H|bERN|A BELL
BECOMES RIVAL
. Of OLD TRIANGLE
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
the cover of darkness, bad, bold fire
men from Perth Amboy came to this
city last night and, by applying mod
ern second story methods, captured
the historical old bell which was
presented recently to the Indepen-
dence Engine and Hose Company by
the Hibernia Engine Company, OF
New Brunswick.
The Perth Amboy firemen came to
this city about 1880 O'Clock this
morning and it is said that they
were piloted to the fire house by an
unsuspecting special night officer.
When they reached the building they
proceeded to take the doors off the
hinges and upon gaining entrance
easily discovered the whereabouts of
the relic.
Now the bell weighs about 500
pounds, but this did not daunt the
bold Perth Amboy fire laddies, who
had a hand car stationed on the
railroad tracks in the rear of the
fire house The bell was quickly
transported to this car and taken
across the bridge to Perth Amboy.
This morning members of the In
dependence Engine Company dis
covered their loss. Chief of Police
Mcdonnell and others identified fin
ger prints on the door as those OF
members of the Liberty Hook and
Ladder Company, of Perth Amboy
who we're the guests of the Enter
prise Hook and Ladder Company
+bo O11 uppna Nav aalphra-
tion last Saturday.
1t is said that appeals to the may
or and city council to get the bell
returned will be futile since the city
officials declare they warned the In
ldependence fremen to keep the
relic chained.

War Prices Soar Here.

war TICtS oOdf nero.
Merchants here today declared
that the prices of food commodities
and meats have scared at wholesale
beyond even the prices reached dur
ing the Spanish-American war in
many cases. Flour is selling at fifty
cents a barrel in advance of the
price July 28, before the declaration
of war had been declared by the
European nations. Sugar has ad-
vanced two to three cents a pound at
retail, and one large store here will
not sell more than ten pounds to a
customer at one time because of the
scarcity of the commodity Coffee
has advanced four cents pound
wholesale; tea, seven cents; cheese,
one and one-half cents, which will
be followed by a corresponding in
crease by the retailers when their
present supply is exhausted. The big
stores generally buy ahead month
or more, and the full wholesale boost
in prices will not be felt as strongly
by the consumer until the merchants
present stock is gone.
Eggs and butter are advanced at
Wholesale and retail, as are canned
goods, the latter of which has been
boosted fifty cents a dozen cans of a
pound each, wholesale. One mer-
chant gave a reason for the jump in
canned goods, declaring that England
had been buying up all she could lay
her hands on from the different pack
ers. He said: Canned meats have
been bought up by England in great
quantities, and it is reported she has
bought practically all the one-pound
meats from the packers now On hand
at about $3.50 a Dozen" He said
that $4,000 dozens OF eggs were
shipped from New York yesterday,
and that England is buying up all
raw sugar she can find. He thought
-four had reached it's height in mar
ket value. Corn meal has gone up
fifty cents barrel, but this increase
will have but little effect on the re-
tail price.
Sardines, olive oil and all other
imported commodities have scared in
price the past few days, and sardines
are selling from three to five cents
per can higher than on July 28.
Vegetables and fruits are the only
salvation of the poor. These are
reasonable in price Potatoes are
plentiful, and selling at ninety-eignt
cents bushel One merchant said
the only reason the prices of these
have not advanced is because they
cannot be bought up and kept indefi-
nitely as many other commodities.
