LINE TO PURGATORY
Contemplated by Worcester
Men with Capital.

Millbury, Oct. 14.-Men were at work
today Surveying for proposed electric
route from Millbury Centre to Purga-
tory in Sutton. One Of the surveyors
was seen by Spy man today and he
stated that he did not intend to give
any statements for publication as to the
future Of the road, but said that it was
for Worcester company. 1t is thought
here that the company interested is the
Consolidated Street Railway. This com
pany is building a road from Worcester
to Grafton, and it is expected that it
will build to Millbury, thence to SUIT
ton centre and thence through Purga-
tory to Whitinsville. If this line goes
through. it will greatly aid the travel
ing public, as the railroad facilities
from the outskirts of the town are not
of the best
A member of the board of selectmen
was seen this evening in regard to the
matter, and said that he understood
that this move was to be taken, but did
not think it would petition for fran
chise until spring.

COAL FAMINE
imminent
Fuel Supply Of Ell Paso Al
most Exhausted.
THE SOUTHWEST SUFFERS
Orders Have Been Piling Up For
Weeks Which Dealers Are Unable

To Fill.
Ell PasO is at present in the throes of
q coal famine that threatens to impede
industry and seriously mbarrass every
consumer of coal in the city.
Some OF the railroads are actually
suffering for fuel and coal yards
throughout tho city which supply the
slim supplies now on hand. Some of
them are already entirely out of the
precious black diamonds, with stacks
OF orders On hand which they are un-
able to fill.
The coal famine Is not confined
to Ell PRso alone, but extends
over the entire southwestern
country. For some time past the
railroad companies have been unable
to procure enough miners to supply
the extraordinary demand for coal.
They have been gradually falling be-
hind in filling their orders for q month
or more and at present find themselves
in the same condition as the local deal
ers-with hundreds of orders on hand
and without the means to fill them,
The Santa Fe company, which has
the coal consumed in this city, mines
most OF it at Cerrillos, N. M, Bios
burg, N. M, and Starkeville, Col.
The agent of the coal company here
says that the supply of coal at their
mines is inexhaustible,b but enough min
ers cannot be found to dig
It.. These mines supply portion of
Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico
with fuel.
At present the condition in Ell Paso
Is critical and there is no telling
when 1t will be alleviated.
Strange to say, although the supply of
coal In Ell PasO Is well nigh exhausted.
the price has not risen, but is now the
same as heretofore.
Confronted as they are by q coal ia
mine the citizens of this city look with
longing eyes toward the Salado coal
fields which will be so much more &C.
cessible than any of the present fields
which supply Ell Paso.
