On Thursday night several Well-knoWn colored

masquerade ball at Lyceum hall, Oa street,
near Twelfth. The occasion brought together
fully three hundred OF the sons and daughters Of

passed. The most perfect order prevailed, and
the police on duty bear testimony that during
the entire evening there was no unpleasant Incl
dent to mar the festivities.
AS cur reporter dropped in at a late or rather
early hour, the scene was an animated one. The
females, without exception, were in costume,
and the silks, VeiVets and cambrics with spangles
and stars, the short dresses. flesh colOred Ccsu-

DISTRICT NOTES.

The Water Registrar Enforcing tie Rules
Governor Dennison hasreturned Is the city, and
was in attendance at the Columbian building yes
terday.
THE WATER SUPPLY.
FREQUENT Complaints have been made to the
Commissioners as TO the sclrcity of water at all
high points IN the District, and they have called
the attention OF Water Registrar Lubey to the
tact with the request that something be done to
suppress the waste in the lover parts Of the city
The registrar has Instituted a careful inyestiga-
tioD as TO where leaks are occurring. The result
has shown that during Wednesday and Thursday
200 or 500 places were found where water was per-
miIted TO flow all night. These leaks, mostly in
public houses and livery stables, have, by order
OF Major Lubey, been cut oil, and the water will
turance that no further waste will be permitted.
This is disagreeable duty yet as persons per-
sst in violating the law, in justice to very large
class who are deprived OF water for the orGlnary
purposes OF life, the register feels compelled to
enforce the rules. In connection with this mat
ter he has prepared the following circular, which
will be delivered to all who are not disposed to
comply with the water regulations:
Special SOtice.-The following section OF the
Gt OF @ for the f z, me-
formation OF all owners and occupants Of prem
ises wherein Potomac water is used:
Sec. j.. II any occupant ofpremises into whieh
has been introduced the water shall permit the
same to run or waste unnecessarily from any hy-
drant, cock, jet street washer or other hxture OF
u any uNuIhht. jet, COChf hLICSI heehoA " OsHS-
fixture be found leaking, and said occupant, owner
agent OF the premises shall refuse or neglect to
have the necessary repairs made without delay,
or refuse admission to the water registrar inspec
tor or other authorized agent into his premises,
when in the official discharge OF his duty as mere.
inbefore provided the person so offending shall
forfeit and pay fine of not less than five dollars
nor moro than thirty dollars for each ofense, and
the supply of water shall be stopped from said
premises until satisfactory assurance 1t given the
water registrar that the like case will not occur
again"
Attention is particularly called to the above, as
the e1travagant use and waste of Potomac water
in the city threaten to seriously interfere with
supply tor even the ordinary domestic use, and
am directed to notify all owners o: residents OF
buildings that if the water is wasted from spig-
OTIS. leaking water fixtures or other means OF
waste. that the water will be Immediately cut oil
from the premises, and the offending parties pros
ecuted under the law. This duty, however dis
agreeable, will be enforced as IL has now bec1me
a necessity not only to put stop to aylcious
habit that daily inconVeniences many thousands
of citizens, but in some parts Of the city might
result in q serious calamity in case OF tre.

BANK OF CALIFORNIA.
Malicious Suit Against ths Directors by
Nav Yorkers.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 14.-Messrs. Isador and
Simon Wormser, of New York, have tlled COM
plant In the United States Circuit Court here
against the Bank Of California. The plaintiffs
own 200 shares OF the stock Of the bank. The
complaint alleges that the trustees Of the bank,
with the exception of Mr. Ralston, were guilty Of
gross neglect and mismanagement IN surrender
ing control OF the bank to Mr.. Ralston, who ap-
piled the funds OF the Dank to his private pur-
poses, whereby the bank lost sl2,0O000o and the
stock became worthless. After the death OF Mr..
Ralston q change Of trustees took place and new
trustees made a certificate OF election OF the
bank to continue in existence under the civil code
OF California intend ng to relieve the stockholt-
ers of Individual responsibility.
Plaintiffs did not consent TO this action and
deny its legality. On the Sd day Of December
last the directors levied an assessment Of 10 per
cent on the stock OF the bank, and the plaintiffs
allcge that other assessments will be levied and
payment enforced; that according to their iufor-
nation the bank is insolvent; that at present the
stock will not bring at forced sale over $40 per
share, and praythe court to restrain the bank
from selling stock or acting under the certificate
continuing the bank under the civil coie.

tain of the steamer says he did not regard the

arrival. The Adriatic only lost her anchor

owners Of the ship believe she left Queenstown,
where she touched for orders, December 80, but
the dispatch first reporting her loss says she lett
there January 5. 1fthe dispatch is correct, Of
course 1t could not have been the Hsrvest Queen
which the Adriatic struck. Some OF the AdrI-
atic's crew say they heard cries for "help." but
the captain Of the steamer declares that two
boats were lowered and the Adriatic fingered In
the vicinity for upwards of three hours, but no
one was to be found, the vessel meanwhile having
glided silently into the darkness. One OF the
Adriatic's sailors says he was awakened By
the shock, and he heard o good deal of fault
found with the captain for not lowering the boats
before backing the steamer. He positively de-
nies that the Adriatic has sunk the Harvest
Queen, and brands the entire story an idle
fiction on the part Of the seamen Of the steamer.
