SOAKED WITH OIL.
Shavings Employed in an Attempt
to Burn a House.
Lack OF Draugt Probably Prevented
Destruction OF Building.

Nashua, n H., March 27.-A daring at
tempt to destroy double tenement house
owned by the heirs of Jeremiah Foley, was
discovered here this morning, in time TO
prevent serious damage to the building.
When the firemen, who had been called TO
the scene arrived, they found that piles
of shavings soaked with kerosene had been
placed in different rooms and small can-
dies had been lighted above each with the
evident intention that when they burned
low. the shavings should become ignited
and set fire to the house. Lack of draught,
however, caused the dense smoke 10 rise
and the blaze was discovered. The house
was unoccupicd and the perpetrators of the
act arc not known. The police are guard
ing the promises and searching for clues.
