ATTEMPTED ARSON.
An Incendiary Tried to Burn a Double
Tenement House.
Many Lives Put In Jeopardy by the
Cowardly Miscreant-The Flames
Quickly Extinguished.

An attempt was made early this morn
ing TO destroy the building at 90 Charles
street by fire. The structure is one OF
series OF 2-story wooden houses, occupied
by Hebrews, and stands upon the pro-
perty under discussion at present
In the proposed plans for widening Charles
street In one part OF the house lives l..
ID. Rodenski and family while the upper
portion is occupied by Jacob Berman and
family.
Shortly after 2 o'clock Mrs. Rodenski
was awakened by noises in the entryway.
The stairs affording access to the upper
part of the house pass directly by the wall
of the Rodenski sleeping room, and Mrs.
Rodenski was awakened by series OF
thumps upon the partition. One oil
the children commenced TO cry
and the woman got up To attend II. She
discovered that the infant was choking
and was almost unconscious.
A cloud OF dense smoke was in the apart
ment and Mrs. Rodenski fastened to the
door TO admit fresh air. As she threw
open the door rush OF binding smoke
enveloped her, and the hall, she saw, was
filled with flames.
She shrieked to her husband, and then
catching up the children plunged through
the store in the front of the house, and
gained the street in safety. Rodenski,
awakened by the cries OF his wife, took In
the situation at a glance and at once at
tempted to awaken the family above. The
fire had gained good headway by this time
and was cracking merrily as 1t consumed
the stairs. Berman heard the shouts OF
warning and joined in with Rodenski in
putting out the fire. A liberal applica-
tion OF water soon extinguished the
blaze. Officer Reardon was called in and
made an investigation. He found that a
large clot hes basket had been filled with
waste paper and chunks of wood and had
been set at the foot of the stairs. The basket
was almost entirely burned and the stairs
were badly charred, and in some places
burned through.
The fire was undoubtedly started by an
incendiary and the noise made by the plac-
ing the basket at the foot of the stairs was
what awakened Mrs. Rodenski.

The Water Question and the DiIatory
Action OF the Committee.
The President Willing TO Give Them
All the Information They Want If
They Apply TO Him.

One OF the most important question in
volved In our town meeting on Saturday
will be the water question. AT our last
town meeting committee
was appointed consisting of several
of our leading business men
to wait upon Mr.. George III. Norman and
get what information they could and re-
port to some subsequent meeting
OF the tax payers in regard to the purchase
OF the plant. Quite time elapsed and
nothing was done by that august body
but the chief OF police and his assistant
visited all the patrons of water and as
certained how many faucets they were
using SO as TO enable the committee TO
make a report. The task could be
easily performed as far as private
residences were concerned, but when
the corporations were waited upon by this
subcommittee no information could be
gained; they then approached the local
no success as the agents were
not employed TO act in that capacity.
The president OF the Bristol and Warren
water works without hesitation offers to
meet the committee at any time they see
fit to make a date, showing very willing
disposition to aid the town in any ar
rangemepts they proposed.

The NEWS PRIZE STORY.
Manuscripts Are Now Being Put
Through "A Final Examination.

The two best stories written for The
News, by pupils of the public and private
schools of the State, will shortly be an
nounced. The work OF examination OF the
three score and more manuscripts re-
ceived has not been an easy task although
an interesting one. In the first place the
editors of THE NEWS had to go
over them all and make first
selection. This selection was not
close one, but il eliminated few of the
stories from the opportunity OF getting
the gold prizes. The work was long
one because the editors OF THE NEWS have
good many other things TO attend TO and
besides some of the stories had TO be read
over several times TO secure for them
their full value among so many. Now the
selection has been reduced to half dozen
and Mr.. A. NJ. Williams and Major Frank
VI. Harcourt, the majority OF the commit
tee, have these half dozen in hand for a
final selection.
One of the difficulties incident to
selection was the great variety
of subjects treated Had all
been written on the same theme the
best might have been p'cked out before
this. But in The NEWS competition the
subject as well as its treatment was one
OF the factors, so that opportunity
might be given to diverse talents.
The author of a romance is pro-
badly incapable of writing history,
and so THE NEWS competition gave OPP
portunity to select theme most accept
able to individual talent, and then pro-
posed to pass upon the question of the
most interesting theme, and then on the
treatment of the respective themes them
selves. The result is big variety of
classes of literature-as we'll as variety
of treatment in the same lines.
The manuscripts comprise history, BIZ
ography, analytical studies, fairy stories,
romance, "love stories," stories of ad-
venture, boys" stories and
"girls' stories, fantasies, travels and
no end of little novelettes of the realistic
school. 1t has been comparatively easy to
select the best from each kind but difficult
to select the best kind.
In a few days, however, THE NEWS ex-
poets to be able to announce, on behalf of
its committee, the completion OF their in
teresting task
