him, added, "By the way, here is
something of yours"
His hand rose instinctively to take
it; then dropped.
II don't know what you mean," he
remarked. you have nothing Of mine"
"No? Then John Judson Moore had
another brother" And I thrust the
paper back into my pocket.
He followed it with his eye. It was
the memorandum had found in the
old book Of memoirs plucked from the
library shelf within, and he recognized
it for his and saw that I did also. But
he failed to show the white feather.
"You are good at ransacking," he OBJ
served. "Pity that 1t cannot be done
to more purpose"
smiled and made a fresh start.
With my hand thrust into my pocket,
I remarked without even so much as
q glance at him:
y fear that you do some injustice
to the police. we are not such bad
fellows; neither do we waste as much
time as'you seem to think" And, draw
ing out my hand with the little fllgree
ball in 1t, whirled the latter inno-
Gently round and round on my finger.
AS it flashed under his eye I cast a
penetrating look.
He tried to carry the moment of sue
cessfully; will give him SO much
credit. But it was asking too much Of
his curiosity, and there was no mis-
taking the eager glitter which lighted
his glance as he saw within his reach
this article which moment before he
had probably regarded as lost forever.
"For instance" went on, watching
him furtively, though quite sure from
his very first look that he knew no
more now of the secret Of this little
ball than he knew when he jotted
down the memorandum had just
pocketed before his eyes, "a little thing,

search would yield in years. do not
say that it has; but such thing is
possible, you know-who better?"
My nonchalance was too much for
him. He surveyed me with covert dis

"fYour opportunities have exceeded
mine, even with my own effects. That
petty trinket which you have presum-
ed to flaunt in my face-and Of whose

SAY RATES
WILL co UP.
Insu anCe Agents Express the
Belief When Asked to Talk
About The Fire.

The general opinion of tho insurance
agents in this city is that the oon-
fiagration of Saturday night will tend
to raise the insurance rates, which
have been extremely low.
e. L. Brown, OF the Pratt Brown
Company, snid II have heard moth
ing from the companies as yet, but
tho rates will probably be raised. In
surance has been written for practic-
ally nothing in this city for some
time. We have tried to get better
protection from the city for some time
and I hope that something will soon
be doEe to increase the fire fighting
facilities"
Frederick f. Fox said: "The rates
in this city have been cut to a very
low figure and they will probably be
increased as a result of the fire."
Pierce 6 Watson, Nelson Bros. +,
Boynton Bros, and Bishop Company
all express themselves as believing the
insurance companies will no longer
take risks i'll this city at the present
rate under the present conditions.

SOUTH AMBOY
WAS EXCITED.
Many RumOrs Over there to The
Effect that City was
Burning Down.
Special to tie Evenfng Me7Vs.

South Ambov, Mar. 7:-When the
fire alarm sounded Saturday night and
| the word passed around that the steam
er was to be taken to Perth Amboy to
assist at the fire in that town, there
was great excitement here. The
people f1ocked up to the Raritan River
Railroad to see them get the engine
on q fat car OH that road, which was
dono with considerable exertion OH
the part of the flremen and no soone
was it gotten on tho car than they
came rushing down to see it pass. Mr..
F. Hoffman went with it and kept it
at Perth Amboy until the engine was
to be brought back again. Word went
around that Kreielsheimer's jewelry
store, d. West. Seaman's drug store,
and several others were destroyed and
it was thought here that the disaster,
although great, was far worse that it
really was until parties returned from
there later in the evening. Crowds
went from here, for the anxiety seem
ed almost as great as il the fire had
been in their own town. Those who
did not go were hoping that the en-
CINE and the South Amboy fire laddies
would be of great assistance in getting
the fire under control and when word
was received that they had gotten two
streams on the fire and were hard at
work, there was great rejoicing here.
Great sympathy was expressed for
those who suffered bv the fire.

WHERE THE BLAME LIES.

After such o disastrous fire which
occurred Saturday night the Evening
News does not feel in the mood to say
81 told you so,' today, but it could
very properly do 20. A glance over
the files of the News shows where,
day after day, this paper has warned
tile city fathers that just such a catas.
trophe would visit this city ana many
times the cost of an up-to-date fire
fighting equipment would go up il
smoke. This is what has happened.
The News urged the necessity of two
steamers. claiming that while the
fremen could easily extinguish most
of the fires that occur here, if one
should get beyond their control, they
could not stop it. The need of steam
fire engines was admitted when neigh
boring towns were asked to bring
theirs. as our denedenent was prac-
tlcally Rclpless.
1t Is admitted that the water press
nre was at its best, yet the streams
played by the Perth Amboy companies
would hardly reach beyond the show
windows of the stores while the fire
burned fiercely in the centre entirely
beyond reach. Likewise when held
IN, the stream hardly reached the
second story windows. No city in the

world has ever fought fire successfully
with such an equipment and it was
ridiculous to think Perth Amboy
could. The power to give this city O
first class fire department has been at
the disposal of the city officials for q
year, but they neglected their oppor-
tunity. By their inaction over
800, 900 worth Of property has been
lost. If they were looking to econo
mize city funds. where does the econ
omy come in. Fire was liable to
break out anywhere when least Ok
pected and, rs the Evening News has
pointed out time and again, the city
should have been ready to fight it.
The citv fathers took their W good
time in taking up the matter at all,
and they ridiculed the idea Of steam
ers. They are alone to be blamed for
Saturday nights disaster.
