X. OF p BALL.-The grand event of the
holiday season in Vancouver was the ball
given on New Years Eve by the Knights Of
Pythias. Marsh's Hall was beautifully dec.
grated with flags, evergreens, birds in cages.
and appropriate designs of the order Over
10 couples were in attendance to participate
in the dance and supper, and they all had
very pleasant time. We hear nothing but
praise of it, and the Knights of Vancouver
are to be congratulated on their success.
Prof Hubner furnished the music, which
was all that could be desired. One of the
good features of the entertainment was the
supper, furnished by Springer L Wentworth.
OF this it is not necessary to mention more
than the bill of fare, which was as follows:
Soup-oyster.
Roasts chicken. duck.
Oysters aloped. paddles.
Entrees-lobster salad, chicken salad, let.
tuce Said.
Cold meats-ham, tongue. corned beef
Dessert floating island lemon custard,
jellies. tarts, cakes, maccaroons, lady fingers,
German cream pie mnce aud apple pie.
Fruits-oranges and apples.
Tea and coffee.
Ice cream
The attendants did full justice to the
viands set forth, and the ball is set down as
one OF the finest social and financial success.

MASTERS.-Died, in this city, on the 18th
day of February, 1884, JOSEPH DEMILT, sec
ond son of Paul +. and Julia NJ. Masters, in
the 10Th year of his age. The circumstances,
and sudden manner by which he came to his

remarkable how soon an acquaintance ripen-

looked up to him. and whenever the smaller
ones became involved, Clarence" was the
first to the rescue, and he always proved true
to his friendship; indeed, it was this very
protection he was endeavoring to afford that

may send that consolation and peace which
emanates from him alone. L. b. NJ.

FELL ON A TREsTLE.

Narrow Escape of the Captain of the
German Bark Herman Behrent"
from a Fatal Accident.
About 10 O'Clock last night as Capt
Dillwitz, of the German bark Herman
Behrent, lying in the dock on the eleva-
tor side of the Ocean Steamship slip, was
returning to his vessel from the city, his
foot struck the combing at the edge of the
railroad track leading to the elevator and
he fell forward on the trestle, which
is somewhat below the level
of the platform. He fell quite a dis
tanee, and it was miraculous
that he did not fall into the water. AS it
was, he fell across a cross piece and his
cries attracted the attention of one of the
Ocean Steamship Company's policemen,
who came to his rescue. He was taken
on board his vessel and DR.. Stone was
called. On examination, it was found
that his side and one of the floating ribs
was injured, the muscles being very
much strained, but no bones broken. The
doctor arranged him comfortably, and,
although sOrely hurt, he is doing as we'll
as could be expected. The Captains
escape from death was narrow. He is a
neavy man, and it is a wonder the fall did
not kill him, or that he did not 90 through
the trestle into the water and drown.

CUTTING THE RATES.

The Slash by the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginIa aud GeorGia-No Fears for the
Fool.
The announcement in yesterdays dis
patches to the MORNING NEWS that the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad had made a second cut of nearly
60 per cent. from the regular rates from
New York to Chattanooga caused some
excitement. The belief, however, pre-
walls among railroad men that it is tenn
porary break and the regular rates will
be restored in a few days.
A MORNING NEWS reporter made in
quiry among the Central officials and
found that there was no anxiety concern
ing the reduction. The first cause of the
cut is not satisfactorily explained. 1t is
understood by some that the Merchants
Dispatch, "a transportation company carry
Ing freight over a system of roads,
was compelled TO reduce its rates by
the reduction of the Chesapeake and
Ohio and the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia, and thus started the ball.
1t has been stated that it will result in
the breaking of the southern pool, but no
fears of that result are entertained here.

THE COURT HOUSE.

A Plan to Remodel and Enlarge 1t.
The necessity OF enlarging the Court
House, or building another has been ad-
mitted for years, but no acceptable plan
has been suggested for doing either. 1t
claimed that the county is not financially
able to erect new building,
and the idea of charging the present
edifce by addition on the eastern
end, the vacant part of the block has been
opposed on the ground that it would not
conform to the plan Ofthe building, and not
Judge W. d. Harden, of the City Court,
has conceived a plan. which he has put
upon paper, of building an addition to
both the eastern and western ends of the
present building, by which four additional
rooms will be secured on the first
story, and three to four additional rooms
added TO each end Of the upper or court
rooms floor. The plan also includes a
clock tower with an electric clock, which
will have IN addition to its outside dials
one in each court room. Judge Harden's
plan appears to be very feasible. 1t will
secure a handsome and cOmmOdious
building at a moderate cost. 1t is the
Judges intention to have the plans pre-
pared in detail by an experienced architect
if his rough sketch meets with the favor
able consideration of the grand juries and
the County Commissioners. Quite num-
Der of citizens have examined the draw
il, %, and all of them speak faVOrably of
the nr.@iect. The cost of the improvement
is estIIna.e ed at $4,000, which is one
third the amO2nt which would be required
to nut up a new building,
