The Council are evidently making
but little progress in the matter of cleo
trio lighting for our village. At
council meeting two weeks ago it was
decided TO visit the town of Paulding
which is now using the Jandis enclosed
arc lamp for street lighting, the same
lamp that was to be used by both par
ties now attempting to secure n con-
tract with our village, but as yet the
proposed visit has not been made and
the JOURNAL has been informed that
there is much doubt If such visit is
eyer made. Just why the matter Is be-
ing delayed ne do not care 10 state, but
it would appear that the prospects for
making a contract with the present
bidders is not encouraging. 1t GER
teinly does not seem necessary to take
so long a time for investigation, and II
the investigation is TO be made at all,
it should be fair and be made as soon as
possible. Perrysburg is still in the
dark.

temporary alarm. Reinforcements of
regular troops continued to arrive all
night. Friday morning all the resident
Spanish merchants in sympathy with
Weyler and opposed to Blanco and home
rule closed their places of business to
enable their employees to swell the ranks
of the mob. Blanco removed Chief of
Police de Castro at noon for lack of en-
ergy in supporting Arolas, and appoint
ed Col. Pagliery to the post. The latter
has since arrested many merchants,
charged with aiding and abetting the
rioters.

Wednesday. Last night the office of Ell
Leon Espanol, which expressed editor

the temperance of both La Discussion
