ARSON ATTEMPTED.
Dastardly Attempt to Burn
a Big Tenement Full
of People.

Mrs. Fanny Kenney, of No. 1858 Sixth
street, reported to the police this morn
ing that an attempt was made early this
she resides. The police are exerting
every effort to capture the alleged fire.
bug.
The first discovery of any attempt to set
fire to the house was made by Michael
Reardon. a mflkman. Of No. 40S Grove
street.
Reardon. who serves a number of the
tenants in the fiat was making his usual
rounds when he came to the floor of Mrs.
Kenny he discovered a strong odor of kerr
osene and he became suspicious at once.
He awoke Mrs. Kenny, who at first dis
believed his story, but on investigating
she found that kerosene oil had been
sprinkled over the floor and on the stair
way. The milkman went about his busi-
ness. Mrs. Kenny went to her apartments
but became so frightened that she could
not go to sleep again.
A short time after she entered the house
she claims that she heard some one
scratching match, and looking out saw a
pile of paper at the front door in a blaze.
She raised an alarm of fire, and after a
stubborn fight number of occupants of
the house succeeded in extinguishing the
blaze. No one can assign a reason for
the attempt to the house. The house is a
FIVE story brick building and is occupied
by over ten families. The police are
keeping sharp lookout for the person
who tried to burn the house.

plcAlcEERs GROWING.
Think the Prioe of Certain Outing
Was Too Sseep.

The rumblingS of what promises to break
into prolonged grewl are heard among
some who attended recent outing of a
certain association. the title of which be-
twixt friends shall be nameless, as Sairey
Camp would say. 1t appears that the
sum charged for ticket was vastly in
excess of what these gentlemen deem they
should have received in the form of an
entertainment.
Judge for yourself said one of the
battalion in a downtown resort today
when tell you what we got. We had a
long ride under broiling sun to the pic
ME grounds and when we got there we
had breakfast. There were a few beers
served free, not enough for a thirsty soul
on that day, and then supper Every
thing else we had to pay for, and for our
wives, SweetheartS or daughters suppers
a sum of a dollar each was charged.
Now see, ne continued, what we will
get on the Davis outing for the same
money: A delightful sail there and back
board gets three good cigars and can have
what liquid refreshment he pleases togeth-
