FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED
In the Death Of Geo. w. Clough at East
Kingston, N. n.

East Kingston, y. H., Dec. S.-Devel-
opments in the case of George w.
Clough. the Amesbury, Mass, man
whose body was found on a lonely road
here. Sunday, lying beside the mans
horse and carriage. have led the au-
thorities of Kingston to believe that the
man met with foul play and coro-
ner's jury was impaneled which VIII
hold hearing in the case to deter
NINE the cause of death.
The body was found by Tax Collect
or Wyman of South Hampton, and was
brought to Kingston where upon eX-
animation it was found that the man
had a bruise on his head. His watch
and large sum of money which he
was known to have had on his person
were missing. These circumstances
have led the police to suspect that the
mans death was not caused by cold
and exposure as was at first thought.
Mr.. Clough was the superintendent of
the AmeSbury almshouse. Sunday af-
ternoon. he left Amesbury for Kings
ton with a sum of money to pay off
some wood choppers whom he had en-
ployed recently. Whether or not he
met those men before he was found
Is not known and an effort is being
made to locate some of the men to md
OUT whether or not they received their
pay. II they did not. the authorities
say the missing money must have been
taken from Mr.. Clough after an as
sault had been committed upon him.
Mr.. Clough was a. years cid and well
known both in Kingston and Ames-
bury.

THE FAMINE AT BOSTON.
No Hopes Of Relief for Many Weeks
to Come.

Boston. Dec. $50 far as anthracite
coal for domestic use is concerned, Bos-
ton appears to be facing coal famine.
The situation. today, is the most Sc
rious ever known by the local coal deal
ers and most of the leading retailers
have stopped taking orders. The sup
ply of gas and anthracite coal COM
ing to tide water at New York is now
about $1,000 tons day from all roads.
About one third of this is available for
Eastern shipment and it is not all des-
tined to Boston.
Even if the whole supply of Eastern
shipment coal came to this city it
would not be equal to the normal
amount and then it would not be pos
sible for the coal companies to deliver
more than about 5000 tons a day to
Boston and its suburbs under the pres
ent conditions.
The price is normally unchanged at
50 a ton. but there is every indication
that this price will be higher within the
next few days. as the suburban dealers
have already put the price up to S12 a
ton and even higher in some cases.
