flous IN Ellsworth, owing to the en-
bargo placed upon freight and de-
livery by the snow. Mr.. Jones, of
the c. w. Grindal estate, reports
this morning the supply of furnace
coal entirely exhausted. They have
fair supply of nut coal, but that is
now being drawn upon heavily to
supply the shortage of furnace
sizes. They have plenty of coal or
dered, and in transit, some of il
near by, but until freight movement
can be resumed, it might as well be
IN the mines. The wood situation is
but little better. Men have been
Kept busy breaking out their wood
roads, and deliveries are almost i'm
possible, owing to the blocked con-
dltlons of the main roads. No local
freight has been received in Ellis
worth since week ago yesterday.
A freight came dawn from Bangor
to-day, but with not so much as a
pound of sugar for Ellsworth. The
food supply is already low in the
stores, and If the present storm de-
Velops serious proportions, the food
shortage Will become acute.
