AN INCEND|ARy.
An Unknown Person Sets Fire to a
Barn in Burlington.

Burlington, May 1S.-An attempt
was made by an lncendiary to destroy
the barn in the rear of the old brew
cry on lower Champlain street last
night at midnight. The time and
place of setting the fire was i'll chosen
and owing to the heavy rain which
fell early in the evening, unsuccessful.
Chief Murray was of the opinion
that an attempt was made to start the
fire with kerosene. The barn is To-
Gated near enough to other wooden
buildings-somc of them tenements-
so that if it had burned when not wet
with rain they would have been in
danger.
