. Hams, U. S. A., and his wife, Mrs.
Virginia P. Hams, parents of Thornton
j. Hams, now being tried before JUS
tice Crane as principal in the slay-
ing of William E. Annis, were wit
nesses in their sons behalf yesterday

Gen. Hams declared that In his
presence, and before his two sons,
Peter and Thornton Hams, the cap
tain's wife, Claudia Hams, made a full
confession of her misconduct and
that subsequently Capt. Hams mani
tested such poignant grief from the
disclosures that his mental condition
became affected. The confession,
which Gen. Hams declared his sons
wife, Claudia, had signed on the day
following Capt. Hams return from
the west, was read to the jury.
Gen. Hams made a strong witness
for his son, and counsel for the defense
asserted that the evidence was now
conclusive that Capt. Hams was men
tally unbalanced when he shot William
Annis, and that his act was one of his
sole doing.
Through Mrs Gen. Hams. who wept
many times during her story, the de-
Tense drew out that Capt. Hams In his
early life evidenced physical weak
ness, which. counsel will endeavor to
prove through three experts, was a
predisposing cause to insanity. Gen.
Hams was permitted to say that his
father died from insanity.
