KILKENNY.
Shortly before daybreak on the morning
of Oct intelligence reached the Mooncoin
police barrack that a matched dwelling
house on the farm Of Mrs. Carroll, resid-
ing at Polrone, was on fire. On the police
reaching the spot they found the building
completely Quilted. On inquiry it appeared
that for some time past the house had not
been occupied; but, in an clubhouse, ex-
tending from one Of the gable ends, there
had resided young couple named Crowley,
who had very narrow escape from being
burned to death. 1t would seem that for
some time past the house had been con-
demned by the Waterford Board Of Guar
dams as unsanitary. Mrs. Crowley $
mother was the last tenant. After she had
been dispossessed her daughter, some
months ago, was married to Crowley, VINO
is a farm laborer; and as they could not
get cottage III the locality, Mrs. Carroll,
the owner, allowed them to occupy the
clubhouse as a. dwelling, so that. they &C
tually. left the church after being married
and proceeded to spend their honeymoon
| in the miserable abode where they lived,
to all appearances very happily, until they
were burned out. AS the fire was evidently
Of incendiary origin, the police, on invest
CATION. arrested Patrick Carroll, son OF the
| owner of the farm on which the burned
cottage stood; and at last Piltown Perry
Sessions he was held on the charge OF nav"
| ing set fire to the house.
