Patrolman Klah Peters, who Is sub
stituting Patrolman Thomas on tho
North Main avenue beat, was coming
down the street and answered the sum
mons. Just as lie entered the door ho was
literally covered with a shower of
btoken glass, caused by the breaking
of the plate glass window on the' left
of the entrance nnd one of the smaller
panes In the door Itself. Inside all was
turmoil, tit least a dozen men being j
mixed up. ' !
Patrolman Peters rapped for assist- '
ance and Patiolman Matthews re- j
sponded. William Reese and Jack '

who is a large-sized man of 2.V) pounds
weight, resisted arrest and force was
necessary. In fact, the two olllcers
had to handcuff him and carry him i

ing place.

An attempt was made some time
Thursday night to burn the large sta
bles of Connell & Co., but owing to
the failure of tho slight blaze to gain
sulllclent start, a conllngrutlon that
would Involve a loss of thousands of
dollars was prevented. Yesterday
morning, when Charles Simrell, barn
boss for the company, reached the sta
bles he discovered the dastardly at
tempt. The barns are located between
Prospect nnd Pittston avenues, near
Ripple street, Ueneath the large door
on the southern side tho floor was sat
urated with kerosene oil, and tho spot
where a match was applied was plain
ly visible. Lying a few feet away was
an empty bottle, with a strong odor of
the oil. One of the stables Is used for
the sheltering of the mules used In tho
Meadow Rrook mine, and tunnel, and
the old structure contained supplies,
farm Implements, wagons and a team
owned by Mis. Kdgar Connell. A nar
row yard separates the buildings.
John Gibbons, wife and daughter
were returning from the theatre on
Thursday night and when entering
their home, Miss Gibbons called the
attention of her parontH to what was
thought to bo a reflection on the barns
of a blaze, but the Idea of a fire was
not given any thought, nnd they re
tired. Chief HIckey visited the scene yes
terday and a thorough investigation
was made, and to him It appealed that
It was the work of an organized gang
of lire fiends, und to this theory Is laid
the cause of the several llres that have
occurred on this side recently. In a
month the barns of Hugh Gllmore,
Jicob Mock, Mrs. Patrick Donnelly,
were burned to the ground, and In
each Instance valuable horses were
sacrificed to the flames, and follow
ing on the destruction of Connell &
Co.s breaker Tuesday morning, the
community Is becoming much alarmed.
On the mountain at No. G a gang of
tramps have a hut, and much suspic
ion rests on them. Chief of Police
Robllng has Instructed Lieutenant
Zang to make the utmost efforts to
run down the firebugs.

gratified at the supposed refoi mutton
of the erring son, and immediately e
cuied ball and William was leleu'ed.
Tho very night of the lad's rolense, he
