JEWETT CITY
Borough Frozen ,up and No Coal in Sieht-Ashland Go. and Slater Mills Donate Supply to Start School-Why Woman Wore Borrowed Lid Death of Andrew j. Bennett.

After a few days respite from zero weather, with Saturdays temperature nearly up to 60, this borough is frozen up again, with the mercury down to zero. Coal bins, already depleted with the bottom showing iii spots, will be scraped clean this time. There is a small supply of soft coal.
 For the first time the Jewett City Creamery Co.,, the Baptist church and the Riverside Grammar school will at tempt to use soft coal. The Ashland Cotton Go. and the w. A. Slater Mills have generously come to the rescue, and, so that the schoolhouse may not be closed, each has supplied the dis trict with a sufficient quantity of coal from their bunkers to last for several days. Dealers say here that they haven't pound of hard coal in sight.
 Another load of coal in charge of the government was hauled north on Saturday, which accounts for the fact that a man walking down the: track from Tadpole pond four pieces of coal Saturday afternoon, one piece as large as a bowl.
 Time was, thirty five years ago, when two or thre long coal trains a day was no unusual sight. Coal was hauled then in what the railroad men CIliCu Oi 1oA1lPos eS ''AAOA car holding ten tons, built to dump sidewise by means of a cast iron rocker;' upon which the box of the car | rested. s - !
