A family on Belmont street has beei
looking for a young man a relative o
theirs from Gloucester, ever since las
Saturday, and they owe his disappear
ance to postal card
The young mans name is Snow and N
recently married into the family, and n
wrote his Belmont street relatives a da!
or so before Easter Sunday from Glouoes
ter that he was going TO call upon then
and that he would bring with him sever
al dozen eggs, a home cured ham, anC
quite sum of money. the cash was
from the settlement OF an insurance com
pany. one OF the Gloucester relatives hav.
ing passed away.
The Belmont street folks had never
seen their new relatives nor had the new
relatives ever seen the Belmont street
folks. SO he told them in the postal
card that he would arrive I'm the city
from Gloucester, on such train and SO
as TO make II easy for them 10 find him
among the many, he would wear a red
flannel shirt.
Under ordinary circumstances the Bel
mont street folks would not care 90 en-
tertain any one at their home on Easter
Sunday. who wore red shirt but as the
fellow with the red shirt was to bring
their eggs, ham. and cash. did not take
the matter so much To heart.
The Belmont street folks went TO the
depot at the appointed hour. and were
somewhat surprised to find that not less
than four men got off the same train
wearing red shirts, but saw none that
had any parcels that looked like eggs,
or ham. and II is now believed that some
one other than the Belmont street folks
met Mr.. Snow at the depot and led him
astray. for word has been received from
Ks a Quf hnt h.,
returned home.
There In. however. a package at the
Union station from Gloucester that looks
as IL IL might contain eggs and ham.
A HUGE SUCCESS
The Peauot club. the Oldest and most
popular club I'm this vicinity and upon
whose roster can he found the names OF
many, who have and do figure IN the
welfare OF Olneyville. held its 32d annual
ball In Irons hall last evening. For more
than quarter of a century the Pechict
social and athletic club has held bail
in Irons hall on Easter Monday evening
and IL all goes well will hold one next
year for the hall has been enjoyed by
them for that date.
There was present last evening about
LIS couples and many OF these were .old
timers who had given up dancing. but
could not keep away from this event and
tions from Boston and New York and
special attention was given them.
In the good old days this club had the
best library In this vicinity and It's mem
bers were devoted TO books and athletics
OF the proper sort. but OF late years, the
rooms have not been so largely attend
Cd as of yore, but the members are ever
loyal. as was demonstrated last evening.
The grand march was led by Mr. and
Mrs. James Hughes and some OF the evo-
lutions were novel and pleasing TO the
eye
The program contained "a numbers and
these were quite sufficient to keep the
most ardent lover OF dancing I'm the hall
