The FIRE.-Another barn was burned last
night. Shortly after eight O'Clock an alarm
from box 46, located at T. X. Earle's card man

ago-had been burned in the yard of Robert

Adriatic and Washburn streets, in flames. The
only assistance possible from the engines
was to keep the flames from house in
front of the barn, which was accom-

also lost a sleigh, which was stored in the barn;
Mr.. Charles Stebbns about ton of hay, and

While the fire was burning, some one gave an
alarm from box a. at the Fox mills, but no
reason is known for it. There seemed to be no
doubt in the minds Of the men who lived near
the barn that was destroyed but that it was set
on fire by some boys. The alarm telegraph
worked badly in that circuit yesterday, and
several expressed the opinion that the fires were
set for the purpose of making all the trouble
possible on that account. II is probable, also,
that the burning of Dexter H. Perry's barn,
Tuesday night, was incendiary. Have we
