Yards Of lutte Destroyed.

Galveston. Texas. July 12.-This after
noon, fire WAS seen on the Morgan wharf
and a negro was sent to sound the alarm
This he did and on his return he saw
three men standing by the blaze which
nould have been easily put out. The
men ordered the negro out and he ran.
BY some accident the general alarm was
not sounded until an hour later and
police sergeant found three flames by
each of which was a Kerosene can and
some Matches showing the fire was
caused by incendiarism. Owing to this
