What Cheer hall on Monday evening
was a pleasant and interesting affair
The members of the class and friends
assembled in goodly numbers in the
pretty hall and the Savoy orchestra
furnished splendid music for the hap
py dancers. All the arrangements for
the enjoyment of the guests were per-
feet and there was but one verdict from
all who had the r I'D fortune to attend
and that was that the pupils OF Mr..
Mcdonald understood perfectly the rare
art OF being good entertainers. The
program included the choicest and lat
est OF fancy dances and there was a
very pleasing proficiency shown by pu-
pills in the different dances. Mr.. +.
Leo Mulholland was floor director, Ed
ward Murphy assistant and the aids
were Vincent l.. Mccain. James a. AL

In 1890 the complainant moved from
Pawtu'ket into this city and he asked
for statement from the bank, WI N
he got. The bill says this statement
was not satisfactory, so another was
asked for, in which the complainant
says he discovered a mistake OF $4,000,
alleged TO be caused by "a failure TO
give him credit for notes where a ne "
There ssalso a claim of a mistake In
another OF the complainant's account of
$4,000. This Indebtedness Is on a note
that MIR. Dispean says he did not sign
so far as he can recollect and there was
no good reason for his signing such a
note. The bank sued Mr.. Dispeau on
these notes. Mr. Dispeau I'm his bill
says he offered TO give the bank a
mortgage on all his property il IL fur

says he paid no more attention TO the
suit but the bank pressed II TO judg-

worried and distressed by the death Of
his brother. Joseph

he was told by Olney Arnold, agent of
the bank. he must sign them or COM
plainant's stock held by the bank az
collateral security and his real estate
would be levied on under the execution
above mentioned and he thereupon sign
ed the paper required.
II is claimed that the complainant
protested before the signing OF the pa
pers that the account furnished by Ar
mold was incorrect, but he was coerced
into signing them.
Mr. Dispeau wishes the court now 70
set aside all these notes and mortgages
and declare. void a Judgment for $24,O

also asks that he may be permitted to
