THE CITY.

VfllainOua Attempt to Fire RailrOad
Building.
One of the boldest and at the same time
most internal attempts at arson which it has
ever been our duty to record, occurred about
midnight on Sunday, tho building imperil-
cd being the Freight Depot Of the Cleve-
land and Pittsburgh Railroad Company
Two watchmen are employed at this depot
during the night-one till midnight and the
other from midnight -! -! 1uorning, and the
time selected by the villain to hre the build
ing was about the time the change of watch
men takes place. Near the hour of II the
first watchman left the depot on his last
round through the yard, to see that all was
right, which probably required an absence
Of half or three-quartsrs Of an hour. Dur
ing his absence, the incendiary, who had
doubtless been prowling about the building
during the greater portion of the night wait
ing an opportunity to carry into effect his
hellish design, and who doubtless had his
plans we'll matured, commenced his work.
It would seem that he 6rst broke open a
barrel Of oil, from which he partially satu-
rated bale of hemp, and rolled the bale un'
der the stairway leading up to the offices,
which are situated above the receiving room.
he then dipped out buckets full Of oil from
the barrel, and lsid trains to all parts Of the
building, also covering everything be could
with the oil. This done, he set running the
oil fn six or eight other barrels, with 3 view
to covering the door, and thus rendering
failure impossible. He then went to the
switch nearest the building and spiked it,
in order to prevent the locomotive getting
on to the track upon which there was train
of cars, most of them inside the depot: He
then returned to the building and set fire to
the bale under the stairway, and probably
took hgsty departure from the premises.
Most providentially, not only for the Rail-
road Company Immediately concerned, but
for the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati
Railroad Company and many owners Of
property and residents on River street,
the watchman returned to the depot before
the fire had made any considerable head
way, and with 8 remarkable presence Of
m md, rolled the bale through the building
,nd out upon the dock to the river
Had he been three minutes later, the en-
tire buiIdR7g would have been in flames
and mast the control of the Fire Department
and the heavy wind prevailing at th'
time must have carried the FIRE tOthefreigh
dspot ofthe c. c. & C: Road, and thence on
to Rivsr street, resulting, beyond doubt II
the most disastrous FIRE ever known t
Cleveland.

Fifty prisoners taken By Gen Paine were
