AZ USUAL.

Once more have we been defrauded
by that greatest Of all frauds, the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
Two brief items, and no more, from
San Francisco, comprises the sum total
of our Geographic advices in this issue
of the SENTINEL. The startling intelli-
gence that a suit has been commenced
against the South Woodville Mining
Company, and that the carnival in
San Francisco the other night was a
success, is all that is vouchsafed us ty
this company, whose lines connect with
almost every village and hamlet in the
American Union. Six, seven or ten
days have passed with similar results.
This thing cannot longer be tolerated,
and the question. is already suggesting
| itself as to whether the Western Union
Company can be relied upon with
certainty for the prompt transmission
OF either private or press dispatches.
Beyond all question the gross negli-
gence which has lately characterized
its management with reference to the
interior would Justify a material fall
ing off in its business at once, and
while we do not care to recall I'M
pleasant bygones, it is true that the
record of the company while enjoy
ing a monopoly here was not such
AS to endear it to our people. That
little matter of taxes two years ago, in
which the patrons ofthe company ere
forced to make up a certain deficit,
would not tend to swell its receipts
If vigorously agitated. For our own
part, and WI say it once for all, we
shall never again tamely submit to its
delinquencies. If the managers can
not cure the abuses habitually prsc
ticed on a patient and long. suffering
public by impairment upstart hirelings
in repeating offices, who seem clothed
with full power to do just IS they
please, we shall make it our especial
business on all proper occasions to
show up the workings of the whole
concern in terms hat can not be mis-
taken. This grasping, hating, unre-
larry each month the contract price in
full for our report, and il we do not
receive it with reasonable promptness
and regularity we intend from this
time on to know the reason why. We
have been bilked enough.

PACIFIC COAST DISPATCHES
FROM CALIFORNIA.
Suit Against the WOOdviIIe - The
Grand Carnival n Success.

IhMM Z -
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20.
Jas. T.. King brought suit yesterday
in the Fifteenth District Court against
the South Woodville Mining Company
ct al. to recover $24,0O0 damages for
stock which it is alleged the company
has unlawfully converted to its own
use.
The carnival ball last night Was a
great success. Nearly 10000 people
were present, including about 1900
maskers. The pavilion was hand
somely decorated. The grand march
commenced at 10 O'Clock. Compare
lively few costumes showed much eff
fort at originality. Many were very
elegant, with a large proportion of the
comic element. The most striking
feature of the procession was u boat
with silken sails, bearing Anthony
and Cleopatra. drawn by slaves. Sa-
tan with his grandmother and attend
ant imps in n car attracted much atten-
ton. There were many we'll sustained
humorous characters, and the usual
variety of pages, knights, monkeys,
clowns and other fancy and fantastic
costumes. A band of Indians per-
formed a war dance, carrying u the
representation in excellent style. All
of the arrangements were carefully
made and well carried out.

A MAS sHor AT AUSTIN.

The Reueiite of the 18th gives the FOL
lowing accoun Of a shooting scrape in
Austin:
About one o'clock this morning a
mar named Michael Ryan Vas shot
aud, it is supposed, mortally wounded,
in the Lafayette Restaurant. The
shooting is alleged to have been done
by a man named Jas. l.. johnson,
who, however, denies having fired the
shot; but a. he was considerably un-
der the influence of liquor and those
present assert that he fired The >hot.
MS statement must, OF course, be taken
with considerable allowance. The cur
rent account of the affair Is 10 the effec
that Ryan, who is represented n any
thing tut a quiet and peaceable man,
entered the restaurant and commenced
abusing Joe Wolff. the night steward.
Joe Is All extremely quiet and inoffens-
i've man, and undersiZed witial, while
Ryan Is described as n large and nus
cular Joe offered no resistance
10 Ryan's abuse, and the latter wound
up by kicking HIN in the stomach,
AT this junclute. Johnson, who WAS
eating al one of the tables, arose anu
advancing towards Ryan, fired the
shot that will in all probability result
! Ryan's death. johnson was arre~i-
Q in his o by Sheriff Emery and
lodged in Jail, and was brought before
Justice Logan This afternoon for exam
inatiou, tut the only witness examined
WAS Dr. Huntsman, Ryan's attending
physician, who testified hat the ball
entered the left side, about three inches
below the nipple, and ranged down
ward into the abdominal cavity, and
further, thai the chances were against
Ryan's recovery. At the conclusion
OF DIR. Huntsman testimony, the kan
ina,i0n was Adjourned to next Friday
to await the result of Ryan's injurie,
The Reveilte Of the following day ha
these additional items OIL the same sub
ject:
The condition of Michael Ryan be.
ing considered critical, Johnson, the
mar accused of shooting him. was
this afternoon taken to his bedside for
the purpose Of identification. So 500
as Johnson entered the room Ryan
recognized him as the man who hal
shot him, and said: "Your'e here, are
you, you numbering scoundrel?.'
Previous to this difficulty Ryan and
johnson not acquainted.
Ryan, the man who was hot ycster-
day morning, Is in q very precarIous
condition, with small chance OF ecov
cry. The physicians have thus far
been unable TO find the ball. johnson
still denies having fired the shot.

The public mind in San Francisco,
and, in fact, all o, the coast, is still
sensitive and easily excited on the SUBJ
ject of finance. Some ugly rumors
have lately been afi"at at the Bay and
also in the western part Of the State,
concerning which the telegraph, as in
all other cases, has not deigned to
speak. We find this in the Alta:
edward Barron, President Of the
California and Consolidated Virginia
Mining Companys, has resigned, and
r. II. Follis, brother in-law of j. G..
Flood, has been appointed his success
sors. This, in connection with the
closing Of the transfer books for an
indefinite period, makes a good deal of
talk on the street. There are rumors
Of an over issue OF California stock,
and that Flood Il O'Brien have lost
control of the stock, and reports and
~urmises of all kinds are banded
about"
The Alta simply gives the above a.
a sample Of the rumors set ON foot In
San Francisco, but says there is
nothing in the situation to warrant
such stories. In strict keeping with
the wild rumors at the Bay, is the fol-
lowing from the S.luer State of the
18th inst:
Passengers on to-day's train said it
was ruInOred yesterday in the western
part of the State that the Bank of CAL
itornia had again suspended. 1t was
doubtless q false report, circulated
probably to injure the bank.
OF course it can hardly be possible
that there is any foundation In fact for
these rumors, and yet had the whole
city Of San Francisco been swallowed
up by an earthquake, it is not likely
that the idiot who collates dispatches for
the p.country press would have dis
covered it. Our San Francisco ex-
