ATTEMPTED ARSON.
A House Saturated with Coal Oil ana
r. Then Set On Fire.

At half-past clock yesterday fire broke
out in the attic Of the double tenement cottage
No. 800 BaronDe street. The house was owned
by Mrs Mary Dunn, and occupied by negro
woman named Ann Phillips. The property
was only slightly damaged. Insured in the
Hibernia Insurance Company for $500.
1t would seem, from the following, that this
fire was an attempt mt arson
Officer Block, on discovering the fire, wenton
he roof OF the kitchen and attempted TO force
an entranoeint the room by forcing open the
window in the attic, which was secured on the
inside. When an entrance was finally effected
1t was found that the room had been saturated
with coal oil, and also q lot OF cotton cloth
saturated with coal oil had been spread along
both sides of the attic, under the ewes Of the
roof.
Another bolt of the cotton cloth, also satu-
rated with the oil, was found leading from
trap door in Mrs. DuDn's bedroom, and was
connected with the cloths under the caves of
the house.
It Is impossible to get into the attic except
by means Of the trap door above described.
It is evident the fire was started at the trap
door, and by accident the flames failed to
reach the cloths under the caves Of the roof.

for himself for receipt OF the navigation
canal bridges and that he had declined 10 ao-
cept the receipt sent to his office by Admins
traitor Cavanac and signed by him tMr

Mr.. Cayanac tells q very different story.

of January. he was waited upon by Mr.. Flynn,
the private secretary Of Administrator Nc
Gssffrey vino told him that Mr.. MsCatfrey
wished To turn the bridges over TO him lad.
ministrator Cavanacl and that he wanted to
know whether he lMr. Oavanae) would give
him receipt for the same. Mr. Flynn also
wanted to know whether Mr.. Cavanao would
give q receipt, saying that the bridges we're
received In good condition.
Mr.. Cavatlae replied that he would not give
o receipt for thebridges IN good condition, but
Mr.. Qavanao says be- did give Mr.. Flynn
q receipt Ia acknowledgment of the delivery
Of the bridges. Mr.. Cavanae adds that on
Monday, the second Of january. the receipt
that he had given to Mr.. McCaifrey was rs-
turned TO him with the information from Mr..
McCaifrey that the receipt was not in q form
to satisfy him (Mr. MoCaffrey), and that he
tMr. Mccartney would accept another in an
other form, which proposition he tMr. Cava-
utieD declined to consider. q,

TILE IDENTIFTGATION OF OUTFITS.
Miss Martha Ellsworth Tydings. the young
lady who, it Is alleged, was Outraged" at the
National Hotel last spring, appeared before
the grand jury yesterday morning, and con-
fronted Major e. II. Curtis, the alleged author
Of her wrongs She positively and completely
identified him as the man who Outraged" her,
and he was accordingly re-indieted under his
real name and his aliases Of T.. FL. Ray and E.
II. Houghton and he will be arraigned imme-
diately It Is not at oil improbable that the
evidence In the case may develop some new
features. It Is not the time or place to hint of
anything beyond the simple fact that judg-
ment concerning Curtis Is considerably slis-
pended.
