1ScENDIAR1Es AT WoRK.-During the past two or
three days there has been quite number of fires,
which lead many to suspect that incendiaries are
at work in the city. On Monday night, at late
hour, an clubhouse at 258 BieIville street was dis
covered to be on fire, but it was put out before
any damage was done. But the fremen had hardly
left the spot before the house discovered to be
again on fire, and as the firemen were fatigued,
they could not get back before the flames had
made considerable progress 1t was soon extin-
gushed when they did get to work, however, and
the loss will not amount to three hundred dol
lars This fire was most undoubtedly the work
of an incendiary, and suspicion is very strong
against woman named Martha Pierre, who was
arrested and locked up. People should keep a
close eye their premises just now for it is more
than probable that if they do not they will find
them on fire some night.
