The big coal strike has already bad it's
effect in E lsw nth, and price on hard coal
was marked up so cents this week. This
takes it up to winter price, S6 so ton,
which usually is not reached until late in
the fall. F. 3. Lord, the Ellsworth dealer,
has been unable to have new orders for
coal accepted except subject to the strike.
Unless the strike is speedily settled, there
is a possibility that Ellsworth will be
short of coal this winter, and still
further advance in prices may follow.
Other Maine dealers have made advances
ranging from so cents to 81 ton.
There was a double runaway on Main
street Monday afternoon. Col. John F.
Whitcomb drove to his house on Main
street and while he stepped inside
fastened his horse to the wheel of A. M.
Fosters carriage which was standing in
the yard. Something started the horses,
and they ran down Main street and
across the bridge. Mr.. Fosters horse was
leading by about ten lengths. Several
wagons standing beside the street were
just cleared by the runaways. Mr..
Fosters horse turned down South street.
The carriage was overturned but righted
itself again. When the horse reached
Turner'S hill he came down to a walk and
went to his own stable. Col. Whitcomb's
horse stopped OF her own accord on
Bridge hill. Mr.. Fosters carriage was
badly damaged and the horse was slig htly
cut.

wearing no collar. Deer are quite plenty
in this section and have been seen in the
fields several times during the summer.
There are few dogs kept in the vicinity

their owners care for their dogs, they
must be kept off from deer or they will
meet the same fate as the black hound.
