Jndlonant At Railroad.

Brighton, Mich, Feb. 17.-This viii
lage has been suffering the stress Of a
coal famine for some time past, and it
is putting it mildly to say that the peo-
pie are highly indignant at the indiffer-
ence of the Pere Marquette Railroad
company in delivering coal, the COM
pany having delivered no hard coal
here in over a month or six weeks.
One of our coal dealers had a carload
billed from Toledo over month ago,
and the same has not yet been re-
ceived. The other dealer has had a
carload of the much desired commod-
ity either on the sidetrack at Detroit
or between Detroit and this place for
more than three weeks, and while
freight train after freight train passes
over the road every day, the people are
left to keep warm as best they can
until such time as the railroad COM
pany may find it convenient to deliver
the car.
