FIREBUGS Busy IN HARLEM.
Three Fires OF Suspicious Origin Disco, er eti
Yesterday Afternoon.

That the West Side has no monopoly on
~inoendiary fires is the belief of the police q.
Three fires were discovered within a short
time Of one another in Harlem late yester-
day ate
The first fire started in the American Ice
Company stables at 127th N l2Sth streets
and Second venue. The stables were q long,
low series OF wooden buildings extending
the entire length Of the block from l27th
to I2sth street.
Late yesterday afternoon Capt. James
Cochran of the ice barge Peter Boylan
discovered a fire in the southea asst end Of the
stables. He turned in m alarm and then
assisted General Manager Bicrer in getting
out the horses. Battalion Chief Lawlor
sent in a second alarm. but the stampede
Of the horses, which we're wildly excited,
hindered the firemen from getting to work
and gave the fire a chance to gain a big
Roadway.
The entire buildings were destroyed, also
the feed and ice and a number Of wagons.
A few crippled horses were also lost.
The police mad an immediate investiga-
ton and said that the fire was undoubtedly
the work OF incendiaries. II was discovered
that the fire had started in a pile of dry
hay which bore the appearance OF having
been stacked for the purpose of starting
the fire. The loss was estimated by Mr..
Bierer at about $4,000.
The firemen had just finished with the
stable fire when an alarm came in from
Sulzer's Park. at nth street n Second
avenue. The only damage done was the
destruction of a huge fruit pyramid, one
Of the sights Of the park and the pride Of
East Harlem. The police said that this
also was the work of incendiaries.
About six months ago the old Metro
politan car barns at nth street n Sec
ond avenue were almost totally destroyed
by fire. Folio wing Immediately on the
fire at Suffers an alarm was sounded from
the car barns. Evidence was found here
also of the work of frebugs and the fire
men were unable to save the remainder
Of the structure. -

while the Emperor-King Francis Joseph
was walking early this morning in the
garden OF the Hofburg here we apparently
aged men, who posed as veterans Of the
war of 1913, accosted him and told him G
pitiful tale of their distress. Their story
so moved the Emperor's feelings that he
wrote an order for $24O and sent a servant to
his treasurer to fetch the money. The men
thereupon bolted.
They were subsequently arrested and
proved to be young men wearing false
gray boards. They had apparently scaled
the garden wall during the night and waited
for his Majesty, hoping to meet him alone
and cajole or intimidate him into giving
them money.

amiably gave some of his paper and
six pastels, which were finally mixed
up with those by the Russian and sub
