EASTER MoNDAYo BALLS.
Several BucccssfuI Affairs In the City
Last Evening.

Lent over, dances and social festivities
generally, will have full swing until the
warm weather sets in. Wheeling always
observes the closing Of the forty days by
turning out strong on Easter Monday
night. Last night was no exception to the
rule. While not so many balls were given
as in the past, the number thst attended
was fully as large. The weather had been
bad all day, and last night 1t was very dis.
agreeable under foot, but that did not keep
the young folks at home.
THE MAESNERcHoR SINGING SOCIETY
which socially is the most successful ihthe
city, threw open its pleasant hall on
Market street, and very handsomely enter.
tained those that were present. Seyen
members OF the Opera House Orchestra oc.
cupied the stage and furnished splendid
music and plenty Of 1t. Messrs. Louis
Bertschy Charles Meyn and Fred
Fox composed the Committee Of Arrange.
ments appointed for the occasion, and
they understood what was required OF
them. Although fully eighty couples were
present, 30 skillfully did these gentlemen
arrange things that the floor never seemed
crowded. The usual Easter concert was
omitted, for the reason that the club had
not had time TO prepare for it, being
kept too busy rehearsing for the Buffalo
Saengerlest. The ball was such success,
however, that it made up for the loss Of the
concert. The members may well feel
proud over 1t, and the congratulations
fhav rnnaivad from THAR frfabdo Who
were so fortunate as to be guests.
AT TURNER HALL
there was an immense crush. Here the
Garfield Assembly No. 1921, X. OIL. (cigar-
makers) gave a monster ball. 1t was the
largest ever given in the city by any labor
organization. The Committee Of Arrange
ments, distinguished by white badges
and consisting Of Messers. F. Roller,
@. Wassman, Jacob Franz, George Kaiser
and Henry Frohme, did Its part well and
left no room for complaint. The floor
managers were Messrs Louis Knabe, John
Wise, ]. W. Norringon aud VIM. Eek
hart. They wore blue badges, and they
were kind and accommodating. John
Hess was master OF tceremonies,ab assisted
by Henry Frank. Mayer's full orchestra,
eight pieces, made music for the dancers
that would be hard to beat. Heyman fur.
nished the supper. 1t is estimated that
400 people were in the hall at midnight,
and they were still coming, while large
number had gone away. The Assembly
ball will be remembered in the future as
one Of the biggest affairs ever given in
Turner Hall,

Prices of ofOre-AskinE for Orders.
PrrsBuRoH, March 26.-For over three
months the iron ore producers and pro-
prictors OF blast furnaces have been en-
gagged in contest which, although very
casually referred to by the press, has been
more or less tiuged with bitterness. The
subject in dispute Is the price Of ore,
which Is one Of the first items Of expense
In the manufacture Of iron and steel. For
wears the owners Of ore mines have been
able to dictate prices to consumers, and
within the last Ave years have become 50
powerful that unless contracts for . year
were made prior TO January LIST no blast

PERFORMANCE OF the RACES.

II do not think 1t has fact for It's iounda-
tion," replied Bishop Warren. During
the last decade the Southern whites did
not have a fair chance. So many men
were killed during the war, and 80 many
others impoverished by 1t, that by no!
means the usual number OF marriages
took place, and the percentage
Of negro children was naturally
greater than that Of the whites. During
the next decade different state will pre-
vail. A new generation OF white young
men have sprung up. and their circum-
stances are such that they will marry, and
the census OF 1890 will make different
showing than that OF 1880. The percentage
OF mortality among the negroes ia much
larger than among the whites-it was,
think, sixty per cent. larger in 1880. II
this continues 1t will more than counteract
any over.production in the way Of births."
"1s there much mixing Of the races in
the Southern States 2"
Every little," was the sreply. 1.-THE law
prevents their inter-marriage, and the
Supreme Courts have upheld 1t. The PEN
alties are very severe, and the law Ia not
often broken" .a
"Is Methodism increasing throughout
the South ?" asked
eyes, indeed" replied the Bishop.
christianity is advancing rapily in all the,
Souther States. The Methodist Episcopal
Church has 10000 members among the,
Southern freedmen, and also q member
ship OF 1000 whites. There Is a colored
church in Charleston, South Carolina,
which has 1000 members, and one herein
Washington which has 1900. The white
church here has as many. The Charleston
church has white preacher, and never
employs any other kind. The negroes
make good church members, often better
than the whites. OF two churches in the
same district in Georgia, one Of white and
the other colored, the colored give twice as
much as the whites TO the church and pay
their minister three times as large q salary.

Dothe puddlers really expect to be paid
the same wages after the first Of June as
they now receiver asked the reporter
changing the subject.
"Why, certainly. We are not going to
ask for an increase, but we don't see any
reason why the manufacturers should pro.
pose reduction. The new mill at Nc.
KEGS Rocks, which has been idle, is to
start up double turn, making muck bar for
Jones & Laughlin. Browns mill, at New
Castle, which has been idle, Is also TO com.
mence the manufacture oil muck bar for
Oliver Bros. & Phillips and Kloman's mill
has been working for the same firm for
some time. This muck bar Is not being
manufactured for stock, but Is be-
ing used to fill orders. This proves that
while the price Of iron is low trade Ia brisk
and no person can knock into my head the
necessity for reducing wages"
These statements werere repeated to several
persons in position TO know something
about them. Only that portion relating to
the reorganization OF the Sons OF Vulcan
was mentioned to Secretary Martin, Of the
Amalgamated Association. He became
quite sharp, and stated very positively that
he did not believe there was word Of
truth in the statement; also that he believed
il had been concocted out of the whole
cloth by the reporter.
