PITTsBURG, Oct. 10.-For months
a severely-felt drouth has reigned
west OF the Allegheny mountains.
The drouth extends over western
Pennsylvania, West Virginia,

the last-named state there has been
a remarkable deficiency in rainfall,
according to the figures Of the
Pittsburgh weather station. Since
April goth, there has been no coal

river. Not q bushel of coal has
passed south since that month, and
5000 miners in the river pits have
been idle almost this entire period.
All the boats and barges are loaded
and 100000 bushels of coal have
been waiting three months for
enough water on which to go

quirements in the town, some OF

towns have been strictly limited
in the consumption OF water by
police regulations. A large number
Of towns have cut off shops and
mills.
In Lawrence, Mercer, and adj

selling their stock, because Of the
difficulty in keeping cattle watered.
In the oil fields surrounding
Pittsburg the work Of digging the

has this become in some sections
as to cause a practically complete
suspension OF operations.
