ANOTHER INcENpIARY ATTEMPT
About 10 O'Clock last evening, says the
Enterprise of this morning, n rascally
attempt was made to burn Wilson's
undertaking establishment on B street.
Il. NJ. Fillebrown, the well known
musician, was passing along the side
walk, when he smelt the fire, and see
ing the light of 1t upon the front show
window. he looked in, and there in
the middle Of the floor he saw n pile
of pulu just getting into q good blaze.
He rang the night bell of the shop, but
no one answering, he proceeded to
force the door, and procuring a bucket
OF so Of water and assistance from
Moneys stable, near by, the fire was
o o extinguished. without giving any
general alarm. The shop where this
fire was set Is next north Of where the
house Of Invincible Hose Company
stood before it was burned, and the
fire had evidently been started by some
one dropping a lighted match or some
thing to that effect through q skylight
in the roof, rs this skylight was found
to have been forced open an inch or
two. The object of this incendiary
might perhaps have been to create q
diversion favorable to his friends now
in Jail, showing that they are not all
the incendiaries In the city, or perhaps
not the real ones. We consider that
for this reason our people should be
more vigilant than ever, aud on their
guard against incendiary attempts.

wax set in brass, also n fancy pm

Cling about a little brass cross. Total
cost, 90 70; total value, six bits, or
less-probably much less. The stated
value OF these prizes was from 50 to
$40 each. Somebody made big profits
on their trash.
