age of sausages and in their pockets
onions and an orange. Later the find

the rear of the Merchants Block and
on Monday another ham was found in
the hallway leading to Wyanoke Hall.
Evidently all the food came from the
butcher shop of Underhill and Bell on
Speedwell avenue, one Of the partners
having been sent home shortly before
the arrests and the other shooed'
home at the same time. The men ar
rested had been in the shop with the

GREAT Loss for Rockaway.

The loss of the rolling mill, which
was recently destroyed by fire, is be-
ginning to be seriously felt in the bor-
ough of Rockaway. Families are daily
moving away, and it is said that with
in a short time fully twenty-five
houses will have been vacated. Such
was the demand for houses recently
that many of the landlords took an ad-
vantage Of increasing the rents, and
it is thought that the vacating of 50
many houses will bring the rents down
somewhat.

ABOUT INSURANCE RATES.

Insurance Representatives Eudeavor-
ing TO Explain the New Rates.
The fire insurance row at Boonton
has been settled after conference at
which the insurance representatives
endeayored to explain the new rates,
and the reasons for organizing the
agents association in Morris county.
It appeared from what they said that
the basis of a mercantile risk was SIS
per thousand for one year; to this was
added 81 a Thousand on account Of the
San Francisco disaster, and $150 be-
cause Boonton had not a standard fire
department. Sums were added be-
cause the water mains did not suit
them, because the sureets were not
paved and for other reasons, until in
some instances the rates were built up
until they reached thirty and forty
dollars thousand, while under the
former rates, known as the suburban
rates, the charges were from So to
$3.50 per thousand.
AS to the Morris county association,
of which John L. Brown, of Boonton,
is the president, each representative
said that his company did not insist
on it agents signing its constitutions
as condition 70 doing business for
the company. E. j. Cahill, however.
had letter that had been written
him, giving three days to sign the arti-
cles or discontinue as their agent.
The companies agreed to go back to
suburban rates on all mercantile risks
in Boonton and add to such rates the
changes in the risks as made in the
schedules and corrected at moderate
cost to property owners. When these
improvements have been made the
district committee will allow credits
for them. No charges are to be made
by reason of the San Francisco disas-
ter. Inspectors are to make a new
survey of all mercantile risks.

AIN UGLY MIDNIGHT FIRE.

Causing Several Families to Escape
the Flames by Ladders.
A fire which started a little after
midnight on Saturday night did sew
eral thousand dollars worth of dam
age to the frame building, II and 49,
Washington street, owned by Mrs.
Vivian Shaw The fire started in the
basement of the clothing store of M.
Holland and broke OUT in the hall
leading to the upstairs rooms and in
the candy and fruit store of A. Butera.
The tenants above were of course
badly frightened and the smoke was
so dense in the hall that they were
afraid to attempt to get out that way
They accordingly went to the front
windows and were assured that they
were safe. The ladders from the Truck
were put up on the arrival OF that
piece of apparatus and Mrs. Hazen,
Miss Hazen, Mrs. Fred Ayers, Thomas
Lahey and wife and daughter were as
sisted down the ladder to the side
walk, while the two children of Mrs.
Ayers were also carried down. All
were escorted to the Mansion House
for shelter The fire was hard prop
osition to fight and the firemen were
kept busily employed for about four
hours.
Fire did not do as much damage as
smoke and water, the two stores and
the floor above being wet down pretty
thoroughly. Some of the water ran
through to the cellar of Albert Bow
mans store adjoining and did some
damage in the cellar. The building
was damaged about 800. Just what
the other losses are has not been set
tied, but the total will run up pretty
well. Some of the tenants upstairs
had no insurance Mrs. Ayers was
one Of those burned out at the last
fire in the Crane Building on Speed
