A. s z. Tea Co. Grind Coffee.
The Great Atlantic g. Pacific Tea
Company was unusually lucky in Sc
curing a big order, contracting to
provide 210 pounds of best coffee,
100 pounds of tea and twenty-one
barrels of potatoes. The coffee was
grounded last night took an
electric machine ninety minutes
but the other articles were not pre-
pared. Mr.. Walker sent a boy out
to ArnOld's hill this morning to
learn whether or not the soldiers
had arrived, and says he was not
surprised to hear to the contrary.
The supplies ordered at this store
can be disposed of to regular Gus
toners at no loss to the firm, MIR.
Walker declares.
Orders Meat at BoraEs.
Borak Brothers received an order
for nine quarters of beef, totalling
about 2,100 pounds, but were not
placed to much Inconvenience by the
contract. The alleged soldier ad
vised the dealers not to cut the
meat up, but send it 'to camp" in
quarters, therefore it was easily re-
turned today to the beef company,
or stored in the Borak iceboxes for
regular use. William H. Woglom,
another butcher, had an opportunity
to close a contract with the agent,
money can be made on such a large
price demanded by the wholesalers,
He is pleased today with his deci-
sion.

called Fort Totten, Long Island, by
telephone today and learned that no
troops had been ordered from that
fort to Perth Amboy.
Description Of "Soldier.'
The advance agent, who was short
and dressed in the uniform of an
artilleryman, stopped at the NEWS
office yeNerday afternoon and gave
complete description of the plans
Of the regiment Of 1900 men, which,
he stated, would arrive here at l
o'clock this morning. Riley" stated
that the soldiers were ordered here
for their yearly outing, as we'll as to
put the town under patrol during
the present industrial troubles. Act
inf Mayor Ferd. Garretson called
Gneral Wilbur F. Sadler by tele-
phone last night and was informed
by that official, who had military
charge here during the strike, that
no troops had been ordered to move
into Perth Amboy. This statement
was corroborated this morning at
the office of the adjutant general Of
the United States Army on Cover
nor's Island.
None to Pass Through Here.
1t was learned at the adjutant
generals office that no United States
troops will move through this city as
at first expected. The department
originally planned to send detach-
ment by boat to this city and then
on hike" across Jersey to Mt.
Gretna, Pa. This idea has been aban-
doned, and the only troops to camp
this year at Mt. Gretna will come
from the vicinity of Niagara, N. Y,
and will not put foot on New Jersey
soil. The adjutant general will
probably take up the case against
the alleged fakir and, II he is cap
tured, prosecute him In federal
court.
