Coal Situation Is Serious.

Lafayette, Nov. 28. —The coal situation in Lafayette is rapidly becoming acute in spite of the conservation measures that are being enforced, whldh include the elimination of all electric signs, lights in display windows and only partial street lighting service. The display windows of business houses are being lighted by candles, large and small. The Northern Juliana Gas and Electric company, which furnishes electric light and power and gas for lighting and heating purposes is in no immediate danger of being compelled to suspend operations, several days’ supply of fuel being on hand.
