TnE IncENpIARY AGAIN.
Two Attempts to Burn Out FeiIheimer
Cigar Store Ia a Avsek


Another cowardly attempt was made
this morning to burn the cigar store of
Samuel Fellheimer, No. S0S Market
street.
1t will be remembered that about 10
o'clock on the night OF Wednesday,
August 10, slight fire was discovered
in the cellar Of No. 30S Market street,
which was extinguisned without the as,
sistance of the Fire Department Every
circumstance connected with the origin
Of that fire indicated it to be the act of
an incendiary. A more suitable time was
selected for the second attempt to carry
ont this nefsrious design.
At3f5 o'clock this morning two news
boys we're passing the store and saw
smoke issuing from the building They
at once ran to the City Hall and told
Officer Stewart, who hurried to Third
and King streats, and sent in the alarm
from box No 81, this first alarm from that
box. In the meantime Fellneimer him
self, who, with his clerk, John d Orr,
was asleep in the third story. discovered
that the house was on FIRE, and secured a
few articles of clothing and hurried
towards the back yard and into the
street. Orr reached box No 81 Just as
Officer Stewart had sent in the alarm
The Fire Department promptly re-
sponded A line Of hose was taken
through the store Of No 3l0 occupied
by Samuel Levy, aud stream was
poured into the cellar from the rear.
Another stream was sent ia from the
front cellar window and in twenty min
utes the fire was extingaished
The loss is slight. The stock is valued
at 50, 600 and the insurance amounts TO
$3. 500. or this $500 was put on imme-
diately after the last attempt was made
to burn the building. No boxes or rub
bish Of any kind was left in the cellar
after the fre.on Wednesday night, and
II Is probable that the failure Of this last
attempt at inceudiarism was due to this
cause.
The cellar Of Nc. 30s is divided into
two parts by brick wall, which parts
are connected by door In The centre OF
this wall. Against this door the fire
was built on Wednesday night. aud it
was stated that but for the ill-chosen
spot on which the FIRE was placed it
would have been more serious This
morning the fire was put in the back
part of the cellar, so as to catch the rear
0 the building and therefore less liable
TO discovery until the flames would be
well under way. Both Fellheimer and
Orr agree that the failure Of the FIRE is
due to the scarcity Of infammable
material in the cellar, but they say they
have no idea as TO the motive which
prompted the deed.
Samuel Levy. wife and child were
asleep in the building No. $40 Market
streets Mrs Levy was awakened by
her child, who was restless from mos
quito bits, and then she discovered that
the house was fun OF smoke In a few
minutes they were dressed and out of
harms way. Mr. Fellheimer SAYS he viii

which will lead to the detection of the
criminals. and the EVENING JOURNAL

THE OUTLOOK.

Conservative Republicans Admit that this DEM

Working Mel ,rity.
The Dying Campaign.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The departme are
busy just now prepering their annual reports TO
submit to congress in December. but at the
same time the secretaries and assistant secre-
taries are displaying lively interest in the
campaign, which is now rapidly approaching q
close. A treasury official to-day in comment
ing on the political fight now in progress, made
the following observations: 1.-THE Repub licans
have few things to annoy them which the
Democrats are free from. In the first place, at
the last election, which was presidential as we'll
congressional, they gut forth all their efforts
to get the house and succeeded by a narrow
margin. They did the best they could, and they
have no especial reason for thinking hey can do
better now, but since they won that
slender victory there has been some
redstrictiug which puts them at q
disadvantage. They have more work
to do to accomplish the same result they
brought about in the last campaign. Again they
ara now annoyed in nearly every district by
some qusrrel over postoffice appointments, and
in the districts where the vote is close dis
affection this account may influence the re-
suit. several districts may be lost to them in
this way
This official is one OF the conservative Re-
pubicans who virtually admit that the Demo-
Gratis will have the next house by q working ma
lority.
