Has Belfast a Fire Bug?

The many incendiary fires in this city
ought to excite more attention than they
appearto. DO our people know that with
in about "a twelve month there have been
six dangerous fires, all undoubtedly of in
cendiary origin? They are the Howard
Co.'S buildings, Woods, Mathews and Co. 5
hay barns, the old building in the rear OF
Manstields shops, the Marshall building
on High street, the Pierce building near
the bridge, and the Angler building last
Saturday morning. lncendiary fires are
for revenge, for plupder, or from a mania
for seeing property destroyed. The fires
in this city do not point to a class TT to
individuals sufficiently strong to make re-
venge apparent They do not, unless we
include the great fires of 1860 and 1873.
destroy a class of buildings that would be
likely to afford plumber, although they are
always liable to spread beyond all control
We are then narrowed down to the last
class, Of which a specimen occasionally
appears in different portions of the coun-
try, known az fire bugs" They are the
most dangerous of incendiarics
Recently, the Navy Department build
ing, at Washington, has been three times
on fire, in the most mysterious manner
Investigation shcw that che Of the mes
sengers was fire bug, who had amused
himself in setting the building on fire. A
couple of years ago the city of Newbury-
port had series of mysterious fires; they
grew so common that the city government
offered very heavy reward, a safety COM
mittee was formed, and a skilled detective
employed. The officer watched and work
ed until he laid his hands upon a ship
carpenter named Choate, with the proof
convict him. He is now in the Massa-
chusetts State Prison, and the fires have
ceased
1t is believed by some that these fires
are the work of thoughtless young men,
who set the fires, perhaps when in liquor,
for the excitement of an engine contest.
lhoughtless young me n should know that
the shed fired on Saturday morning was
i-o't-1.- of ( oiii-i7 iv''ov, thus making
the crime arson, the punishment for which
varies from hanging to imprisonment for
lite. If the occupant of 4 house should
discover a thoughtless young man in such
a crime, and should kill him on the spot,
the law would hold the slayer harmless
Take the case in its best aspect. and
here can be no doubt that our city is in
tested by one OF more Of the fire bug spe-
cies. The danger OF sweeping and APP
palllng disaster is very great Nothing
but great good fortune averted such a
calamity on Saturday. Had the fire got
well under way in that nest of old wood
en- buildings, with the short supply of
water, the direct interposition Of PROV
idence might have saved US, but nothing
short of that could have suilced.
We call the attention OF the city GOV
eminent, OF property owners, Of people
generally to this matter, because we do
not believe that public attention is awake
to the magnitude Of the existing danger
The city has a sufficiently undesirable
fame for serious danger from fires, with
out permitting a fire-bug to prowl by
night unmatched and unhindered.

Gen. Hall, of Waldoboro. is u consistent
teetotaller. He don't believe in crying
"good Lord and good Devil'-or that
the state should inprison one man for
selling rum, and reward another for doing
the same thing. We like the vim of the
Generals talk IN the late temperance con-
vention at Augusta when he said
One of your resolutions now before this con
Ventlon denounces i'll strong terms the use of
alcoholic stimuents medicine, even when
prescribed by physician That being the case,
Ill Heavens name what longer use can there be
| for our present legazed rum shop known as
the State Agency? For one, | say abolish it.,
and no longer make every man, woman and child
OF the state a rum seor. AS it now stands,
our governor by reason Of his position becomes
the eX-otfico grand bar tender, and the menu
bers of the legislature as they are elected from
time to time, become the tap tenders of the
institution.
Say you. ''all that the agency deals out is for
medicine? Then | answer, Judging the health
OF our people by the amount of rum sold by
the agency, Maine would become depopulated
entirely III less than five years. For mercy :
sake let us not with one hand clutch our neigh
bors who sells few glasses and force him
into Jail, while with the other hand we
are dealing out under the sanction of law
through an agency, the same kind of destruc-
ton to our felowmen. This is not consistent
with the declaration of all true temperance
people: it is not in keeping with the principle
| OF total abstinence-the only sure ground for
us to stand upon; neither is it honest, right or
| Just Either you must stand by absolute pro-
hlbltion, or else you, by camoring for an
| agency, proclaim in favor OF partial license
Do we hear some strong friend of pro-
hibition charge that the man who says this
is rummy? BUTT so happ ems that Gen.
Hall is temperance man who never in
his life used liquor, even incidentally
Such man can afford to have an opinion,
and to be outspoken about it. We see that

feel the sting of his remarks, are already
attacking him.

WE ARE informed that Capt. WILSON
is trying to manufacture capital for HIM
self among the people in Brooke county,
on the plea that he was Il friend to the
p. W. X Ky, Railroad.
This is thin, Captain. The people up
there have not forgotten the report which
YOU made to the Board.of Supervisors in
November, 1871, which report was uni
yersally regarded bv the friends of the
Road rs a severe stab (intcndcd TO be Il
fatal onel under the fifth rib of the en-
tcrprisc. The h,tsllige'ccr, IN printing
your report at the time, dcnominated It
AS "a pretty chapter of duphcity and
trininc with public interests.
Nor have tho people up along the line
of this road forgotten that, when 1t was
proposed that Ohio county should sub
scribe $4,000 to pay of the debts of the
Company to save the enterprise from
being utterly sacrificed, you joined Win
other enemies of public improvements IN
getting out an injunction TO prevent the
Commissioners making the subscription.
The friends of the enterprise then ap-
pealed directly TO the people, and at "
popular vote upon the subject the pco-
plc, by a majority of something like five
to one, rcpudrated you and your set, and
ordered the subscription to be made.
A pretty piece of demagoguery tbcg
pardon, strategy, to attempt to make
capital out of a measure you have spared
no pains to defeat. That sounds metallic
of the brass species.
