The mystery as to? the repeated at-
V _ tempts at incendiarisni at East Nor-
walk is deepened by' the fact that as
many asthree times. Within ten days the
buildings on the Old Andrew Smith
place have been fired. Monday even-
ing a little after five, a lad named
Robert Curtis came running into the
house of H. R. Gorham and told the
inmates that the rear building used as
a cook house was on fire. On going
thither it was found that an old lounge
in the garret had been saturated with
kerosene 'and was burning briskly.
A few pails of water soon put out the
fire and an examination showed that
the incendiary had climbed up on a
pig-pen, under the hiding shade of
some quincetrees and pulled ofi' boards
nailed over a second story window and
thus gained an entrance. Mr. Gorham
