The Coal Situation.

Dealers Have About 500 Tone nm Hand
---Manufacturers Are well Stumbled.
The local situation in relation to the sup
ply of coal is one that is increasing in in
terest as the effects of the strike are more
and more felt. Inquiry develops the fol-
lowing facts; The aggregate annual ton
mage of coal furnished by the local dealers
Tor the last few years has been about TO-
UOO tons. This does not include the coal
used by manufacturers, which is bought
direct When the strike began aud the re-
celpt OF coal was stopped the amount
which had been received by the dealers had
been about 5000 tons, of which 1000 tons
had been sold and 1910 tons was in the
dealers bins. The continued warm wealth
er has not caused a great demand, and the
dealers early limited the amount delivered
to any one customer to one ton at a time,
and they warned their customers thew
could not guarantee what the future supply
would be.
BY taking this precaution no one has
gone without it yet, and the dealers have
about 500 tons still on hand. The supply
OF coal for furnaces now on hand is less
proportionately than stove and nut coal.
The prices at present range from 81 to So
for the various grades. A dealer in Keene
this week offered to supply dealers here
from Troy, N. Y, at cost to them Of near
ly SO per ton, but the offer was declined.
Of the churches only the Catholic and
Congregational have received their supply
for the winter. The opera house block
supply of about 100 tons has not been re-
ceived, and but 10 tons is left over from
last years supply Nearly all the manu-
facturers have on hand this year a much
larger supply than usual. Last year a
shortage for a time in the fall, resulted in
the building of additional storage which
was filed early in the summer. The In
ternational company have many hundred
tons stored without cover on the meadow
across the river, while J. 7. Moore & Son,
Wyman Flint & Sons and other large users
of coal erected additional storage sheds on
the bank of the river east of the depot, all
of which are full at this time

ProhIbItory Law the Issue.

Controversy over the enforcement of the
prohibitory law is stirring Charlestown, N.
A., and a number of people we'll known
here are involved in it. Rev. Mr.. Blake,
pastor of the Congregational church, has
for some time been pressing the selectmen
to enforce the law, furnishing the evidence.
The selectmen delayed action as long as
they dared, then the evidence had dissp-
peared and the town had bill of costs to
pay. Each charge the other with response
bility for what is termed "farce." Yer
ment is not alone in troubles over restrict

Death OF Mrs. Mary A. Nu,,,ng.

Mrs. Mary A. Nutting passed quietly
away at her home on Henry street a little
before o'clock Tuesday morning at the age
of about 81 years. She had been i'll with
bronchitis little over a week, but serious
" so only since Thursday. Her son,
George w. Nutting of Bridgeport, Conn.
and daughter, Mrs. Guptil of Montpelier,
arrived that day. What adds greatly to
the sadness of the occasion is the fact that
her daughter, Miss Lucy, who has cared so
tenderly for her mother in these later
years, was i'll and unable to be with her
the last few days of her life.
Mrs Nutting, whose maiden name was
Mary A. Bradshaw, was born in Bradford,
VT, but the earlier years of her life were
spent in Berlin, only short distance from
Montpelier. Her early married life was
spent in Randolph, and with her husband,
William Nutting, she came TO Bellows
Falls to live over As years ago, her resi-
dence here being continuous since. Mr..
Nutting engaged in the manufacture of or
gans and erected the building, now used as
a tenement at the east end of the trch
bridge on Bridge street, for his factory
He built later the Aaron Arms dwelling
near it, the house occupied by Joshua Webb
on Atkinson street, the DIR. Campbell
house and Mrs. Nutting's residence on Hen
ry street. He died in 1869, while living
where DR.. Campbell now lives.
Mrs. Nutting has been COMMUNICATE of
the Episcopal church during her entire res
idence here and has been an earnest sup
porter of it. Though debarred by her
deafness from entering into many pleas
ures, she has taken keen interest in ev-
cry thing in the outside world, and warm
ly welcomed her many friends to her home.
Besides the three children spoken of above,
she leaves a sister, Miss Lucy Bradshaw,
who lives in the old home at Montpelier,
and who was here at the time of her
death.
Brief services were held at the house
yesterday afternoon by Rector D. L. San
ford, being entirely private because of the
illness of Miss Nutting Just at the close
of the day her remains were laid to rest
beside her husband in the Episco-
pal church yard, the beautiful committal
service of the church she loved so well be-
ing used.

Salmon. when in perfection, is one OF
the most delicious and nutritive of fish,
The oil is distributed through the flesh,
and for this reason it proves rather hard

by the use of an acid or piquant sauce.

Electric Road N.,ys.


The electric road began Oct. /, selling
monthly tickets to workmen living at Sax
tons River, who are employed in Bellows
Falls. The price is $3.50 per month, en-
titling the owner to one trip each way per
day, and it is being taken advantage of by
many who have heretofore driven teams
between the two places. Correspondingly
low Communication tickets are sold for shorter
distances. A car comes from Saxtons
River reaching here at 6;45 A NJ. and re-
turning at 6:10 in the evening. The road
is building a spur track on Barbsr's farm
TO a point at the foot of the heavily wood
ed hill near the park. The object is to
transport lumber from steam mill, which
Bert Chellis will erect there to clear off the
timber from the woodland connected with
the farm, and perhaps other lots further
up the hill.
Superintendent Holton's injuries of last
week by being thrown from a car have
proved serious enough to confne him to his
bed during the week, but he is hoping to
get about again in few days.
The steam boiler that has been used in
heating the opera house has been found to
be defective, and is being replaced by a
new sectional boiler which is being put in
place by George B. Allbee. The building
is entirely without heat in consequence,
and will probably remain so until the mid
die of next week, meantime causing con-
siderable inconvenience to occupants. The
old boiler was in so bad condition that it
has been torn apart for old iron.
