A most diabolical attempt at incendi-
arism, by which 200 lives were imperiled,
was BY mere accident frustrated at Utica,
N. Y. The Odd Fellows, whose rooms
are on the third floor Of the Exchange
building, were celebrating the anniversary
Of the founding Of the order. The men,
bers, with their wives and children to
the number of 200, were in the rooms,
which are reached by narrow stairway.
At 1890 o'clock, member, stepping
outside the ante room, saw light on the
landing below. Going down. he found
some matches burning and flames starting
from the floor and the smell of kerosene.
After stamping the fire out an examina.
ton revealed the fact that the hallway
for distance OF several feet, and entirely
across the only exit to the street, had
been saturated with kerosene and that
matches had been scattered thickly over
the entire space. If the discovery had
been minute later the only way OF es.
cape for the people in the Odd Fellows
Hall, except by jumping from the fourth.
story windows, would have been barred
by the flames. The affair was not re-
ported to the assemblage and it broke
up in ignorance of the danger it had es-
capped.
