ARSON FOR REVENGE.
Young Roughs set Fire to "A Crowded New
York Tenement.
New York UeroldJ


The hives OF the seventy occupants OF the
tenement-hou No. - Clinton street were
endangered yesterday morning by fire OF
incendiary origin in the lower hall near
the base OF the first flight OF stairs. II is
believed that the fire was st'rted for Te-
vcnge bya dangerous gang OF young ruff
fans.
On the ground floor OF the tenemen. is a
grocery-store kept by Solomon Ellen,ohn.
Until recently a gang OF young rough|
were ia the habit OF congrcgating in front
OF his store at night and drinking beerfrom
the " growler.' When not drinking they
insulted passers-by. The neighbOrs COM
planned to the EIeyenth-precinct police;
but the patrolmen sent to drive the
roughs away, instead of doing their
duty, were often found drinking beer with
them. The grocer and the inmates OF the
house have had considerable trouble du-
ring the past few nights with the roughs.
and threats were made on both sides. On
Tuesday night, as usual, the rOwdleS were
st their usual haunt, but toward midnight
they began to disappear. At quarter-past
l2 the last Of them had gone. Fifteen
minutes later the fire was discovered.
Before leaving the roughs entered the
hall and broke a hole four by sixteen
inches in partition that separated Ellen
sOhn's store from the corridor. Through
this opening they inserted papers and
shavines saturated with Kerosene oil, which
they ignlted. but for some reason or other
the fire did not burn n expected. Then
the fire-Dugs started another fire agnn't
the wooden partition near the base OF the
stairs. This pile soon began to flame and
smoke.
In one OF the rooms at the head OF
the first flight OF stairs young WO-
man named LefkOwitz was reading. She
was alarmed by the smoke, and. open
Ing the door to ascertain where II came
from, she discovered the fire burning be-
low. Then she reused the occupants OF
the house. all OF whom fled toward the
roof. For a few minutes great excitement
prevailed in the tenement, and also among
the occupants OF rear houso. The premi-
ses were qnickly emptied, all the occupants
escaping In safety TO the roofs OF the neigh
boring buildings. The work OF putting
out the fire was quickly accomplished by
he firemen aud the damage done to the
house can he repaired for less than one
hundred dollars. An investigation was
made yesterday by Marshal sheldon,
and the ward detectives are searching for
the incendiaries.

The fact that the corporate authorities OF

A COLLIERY ON FIRE.
The buck Ridge Mine, owned BY the Read
ing Company, Greatly Damaged.

A Pottsville Pa. telegram OF Wednesday
says: In 1874 May. Audenried Il Co., OF
Shamokln, sunk the Buck Ridge Slope,
which proved TO be one OF the most profit
ahle individual operations In Northumber-
land county. Their lease expired some
four or five months ago, and the property
was purchased by the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company. This
morning ire was discovered In the slope ut
a depth OF over twelve hundred feet. The
fire originated IN the fan house, ard the
flames are rapidly ascending and this after
noon issued from the mouth OF the slope.
All the timbers which supported the roof
OF the mines have already been burned
away. Heavy falls OF top coal and r E are
constantly occurring, and so fercely is the
fire burning tonight that the roar Of the
fire can be heard quite distance.
Negotiations for the purchase OF the
Grcenback colliery. formerly owned and
operated by II. j. Tondv, have been pend
ing for some time, and this morning officials
representing the Coal and Iron Company
took possession Of the Greenback eolllery.

Whiting and other mining experts have
been at the scene OF the fire all day. aud it
has been decided to drive hole from the
Greenback into the workings OF the Buck
Ridge. distance Of some forty feet. which
II is expected will he completed by to-mor-
row night. when u creek will be turned
into the mines through this hole. An esti-
mate OF 'he loss TO the Coal and Iron Com
pany cannot now be made nor the exact eX-
tent OF the fire ascertained. Both the Green
back and Buck Ridge coliieries, which em-
ploy over six hundred men aud boys, will
be thrown out Of employment in conse-
quenee OF the fire.
By telegraph to the Dispatch.l
SHANoRIN, Pa, August 2l.-There was
a terrible accident at the burning Buck
Ridge mine to-day, seven men being
smothered by Gas. Fire broke ont yeSter-
day in the Buck Ridge slope at depth Of
l,j00 feet from the surface. The company
at once bought the Greenback coliery adj
Joining, the workings Of which are higher
than those OF the Buck Ridge collery. The
intention was TO bore hole 80 feet in length
lrcm the GrCenback to the Buck Ridge col.
liery, turn the creek into both collIeries,
and ly flooding them put out the fire.
While men were engaged in this work to-
day gas suddenly poured in from the burn
ing mines, and before they could escape
seven men fell victims TO the deadly gas.
Ii is impossible TO reach their bodies, ~
both the mines are now full Of Gas and the
fire is increasing. Eleven mules were also

BALTIMORE, August 2i.-By superior
play ing both at the bat and In the field the
Baltimore Club won their third consecu.
tive game from the Virginia team at Uriolc
Park to-day. In the first three innings the
game was very close and interesting.
Then the home team got down 10
work and piled up the base-hits.
From the second 10 the ninth
inning the yirginias did not get single
hit. and only twice IN the game did their
men cross the second base. Every min OF
the home team did remarkable work either
IN the field or at the bat. Burns, the new
man. made a good hit In the eighth inning,
and by his decr-like speed crossed the homo
plate before the ball could be delded 10.
Casey, also new man, had a good record
Of two single hits, three put-outs, snd no
errors. stearns surprised both himself and
the audience by making clean home-run
in the fourth inning. His playing was
good to-day, having 10 his credit two base
hits with a total OF five. eight put.outs and
no errors. Henderson and Trott, as the
battery, covered their ground well, both
playing Grst-class professional game.
Sommer, the only Baltimore. man credited
with su error, richly deserved II. In the
fifth inning Larkin struck a very slow ball,
which was fleided by Sommer, who, after
holding Il for some time. threw II 10 first
in such a wild way that II struck several
feet in front OF stearns, and went bound
ing past. Only one base was made by the
error. The Baltimores, with Henderson
and Trott as the boltery, will play the Al.
ieghenys tomorrow afternoon. Appended
is the score:
