THE COAL FAMINE.
Knoxville In a Much More DeplOr.
able Condition than AsheViIIe.

able Condition than ASheViIIe.
The following from the Knoxville Jour
nal of the 9th shows that coal is as
scarce there as here; and a letter ad-
dressed by manager Z. E. McCroskey of
the several coal companies to Maj H. c.
Hudson, general manager OF the E. T.,
Va. and Ga. railroad seems to fix the
responsibility on this latter official. Mr.
McCroskey says his company is prepared
to deliver one hundred car loads daily.
He shows how many cars he has loaded,
being all that have been furnished, deny
ing by facts and figures statements made
by Maj. Hudson, that certain number
OF cars had been provided. The latter
says 5S4 cars had been loaded during
October. The other says only 267 were
shipped during that month, of which 1856
were for factories and III for domestic
use. The coal companies had only three
full days work out of seventeen in load
ing the cars that were provided. This is
interesting reading to those who have
been made dependent on regular supplies
of coal.
The Journal says: THE anxiety about
Knoxville's coal supply continues. The
firm that has the contract for supplying
the Girls high school building with fuel,
was out of coal yesterday, and unless a
raise is made by to-day tomorrow morn
ing the girls will be without fuel
The supply at every one of the coal
yards yesterday was short. Recently
the coal dealers of the city went into an
agreement that coal would be sold to no
one without the cash accompanying the
order. A gentlemen told us that he had
left his money with one of the dealers for
a ton of coal, and after having waited
several days for the order to be filled.
called to sec about it. His money was
refunded with the information that the
company had no coal, and couldn't fill
the order. The gentleman was out of
coal.
Our information is that cars can be
had for the shipment OF the products OF
only about two days and a half in the
week, which is hardship to the miners
as well as the consumers. As matters
now stand, there is great danger of a
coal famine when cold weather sets in,
and if no prospects of relief is presented
it might be well to lay i'll supply of
wood for fuel

RANDOM NOTES
ROped In by Rambling Reporters
Roaming Round the city.

| A colored man by the name of Burton
lost $4S.2 20 i'll "The Acre" on Saturday
night; the amount being stolen from his
person while he was asleep. He had but
recently reached the city from Knoxville
The marked improvements being made
by Dr. T. J. Hargan on the Oak Street
Inn are progressing rapidly, and when
completed, will constitute it one of the
most attractive of the many striking
buildings of our city.
1t will be gratifying to his friends to
learn that Mr.. A. L. Melton, who fell
from the scafold on Saturday, is getting
along exceeding well. A severe sprain
and confusion Of the elbow, will disable
him from his ordinary avocations for
several days, but fortunately no internal
or dangerous injuries were sustained.
c. B. Davis, the popular young auc-
tioneer at the Banner warehouse, has
been requested by the managers to at
tend the Tobacco Fair at Petersburg,
Va, on November 10, 20 and 21st, and
assist in crying the tobacco sales. This
is certainly a compliment, but not beyond
the deserts of the reel pient.
The Banner warehouse yesterday sold
thirteen thousand pounds of tobacco at
an average of SIG for everything on the
floor, which was certainly fine sale for
this early date i'll the season. There was
also large sale at the Farmers ware
house, and a small one at the Buncombe,
but we have no figures from them,
though the Farmers promised to furnish
them
Yesterday we noticed upon the floor of
the Farmers warehouse a white-haired,
keen-eyed little man, and upon inquiry we
found it was Larkin Dockery, of Marshall,
Madison county, and in conversation
we ascertained that he was over u years
of age, and that he had not been in Ashe
vile since the war closed. He had Just
sold between five and six hundred pounds
of tobacco at high prices, and as he has
more at home, there will doubtless not
