INCENDIARIEs PERSISTENT.
Second Time in Week They Fired
Johnson's Lumber Ynrd

Second Time in a Week They Fired
Johnson's Lumber Yard.
An attempt was made yesterday morn
ing, for the second time within a week,
10 set fire TO the extensive lumber aud
wood yards of johnson Bros, on Water
street between Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets southwest. That the two attempts
We're unsuccessful is only due TO the vigil
auce OF the watchmau employed at the
yards.
Last Sunday 1t was found that a lot OF
chips had been gathered into a pile and
set fire TO, inside the yards, evidently
with lucendiary intentions. The fire was
discovered before it had time TO COM
munIcate 10 any of the adjoining lumber or
buildings, aud was extinguished without
. the aid OF the fire department
Early yesterday morning another fire
was discovered, this time in corner OF the
MIL building, which is an immense frame
structure about midway OF the SQUARE
on the south side OF the street. This build
ing is surrounded on all sides by huge piles
OF lumber aud by smaller buildings and had
theflames been nallowed togaiDany headway
an immense conflagration would have
epsued.
lot OF waste paper had been stuffed
with some pine boards ID corner OF the
building but the paper had evidently burned
up before the boards caught, as they were
ouly scorched, while the paper was in ashes
No one was in sight when the evidence
OF the incendiary fire was discovered, al
though it could have been lighted but a few
minutes before. The fire occurred about
O'Clock in the morning.
A very disastrous fire took place last
April outhe same premises when hestables
belonging to the yards Were almost de-
stroyed, and a great deal OF damage done
by couflagration supposed to have been
OF inceDdiary origin: Every effort was
made at the time TO discover the mis-
creants who caused the fire, but they were
unsuccessful

His Horse, Scared by Il Trolley Car,
Overthrow His Vehicle.
An exciting and serious runaway occurred
on New York avenue near New Jersey
avenue northwest, about 4 O'Clock last
evening in which Mark Hall, surveyor,
was badly Injured.
a large horse hitched TO a District
Engineer Department wagon, driven by
Hall aud containing another surveyor and
several surveying instruments, was trotting
down New York avenue when trolley car
came along. TIE changing bell must have
frightened the horse for with sudden bolt
it madiy dashed down the avenue, nearly
colliding with pedestrians and vehicles.
Mr.. Hall vainly tried TO stop the animal,
seeing that 1t was only a matter of so
many seconds before it would meet some
obstruction which would result in a mishap.
Near Second street the horse made a
quick turn ard the wagon careened over
throwing Mr.. Hall ard his brother sur
veyOr on the asphalt and breaking two
side wheels from their aXles
Mr.. Hall, who was the more severely
hurt, was taken to his home, correr OF
Fourth street and Florida avenue north

was not Injured, but the Instruments were

LIVELY MILL IN PROSPECT.

Htte Peckham and Jack Nolan VIII
Try Conclusions.
Sporting enthusiasts OF the District
are very much interested in fight that will
come off this evening al the Henry Athletic
Club in Alexandria.
The principals in the go are Hite Peck
ham, OF Alexandria, q fighter full of grit
and endurance, and Jack Nolan, a stranger
in these parts, who holds the much-coveted
welterweight championship OF Australia.
Both OF these men have a reputation for
sticking TO the game till the last horn blows,
and it may be relied upon that some tall
fighting viii have to be done before either
Que OF them has his ut putout or throws up
the sponge.
Nolan is under the wing OF Red Alexander,
the man who brought Young Griffo TO this
country TO shy his castor before America s
pugilistic Founders. Peckham has never
been licked in this vicinity and there are
not a few people who are pinning their
faith aud money on his chances.

With Il Serious Accident.
A horse attached to a buggy containing
James Lamb and Richard Kerr became
frightened on the Columbia road near

The animal in its mad flight broke the

down but not injured.
When near Nineteenth street road the

though not dangerously burned in an ac-
cideut at his home, No 743 Sixth street

fellow and left him resting comfortably.
Mrs. MorGG-a was busy on the first floor
of their home last night aud left the bady
on the lounge near the window up stairs.
Half an hour later she heard him crying
hard as + frightened or hurt aud ran TO
his rescue.
She was terrified to find him surrounded
with burning cloth and his clothing partly
burned off. With great presence of mind
she seized blanket from the bed and
wrapped the baby in it and then threw a
feather bed over the bits of flaming cotton
fabric scattered around BY this prompt
measure she probably saved the house from
being burned.
The accident had occurred by the wind

sidcred Laaf NIGHT.

sidered Last Night.
The meeting Of Carpenters Council, which
took place last night at their hail, No 627
Massachusetts avenue northwest, was I'M
usually well attended, and there was much
interest In the proceedings. committee
was appointed to prepare a list of the en-
ploying carpenters in the city who are will
Ing to employ union labor exclusively, and
also those that are not. These lists will be
designated as flair" and unfair and will
be given circulation by means of pamph-
lets, of which one will be sent to every
architect, every builder who has work in
progress or who contemplates having any
done, and every corporation of which IL
may become known that it intends to give
out any labor contracts for which carmen.
ters Will be required, and, in fact, to every
one who is In any degree Interested
The committee will at once proceed TO
visit every employing carpenter in the Dis
trict and ask him the direct question
whether or not he is willing to employ
union labor exclusively. II his answer shall
be yes he will be requested to sign an
agreement to that effect, while, IL he re-
fuses to do SO, that part will be stated
What gave rise to this action was that in
the past when the members of the Car
penters' Council or the committee repre-.
senting them have called to see persons
proposing to build, and have asked them
70 see that only union men were employed
while expressing willingness to comply with
the request, have asked how they were to
know what employing carpenters are will
ing to engage union labor exclusively. 1t Is
believed that the step just taken by the
Carpenters Council will remedy this diff
Guilty.
The short-lived strike of the union stair.
builders and plumbers at the Shugrue
building Monday has developed a new
phase and there may be considerable trou-
bic there yet. A report was submitted
showing that the strike was led by the
stairbuilders, who. as already stated in
The Star, returned to work the following
morning at Mfr. Shugrue's request Since
Tuesday. however. 1t was stated last night,
Mr.. James Connors, the contractor, has not
permitted any stairbuildiIg to be carried
or, and the consequence has been that
all the striking carpenters were laid on
by him. 1t was further charged that Mr..
Cor nor3 has said that he would not em-
ploy union stairbuilder under any cir.
ctmstances. and a committee was APP
pointed to look into the matter and ascer-
tain all the facts in the case.
There was a long discussion on PROPOSE
tfons to amend the constitution and by
laws in various particulars notably in
reference to the tenure of office of the
officers. as 1t was considered by some that
as there are SO many competent men In
the body to fill the various chairs, and
that all ought to be willing to do SO, it will
take too long for each to have a chance
II some are reelected after serving q first
term, but the amendment was not carried.
