THE BALL.
Grand AssembIage at the Capitol
Last Night.

Grand Assemblage at the Capitol
Last Night.
The bali given by the Knights of
Pythias last night was a grand social sue
cess. The elegant Assembly Chamber in
the State Capitol was brilliantly illumi-
mated, and there were over thousand
guests in attendance, either ENJOYING
themselves in a merry whirl on the can
vassed floor or listening to charming
concert music rendered by Noacks full
orchestra, which occupied a tastefully
decorated stand in front Of the Speakers
desk. The affair was managed excel
lently.
At 8 o'clock the uniformed knights
with their ladies' gathered in the rotunda
near the library and formed for the grand
march. Major $. Katzenstein lead the
procession as it proceeded into the ball
room, and the other knights with
their partners followed in the
order of their rank. Those not in
uniform formed in the rear of the line.
The grand march was well planned, and
quite a gorgeous spectacle. To the fol-
lowing committees is due the success of
the ball:

ANOTHER " REFORM SUIT.
This Time the Poicemen's Salaries
are Attacked.
The Special Tax Declared to be Not
Collectable-A TechnicalIty in
the Extra Clerk Suit.

1t became noised about the Courthouse
yesterday that new suit is about to be
commenced by the same reformers who
recently brought suit to cut off the extra
clerk list maintained by several of the
county officers.
POLICEMEN'S SALARIES.
This time, it is said, the reform cudgel
is to be aimed at the special tax voted for
recently by majority Of the citizens of
Sacramento, to pay the salaries of the
extra policemen who served two years
ago, and who were never paid, because
they were illegally appointed.
AS in the clerk suit, +. a. Burr will
pose as plaintiff on behalf of the re-
formers, and it is understood that Chaun-
cey II. Dunn will file the papers. The
suit, il is said, will be in the nature of a
WRIT OF REVIEW,
And viii undertake to put in issue the
authority of the Trustees to order an
election as they did. In fact. the writ of
review viii bring up the whole question
of jurisdiction, and will cover the pro-
ceedings from the issuing of the election
proclamation by the city, up to the can
vass Of the votes and the final order for
the special tax. The papers in the suit
will probably be filed to-day or to-mor-
row--and yet they may be held off for a
couple of weeks, after the announcement,
as was done in the case of the clerk suit.
THE OTHER SUIT.
Clinton L. White, who represents Burr
and the refOrmers i'll the suit to GUST
the extra clerks employed by the order
of the Board of Supervisors, by the Aud
itor, Sheriff, Assessor and County Clerk,
filed affidavits with County Clerk
Rhoads, yesterday, showing that sum
mons have been duly served in the cases;
that the time allowed by the defendants
in which to plead had expired; that the
time for such pleading has not been ex-
tended, and demanding that default be
entered in the cases named.
The defendant, however, deny this and
state that their attorneys did secure an
extension Of time. The matter will come
up for hearing shortly in court.

While little has been said lately about
the swimming baths the directors of the
association have been hard at work get
ting its affairs in shape, and there is every
prospect that the site will be decided
upon and work commenced on the build
ing within a very short time. Many

come, and the directors at last see their
way clear to the erection of swimming
baths which viii be credit to the CITY.
y large majority of the stock holders
have signed the constitution and bylaws.
The certificates of stock have been
printed and are being delivered to sub
scribers. Among the first to receive and
receipt for his certificate was Coils p,

that they will still join in the beneficent
work
