The BARRIERS fail to see on what

LTGHTWOOD IN THE BEDS.
THE ATTEMPT TO BURN CHAT
HAM ACADEMY A BAD JOB.

Pieces of Charred Pine Found Under the
Mattresses in Both OF the Bedrooms
Complete Evidence shat the Fire was
the Work of an IncendiarY.
The mysterious fire at the Chatham
Academy Friday night was matter of
thorough investigation yesterday, but no
clue was obtained to the incendiary. The
damage was very slight, and had 1t not
been for the timely discovery OF the
flames the result might have been very
disastrous.
There is no doubt but that the origin
was iucendiary. Under each OF the TWO
mattresses a piece Of lightWood SIX or
eight inches long was found. one end OF
each stick was charred, proving beyond
u doubt that the mattresses were urea ~
luenus Of these epliuter5. superintendent
Baker stated that he did not Know VINO
L. suspect The colored jcnitor W allace
thinks that it was some one who has
vruage either against him or the two men
who have been sleeping in the building at
night Neither Of these are believed 10 be
guilty.
The chief difficulty in obtaining clues
is tie absence OF q motive. Nothing was
stolen. Snd the theory that the pl0ce was
nred TO conceal a burglary Is untenable.
How the iucendiary got into the building
Is as much mystery as who he is. The
most probable theory is that access was
through the Pavilion hotel and across the
yard on the south side OF the academy.
The rooms in which the fire occurred are
on the north side OF the building, and
could have been easily entered from South
Broad street, although the chances OF de-
lection would have been much greater,
especially while escaping.
Had fra occurred earlier IN the
night il might have been attributed to
malicious boys. The idea that the in
cendiary wished to burn both the
academy and hotel is hardly plausible,
for an attempt would have been made to
fire the hotel in that case.
The firemen did not recognize the two
men who first reported the fire, but would
like TO see them again, thinking that per-
haps they might have seen some one leaY-
ing the premises. The fremen firmly
believe that there is gang OF trebugs III
the southern section OF the city, and it is
barely possible that this was the work OF
one OF the gang.
The incendiary was evidently well &C
quainted with the premises and the build
ing. This fact directed suspicion at
first to the two negroes who occupy the
rooms in which the fire occurred but who
were abeent when the fire broke out. An
examination OF these two convinced the
superintendent that they We're not con-
nectsd with the crime. Neither OF them
has ever been reprimanded and no mo-
tive could be assigned to them. The
academy is quite an old building, having
been erected nearly a century ago.
