from tho country indicate some damage
to crops, especially ou the poorest and

Several Showers Astonish the
Citizens Yesterday.
Yesterday's weather started out in a
very pleasant manner, hut shortly after
noou the sky and sun became obscured
by clouds which were at first fleecy and
light, but which as the hours passed by
became heavier until in the evening it
was evident that rain was to be ex
pected. . At three o'clock in tbe after
noon there was a premonitory sprinkle
lasting about ten minutes, but as the
cloud which deposited these drops
passed over it was hoped that there
would be a large downpour. About
suudown the citizens were startled by
several flashes of lightning followed by
thunder claps, and shortly after
there was quite a shower which lasted
about half an hour. From this time
until about eleven o'clock there were a
number of slight sprinkles, but ut that
hour there was another storm which
was quite heavy while it lasted, a little
over ten minutes. Just before eleven
o'clock tho electricity caused the firo
alattn to strike twice aud a few minutes
later to strike once, putting out the
eleotriu lights on tbe masts at the same
time. It was reported that there hud
been two hail storms at San Fernando
and several thunder showers during the
day. It was not considered that those
showers caused any damage to the
growing orops, since they were not heavy
enough to beat down the grain or oar.su
i f , to lodge.

but in all the agricuilur.il districts ea-it
of tliu Rocky Mountains the average
temperature lor this week differs but
slightly from tho normal.
In Oregon, Washington Territory nnd
Northern California on excess of the

During this week the rainfall haa been
slightly iv excess of an average in the

Kansas haa been favored by rainfalls

injurious in the cotton region.
Throughout the entire agricultural

iir3t went to the Sierra Madre moun

pose of holding an inquest on the body
of Joseph Moore, brother of Captain
Moore, the Surveyor, who died while
prospecting for timber. It wm found to
be impossible to bring the body down,
so Coronet Meredith advised Ciptain
Moore to bury his blotter where ho lay,
nnd held no inquest. There was no
trail over the riiouDtain peaks, nnd M
there was no rign of a struggle iv the
vicinity there was no necessity for en
inquest.
Tho Coroner thou proceeded to Sin
Pcilro, where ho held «v inquest on the
body of Elizabeth Tanisb, who died
under circumstancas which WON con
sidered to need an investigation. It
was found, however, that she had
died from an excessive use of
intoxicating liquors. Her husband tes
tified that they cemmenaed drinking on
Monday last, and continued drinking
until she died. On Weduesday they
were both seen in bed, drnnk, and a
physician was called in. Ho prescribed
for both, but the woman died the next
morning. Deceased was a native of
England, :!."> years of age.
Doctor Meredith then proceeded to
Pasadena, where he held an inquest ou
the body of Robert Fryer, the shoe
maker who cut his throat. The jury in
the case found a verdict of suicide.

Circulars receiveel by Viticultural
Officer Wheeler from Controller Dunn
announce that the labels will be ready fir
delivery June sth, at the rate of $1:50
per 1000, plus the charge for forwarding.
Controller Dunn has also issued blank
forms for label applications. Kach ap
plicant will have to make affidavit be
fore a notary that the labels are solely
for his own use as required by law.
A CIRCULAR Of INSTRUCTIONS,
A circular of general instructions was !
issued to-day by Mr. Wheeler, contain
ing a oopy of the new law, a copy of a
letter from Attorney-General Johnson
explanatory of certain ambiguous
clauses and general comments, and ex
planations by Mr. Wheeler. These cir
culars will be sent to every wine-maker
aud every dealer, including all saloon
keepers and grocerymen, so far as possi
ble, within tbe State. Attention is
oalled to the fact that a specific
clause affeots all dealers who
sell any liquid for wino which
is not the making

Respecting wine analysis, it is said tint
producers should send samples lo
the Secretary of the Viticultural Com
mission, by whom analysis will be, pro
cured from the State Analyst, tv. B.
Rising, of the University of California.
These analyses are made under tbe pro
visions of the Act passed March I), 1885,
which speoiiios tbat the requests for
analyses aud the certiticatea made by
the State Analyst in response shall pass
the hands of tbe Secretary of the Viti
cultural Commission. The law provides
that this oertitioate shall be held in all
courts in this State as prima facie evident c
of tho properties of the articles analyzed
by him. Thus it may be seen that there
lies within tbe reach of every wine
maker or dealer as easy means of ob
taming without expense uncontrovertible
evidence wherever fraud is supposed.
The expense of this work is shared by
tbe State Analyst and the Viticultural
Commission. It is hoped that the Uni
versity Regents will assist in the support

of this analytical work. Professor Ris
ing is now ready for and engaged in the
examination of wines, the purity of
which can be quickly determined, and
the report made available iv a few days
after delivery of samples to Secretary
Wetmore of the Viticultural Commis
sion.
The expense of tbe 100,000 sianrps
already printed was borne by the Com-
I mission, as the Legislature made no ap- j
propriiitiou for purchasing the plates.
The committee of vine-grower's ap
pointed (named above), will proceed to
collect miscellaneous samples of wine
fouud throughout the city and State,
which, if proven spurious, will be
turned over to the District Attorney and
the case submitted to the courts.
Continuing, Mr. Wheeler says in his
oircular: "This Act, at the time of its
passage by the last Legislature, was tho
subject ot considerable criticism and dis
pate. It has been discufsed at great
length before the public, and having
ended in adoption and approval, it is to
be hoped that the little inconveniences
it may make, a few will bo amply cjui
plated by its good efl'oot on the gen
erw industry. If it opens the way to
any fraud we may be sure this part of it
will bo used by the enemy to counteract
the effect < f whioh every good feature of
the law must bo brought into requisition.
"Many demanded the use of certain
materials in preparing wines, which
materials to them teemed harmless, but
wliiuh to be deemed iv order, to exclude
other adulturants. For example, we
may well afford for the market with
in our owu State to abandon the use of
ordinary neutral spirits in fortifying
wines, if, by the same law, we are able ,
to stop the extensive and unhealthful ,
practice of slrctching, produced by the ,
same rman*.
"Nor must we forget tbe effect of this
Act ia enlarging the demand for grape
spirits aud thereby causing the distilla
tion of poor wines, which wonld other
wise bo fortified by neutral spirits and
thus usurp tbe place of better wines.
We will now substitute a native spirit
for au importation."
"The healthful eifeot of cur wines and
a consequent increase in local consump
tion will be greatly promoted by tne sui>
stilution of grape spirits for cheaper
poisonous spirits."
WHhkl' -\r«D w vi.it
THE DEMAND FOR ITKK WINE.
The public are urged to demand the
pure wine stamp on bottles at all times,
and the trade will then be forced to
supply wine under a California label. It
is suggested that the Controller publish
a I: t of all applicants f. r stamps, and
this will perve us a valuable directory
for purchasers.
Iv conclusion it i 3 said: "Dealers have
now had ample time for working oil
'their suspicious products, and every op
portunity has been given those who,
uerhaps, with honest motives ut first,
have beon forced into the use of cheap
ening proeessess by harmful competition,
to start anew on a fair, square basis,
with an ea'y redress from those who
compete by dishonest means. Whatever
effect this law may have, it will

celleuce fcunded on q ality,
and not alone on price, which latter has
proved the ruinous measure by which
our wines have b on gangod sad mar
keted, a measure by which Ihey hive
hetu caused to-degenerate, rather than
improve. Good wine cuulinoes to im
prove, and will jay to keep. Poor wino
«ill rabidly deteriorate, and, if not
allowed to be drugged, ninat go either
to Mm distillery or be made int.) vim-gar.
"If this law be-conus tlf,cttve, which

California market lor good wine. It
will send the greater part of tbe poor
wine to tho distillery, the sale of which

figures which preclude the possibility of
marketing any choicer grades for the
general public."—[S. F. Bulletin.
PURE WINE.
An Error That Should Be Cor
rected.
The Herald hns several times called
attention lo the practice of the deputy
clerks in issuing marriage licenses and
failing to outer the names of the parties
iv the fee book of the effioe. Saturday
night a marriage notice was brought into
the Herald office, in the due course i f
business, and it was published iv Sun
day's paper: The reporter knew that a
license for such marriage did not appear
of reoord at the Clerk's Gthoe, but as he
also knew that on two other occasions
during tho week the names of parties to
whom licenses had been issued were
suppressed, he supposed this a like cue.
It now transpires tbat tbe marriage
notice was false and malicious. Tbe
parties were not married, and have no
intention of being united in wedlock.
This publication is liable to canse people
to feel badly, and it would not have
occurred had the soft-hearted employes
of the Clerk's office done their duty.
Dissatisfied Excursionists.
The Herald is in receipt of a letter
from Mr. A. H. Hutchinson in relation
t tbe manner in which a Band of Hope
excursion to Santa Monica, whioh took
place on Saturday, was treated by the
railroad otiioials. The exoartionists say
that they chartered three oars, but the
officials refuted to allow more than fifty
persons to ride in a car. It is also
charged that those holding excursion
tickets who were excluded from the
chartered cars were obliged to pay dou
ble fare. If those holding exounion
tickets and denied admittance to the
chartered cars will communioate with
Mr. A. H. Hutohitun, postofhce box 789,
their money will be refunded. Resolu
tions signed by about forty of tbe ex
cursionists expressing a deep disgust at
the treatment of the company acoom
pany Mr. Hutchinson's letter. The
lensth of the communication prevents
i!s publication, but the above embraces
the salient features.
Tbe rails are laid on tbe Southern
acitio Branob Railroad for a distanc* of
nine miles this side of Ventura. The
work of ballasting the road is being
rapidly poshed, and everything points
to a speedy completion of the road to
this city. Then look out and
stand from under, for prosperity
will reign in a manner alto
gether unheard of. The coming of
strangers to our beautiful oity will be
the means of adding wealth to tbe place,
new industries will be inaugurated, and
the tide of immigration will oontinue
year by year, until Santa Barbara will,
In a commercial point of view, be the
second oity in Southern California. This
assertion may be regarded by some as
promature, as feas the article published
in the Independent several months ago,
to the effect that we were to have a rail
road. Time alone will tell.—[lndep-n

I lasted five seconds. Next there came.
1 prefaced by a low roar, and accompanied
, by ■ stiff breeze, a violent oscillation of
the earth from east to west, which
awoke nearly every one, lasting as it
did, thirty-nine seconds. Houses
swayed to aud fro as if they wire
ships at sea and persons arising
from their beds, were in many cases

1 Bells were rung in the hoteU.aod every

1 came still another oscillation of touch
! and more violence, proceeding from
north to sauth. Daring this shock,
crockery was thrown down and pictures
demolished in several houses. Toon,
sands of persons dressed themselves and
did uot go to bod again. Reports re
ceived here to-day by Governor Cabal
los, from the Federal District do not
show any fatalities as a result
of this eartbqnuke, and deu z ns of the
suburban towns report about th- tame
sensations as were felt by the inhabit
ants of the metropol s.
At the School of Mine', Secretary

taken place. The instrument arr self

this morning was a cevero one.
