BANGOR's MYSTERIOUS FIRES.
The Ninth stairway Fire. in the Queen
City Within the Past Two Weeks.
EseEc1A1 TO THE pREss.l

SPECIAL To THE PRESS.l
Bangor, January 20. There was an
other one of those mysterious stairway
fires Saturday night which have been
bothering the police and worrying the
property owners for some time. About
six O'Clock an alarm Was sounded from
box 23. which isiat Sweets drug store
right in the business portion of the city.
Everybody said, !. the fire bug is at work
again., and they were right. The fire
was in the same block occupied by Mr..
Sweet and the Boston button store and
owned by Hon. J. P. Bass. 1t started in
a closet In the second story and investi-
cation proved that it had been burning
for some time. 1t was set in the closet
it could get where the air could urge the
flames on tho door and finish In the closet
were burned The firemen found it
necessary to use considerable water and
quite good deal of damage was done on
this account. Mr.. Bass was in the block
Saturday afternoon and saw that the
closet was open ana intended to notify
one of his tenements to lock 1t when they
went away, but it slipped his mind. This
makes the ninth stairway fire that has
taken place in Bangor within the past
few weeks. and as yet the police have no
clue to the fire bug tt is evident the
work of some crank who does not set
the fires with the intention of causing q
great damage to property but for the fun
of seeing the crowd gather as all of the
fires have started when many people were
on the streets.
