it was said at the oilices of the

there was a good supply of coal on‘

,keep their heads and not get pxcited
by inflammatory articles of conditions
in other cities, that the Nbrwalkst
would not have any ceal famine thisl

There is more of a supply of coal';
for the population of the Norwalks,
than there is in Bridgeport for the
population there. and as a result Nor-
