AMERICAN SHIP FIRED UPON BY
 BIG BRAZILIAN
Battleship of Southern Power Acts Quick,
 Signal Misread

RIO DE JANEIRO, Thursday, Feb. s. - The American steamship Evelyn was fired upon by the Brazilian bat tleShip MinesgeraeS, on account of a misunderstanding in signals, accord ing to reports received here today.
 The Evelyn was not damaged but returned to port to clear up the mis- understanding.
 From the details at hand it is re- ported that the incident resulted from the anxiety felt by all over the activi- ties of commerce destroyers and the determination of the Brazilian com mander to enforce neutrality, and pre- vent any raider from operating under disguise. The signal to stop was misread and without waiting to re- peat it the warship opened fire on the Evelyn which was continuing at top speed at a considerable distance.

 Mrs. Anderson is the popular mer- chantess of the town, who after con ducting the school here last year de- cided to enter business.

 The ceremony was witnessed by the officers and crew of the steamer, many of the passengers and number of invited guests from Seldovia. The Admiral Evans is proving her popu- larity by the many happy events which have occurred aboard her.
 After the wedding all partook of a nice luncheon prepared by Chief Steward McPherson and his assist ants, and all joined in wishing the couple a prosperous future.

PEANUTS SOAR
BECAUSE OF WAR
Less Than Two Dozen For 5
Gents; Coal Advances in
Nearby Towns

Big Jumbo peanuts. five cents a
bag, but the bags are decreasing in
size, until at present less than two
dozen of the favorite circus nuts can
be found in five-cent package.
Peanuts have increased almost dou-
BILE in price during the last month.
A. Frankenberg, manager of the
Imperial Tea Company, Familiarity
known as the peanut king of Harris
burg. when asked the reason for the
increasing prices, said
"One of the biggest reasons for the
advanced price of peanuts is that the
virginia planters, where the majority
of the peanuts of the country are
raised, have been paying less atten-
ton and planting fewer peanuts in
recent years and instead planting
more cotton, from which they derive
higher price"
To recoup themselves for the re-
cent wage advance to miners, aver
aging 20 per cent, the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron Company,
one of the largest concerns in the
country, announced yesterday an ad-
vance in price of May coal of forty
cents per ton over the April rates
Dealers in Harrisburg announced this
morning that no advance has been
made here, owing to the fact that
there is little coal to be sold but
that it was their opinion that II the
coal could be received the price would
be advanced. Philad ,lphia, Reading
and York dealers have all advanced
their prices from forty to sixty cents
per ton.
Prices of foodstuffs at the local
markets did not change materially
last week, although there was
shortage this morning due to the in
clement weather.
