ORDER OF CHOSEN FRIENDS.
Receiver Has Demanded All Money
 Now in TreaSurieS.

NO" III l IItstSuIlOS-
 Good Cheer and Rainbow councils, Order of Chosen Friends, held a meet ing last night in Johnson hall and listened 10 the report of Frank Judd. who had been in New Haven and New York, looking into the present status of the order. The gist of Mir Judd's report was that the order might right fully be termed a thing of the past. It has gone down without any hope fd. it's resurrection. It was stated that the conduct of Supreme Secretary Linn looked like treachery upon his part. While connected in the Chosen Friends he is said to have organized an order known as the National Fra ternal association. With headquarters at Indianapolis. Ind, and as soon as he had this one in running shape he ap- piled for q receiver for the Chosen Friends and sent out circulars to the several councils requesting them to join tie National Eraternal asSocia- tion-
 Mir Judd had a long conference with Supreme Councillor Morse of New York. who thinks he sees q way out, of the dilemma. and his plan for T new organization will, be discussed Ut a meeting to be held in New Haven to- morrow night. It is thought that if the councils. as at present constituted. stand together. they will be able to muster up sufficient strength to save the greater portion of their insurance, but if they go different ways what they have paid into the Chosen Friends will be a total loss. - Mr Judd will represent the local councils at the session ill New Ha-s ven. Good Cheer and Rainbow coun- cls think well of the proposition and in all probability they wilt go into the new body.
 Another chapter in the history of the affair is the demand made upon the councils by the receiver for all
 the money in the treaSurieS. which ia not likely to be complied with in T | hurry. There may be q tuSsle between 1 the receiver and the councils over the | funds on deposit in the banks in Wa 1 terbury and all over the state. for
 the banking houses have been notified
 not to pay to anyone except to the order of the receiver and the upShot l of this will be that they will hold | the dust until they know where they 1 are at.

 init report regarding the action taken l at the conference in New Haven. 1 Indianapolis, Ind. Dec 19.-State l Auditor Hart is not in entire sym | pathy with the movement to establish
