Before Judge Rogers there was con-
siderable argument over the entrance Of

ment of custodians and managers OF the

tered providing for the sale Of all stock and
fixtures i'm the store on Westminster street
and appointing John NJ. Fournier Of
Central Falls and Alfred >. johnson of
East Providence custcdians of the
property. The decree also provides shat
notice of the sale shall be published

chell and John j. Heffernan of Woon-
socket represented the company and Mr..
st. OnRe.
During the hearing on tho entrance of
the decree Walter H. Barney, who repre-
sented the Rhode Island Hospital Trust
Company, stated that tho institution he
represented held notes amounting to s25
600 on whichAlphonseDes was THO
endorser. Mr.. Barney wished for a third
custodian and stated Deslauriers was
under arrest all day yesterday aud gave
mortgages on his property to secure re-
lease from custody. Mr.. Bassett insisted
on the trust company being made party
to the bill and the court so ordered.
The equity proceedings began by Wal.
ter B Smith stocKholder OF the in
solvent company. was discontinued with
out costs this morning. Mr.. Smith was
dissatisfied with the management Of the
affairs Of the company after the assign
ment and asked for the appointment of
receiver. Steps since taken by other par
ties interested in the company obviated
the necessity OF Mr.. Smith pressing his
suit.

convinced that Morgan and his followers
were free sellers yesterday and that they dis
posed Of all the Reading Northern Pacific and
Southern Railway securities which they could
find a market for. I am further convinced
that this same group Of financiers have prac-
tically agreed that 1t was inexpedient that
the market should go too fast, believing that
its futurs would be jeopardized. / think a
period during which they will settle com
menced yesterday afternoon"

He said this morning: "The temporary re-
actions will only serve to solid f. and chrys-

takaby started and that is now passing its

HIS GRIEVANCE,

Mad sir! Mad! I'm mad clear through!'
 It was evident to the lawyer that he was on the verge of securing a good islander or personal damage suit, and he invited the stranger to be seated.
 "Mad" repeated the stranger. "Im mad enough to eat Bessemer steel; I'm mad enough to put this case through if it costs me all of fifteen dollars"
 q infer," said the lawyer, ''that some one has wronged you"
 "Wronged mel" roared the stranger. "He's made monkey of mel! I tell you, sir, he's made me look like a blooming idiot. He's given the public a wrong impression of my mental strength. and the educational advant tages of my youth, and want to make him sweat for it. "Tell me about it." said the lawyer. land we will see what can be done' Tt all hinges on my middle name" exclaimed the stranger, land that name is tXerxses.' Now, I am not pre- pared to deny that that is more or less of a fool name for any one to carry around at this period of the worlds history, but I can't see that I'm to blame for it.
 Certainly not," asserted the lawyer
 Just because my parents were fool ish enough to give me that kind of a name is no reason why every one meet should think he has a license to have fun with me, and I am entitled to the protection of the law, as I figure it."
 "Most assuredly."
 '"Then it's cinch I'll get big dam ages" said the stranger, with every ey. | idence of satisfaction at the prospect You see, my full name is John Xerxses Jones' but, of course, I don't use the middle name"
 "Of course not.''
