THE COSTA RIGA EARTHQUAKE.

PANAMA, Feb. 1G:-Details of the
recent earthquake at Costa Rica, pub
lished in Costa Rica papers which
have reached here corroborate the re-
ports sent out in the associated press
dispatches briefly several weeks ago.
The city Of San Jose and other cities
were terribly damaged: Whole streets
are blocked with ruins, railroads
blockaded, churches closed, etc. For
weeks people living in the cities
camped in the streets aud public
squares, fearing to enter the shattered
houses on account of the constantly
occurring shocks. The monetary
loss in the city OF San jose alone was
over $2,000,0QU. The loss of life has
not yet been accurately estimated,
but 1t is believed to have been great.
At Eagnna an extraordinary geo
logical phenomenon took place, the
earth assuming the appearance Of II,
rough sea. The father Of family
and four children were buried alive.
while the mother aud oae child were,
thrown a distanc- of l,00J meter 5.

The ECL1PsE-On Tuesday afternoon,
Jan. l, the people of the northwestern
part of the United States had an excel
lent opportunity to view an almost total
eclipse of the sun. The eclipse began
at In. Amin. p. M, at point in the Pa
cifc ocean about $500 miles west of San
Diego, Cal, and about $500 miles west
of Vancouver's Island it began to be to-
tai. The path Of the total eclipse was
about sixty miles wide, and met the
western coast of the United States few
miles north from San Francisco, at
about Oh. 20min., p. m. From this
point its path ran through the country
in nearly northeasterly direction, and
terminated in Canada near the eastern
border of Lake Winnipeg, at 4h. 10min.
D. m. The day was clear one and our
citizens, armed with pieces OF smoked
glass, gazed heavenward, at intervals,
until it disappeared.

AT THE BALL MAsoUE.-Were you
there? No? Then you missed the event OF
the season. Reaney's hall was crowded,
even to the gallery. The merry maskers
had the floor to themselves except the
rear portion of the hall, which was re-
served for spectators. Many were the
surmises as to who was who, and many
declared they recognized friends only to
find they were "away of" when the time
for unmasking arrived. 1t was almost
impossible for the HERALD representative
to secure complete list of all the char
acters and the names of those represent
ing them, but prominent among them
was Mrs. Buchanan, whose dress was
made of HERALDs, the paper she charac-
terized and which deserves special men
ton, as it was not only becoming, but
unique in design. J. G. Fullerton dis
guised as dude coon; Thos. Allphin
was Respondent and attractive as Robin
Hood; night with her sable robes and
twinkling stars was well portrayed by
Mrs. Gender. Uucle Sam Henry
Trobe), carried himself with dignity,
while Hill Norton, the highlander, sigh
ed in vain for the lass of his country and
the bagpipe that every Scotchman loves.
Fireman E. Hall was on deck and Police
man Kirkwood manfully did his duty
and caused much merriment, by running
the clowns and small boys into the cool
er. 1t was impossible to recognize jolly
Mark True in the garb of priest, and
Mrs. Orville Stewart, as a gushing
schoolgirl was equally deceptive Mrs.
Newton was charming as an Indian
princess, and Miss Crockett as Folly, made
merry music with the numerous little
bells that adorned her costume; Miss
Lewis as Topsy, danced with Glenn Lloyd
as Uncle Tom; Mother Goose and Eclipse
(Rose Tewalt, of Colton), were both
novel in design; George Bremen sus-
tanned well his character of Cowboy; H.
Anderson as an humble peasant kept
company with Turk; the twin sisters
we're Ruth Averill and Mrs. Leslie. Stew
art and Newton made good jockeys, and
VIM. Chambers was IN full dress; Miss
Duncan queened it as belle OF the
Ball." Ed Butcher, and E. NJ. Leslie,
portrayed the Siamese twins. Chas.
Odds, Dave Clark, Justin Baird, Henry
Grostein, Frank James, R. J. Skate and
Joe Ruggles all represented clowns.
There were several whose names we were
unable to get. Dancing was INDUCED
in till four o'clock a. m.

MISSOURI LoDGE.-This is the name
DIR. Webb has given his new residence.
1t is situated on the heights west of
town and has, probably, the most desir-
able location to be fonnd in Pullman.
1t faces the east and looking down
Main-st broad view of the business
portion of town is obtained. The design
is plain but roomy, with two bay windows
and two verandas to give neat finish to
the front. On the first floor are double
parlors, a sitting room, kitchen etc, with
dining-room in the center, all finished in
Oregon cedar, grained, and the walls
plastered and papered. The second story
is composed of sleeping apartments,
closets, and a fine library and billiard
hall, the latter directly over the dining
room. These rooms are finished similar
to the ones below. Rich walnut furni-
ture and soft brussels carpet, adorn the
doctors home. The foundation of the
house is of granite and the cellar made
of brick. When the doctor gets those
moon-fowers to growing, and the
grounds laid off in terraces, the place
will be ga thing of beauty and JOY
forever"

Harry Reese spent the holidays
with his family, in Portland.

Some of our go-to-bed-early citizens
were aroused from their midnight dreams
on Monday last, by loud something, a
report that sounded like an explosion.
This terrific noise, combined with a
shake of equal magnitude, caused Capt.
Phillips to calculate, "wha-what in
thunder is that" Another "boom" and
we all knew that the old year had expir-
ed; been laid away on memory's shelf;
and new year, in infant purity and
bright with promise, unto us was born.
The anvil was kept in active use for
some time, and at daybreak the small
boy with fre-crackers was on deck.
Calls were the order of the day and the
HERALD received its quota.

modations for the night. Looking over

friend was SO great that he at once pro
posed to keep him company. Upon be-
ing informed that he already had room
mate, he insisted that it made no differ

informant suggested that possibly his
wife might object. "His wife!" ex-

And then he caught on" and concluded
he wouldn't disturb Mr.. Clyde, who
doubtless, was already sleeping the SLEEP

The friends and acquaintance OF G..
o. Morrell, one of our prosperous farm
ers, were surprised and shocked to learn
that he had become temporarily de-
ranged, caused from religious excitement.
He became unmanageable and it was
deemed expedient to remove him to the
Steilacoom asylum, where, with proper
medical treatment he will soon return to
us again sound in mind and body.
Meantime the community extends its
sympathy to his relatives in this trying
hour. Mr.. NJ. is one Of our worthiest
citizens.
1t may be of interest to our readers
to know that the original rooster, the
one that came to this country in the
Nav Flower, is now alive and in Pull
man. That this is fact, is proven by
his habit of Growing at IL o'clock every
night, having been unable to keep track
of the difference in time between his
native and adopted country while cross
ing the ocean, consequently, now crows
at the time to which he was accustomed
in his youth. We hope that he will soon
grace the table of one of our delinquent
subscribers, (if we ever have one) that
we may sleep in peace.

oh, but its gorgeous, this mail serv-
ice of ours nowadays. Here is another
specimen, from the Lewiston Teller:
"We have not received a mail from Col
fax for several days, nor do we get mail
from Spokane Falls. We are told that
the mail has been discontinued between
Colfax and lewiston; also, that all mail
matter reaching Genesee by rail there
stops, and that no mail matter is now
carried between Moscow and Lewiston.
The Colfax, Moscow and Genesee papers
do not reach us. This is great de-
privation to many. We hope this defect
in mail service will soon be remedied.
