The New York Fire Which Cost the Lives
of the Andrews EamiIu

New York, April 1o.-Despite retfcence
on the part of the police facts became
public Saturday which made it apparent
that the fire which killed thirteen per-
sons was of incendiary origin. 1t trans
pired that a few hours before the fire
a policeman was sent for from the
Wallace Andrews house and was mys-
teriously dismissed by servant, who
said he was not wanted. Letters threat
ening the lives of the Andrews family
and the children of Mrs. st. John have
been found.
1t is believed that the motive for in
cendiarism was revenge, and that the
affair arose out of a quarrel among the
servants. Foley. the butler. is under
surveillance and the police are hard at
work investigating the clews.

yesterday the day did not pass without
deeds of violence. Last night the large
barns just below the city line in Mar

of boys and young men who fired brick
bats, stones and other missiles through
the windows. and erected a barricade
in front of the door out of which the
cars leave the barns. The Benwood po-
lice were called upon for protection, but
the response was not satisfactory to
the company, whereupon Secretary
Shirley called upon the sheriff of Mar

left at once for the scene of hostilities
and was there at midnight. He detailed
several deputies for duty at the barns.
Long before that hour, however, the
crowd had dispersed.
