drivers with tipcarts, also about 20 labor

The cause Is for the reason that there Is
no money to carry on the appropriation
with, and consequently the work will
stop until the money is forthcoming. The
is all right, sufficient
sum In the air, but the difficulty just at
the present is for Town Treasurer Moies
to get the money by hiring II to carry out
the vote OF the taxpayers. The money
market Is now close and IL Is no easy mat
ter to secure the sum of s25,0O0 as was
given the power by the Town Council at
their meeting to the town treasurer. As
soon as the money can be obtained work
Will be resumed. Highway Surveyor
Fairbanks said this morning that II was
simply on account of the stringency of
the money market, and that he did not
have an idea that the lull would be long
one. The only big job left uncompleted
Is the Rand street job, which will receive
the first attention at the beginning of the
work. There are now but few men aud
carts at work, finishing up small Jobs
where 1t Is necessary. These men will then
be retired, and but four or five men will
be retained until the trouble is tided over
In case Of an emergency. This trouble
has thrown many laborers out of work;
and business In all parts of the town In
nearly every branch Is exceedingly quiet.
Reception to the Ex.Prcmier.
Plans are perfected for the reception
this evening OF Hon. Honore Mercier by
the French residents. The executive
committee with guests Will hold a recep-
tion at the Benedict House previous to
the mass meeting at Music Hall. At the
close OF the latter, the guests and COM
mittee with the ex-premeir will repair to
the st. Jean Baptiste Hall, this village,
when another grand reception will be
held.
He shod the Horse.
In wellknown blacksmith shop about
8 o'clock yesterday afternoon there en-
tered peculiar looking specimen of
humanity and equally as queer horse.
The man wanted the horse shod and de-
manded the work done In such an
ungentlemanly manner that the proprie-
tor declined to do the job. Finally a
compromise was made, the stranger apol-
ogized and the shoer went to work. The
man paid the bill, then said he would re-
turn In a short time. At 10 o'clock last
evening the horse was seen hitched to the
blacksmith's building awaiting the ar
rival of the owner.

Mrs. Sarah Durfee, who has one OF the
