FATAL SHOOTING ARRAY AT
TUsGARORA.


An Innocent Man the Victim.
Tuscarora comes to the front with o
tragedy. The Rerietc of the 18th
contains a full report Of a recent tragedy
from which we condense the following
About two o'clock Yesterday morning an
ARRAY occurred in Jack Woods saloon, be-
tween James Clark and Joseph Garcia, bet
ter known as Spanish joe" The affair
resulted in the latter being shot in the
wrist, and in the death of George +. Gull
yer, a young man who was in no way con-
nected with the trouble between the bellig-
erent parties. 1t appears there was an old
grudge existing between Clark and Garcia.
and as the latter was standing in the saloon
talking to Culver at the time above-men-
toned. Clark anne in, and 70 ne words
passed between the two, when Clark drew
his pistol and fired two shots in immediate
succession the first inflicting a severe
flesh wound in the left wrist Of Garcia, but
breaking no bones, and the second pene-
trating the left side OF Culver between the
hip bone and lower ribs. The young
man was taken to Mr., Higgins lodging
house on Gold street, and medical attend
ance summoned. but it was evident that
human skill could avail him nothing. The
ball had evidently penetrated the bowels.
and after lingering in agony until nine
o'cia@k yesterday morning, he died.

Not the Kind ola Reception that ife
Expected.

A little episode, Wednesday evening last
will result in the retirement from public
life for o time Of two well known citizens.
1t was all about a note, found by q fond
husband in his wife's pocket, a missive
Astounding in endearing expressions, hint
ing Of former meetings, and concluding
with a request for another on the evening
mentioned, in a secluded spot, not very far
from the Atlas furnace. II the appoint
ment was granted, a reply was to be drop
ped in the postofice. Here was a guam
Diary. There was no signature save the in
itial M" and the enraged and jealous
husband knew not the parsonage who
started his name with that letter. How
ever, he ran over in his mind the list Of his
acquaintance who fitted the character,
and finally decided that a young Lothario
who f~requented the house, and was on inti-
mate terms with his spouse, must be the
man. Initiating his wife's handwriting
and signature, he replied to the letter in
the affirmative. Then. when the time ar
rived, . O'Clock, sharp, he went to the To-
cality, armed with a club, and eager for
IcFCuBt. ne uhu III tnc IlSit uhiA OH Tue
head, for at the appointed hour the young
fellow sauntcred to the foot OF the Atlas
dump pile. He was an expectant and un-
suspicious lover, and was anticipating q
much different and more pleasing recep-
ton. To soy that he was taken by sur
prise as the husband stole up behind him
and commenced TO shower blows from the
~bludgeon on his devoted head would ex-
press but a faint idea of his establishment.
BY all ordinary rules he ought to have
turned and run for dear life, but he was
plucky, withal, and instead he wheeled and
~grappled with his assailant. 1t must have
been a bitter fight, for both men were
completely used up. They ceased only
from sheer exhaustion, and then the hus-
band read the il truder in his domestic
joys a lecture, in which he mentioned the
fact that pistols and knives would be used
il it was ever necessary to renew hostilities.
A lawyer has since been consulted, and if
evidence sufficient can be accumulated
there will be a suit for divorce instituted
at an early date.

We hear it whispered around town that
there has been q session Of the col, and
that it will be followed shortly by the is
suapce Of a humber Of invitations to GER
tain gentry to emigrate to more c~ongenial
chimes. Tie presence Of a number Of I'M
desirable sojourners in the town. the prev
alcnce Of a general feeling OF insecurity,
and desire to rid the community Of this
undesirable class without recourse to tie
uncertainties Of the law, is given as the
cause of the movement. 1t may be that
no action will be taken, and the move will
be held in allegiance until further overt
acts are committed by the class referred to.
1t is certain, however. that there has been
a consultation among those who constitute
the active members of the recent vigilance

We receive Communications on all sorts
OF subjects, and from various persons who
are DESTROYS Of airing their grievances
through the columns Of the SENTINEL.
The latest is an ~effusion from a blood
thirsty individual who is anxious TO COM
mence a war on felines. Hear him:
EDTroR SENTINEL II propose that a
much afflicted and enduring people rise in
their majesty and miner a crusade
against the cats. Let us poison them by
wholesale. Any expedient for getting rid
of an intolerable nuisance is perfectly JUS
tifiable. Do the owners of cats suppose
that people are going to be kept awake by
the screeches and caterwaulings of q score
Of the feline tribe under their windows
every night? If they do, they presume too
much upon the patience and endurance of
a suffering community, and they might as
well understand that people will not stand
it, as, indeed, they ought not to do. 1t
would be a good thing if there were per-
sons in every part Of the city, wherever the
hours for sleep are rendered hideous with
the yells Of cats, who would take the re M
edy into their hands and abate the nuisance
in the only summary way yet devised.
People nave a right to keep as many cats as
they choose, provided they are not per-
mitted to interfere with the rights OF 9TH
ers but when they are turned loose INTO
back yards and suffered to convert hours
when people wish to sleep into a pande-
monium, they become such a nuisance as
to call for a summary abatement.
SUFFERER.
We think our correspondent is undnly
Is he aware that cats have some
rights that he is morally bound to respect?
Because he has no ear for melodious
sounds, shall this race Of domestic pets be
$50 to-" thou barbarian.
Thy suggestion reveals a diabolical cruelty
that must be restrained, and we will,
should the scheme limited at above be in
augurated, reveal your name to the few
maids who cherish those animals, and
gloat over the dire punishment that they
will wreak upon you.

II happened in a certain parlor not a
thousand miles from Spring street, and
the sufferer was, as usual, a much abused
woman, q lady who prides herself on the
correctness Of her language and general
high b~rteding-one Of the cultured in fact,
imbued, since her spouse had become rich,
with a disdain and adherence for anything
vulgar. She was entertaining q party Of
heightened callers-the creme de Ia creme,
ss ii were. and one Of the ladies suggested
the novel idea that it was q very warm
evening. The husband entered at that
moment, just in time to catch the SEN
tence, and he took up his portion OF the
conversation with the nod OF assent and
the affirmative OF the weather question by
saying: Warm? Well, your just right;
it's hot. / told the old woman this morn
that I'll have to shake these fiannels pretty
soon. My undershht is sticking 10 me
like . porous plaster to q lame back, and l
reckon l nave sweat q pint this afternoon,

get down to cotton this time OF the gear,

conversation, and, strange to say, none OF
the guests threw any light ON the advisa-
hility OF the change. The company soo
left, and passers-by shortly afterward
heard an elevated female voice pronounc.

Point for fne Roars.

A prominent New York paper states that
John w. Mackay, when he passed through
that city a few weeks since en- route for
Paris, advised his friends there to buy
California and Consolidated Virginia
stock, saying that in consequence Of Col
onel Fairs illness it had been his business
to supcrintend the mines for the last two
months. He stated that there was enough
ore in sight in the California to pay the
two dollars per share dividend for five
months to come. He also alleged that as
soon as the retimbering Of the main shaft
in the Consolidated Virginia was completed
the payment Of the dividend of two dollars
a share per month would be resumed.

The Richmond Renort,

We yesterday obtained a glimpse of the
report Of the English Commission, who,
last summer, visited and examined the
Richmond mine. 1t is a very interesting
document, and the members Of the Com
mission have gathered a mass of informa-
ton and documentary details covering the
whole situation. The report is very an-
favorable to the present manager, and calls
for his resignation. 1t also recommends
that the refinery be closed down, bringing
forward an army of figures to prove that
the concern is run at a dead loss to the
stockholders. Its review of the workings OF
the mine and furnaces is also exhaustive
and, in fact, the work is written with an
elaborateness that proves the industry and
thoroughness with which the gentlemen
discharged their duties.
