SNEWS OF STEELTON
STEELTON GETS
SCARS OF COAL
Situation Relieved by Ship
ments Which Arrived
Yesterday

The coal situation in the borough
was relieved considerably by the ar
rival of eight carloads of fuel yes
terday. According to dealer, Det-
weller Brothers received three cars;
Steelton Company Store. two; United
Ice and Coal Company, two and d.
o. Sultzaberger, one.
These shipments added to several
carloads of coke that was in stock
for relief purposes was a big help
in supplying coal to residents most
ly in need of it to keep warm.
w. e. Abercrombie, manager of
the Steelton Store Company, said
this morning that the contents of
two cars was delivered in an hour
and one-half after the teams were
put into use. Sales are now being
made in bushel. lots. BY this method
the company hopes to alleviate the
hardship among the poorer class of
residents. Mr.. Abercrombie said that
these shipments did not commence
to fill the large list of orders.
The congregation of st. Johns
Lutheran Church as a step toward
the conservation of the coal supply
has decided to eliminate the heating
OF the church four days each week.
All weekday meetings will be held
on Wednesday and Friday. BY doing
this officials of the church hope to
have the reserve supply last until
warm weather.
