rioushas the matter become along the line
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad that
Capt. DeVrles tells us the Company will be
obliged tocommencc hauling waterto their
tanks thisweek unless they get a rain in the
next day or two. Nearly all the ttains on
tho Pennsylyania road arc running behind
time for lack Of water supply. The p,
W. & Ky. trains rarely reach the city these
days on time. The situation Is full OF
jeopardy and anxiety for all sorts OF pub.
lie and private interests. The people
down the river are threatened with coal
famine. The cold snap has filled them
with alarm for fear Of freeze. The fact
that Inc creeks were covered with ice last
Saturday morning Is calculated to alarm all
who are unprovided for winter. 1t would bo
a acalamity Of great magnitude to have the
Ohio river freeze over and cut of sup.
ply Of coal to the people below.s 1t would
almost paralyze and reverse the business
hoom now in progress. The state Of tho
f,Sfr very seriously affects both Wheeling |
and NSasS6h in the matter Of supply Of
ore. 1t also aHestss them in The way of
non.abilIty to ship nails s sAapy points

Of nails to go by water as soon as there is a
rise, us well as any quantity of other mer-
chandise. All these shipments are effec-
tually blocked for the lack Of water. Rain,
therefore, Is the great necessity of the
country at this time.
