carriage swerved suddenly and got be-
yond control of the driver. They
dashed down Upshur Row, past the
line of cadets, the driver meantime
making every effort to quiet them. The
breaking of the pole of the carriage as

roadway served to render them more
excited.

Chicago. Jan. 13.-The irony and cru
city OF cold and the coal situation, with
eleven persons frozen to death yester-
day. are set forth strikingly by the dis
covery that that there are within ra-
dius of few miles of the business dis
trict probably 10000 carloads of coal.
The City Council yesterday took a
hand in the solution of the coal prob
lem. An ordinance was passed making
the forestalling of fuel supplies mis-
demeanor. punishable with fine OF
5000 for each offense. AS an emergen-
cy matter the measure was rushed
through under suspension of the rules.
After ten days it will go into effect and
then any dealer or firm that combines
with intent to raise the price of any
fuel commodity will be amenable to
the courts for violation of city ordi-
nance.
The special grand jury called to in
vestigate the conditions responsible for
the coal famine continued yesterday to

ors and big dealers.
