WORK OF FIRE BUGS.
Two Lives Sacrificed I'm the Fire at
Akron, Ohio.


Akron, Ohio, Oct. 23.-The burning
of the Whitman Robinson company's
stoneware plant here last night was
of incendiary origin, and in addition
to the destruction of 100000 worth
of property, two lives were lost. When
the fire had nearly burned out the
body of an unknown man was discov-
cred in one of the red-hot kilns. Evil
IDENTIFY he had craWled in to sleep
and was burned to death. The remains
of Francis Harrison who slept at the
works, have not yet been found. He
was in an intoxicated condition last
night, and it is certain that he persisted
in the building. Old clothes saturated
in oil were found in the vicinity, and
the fact that the fire started in two
places leaves no doubt that it was
started by an incendiary. An attempt
to burn another factory was also
made, but was unsuccessful A care
full investigation of the origin of the
fires is being made.
