TRIED TO BURN
Tenants Of q Brown Stone House
Badly Frightened. :
Wood Sprinkled with Kerosene and
Set on Fire.


Tenants of the ~brownstone apartment
house at 3i6 West %rlfty-n!nth street
were greatly disturbed this morning over
an attempt to burn them out at mid
night last night. Just before 10 o'clock
fire was discovered In a vacant room
on the fourth floor by persons living
across the street.
Cries OF "Fire!' aroused some OF the
tenants of the fiat. and a policeman In
the street sent in an alarm. Janitor
Fredericks was then awakened. He ran
upstairs hammering on the doors as he
went along.
The sleeping tenants tumbled out OF
their beds and rushed out into the halls
badly frightened. Some OF them fed
to the street. The janitor and some
OF the men a ran to the vacant
room in the fourth noor, where a fierce
fire was found burning in the kitchen.
The flames were shooting up to the cell
ing and had attacked the woodwork
around the stationary washtubs.

pulled down part OF the wall to make
sure that there was no more fire,
1t was then discovered that the blaze
been, started in of the washtubs,
in which had been placed a box OF ashes.
on top Of the ashes had been piled
sticks Of kindling wood sprinkled with
kerosene.
The object of putting ashes In the tub
was, II Is supposed. to make II appear
that the blaze had been started by hot
ashes.
Janitor Fredericks said to-day tina
the box and the wood must have been
carried into tn" kitchen by the person
who started the fire. as the fiat had been
thoroughly cleaned. and there was
nothing left in any OF the rooms. He
was in the fiat several times yesterday
with parties looking at the rooms, At I
i. NJ. he SHOWED a man through the nat
and lifted up the covers OF the wash
tubs There was nothing In the tubs at
that time.
Although Fredcricks locked the doors
OF the house at 10 +. NJ, he says tina
when some OF the tenants ran down
stairs after tho alarm was given the
front door was open.
The fire did not do much more than

Another West India Cyclone Con.

Another West indian hurricane or cy-
immediate future. 1t would not sur

New York by Tomorrow. There are in
dications that the West Indies have
created another storm of q circular type.
and at last accounts It was bound north
and shaping its ourse along the already
terribly ravaged Southern coast.
Inspector J. w. Smith, Of the United
States Weather Bureau. who Is at pres
cnt filling the position OF local forecast
official. as Sergeant Dunn has not yet
returned from his leave Of absence, said
to an Evening World reporter to-day:
There is evidence that another cyclone
Is raging In the South. There was a
very heavy rainfall In Tampa n Key
West. Fla. yesterday and reports re-
oeived late last night showed that the
storm area had extended over northern
Florida.
The storm is evidently working this
way. Al last accounts It's northern
OF Savannah. Our reports from the
South are very late this morning, Until
they arrive we, cannot learn definitely
what rogress the storm has made
Mr.. Smith said ne could not under
stand why the reports from the South
should BE- delayed unless the Geographic
communication had been interrupted by
the storm. The barometer was falling
this morning and the wind was north
East. still Inspector Smith says that II
II were not for the threatened cyclone
from the South he would say that the
weather tomorrow would be fair.
A fog shrouded East and North Rivers
and the upper and lower bays this morn
ing. II Vas not thick enough TO endan-
ger harbor navigation. on Sandy Hook
the fog was very dense. and steamships
bound In and out OF port kept their
whistles going. while the constant clang-
ing OF bells showed that there were a
number OF sailing vessels IN that vicin-
ity.
The fog In itself is not a circumstance
that gives alarm to mariners, aside
from the danger OF collision or running
ashore that II entails. 1t Is simply a
cloud resting Upon the surface OF land or
water instead OF hanging at a high alti-
tude over either. The fog this morn
ing was caused by the fact that the land
was a lower temperature than the ocean.
n the easterly winds blowing in from
the sea. and laden with moisture, struck
a colder atmospheric current along the
coast, and the process of partial con-
d~ensation that followed produced the
fog.

spective teams, but the average I'M

matter by simply Tipping up a coin
and be in no danger of disappointment.
