FIRES.—INCENDIARISM SUSPECTED.
Inveecaegill, This day,
The premises of Messrs Daily and Moir, upholsterers, Doe street, narrowly escaped being set on fire some time between Saturday night and Monday morning through the ignition of a heap of straw in an adjoining shed. How the heap caught fire is not known, but it is supposed to have been the Avork of an incendiary. Early on Sunday a fire Avas discovered in a vacant house in Yarrow street, the property of Lawrence Finnisty. A constable got in by a Avindow and extinguished the flames. He found that a hole had been burnt clean through tho flooring, and near at hand was a heap of kerosine-soaked scrim, rags and paper. Investigation shoAved that through tho floor of tho porch behind tho house tAVO small holes had also been 'burned, and the surmise is that, Avith the object of making assurance doubly sure, the intending incendiary had started tho fire in several places.
