CLOSING THE BREACH.

A Decision That Settles the A. o. u. ".
Dispute In Iowa.
WATERLOO. Iowa, January 5.-Ths
trouble between the Two branches Of the
Ancient order Of the United WoEkmen in
Iowa seems to be ia q fair way TO be
settled.
TIE Supreme Court bal sustained the
position taken b. he original Grand
Lodge, that the order is an insurance
orssn'za.ion. not fsaternal society mere
lY, s-l thrt ttc Supreme Lodge has no
right TO- levy relief assessments upon the
separate beneficiary iu-isd on Of Iowa.
The split in the order In this State grew
out Ci the adoption 0f the relisf law by the
Supreme Lodge in 1880 lows refused 70
pay the relief cell and was suspended and
a new lodge instituted snong the adhe-
rents of the Supreme Lodge. Suit was
begun in lSS3 against the original Grand
LO5ge 90 recover tue lodge seal, property
and name. The trial re5ulted iavOrably
% the Sapr,ms;s, hut this was reversed by
the Supreme Court, and that body sgain
sustained the original Grand Lodge.
10 was STATED last night by one Of the
officers Of the supreme faction that they
would give up and htigte the matter no
further. The Executive Committee OF the
or ginal Grand Lodge seem to favor the
admission OF such members Of the Supreme
f'ction as desire 70 come back, and one Of
the committee says that the Iowa Grand
Ledge would not object 20 the Supreme
Lodge having full control Of the ritualistc
work, but Iowa would not pay any assess
ments to the Supreme Lodge The total
membership Of both branches in Iowa is
about II 600.

WELLsBURG GOSSIP

Special Correspondence Of ne Sunday REGISTER.
WELLBURG, W. VA, January . -
There is a new cup Of woe being prepared
for Meyer, the man who has received his
certificate of election as Assessor Of this
county. By authority of a general act Of
the Legislature of 1877, the boundaries Of
WellsbuIg we're extended go as to include
a considerable extent OF territory at the
northern end Of the town. BY this inCor-
porating measure, about one hundred and
twenty voters were brought within the
limits of the town.
Section of chapter OF the code Of
West Virginia provides that each county
shall be laid of by the County Court into
nagisterial districts. Before any such
action can be taken, notice must be given
in manner prescribed in the came section.
As no such act was ever passed
by the County Court Of this county,
this pait Of the town is not part OF this
magisterial district, and all the votes css,
by residents of this part Of the town are
illegal in that they voted in Wellsborg,
whereas they should have voted in Cross
Creek. Az about eighty Of these voters
are Republicans and about forty OF them
Democrats, there is little doubt Of the cleo
tion OF Rslston as assessor.
A meeting Of leading Democrats was
held on Friday and il was decided to push
the contest. The fight will be made upon
purely legal grounds ~ the provision Of
law has plainly been violated. The limo
cent intention of the voters cannot affect
the requirements Of law. There is little
slse Of interest here Just now. No marri-
ages, no deaths, no elopements or divorce
suits
Rain to-day has thinned ont the usual
Saturday crowd upon the streets. Now
that men can propose 3 crop Of weddings
is anticipated, but so far not realized.

A QUEER BALL.
SOCIAL DISTINCTIONS IGNORED.
A Grand London Ball Where Champagne
Flows Like Water.
CABLE NEWS FROM GERMANY.
The Rorisr Incident--Salsbury Demands an
Official Retracton.

=LoNDoN, January 5.-A very remaika-
BILE ball was given at the Hotel Metropole
last night.
1t was not only remarkable in size and
lavish in expenditure, the cost being
5000 pounds, bat it furthermore pune
tuated strongly the graGull rise Of finance
in England over the old aristocracy.
Il was given by Colonel John T. North,
familisrly known IS the "Niirate King"
Colonel North is a Yorkshire boy who
went out TO South America some twenty
years ago end saw an opportunity. To-
day he is the mcst talked Of man in Egg
land. He il worth from forty to sixty ill-
ions Of dollars, aud lately has been usirg
his knowledge of the stock market to bet
ter the fortunes Of certain well known peo.
people.
Lord Randolph Churchill was the first
to benefit from Col. North's p)Ner, and his
profits are vanously named in tens of
thousands. Lord Randolph arranged a
dinner lately, at which Gel North met the
Prince Of Wales and the result was that
Wales was given 900 shares in late al
lo'ment OF new so k, which row stands
at e7, making e7O. 600 for the heir appar-
ent. AS the Prince has lately been selling
of the live stock at Sandrngham, the
money is perhaps timely. TfeIe c.rcum-
stances, aud the extent TO which various
members OF the aristocracy have profted
lately in stock yenturea, lent unusual in
tsrest 10 the ball.
The Colonel, who.s delight il is to be
lavish, hired everything in the Hotel
MetropOle that was vacant The White
Hall suite Of ball rooms, reception rooms,
&c, was added TO by one hundred bed
rooms for country guests. There were
!, 400 invitations, end 400 guests, rang
ing In the social scale from the old aris-
tocracy 10 popular theatrical people. II
WIS mixed TO the last degree, but, being
fancy dress ball, all social lines were lost.
Lord and Lady Randolph Churchill ruled
the occasion, and Arthur Roberts, a gro
tesque actor OF the Avenue Theatre, made
the fun. The whole fnt floor Cf the
hotel was used, aud the reffeshment rooms
before supper Wed with the grand salon
itself Champagne flowed like fpring
water. All the walters and hotel employees
were in full dres, at Col. NOrth's expense,
and nothing 20 strange in attendance and
lavish outlay has been sea in Lordon
since similer bail given By Lord Roth
child.
II was generally expected that the Prince
of Wales would be there He did not come,
however, aud the general opinion was that
he is unPrateful His sbsence made little
difference in the fan, however, ss the cor
tunes, rooms and accessories simply beg
carded description. Col North was in
Henry III. costume, and took Landy Ran
dOlph Churchill, WHO wore a costume Of
black lece, covered with diamonds, and
blszrg diamond star on her forehead, in to
dilner Lord Randolph took in Mrs.
North, who was in a pompadour costume
which was also magnificent TIE ball
lasted till $50 q. M, and is the talk ofthe
town.

Derelonmrnt. PromIsed

ANN ARBoR, MICH, January g.
President Cotterell, of the Electrical
Sugar Refining Co., was found at the
Arlington this morning. He says the re-
port that he is here to procure the arrest
OF Mrs. Friend is false. He cannot talk
to the press now but promised develop
ments in few days. He denounced the
claim made by Mrs. Friend that the con-
tract with her does not specify raw cane
sugar, bat only cane sugar, as an unmiti-
gated falsehOOd. The process is far too
expensive to place on the market.
There is 10 question he says
but that the product Is finer
than that produced by any known
process aud would sell better than ordin-
airy refined sugar if il could be made from
raw sugar. The deception consists in
manipulation ofrefned sugar instead Of re-
tining sugar by a new process Ga behalf
Of Mn. Friend the claim is made that
Prof Friend invented tWO distinct pro-
cesses, one for making a superior article Of
sugar from refined sugar, and the other for
making i, from grapes. aud that the latter
is worth millions President Cotterell
prouounces this "humbug," but says that
if there is anythin in the grape process
the company is entitled TO IL.
