NcBNDIARIES AGAIN.
THEY ATTEMPTED TO BURN EERRS PLANNING
MIL,
At First and Hanover Streets, Martins Ferry This
Norning-Ths Fire EZdnguishsd With
Great Officially.

Incendiariss again attempted TO op-
crate on an extensive scale in Martins
Ferry, this morning, and it was not
their fault that another extensive in
dustry OF that town is not in ashes At
this writing.
Just about two o'clock police officers
discovered blaze ia the rear Of Kerr's
planning mill. and an alarm was turned
in from box %. 10 which the department
promptly responded.
They found that the fire had OBJ
tanned good start, in position
which required the removal OF lot OF
lumber before it could be well gotten at
but by dint OF great eXertiOn the fiames
were subdued before much damage
had been done. An eXamina-
tiOn Of the locality resulted in
the discovery OF lot Of oil and
grease-s0aked waste, with which the
fire had been started, showing beyond
q doubt that there had been q deIiber-
ate and well-lsid plan to burn the ex-
tensive plant, which lies diagonally
across Hanover street from the scene
OF Friday mornings fire az the Buck
eye works, and which covers about q
quarter OF q square Of ground.
The plant is now owned by the Kerr
Bros. Lumber Company, and formerly
belonged to James Kerr, father OF A.
w. and r. L. Kerr. A. w. Kerr was
until lately Secretary Of the Buckeye
Glass Company, but left that company a
couple Of weeks ago to take an active in
terest IN the conduct Of the mill.
The prompt quenching OF the fire
was largely due 10 the efforts OF an i'm
promptu bucket brigade, which got TO
work before the arrival OF the fremen.
The facts attending the fire 60 long
ways toward confirming the suspicion
aud belief that the Buckeye fire was
the work Of an iuceud.ary.
Officer Lindemuth discovered this
mornings blaze, and he and the watch
man at the Buckeye factory saw man
running down First street. It. was not
until he disappeared that they saw the
fire. The officer thinks he recognized
the fugitive, and the matter will be
looked into to-day.
