THE BLANEY TWINS HAPPY.
Set Fire 10 a jail and shout With GIee
Born bad. Says Their Mother.

S~oMERvILLE, N. j.; Nov. s.-The BIaney
twins were born bad, Their grandfather
was hanged for murder. and their father.
who died a few months before they we're
born, was also a very bad man; at least
that Is the story told to Justice Kitchen
by Mrs. Blaney. their mother. They are
colored. This morning they attempted
to burn down the Somerset county Jail
by sprinkling live oals over a number OF
beds in the cell room of the juvenile de-
partment OF the Jail, where they are con-
fined on a charge Of larceny. The beds
blazed up and the diminutive ten-year-
old twins, Irving and George, shouted with
glee. When the room filed with smoke
the twins poked their little black heads
between h bars Of the corridor windows
and shouted -Firel" and Murder"
The twins had yelled in the same manner
before and old Billy, the jailer, who had
been fooled so often, paid no attention to
their cries this time. IL was not until he
took a turn outside and saw smoke pour
ing from the windows in the second story
of the Jail hat he realized that the twins
were not fooling. When he rushed to the
cell room IL was 20 full OF smoke that he
could not see the twins, but the pair heard
the door open and they hurried out. The
smoke spread through the Jail building and
caused much alarm among the prisoners,
but the fire was noon put out.
