Organized Fire Bugs.
I'm New York and BrOOklyn---I2 Men
Arrested and Others of Prominence

The Gang Has Burned Many Buildings
in New York and BrOOkIyn---I2 Men
Arrested and Others of Prominence
Implicated.
The revelations made Saturday in the
investigation carried on by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Vernon NJ. Davis and Fire
Marshal Mitchell in regard to the opera
tions of the gang of incendiaries which has
harried New York for the past five years,
show that the conspiracy is of even great
er magnitude than had been surmised, and
that the corruption had touched not only
the public fire adjusters and those employ
ed by the fire insurance companies, but
even the district attorneys office, from
which timely information was given out in
regard to indictments against any of the
members of the gang. A large number of
fires in New York and Brooklyn are at
tributed to this band of firebugs, and it is
even charged that their diabolical work ex-
tended into New England. The total num-
Der of fires or the amoant of the loss can
not yet be computed, but it is certainly
enormous. The method of operation was
for the merchant who intended to burn his
stock for the insurance to make deal
with a crooked adjuster to have his losses
satisfactorily adjusted and then to hire
professional expert to start the fire by soak
ing the goods in a fluid composed of gaso-
line, benzine and naphtha and leaving a
candle burning on pile of goods. AS
soon as the flame reached a certain point
the intlammable mixture exploded violent
ly and burned with such rapidity that usu-
ally all traces of the source of the blaze
was destroyed.
1t is said that the confession made by
Samuel Mich, the fire insurance agent,
who turned states evidence, will implicate
many very prominent men. Twelve per-
sons are now under arrest

Stole $4,000
But Were Intercepted Before They Is
caped with Their Booty.

Sarah and Mary Goodwin, two eccentric
spinsters residing at Georgia Plain, were
robbed of $4,000 in broad daylight last
Thursday. They were having sheep
shearing in barn, and everybody was alb
sent from the house. The hired man found
two men in the shed, who explained their
presence by saying they had seen two
tramps 60 into the house and had gone in
themselves to protect the property. The
story was not believed but the men were
permitted to go. When they were discov-
cred there were two valises on the ground
near them which contained money to the
amount of $4,000. 1t is supposed that the
would-be robbers were Charles and Henry
Densmore, cousins of the spinsters, for
they have both disappeared and there is no
clue to their whereabouts. The two spin
sters, who are over go years old, are very
wealthy, and since they lost by the failure
of st. Adams banks have kept large sums
of money at their home.

Chicago Frauds Growing Under Inves-
tigRtiOn.

Mayor Swift and his lieutenants Of Chi
cago have driven an entering wedge into
the conspiracy which plundered the city
treasury under the administration of j. p.
Hopkins. The arrest of the men charged
with conspiracy to defraud the city by
means of "stutfed" pay rolls is only the
beginning If those directly in charge of
the movement are not mistaken in their es-
innate of the worth of evidence already at
hand, several men who have been promi-
nent factors in city affairs are likely to have
hard time keeping out of the penitenti-
airy. The extent of the frauds is not def
nitely known, but in the water-pipe extern
sion department alone $4,000 is said to
have been taken fraudulently. Some say
the stealings may amount to $4,000.
