CARS REFUSED.
Local shippers of Coal Can't
Get Transportation.

Mr.. Reed Loaded fhree Cars from
Wilbournc Bank, And r. X. Refused
Nore-Orders to Allow None Loaded
II Ufiington-Grcat Freight Con-
gestion.
Local owners of coal banks have
been encouraged by the greet demand
for coal, and consequent high prices.
to try to mine and ship some OF the
valuable fuel. But they have suffered
sudden rebuff from the railroad
company. Peremptosy orders from
the company have been issued to allow
no cars to be used by local shippers.
Some time ago Mr.. Reed who pur-
chased the Haldeman farm north OF
town decided to try coal shipping.
He had opened sand Quarries on his
farm and built chute TO the railroad
siding to load the building sand. He
conceived the Idea that coal could be
loaded from the same chute.
Mr.. Reed made. contract with Mr..
Wilbourn, who lives on the old expert
ment farm, tn get his coal from the
banks on this farm, which is now
owned by Col. T. J. Gilmore.
Mr.. Wilbourn agreed % deliver
500 bushels per day to the railroad
He began the business only short
time ago, and had delivered enough
for three car loads up to Monday, when
orders were issued by the railroad
company refusing the use of any more
cars for local shippers.
Mr. Reed was compelled to stop.
The Company refused to supply cars TO
any one but the regular shippers, on
account of alleged shortage OF cars.
The three loads that were put on The
tracks have been removed from the
siding. but have not been delivered to
their destination, aud 1t does not seem
that there is any prospec. of its reach
ing the parties who need coal, very
soon.
An order has been issued to the
agent at Ellington not to allow any
coal to be loaded there by local ship
pers who may desire to take advantage
OF the shortage of coal.
This seems like rank discrimination
to the local owners of coal banks, who
think that since the railroad Is a COM
mon carrier. and possesses valuable
franchises that all parties should re-
ceive equal privileges. Wealth bound
up In the hills with no means of trans
portation cannot be made available.
There is no doubt that terrible car
shortage exists, and much other
freight besides coal is delayed Mr..
Watson, of Uffington says he ordered
a car load of hay from Ohio in Novem-
Der last, and never got 1t delivered
till The beginning OF this month.

Few Indictments frobabIe.

The prosecuting Attorney Mr.. Good
win says that very little business from
the county will c,me up before the
grand jury this term, unless some
thing now unforeseen should occur
He is very much gratifled by the ab-
sence Of lawnessness from the county
Within the city there has been more
doing and while the business of the
Jury from this source viii not be
SO great as IT has been on former oc-
casions, there will be enough. On
the whole, indications point to very
quiet session or court, indicative OF
remarkably good order and behavior,
for such populous county.
