A dastardly attempt at arson was
tried yesterday morning. Jacob Pellow,
who rents a house of Thomas Wal
key. was awakened about / o'clock yes
terday morning by a dense smoke in
ms room. He at once called his family
and went downstairs to find the cause.
IT was apparent at once that it was
the work of an inccndiary. The dining
room window had been opened and q
on table near the window. The win
dow curtain, table and wainscoting
was on fire. but the chenille curtain
being of wool would not burn, but
smouldered emitting a disagreeable
odor. Mr.. Pellow. by throwing on a few
pals of water, extingushed the flames.
after the fire they retired again, but
could not sleep. About o'clock Mr..
james Martin, a neighbor. was awak-
ened by the barking of his dogs. They
Kept up such noise that he went and
locked them up. A short time after
ward Eliza Pellow heard a noise, and
Sping to the window saw that the
house MI. Walkey occupies was on fire.
Mr.. Martin heard some one jump over
the fence and run through his garden
when the second fire was discovered.
Mr.. Pellow woke the occupants and
neighbors, and as the fire had gained
but comparatively little headway, by
means OF a bucket brigade this fire
was also put our. 1t seems almost
miraculous that the properties were
not burned, and it is to be hoped that
the guilty party will consider well the
consequence and refrain from another
such attempt.

The authenticity of the figures is un-
questioned. There are thousands of
others whose names will never be
known. 1t is estimated by those in
the War department familiar with the
mortuary record of the war that not
less than 10000 Union prisoners died
in the South. Besides Salisbury, al
luded to above, 1906 lie buried at An
dersonville, $3.50 at Richmond, 3,O16
at Florence, S. c., and 1,32S at Dam
vile, Va. These were the original fig
ures. Besides Salisbury, Anderson
vile, Florence. Richmond, and Dam
vile, there were sixty-four other prison
posts scattered throughout the Con-
federacy during the war.
THE GRIM RESULT.
Under an order issued June ., 1884
by Adjutant General r. C. Drum. Mr.
Joseph w. Kirkley then having charge
of all the official returns and kindred
data of the Union Army, prepared a
statistical statement of the deaths in
the Union army during the entire war;
from all causes-killed in action, dfeH
of wounds. died of disease, killed after
capture, suicides, executed by military
authority, executed DN the enemy,
drowning and other accidental deaths.
murdered, died Of sunstroke, and all
other known and unknown causes. Mr.
Kirkley was engaged upon this hercu-
lean task almost precisely year, as
sisted by a corps of intelligent clerks.
On the 22d of May, 1885, he made his
report, embodied in a pamphlet maxi
ing seventeen pages of figures in fine
type. This was accomplished twenty
years after the war. Those who are
familiar with Mr.. Kirkley's conscien-
tlous painstaking in an official statis-
tical job of that kind know that he
has exhausted all the avenues of in
formation contained in the archives of
the department, in other words. ex-
hausted the subject, and that his find
ings are the complete and indisputable
summing up of the whole field. They
were accepted as final by the War de-
partment, and are now the figures
used by all historians.
Omittng the full details of his tabu-
lar statements, it is sufficient to give
the totals of deaths found by this stat
istician.
