TO SUPPLY
FIRE WOOD
AT COST
Mayor Granger Has Arranged That
FueIIn Limited Quantities VIII
Be Sold at City woodward.

Mayor Granger and Overseer of the
Poor Cummings have taken q good deal
OF interest In the welfare OF people OF
limited means because OF the scarcity OF
coal and the limited resources OF many
people. and so plan has been developed
which WILL II is hoped, work a good deal
OF good.
1t Is proposed to sell to persons with
limited means wood for fuel. that II
sawed, but not split. in quantities as may
be desired up to two feet. The cost of the
wood and the cost of delivery will be paid
by the purchaser. but the cost OF saving
and preparing the wood will be borne by
Mayor Granger and Mr.. Cummings.
There will be no Investigation OF the
circumstances OF the purchasers. but, be-
cause OF the manner Of sale. all orders
must be accompanied by cash. IL Is esti-
mated that the people, through this plan.
can save about 70 cents on two feet of
wood, which is an amount worth saving
to most people. But, of course, the pur-
chasers must be people of moderats
means. This plan Is to bs followed out
Immediately. There is now central office
but orders can be left at SIG Eddy street.
Later on IL is hoped that some arrange
ment can be made that the people may
leave orders at the police stations, or
some plan devised whereby IL will not be
necessary for the people to go to the
office.

HARD COAL
A LONG
Way OFF
Some Local Dealers Say They
Do Not Expect Anthracite to
Arrive Before Dec. |.

There is but little doing In the circle OF
business n IN the same condition that It
has been for the past few months. The
prospect for obtaining anthracite coal
does not improve as the time nits by and
brings the people nearer and nearer TO
coal weather.
Mr.. Simmons of the Eastern Coal Co.
was in New York yesterday looking over
the field and he said today that he did
not believe that hard coal could be sold
here within the coming month, that Is TO
say. he did not expect coal before Dec. i.
He did not believe there would be a
great deal OF coal sent here when II did
come and he was OF the opinion that II
would be late In January or early In Feb
ruary before the dealers got all or the
coal they wanted. 30 far as the prices are
concerned he said that yesterday ne saw
hard coal sweepings sold for SS.2o (. o. b.
ut South Amboy and that the purchaser
took 1900 tons at that.
This coal was something he would not
bring here. and Il will be seen that in
other parts of the country there Is quite
as extreme need as there Is to be found
at Providence. Mr.. Simmons says that
there Is some soft coal to BE had but not
all that is wanted.
The Providence agent OF tho Delaware
and Laokawanna road says that his COM
pany has not sent him any information
as yet he does not know when coal will
be shipped. Many OF tho local coal deal
ers say that all they can do Is to wait and
mako the best OF the situation. This
morning the Providence Coal Co. 'receiv-
ed a cargo OF 22s tons Of washed chest
nut coal. which Is the largest size OF coal
90 be received here since early in May.
This company has received two cargoes
OF anthracite buckwheat. previously. and
John r.. White & Son has received one
cargo OF buckwheat coal.
The cargo OF welch coal remains in the
hsrbor and 20 far as is known none OF
it has been sold. although the coal Is fine
and good. There Is q fair demand for
wood but the price has fallen and it is
not now considered prohlbitive

powder salesman at s:l5 o'clock this MORN

The other woman had drawn two fine
rugs; but as he could not Ind the sd-
