Policeman Rosenberg, on post near the

heard a shout, and going H. the direction
OF the sound found the people rushing
out of the house, the halls of which were
filled with smoke. He turned In an
alarm and the engines responded
promptly.
The fire was in the cellar, and the
flames were pouring up the stairs which
led to the first floor. The housekeeper
smelled the smoke, and aroused the ten
ants. The fire was eXtinguished before
more than 800 damage had been done.
Then the firemen made an investiga-
ton, and found that the cellar had been
literally soaked with kerosene oil. Two
cans were found which yet contained
some of the oil. One was In the cellar

Gen. Price decided to take II by as

The attacking force on arriving within

Gen. Price, strange to say, resolved
that the assault should be renewed, and

that the artillery should cooperate in
