a $4,000 FIRE.
An Incerdary Sets Fire TO DIR. Croskey's House
And Barn 1his Morniug.

At nearly o'clock this morning an
alarm came in from the residence of Dr.
Croskey, 101S North Market street, and
fire company No. 1 responded. Upon the
chief reaching there he saw what he had
to cope with and turned in q general
alarm.
Both the house and barn were completely
enyeloped in the flames. the BARN completely
destroyed while the house is practically
destroyed s., 500 worth OF furniture in it
being completely destroyed. AS the fire
occurred when the local page Of the EAGLE
was closed the particulars cannot be given
as fully as the extent and destructiyeness
Of the blaze would warrant. DIR.
Crosby thinks the fire department
did not turn out sufficiently
strong but the department claims
that it being out OF No. district that
company could not respond until sent for
which the chief did when he saw what be
had to cope with. The barn was insured
for 81, 900, the house for 81 900 and the fur
niture for 81, so, but outside OF this Dr..
Croskey estimates his loss at sc, 900 at the
very least. The house was set on fire from
the north side and the doctor says it is I'M
questionably the work OF an incindiary.

A NOVEL AND CLEVER SCHEME.
A Colored Man and His . wo Sons ARRESTED Yes
terday for Stealing Harness.

| Evil disposed ipeople seem TO have a
mania this season for stealing harness.
/ There is not q day passes but what some
one does not make complaint to the Off
GERS about having suffered the loss of sc.
of harness. Yesterday Tom Brock, who
| lives on the Cowskin. came TO town and
reported to the officers the loss of set of
| harness, horse. blankets and sundry other
things Constables Voss and Metcaif
started out at once in pursuit Of trio Of
colored people who were seen in the neigh
| borhood shortly before the harness were
stolen. Four or five miles from town they
| ran across man and two
| boys who answered the description given
| them and they matted them The Office rs
looked into the bed of the wagon, but
could see no harness They were abous to
go away and leave the colored people 10
pursue their travel, when a rooster crowed
and betrayed Peter; for Peter Allen was
the name of the colored man who owned
and drove the team. Constables Voss and
Netcalf couldn't for the life Of them locate
the whereabouts of the Growing rooster,
for they were nowhere near house of any
kind. They looked everywhere around
the neighborhood for the mysterious
rooster, bat could SEE him nowhere. He
crowed again, and the noise having come
from the wagon, they made further ex-
animation and, to their surprise and graf
ifcatior, they found that the wagon
had false bottom They went
to work and found the combination that
admitted them to the mysteries Of this
false wagon and in the cavity between
the upper and lower floors of the vehicle
found a regular menagerie Of stuff, includ-
ing lot of chickens and Mr.. Brooks bar
ness. The latter gentleman was there
present when his harness was pulled out.
and he instantly recognized his property
" hen the colored gentry were questioned
about the harness they stated they had
just bought it a short while before from
a white man. There has not been time
since the introduction Of the African into
this land that stolen goods were
found in their possession that they
did not instantly claim to have bought
il from white man, and officers
have got 80 we'll used to this
claim that it is to them the best evidence
of guilt. Another peculiar thing is the
fact that none of them have been able to
locate the white men they bought from.
The trio were brought into town and lodg
ed in Jail while their horses, wagon, chick
ems and one hundred and one other things.
evidently stolen property. were put up at
Lee Cones barn pending an examination.
Constable Voss says that he has seen
good many novel schemes adopted to hide
stolen goods but none so clever as the
wagon with the false bottom. Allen
