meeting lot at Old Orchard, held meeting on
the grounds yesterday and effected a temper
airy organization by electing Rev. Mr. Luce
Chairman, and NJ. G. Palmer, Esq, Secretary
A meeting to effect permanent organization
will be held on the 18th inst. The associ alton
embraces gentlemen from all parts of the

sented yesterday. Those who were present ex-
press themselves as being delighted with the
location, and are greatly pleased by the admir-
able manner in which the engineer, Mr.. j. G.
McClintock, has laid it out. From the outer
circle of tents stretch straight streets and wind
ing avenues on which are the cottage lots The
auditorium is in the form of an amphitheatre,
the seats rising row above row from the desk.
The acoustic effect is so good that an ordinary
tone Of voice can be heard 200 feet In the
outer circle beyond the auditorium are the So
ciety tents, aud beyond these the society tents.
From the ontermost circle lead the streets and
avenues. Rising from the mingled hard and soft
wood growth are little hills commanding fine
sea view. many of them being rs feet above
the sea level. A brook runs through the
grounds, and springs abound. Taking it all in
all the location is the best for its purpose in
New England. The association will expend
about $4,000 in grading, building and other i'm
provements during the coming year. Arrange
ments have been made for seating 1000 people,
with an opportunity to increase to 1000. The

FIRE BUGS ABOUT.
Several Incendiary Attempts Frustrated.

Great numbers of small fires have been set in
this city during the last month, all of which, r.
a time. were attributed to the carelessness OF
thoughtlessness of small boys. No doubt many
of the fires were originated by boys but facts
recently come to light prove that some of them
owe their origin to deliberate ncend arism 1t
has become apparent that attempts have been
made, probably by persons having view to
plumber to fire the city. Fire traps have been
discovered and are now in possession of the City
Marshall which conclusivey demonstrate this
fact. These traps are prepared by taking a
paper saturated with saltpetre and wrapping
up therein bunch of matches and stone in
close juxtaposition. The continuance is then
thrown through the windows of building and
when it strikes the matches are ignited.
confagraton is expected to and very likely may
follow. One of these traps was thrown through
the window of the millinery shop on Congress
street which took fire Sunday night, and one
was found Monday night in the Emery & Wa
terhouse store which is being repaired, on Mid
die street. An attempt had evidently been
made to set fire to this building. The City
Marshal, who has been quietly hunting up the
matter for some time past, is Convinced that
plan is on foot to start a large confagratlon,
and while it is progressing to plumber the city.
He has evidence in his possession which leaves
him no doubt as to this. For weeks past the
CITY has been infested by strangers. who have
no ostensible business, and who pass their
time in acquainting themselves with the city.
These men have of late apparently become sus
picous, and have suddenly absented themselves.
1t is we'll that they did so, for the Marshal has
spotted" them, and will arrest them should
they return. Every Saturday night gang of
Boston gamblers visit us, staying until Monday
morning, and picking up what loose cash they
can. 1t is snrmised that these 'fre-bugs" are
of them. Prompt measures have been taken to
guard against danger, the police have been put
upon the alert and the Marshal and his depu-
ties make inspections personally every night.
Every precaution has been taken to foil these
diabolical attempts, and with proper care the
danger will be avoided. Marshal Parker has
evineed great sagacity in ferretting out and
foiling these attempts, and in taking measures
to prevent their recurrence.
