CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
An Incendiary Fire

PoTTsyILLE, Pa., March 2l-Four frame
stables. together with their contents. situated in
the most populous portion of the city were
burned to the ground last night. causing a loss loss
Of $1,000. Fortunately, no wind prevailed or
the result might have been serious conflagra-
tion as the place is surrounded by frame build
ings. The fire was of incendiary origin.
An unsuccessful attempt was also made to
burn down the Chronicle Office. Ma haniel MIN
mig and Joseph OConnor. the form dis
charged printer from the office, were arrested
for setting fire to the building. Both we're com
mltted to jail to-day without bail. The evidence
against them is very strong.

on the Prussian plan. as practically applied to
the citizens OF the United States.
The really interesting question will be, not
whether Schurz shall be allowed all the
money he wants to carry out his peculiar re-

to violate the law, and then trying to sustain
them in it.
