THE COAL FAMINE.
liability OF Roads TO Ha"dIc II Is the Princi-
pal Cause.

Boston. Nov. 15.-The general pros
perity of all branches of industry in
New England. and the entire country.
is causing a furry in coal and it is said
inat is a probability of coal famine.
The head of one of the largest concerns
in this city when seen, today, said
that at the present time coal merchants
were striving to supply the demand,
but were not able to do so. Especially
is this the case in antracite coal, and
at different places, such as Mystic,
Salem, Newburyport, where there is
generally from 100000 to 2,0O0000 tons
of coal stored for immediate use, the
bins are empty, today.
The cause Of the trouble is claimed
TO be two fold, the inability of the rail-
roads to provide enough rolling STOCK,
and the general industrial prosperity.
The latter. il is claimed, is the prlncl-
pal factor Many mills and factories,
which for years have been idle, now
are running. which cannot be filled if
the railroads do not provide transpor-
,ation. The vessels which generally
loar in Baltimore and Philadelphia on
n siA-day basis, now are obliged TO
wait three weeks before they can Sc
cure n cargo. and freights have gone
IN 81 and in some cases $50 per ton.
Not only is this dready outlook found
in New England. but it is the same in
the South and West. If the outlook
does not improve prices must go high
or. The railroads are in about as bad
a position and many of them have used
M their stock on hand and are ready
RI seize upOn the stock in tranSpOrtd-
ton to enable them to keep their roll
ing stock in motion. All the railroad
shops are working TO their fullest ca
pacity and are doing their utmost to
turn out rolling stock, but they cannot
possibly meet the demand.
1t the coming winter is severe. it Will
no doubt bring considerable hardship
and suffering among the poor people.

The Androscoggin has never been so
low in the memory of persons living at
Rumford Falls. The lakes are drained
nearly to their normal size before the
dams We're put in to hold the water.
and therefore the large reserve which
has been drawn on all summer is be-
coming exhausted. Soon at the pres
ant rate there will be no reserve to
add to the normal flow Of the river
and then the mills will suffer. Already
they have been obliged to shut down
for an hour or two for several nights.

man, six feet four inches; rode a large
horse. was always in uniform with a con-
spicuous white helmet, with a division
flag always with him, and wherever there
was danger you would find his conspicu-
Gus form in plain view Of the enemy. His
