IECENDIARIsM AT GARRETTsVILLE.-
A Correspondent writes US that, last
Thursday night an attempt was made
to burn the store of Crane Brothers at
Garrettsville.
1Itappears that the perpetrators went
to work very deliberately, and used
every means to cause q successful con-
fagration. A quantity Of paper rags
and cloths, in the rear end of thestore
was saturated with kerosene oil, then
several dishes were filed with oil and
placed at intervals under the counter !;
and pail filed with Oil was placed
at The front end of the store and ig-
Enited. One Of the Cranes went to
Cleveland that night to purchase some
goods, the other went to Freedom on
| q visit, and retHrned aboutone o'clock
in the morning and discovered the
fire before the flames had made much
| progress. The alarm was given and
sufficient force was gathered TO sub
due the flames in few moments. The
parties who burst the door in, found q
sewing machine against it. 'Fhere
was about $1,000 worth Of goods in
the store, and fully insured. Fho
A damage to the goods isprobably$l00o
4 or S15O0.. There was nothing missing
from the store, and how Or where the
fiend or fends made. their entrance OF
! exit remains o mystery. There are
various opinions as to the canse Of the
outrage, it could not have been done
to revenge upon the proprietors, az
they have been in business but shorl
time, and have no enemies that they
! are aware of. esoas Il
i The building is rented blythe Cranes
and islecated about mid dway of arrow
of buildings on the south side of the
street. The most of them are old and
miserably constructed,o and sonear tc
each other, that if one burns aIlnwll
burn. It costs five per cent. per yeal
to insure them and tits difficult to ge
insurance at that rate even. -:6slt.2 ..1..
Il A plausible theory, in view of.lal
3 the circumstances, is, that some person
, or persons probably thought a sonfla
grafton would be benefit to the own
ers of the buildings, and In the end
II benefit the place. .afa 6Ea g.
