A Coal Famine.

HARRIsBURG, March 16.-Not in
many wears has there been as much
embarrassment felt in all the lines
OF iron manufacturing as that now
experienced in Harrisburg and the
towns adjacent, caused by limited
supply. and in some cases an entire
cut off In the receipt of bituminous
coal. Among Harrisburg manufac-
lures, who receive their coal supply
from the Huntington and Clearfield
bituminous regions, the lack of full
quantities has compelled the most
rigid economy in the use of what
they have on hand. Among all the
works there is fear of a prospective
famine. il not an actual want of sup
ply sufficient to run their establish
ments at their full capacity. There
is no borrowing and no lending
of coal among any of the pudding
and plate works of the city or sub
urbs, and it is difficult to tell what
will be the disastrous result on
workingmen and the supply ofpress-
ing orders if coal continues to fall
short

II. Deveraux, who was buried Sun

so a Vanderbilt man. Among the
trustees of this road are two factions,

next election for trustees will he

something extraordinary happens,
Mr.. Mark Watson will be the candl-
date for the vacant trusteeship on
the Hoste,ter side and Mr.. John
Newell's name will be presented by
the Vanderbilt faction.
A we'll known railroad official was
asked to-day what the elect would
be should the Hostetter faction gain
control of the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie. In answer he said 81 hard
ly know. The mere possibility of
such an event viii give the South
Penn a hoom right now. The Hos
tet;er faction gaining control Of the
road would help the South Penn
very much. There ia little doubt
that the traffic agreement entered
into December II, 1882, between the
South Penn and various other roads
could be enforced, but the Lake
Erie could virtually escape it by
obstacles in the way. With DR..
Hostetter in charge there would be
no doubt about the position of the
Lake Erie. / would not be surpris-

other way of escape from the Penn
