By way of explanation we desire
to state that the city council has
purchased the arches and lights
used during THE carnival week.
That accounts for the large sum OF
money paid for the arches. Here.
after when we have use for arches
all we will have to pay for them
will be the cost of the electricity
used.

The mob fired upon the civil guard, who were tempo rarily driven back, but who returned the fire of the rioters and scattered their assailants. The mob afterward attacked the house of the mayor and other dwellings before it was finally dispersed. A battalion of infantry and a squadron of cavalry have arrived here from San Roque.

FARMERS MAKING MONEY.
Disposing of Their Wood at Good
 Round Figures.

The farmers Of Waterbury and nearby towns are in their glory these times and if the coal strike continues a few weeks longer they will have enough out of wood to give them a pig lift One of them told reporter to-day that there is no reason why the price of wood should be high There is an abundance of it, he said. in the farming districts of the town, and it would be a Godsend to the owners to get an opportunity to dispose of it at fair price. He thought every far mer ought to be willing to sell for what it will bring. But it seems this is not so. Some of them have already shown disposition to play the part of the coal barons and think nothing of asking twice as much for a cord of wood now than it could be had for Ia st year. If the people cannot get coal and the farmers insist upon unreason able prices for wood, the consumers may find themselves engaged in 2 friendly bout with the gentlemen from the rural districts before the winter is over, for the people will be obliged to burn something and if the people can not get fuel at a reasonable figure they won't be apt, to perish while it is in sight. But if the factories help out by selling small lots of coal to the hands, there is not much danger of any real hardship and after the tiIIers of the soil find out this they will be glad to take what they can get, Any way, the farmers are happy, as any body can see by the broad smiles they wear as they drive about seated on their wagon loads of big sticks. Old fellows who usually wore woe-begone countenances and went along with bowed heads have suddenly. straight ened up and look as if the world was moving smoothly with them.
