BRU ssEIs, April 13.-Three hundred
miners engaged in the strike at Quareg-

mouth Of pit and smashed every window
In them. The men working in the pit,
who had refused to join the strikers, were
next the object Of the mob's wrath. Stones,
timbers, dirt and rubbish of every sort
were thrown into the shaft, the intention
of the strikers being to imprison the men
In the mine. The rioters were about to
attack another pit when the gen darmes
arrived and finally drove the mob away
Further trouble is apprehended, as great
activity Is shown among the labor leaders

PREPARING FOR SPRING.
PROVIDENCE GETTING READY FOR
WARM WEATHER..
Boatman, Truckman, Oysterman and
Tramp All in Line-The Dog g-catcher is
Waiting SO Is the Spring Suit.

Everybody is now awaiting with ILL
concealed impatience the advent OF the
long-delayed spring. A few balmy days
during the past week have raised the
hopes and stirred the imagination of the
people wearied by oug-drawn-
out winter. but nobody yet
dares to say that spring Is
actually here. The burly policeman is
prominent among those who are await
ing the soft verra al air and mellow sun
SHINE that should have been here two
weeks ago. The "copper's" lif. is far
from pleasant when the raw winds of
winter sweep down with relentless fury
upon his beat.
The hot-lunch man sees i'm the aproac h.
ing days OF spring a maj erial increase in
his nightly receipts and he, too, Is happy
and full of hope.
Tie truckman is happy, too, for he al
ready anticipates surcease OF those
trials that come 10 the open air laborer
when spring puts In her appearance. The
knight of the pick and shovel beaves a
sigh OF relief, Tor now he can Law aside
his heevy and cumbersome outer gar
ments nd swing the instruments of his
craft unimpeded.
The most JOYFUL man OF all is he who
owns steamboat line or even a small
pleasure boat. He is now richer in imag-
ination than all the Vauderbilts for he
knows that before long all Rhode Isla nd
will set its face seaward. A land lubber
will be before long thing OF reproach
and ave. sion. Providence takes to the
water AS naturally as a duck when the
boating season opens. Hence the
capacious smile on the face of the boat
man.
Another much reviled individual is
smiling now, as he thinks of the rich
harvest OF scalps that will adorn his girdle
when the summer season opens He IL
the dog g-catcher. His mind is filed with
visions OF stray CANNES who will be
decoyed from their hidden retreats
by the warm sunshine and will
fall into his capacious bag as a
reward COR their temerity. The clam.
gatherer smiles, too, N broad significant
smile that tells OF hungry picnickers a Id
biz catches OF the grisly pa ulun.
One character In the spring drama
stands out head aud shoulders above ali
other attractions, the mild but persistent
tramp. One tramp always snake, n
spring, for, unlike the swallow, he never
makes mistake In prophes, ipp
the season. His uel cate ssnsi,
blities are never deceived by the
delusive signs that precede the 6reaN-
ing mp OF winter. He does not yeature
North until the permanence OF war m
weather is assured beyond all per adyeu-
ture. When he arrives. winter clotn-
ing may be lad aside with Impunity.
He Is worth adozen signal services as n
prophet Of spring. His genus mas ne yer
been sung In inspired meter, but hc ar
rlves at destination just the same.
