CITY INTELLIGENCE.
hcendimy Attempt. An attempt was mad
to fire the carpenters shop OF Mr.. Wall, in Pa
ca St, on Sunday night, but fortunately the
means used to accomplish the purpose did no
succeed. MIR. Wall on arriving at his shop
yesterday morning discovered among parce
of shavings, a bundle of Lucifcr Matches, tieC
together in a very ingenious manner with a
string. They had also tied to them piece o.
lead, for the purpose, it is presumed, of throw.
ing them to any distance. Several of the mat.
ches had ignited and burnt some of the shay
ings, but by fortunate nterposition of Provi-
dence did not burn sufficient to fire the shop
Had their attempts succeeded an extensive
conAagration would have been the consequence
as there is u large lumber yard in the mmcdi-
ate ncghborhood Of the shop, which would
have doubtless taken fire. 1t is to be hoped that
our carpenters will be on their guard and use
all precautionary means against these repeated
incendiary attempts.

alarm Of fire on Sunday night, about O'Clock,
the engines proceeded to the neighborhood OF

Report of Fires far The month of ,March, 1915.
The following is from the record kept in the
Library room of the Patapsco Library Associa-
ton Fire alarms Sd; 3S of which were caused
by actual tires 10 by the burning of chmneys
and bonfres; entirely false. OF the actual
fires, 20 originated in brick houses, in frames,
in carpenter shops, and 6 in stables. Twen-
ty fires out ofthe 50 involved the destruction of
considerable property. In the above report is
not embraced several incendary attempts,
which were discovered and extinguished in time
TO prevent any call upon the services of the fire.
men. At the false alarms the bell Of the COM
pany was not rung.
Fire. The alarm of fire about O'Clock last
night, was occasoned by the burning of an old
unoccupied frame house, on Thames St, f. P,
east Of Bond. 1t was owned by Mr.. Robert
Hudson, and insured in the Firemen's Office
The same building was materially injured by
fire some short time ago. The firemen pre-
vented the flames from communicating to other
buildings.
Not Dead. We are happy in being able to
say that MIR. Allen, whom we reported as hav-
ing died from injuries received on Friday last,
is not dead. His leg was broken, his hand
mashed, and he was otherwise injured, but I'M
der good medical care he is dong we'll.
Beautiful D,celling Among the many beau
tiful dwellings that have lately gone up in va
rous parts of our city, we know of none so
so conveniently, and at the same
time so substantially built, as the one Just fin
ished for VIM. Mckim, Esq, at the corner of
Park and Centre sts The architects and build
ers were Mossrs. Welsh & Hogg, gentlemen
extensively known for their mechanical inge-
nuty and skill The brick work was done by
Mr. Francis Burke. The painting was done
by Mr. Thos. X. Turner, which is of the most
beautiful and costly finish, and adds greatly to
his already well known reputation, as one of
our best artists. The house is so by 5 / feet and
we understand cost upwards of $4,000. 1t is
certainly one of the handsomest private dwell
ings in Baltimore, and will add greatly to the
already highly improved appearance of that
portion of our city.
Great destruction Of Wood, A fire broke out
about O'Clock on Sunday afternoon amongst
quantity of wood, the property of the Canton
Company, which had been cut and corded up
during the winter in Patapsco Neck. The fire
was communicated to the wood from a coal pit,
which was being burnt in the vicinity, and be-
lore the fumes could be arrested about three
hundred cords ofwood were entirely consumed
We learn that it will be total loss to the
company.
