Coal and Wood Dealers Busy.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ELWOOD. Ind, Dec. 6.-The continued
deficiency of the gas supply in Elwood is
causing a veritable boom in the coal and
wood business and the two firms which are
now making deliveries have far more orders
on their books than they can fill. For the
first time since gas was discovered coal
wagons ply their trade in the streets, and
loads of stovewood, which a few years
ago would have been a curiosity are now
common. The gas companies have been and
still promising better service, but
each cold snap demonstrates the mad
equacy of the gas supply, and several hun
dred families have cut off their gas and
wood and coal exclusively.
