A Western Union telegraph office
has been established at Downey, with
Mr.. Geo. NJ. Devendorf, an old opera
tor, in charge. Our aforetime citizen,
Herman Morris, claims the honor of
sending the first message on the new
line.
A drunken man complained to the
police last night that he was robbed
in restaurant, but on repairing to the
spot it was ascertained that benzine
had merely robbed him of his senses.
He had spent his money, and what
little sense he possessed had been
driven out by whisky.
The base ball season in Yuma City
will be inaugurated in few days by
a match game between Mexicans and
Americans. The ground is in excel
lent condition, and it behooves the
admirers of our national game to give
by their presence on the occasion a
substantial send-of to the new club.
We had call last evening from Mr.
Frank Carpenter, correspondent of the
Graphic, and w. A. Cowles, topog-
rapher for the Wheeler Expedition.
Both gentlemen will wait here few
days for others of the Wheeler party,
and in the meantime we commend
them to the hospitalities of our people
during their stay.
N. G. Carter, Of excursion fame, has
been heard of in Lowell, Massachu-
setts. He caught severe cold in
Chicago, which had laid him up, and
is desirOus to get back. He reports
great inquiry about California and in
creasing immigration in prospect. He
had 1877 adults and 223 children in his
train East, and all had good time.
At a meeting held in Los Angeles,
May 2Sth, of Temple No. l, Jannissa-
ries of Light, the following gentlemen
were elected as delegates to attend the
first meeting of the Grand Temple of
Jannissaries of Light, to be held in the
city of Los Angeles, convening June

VIM. Smith.
The Father Matthew temperance
meeting on Sunday night in the Court
House was large one and was ad-
dressed forcibly by Mr.. Fitzpatrick,
after which q number signed the roll.
Prior to the regular meeting, an inn
promptu gathering was held on the
sidewalk and addresses were delivered
by Messrs. Will d. Gould and Thos. b.
Wade.
A serious runaway would have oc-
Cured last evening about half past
but for the promptness Of Marshal
Carrillo. The horse attached to the
delivery wagon for bottled ale took a
notion to go on his own hook, but was
stopped in his mad career by the Mar
shal, opposite the Backman house, be-
fore any damage had resulted. The
owner soon after came up and thanked
the officer heartily for his action.
A serious accident happened to the
driver of a buggy on Sunday afternoon
at the corner of Fifth and Fort streets.
He sti uck the horse suddenly severe
blow with the whip, which caused
him to jump, throwing the driver out
on his head. For few moments he
was senseless, but afterward recovered
sufficiently to be taken to his home
on Main street, near Fourth. The
horse made his way back to the stable
on Los Angeles street, without injur-
ing the buggy. .f
We enjoyed pleasant visit to the
place of Mr.. Rubio, South of the city,
Sunday afternoon. Mr.. Rubio has
one of the finest homesteads in the
county, comprising one hundred acres
all under cultivation, and good por-
tiOn of it in trees and vines. From
twenty acres of foreign grapes on the
premises, the handsome sum of $4,000
was realized last year. For a
model of neatness, order and fine cul-
tivatiOn, we can recommend Mr.. Ru-
bios place to sight-seers.
Carruth, the Vineland, N. j., editor
who was shot in the head by a brother
editor, has recovered, and will resume
the harness in a few days. AS he car
ries an ounce ball mingled with his
brain, he is in fine trim to throw hot
shot into the enemy's camp or write
heavy editorials against the third
term or railroad usurpations. 1t is
timely warning against the idiotic
practice of offended citizens fooling
around trying to shoot an editor. Ii
you hit him in the head it is not nearly
so fatal as wound in the pocket.
Rev. Father Corrigan, of Dublin,
Ireland, who has been levying con-
tribution in San Francisco for the pre-
tended purpose of aiding in the erec-
tion of the Church Of st. Mary of the
Angels, in his native city, is repre-
sented to have prosecuted the same
enterprise in New York until he was
denounced as an imposter and swim
dler. He makes victims, principally,
of Irish domestics, working on their
sympathy for the cause he pretends to
represent, he gets them to subscribe
readily to his seductive wiles.
Let it be borne in mind by all inte-
rested that the new fire company meet
tonight at the Council rooms to elect
officers, adopt constitution and nec-
essary bylaws, and to organize per-
manent, active company, that will do
themselves credit and be of inestima-
BILE benefit to the city. The citizens
are fully aware of the necessity of an
other steam fire engine and a good
