Another bold attempt was made last
night TO start fire, and but for the vigl.
lance OF Officer Feeney OF Station 8,
the fire department would have
had a hard fight. AS he was passing
along Julian street about 10 O'Clock he
saw light in the rear OF the
the building at No. 90. He investigated II
and found an clubhouse where fire had
just been set and was burning
the blaze. The incendiary had
saturated what appeared to be
an undershirt with oil and
stuffed il In the partition. The outbuild-
ing is situated between two barns
and the wind was blowing toward
them. A few minutes later and the hay
in the barns would have caught and then
il would have been even chances with the
gale blowing il the fire had not swept the
square. There IL a general feeling OF un-
easiness over these repeated attempts at
fires, and it is hoped the fire bug may be
caught.
The Sewer Hearing.
An interesting hearing on the proposed
sewer was held last evening at the office OF
Judge w. A. Phillips ana goodly num-
Der were present to discuss the question.
Mr.. Bowen had prepared plans for brick
sewer "a inches in diameter from
the junction with the city sewer
TO corner OF Hartford avenue and
Plainfield street From there, TO
the railroad crossing, it will be 10 inches
in diameter, and is intended only for
house sewage. Another sewer Will be
constructed, beginning at Odd Fellows
square, that is TO be known as a Hood
in"e'' in diameter ne WI" at '' the start,
increasing to As inches at the outlet in
Woonasquatucket river, and this Will pass
the end of the other sewer opening into
it. Ordinary sewerage would pass down
this and into the city sewer, but on occa-
sion,ofa heavy rain fall it would relieve the
the river. This could be extended to the
end of Plsinfield street IL desired. There
is large territory to be drained and this
system Is planned for this.
The estimated cost OF this work will be
not over $4,000. The Business Mems
Association are agitating the question
and the matter is to be brought up at the
financial town meeting.

Razors in the Air.
The barber shop OF Phillip G.. Murdick
was entered last night by thieves
carried of amongst other plunder 25
razors and four pair of clippers. No
