the
SECOND EFFORT MADE YESTERDAY
A Roll of Cotton Waste Soaked With Coal
Oil Found In a Blaze In the Cellar
of tho Building-Seeking the
Miscreant.
rropetty owners In the vicinity of 0k
street between Main aud White streets are in
no pleasant frame of mind over the attemnta
of some person or persons who evidentlv
have evil designs upon the Ilynkawicz build
ing, at the southeastern corner of Main and
Oak streets. A few days ago, early in the
morning, a heHp of waste paper was found lu
a blase in the alley at tho rear of the build
ing. Tho flames were just begin
ning to lick the weather boards
and sill of the building when tho
Are was discovered and prorantlv extingu
ished. At that time the occurrence was onlv
Efvcn passive notice and no one suspected
that an attempt had been made to burn the
building. Tho generally accepted theory
was that somo eareless person had thrown a
lighted cigar stump Into tho heap of paper.
Siuco then, howevor, there have heen
developments which warrant the conclusion
that the lire was the Atk of an incendiary.
At nhout 1:80 o'clock) yesterday afternoon a
young man named Michael Diirkiu saw
smoko issuing into a illey from one of the
uasemeni windows of ihe Jiynkiuvioi build
ing. He called the attention of several men
who happened to bo in tho neighborhood to
tho matter and irvislt was paid tD tlio collar.
There thoy found a large roll of cotton waste
in n hlazo. Tho material was saturated with
conl oil and thoro was an abundance of
paper scattered over the collar lloor.
Moro comploto ovldence of attempted
arson cannot he Imaeinml. Tim Imrnitm
; jniiterial was carried out of the cellar and
agaiUj the attempt of the unkuowu miscreant
was defeated. The second occurrence has
now thoroughly aroused the people in that
vicinity and they have prepared to try and
locate the lite bug. There is ono redeeming
feature in connection with tho matter and
that is tho fact that the rascal made his
attempts iu the day timo and not nt an hour
when residents were in slumber, but even
that will not he considered in mitigation if
tito guilty party should be located, for if there
is an onemy to society for whom the peoplo of
this town have a bitter hatred it is a ilro buz,
and anyone found guilty of incendiary, not
withstanding aDy position ho may hold iu
tho commuuity, will not ho dealt with
lightly. Tho building referred to is ono of tho
kind of structures that need but a slight start
to causo a conflagration. Itlsaframo build
ing with wido halls niuning thp full length
aud width und llamas would havo a groat
sweep in it. It is hoped that a vigilance will
ho established tlint Will either lead to tho
detection of tho Are bug, or prevent a con
tinuance of his work.
Tlio building is occupied hy Shapira's druc
