ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
1t is believed the fire was the work of an
Our hypothesis is that coal oil
)r some other inlamable fluid was injected
N Fischer Bros. building, between the
shells of the building and fired. The object
If course was plumber. During the fire
Col. Jos. Nee was addressing the crowd
md urging them to 90 to work. While he
vas speaking two well dressed strangers
we're seen in the crowd, and one was heard
o say to the other, ale had better go
lOme. He will have enough of his own
business to attend to soon." In few min
ties pile Of shingles saturated with coal

Zee & Mills oil warehouse, just below the
orner of Market and Sixth street. For
unately the fire was eXtinguished before
ny damage was done.
Similar attempts to fire the store of Divine |
Z Goodwin and the Montague block were
lso detected in time.
The Mayor has offered a reward of 81 900 |
Or the arrest of these scOundrels.
1t is probable that there is an organized |
lcendiary gang operating in this country.
{ may be that Chattanooga was expected |
D be another Chicago, and was fired for the |
anne purpose.
Perhaps the Chicago Times revelations |
bout the International Society were true.
INCIDENTS.

Moses Wells will furnish lime to those

Probably as much property was stolen as
as burned. Thieves held carnival Sunday

harf, supposed to have been used by thieves
carry of their plumber.
We find it impossible to give credit to all
no deserve it for their efforts at extin-
lishing the fire. We could not be ubiqui-
us, and from what was told us yesterday,
e whole credit of discovering and extin-
