There was an attempt, on Friday
night, to fire two story frame house, on
Twenty first street, occupied by a negro
woman, named Nancy Yarby. A lot Of
shayings intermingled with scraps Of
Noyes' circus bills were piled against the
side Of the house, and that there was not
disastrous fire was owing to the fact
that the matches would not ignite.
Several matches were left on the ground,
which had been tried, and failed to ig-
mite. As there are live other tinderish
buildings adjoining that occupied by
Mrs. Yarby, and a. the whole are remote
from the engine houses, the fire, had 1t
started, would have been quite Sc rious.

The frequent and expensive attempts
made to 80 ventilate the county Jail as to
carry off the noxious emanations from
the cells, have all resulted In failure. AT
one time the smells that arose to the
offices al owe were so offensive that the
county officers were driven to the free
and frequent use Of the most powerful
disinfectants. In this manner the coun.
ty has been subjected to OUTLAWS, amount
ing in the aggregate to hundreds of dol
lars.
The only remedy is new jail, and the
sooner provision is made for IL the better.
Not another dollar Of the public money
should be expended on the present Jail,
that is not absolutely necessary for the
security OF the prisoners.
