Weather Notes.

Miserable weather, and impossible
roads in the bottoms, say the river
men who have recently arrived from
our tributaries, The country people
tell US the whole surface of the earth
is saturated and slushy. No body can
get about with any degree of satisfac-
faction, and hauling is impossible.
I'VE think the rain over" said a
weather prophet this morning. Those
who heard him hoped he predicted
correctly. but the probabilities are
that he didn't know.
A quarter Of an inch Of rain fell
here last night and a good deal more
than that yesterday, 1t also rained
last night at Chattanooga, and Orig
zled at New Orleans, Nashville, Louis
vile and other places south.
The wind blew quite fresh from the
northwest early this morning hero
and all over the south, and 1t has
been coming raw and cold from the
northward for several days. 1t will
continue from the same quarter for 9
spell yet.
The signal service bulletins thi.
morning, as telegraphed from the cen.
trail Office at Washington, announces
rain probable to-day nearly all ovel
the country, with northerly winds and
colder weather, The districts to b.
visited by rain are the Tennessee and
Ohio valley, cast and west gulf states
south and middle Atlantic states, the
upper and lower lake region and the
paciSc coss.. In Nav England rair
or snow is threatened. In the lower
Missouri valley cold winds and clear,
ing weather is predicted, and THU
may drive the clouds from over oul
heads between now and tomorrow OF
by the time the new moon appear
Wednesday.

OUT OF FUEL.
RsIding Coal Sheds with ReyOI-
vers In the Northwest,

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, November %
There are prospects ola terrible fuel
famine in the northwest along the
lines Of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul and Chicago & Northwestern
railroads, on account of the cold
weather setting in six weeks earlier
than usual this year aud the continued
freight blockade. All of the railroad
companies are suffering, notably the
st. Paul but the greatest part of
the suffering is experienced by the
people living on the prairies
along the railroads, being almost
deprived, as they are, of the means
Of keeping warm. So great is the suf-
fering along the st. Paul road that at
Britt, Hancock county, Iowa, last
Sunday, City farmers armed with re-
yolvers, made q raid on the coal sheds
at that point aad took possessions of
all the coal. On Monday several
other railroad coal sheds were similar
ly taken possession Of at points along
the road. The people are reported
tearing down fences, out-buildings,
and even stealing the railroad ties Tor
fuel. Owing to the freight blockade
and the scarcity Of cars, the hundred
thousand tons of coal delivered at this
point cannot be delivered tothe suffer
ing people. A terrible state Of Affairs
exists,
COAL FAMINE AT ATLANTA.
ATLANTA, November 25.-There is
every probability that Atlanta, indeed
all Georgia, is to experienced the hard
ships of a coal famine. There is no
coal in Atlanta, and none can be had
to-day for less than fifty cents per
bushel, and the poor are bound to
suffer. The mills have TO pay forty
cents for coal to make steam, which
is soft coal and has always been the
cheapest. Wood is very scarce, but
hundreds are having their CRATES re-
moved from their FIRE places, and will
use wood for fuel hereafter. The
coal dealers say they cannot get cars
to transport their coal from the mines,
and the railroads say they eau, but
that the miners in the GOAL fields have
been on a strike.
