THREATENED FAMINE.
Coal Dealers in Cincinnati Are Get

Cincinnati, Dec. 13.-Ths Ohio
river at this point is now lower than
In any December in forty-two years,
and according TO Weather Observer
Bass the conditions are not likely
soon to improve, so that the coal sit
uation is becoming daily more acute.
Shortage of coal cars is said to be
delaying shipments by rail, which
would under any circumstances be
insufficient to supply local demands,
and several leading coal men today
expressed a fear that coal famine
was Imminent.
No coal has been received by river
for several months. the usual Noyem-
Der rise having failed 70 materialize
this season. The early freezing OF
the river at'up-riyer points and the
prospect of still lower water have
caused much apprehension among
river men. who say this winter viii

With the express companies 1t is
the same way. They are already be-
