the entire central and eastern section of
the country and runs far down to the bor-

arctic blast covers so wide an eXpanse of
territory that it moves slowly off the CONT

steady rise in the temperature. The intense
cold has had no marked abatement at any
hour The range of temperature was map
preciable. There was a range of but twelve
degrees. while the days record, which IS
expected to be the record Of the winter pass

eight degrees below. With the sinking of
the sun the mercury again started on its
downward course to the bottom of the shaft,

CoaI Famine at Nashville.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 9.-The in
creased consumption of coal, caused by the
continued fearfully cold weather and the in
ability of Kentucky mines to furnish coal,
the coal supply of this city being chiefly
obtained in Kentucky, have caused a coal
famine and the outlook is most serious. No
dealer will promise coal before next week.
Manufacturing establishments are closing
down, the public schools have scarcely a
weeks supply on hand and the city has but
a scant supply at the water-works pumping
station. Unless many trainloads are received
tomorrow suffering which is already great,
will become fearful. All day the tempera-
ture has stood near zero and tonight is be-
low zero and falling. Coal shortage has
been reported from many surrounding
towns.
