BlTUMINoUs COAL.

 Supply Below Nornnal.r

A heavy shipment of bituminous coal for use of the railroad in keeping it's locomotives properly supplied with fuel reached this city, which is coaling point for trains operating be- tween Boston and Hartford and Wor- sester and New London. The quanti- ty of coal now on hand here while am pie for all immediate needs is not nearly as liberal as the amount kept on hand here during normal times.
 Too Much Ice-Too Little Water.
 This is strange winter. At Day vile and at Attawaugah the filling of ice houses is held up because the ice is so heavy that there is not sufficient water remaining under it to allow floating in through the channels lead ing to the ice houses.
 For this reason the work of com pleting the filling of the Gillette and Walker houses at Dayville is held up. Ice on the pond where the cutting has been going on is 23 inches thick, and there is but IS inches of water under it. The big cakes continually ground while being pushed through the chan nels to the storage points, so the work has been temporarily abandoned. The same condition is said to prevail at Attawaugan.
