AN IScESDIARY's ATTEMPTED WORK AT BRAN
DON.
A determined attempt was made Thurs
day night to burn the entire business portion
OF Brandon. About II o'clock it was found
that fire had been set in the rear Of Henry
f.. Bardy's store in the large scale works
building among barrels and boxes Candle
wick saturated with kerosene oil had been
freely used. The fire was discovered in time
to be easily eXtiuguished. About l o'clock q
second attempt was made, and but for the
vigilance of the night watchman it would
have succeeded. This time the fire was set
inside the store. A lighted lamp was found
under a large quantity Of matches. One of
the punches had been drawn from the shelf
80 to be directly over the lamp. When
discovered by the watchman the bunch OF
matches was already on fire. Above them,
reaching almost to the ceiling, was pile OF
paper bags and other mbustble material,
some OF which had already become charr' d.
In few minutes more a Are would have
been raging which would have destroyed
from SIS, 900 to 500 900 worth of property.
A barrel of molasses was found with the
spout open and the sweet liquid flowing over
the cellar, so that it is supposed that the in
cendiary turned II on installing it for the
kerosene oil barrel near by. The affair ere
ated intense excitement and Mr.. Bardy was
promptly arrested charged with setting the
fire. A short hesring was held in Briggs
Ormsbees law Office and in the evening al
another hearing held in the basement of the
town hall he was bound over in $1,000 10 ap

that without consulting any one he wished TO say
/ few words, and stated Ia lifting manner that the
PASTOR Rev. N d. Parsons, had received very ur-
gent and tempting call to a field Of labor In anoth-
/ er state that financially he would be much better
/ of to go, hut the church did not feel they could
spare him, and the executive committee were unAn-
inous In their wish that he remain with US. He then
said he wished for an expression from the large
| congregation present, and requested those who
were In favor OF his remaining 10 rise, both mem
/ beers OF the church and citizens, and with hardly
/ an exception the whole congregation rose en- their
/ feet; when seated the pastor came forward on the
platform, nearly overcome by this unexpected eX-
preston, and thanked the people for t,saying none
could know the struggle It bad cost him to decide
| the question, The call was unanimous, with more
! pay and less work But In view Of the urgent and
/ practically unanimOu request TO remain, and the
requests presented by the citizens of the town out
| side Of the church, he said he would stay. Many
| expressions OF thanks and congratulations were
