This Morning.
GOOD EVIDENCE OF 1NoENDIARIsM

a fire which seems undoubtedly of
incendiary origin brought the depart
ment to the grocery store of Jacob
Silverman, GIL Seventeenth street, at
o'clock this morning. The flames
were speedily quenched. and the dam
age will not amount to more than s.
or SO.
On investigation it was found that
the fire had started from the out
side. This was rather hard to under
stand, and further examination thus
induced revealed the fact that a
piece of siding had been pried away
and some easily ignited material plac-
ed in the aperture and lighted. The
members of the department and Mr..
Silverman came to the conclusion af-
ter the investigation that the fire was
the work of an incendiary. Mr.. Sill
verman thinks it was done for spite

cross-examination by the State this morn

he called on the mayor with reference to
an appointment the latter seemed to be
out of his mind. Witness told several peo-
ple that the mayor was crazy.
