Incendiary Attempt.
Between 10 o'clock and 11 o'clock
ast night fire was discovered on the
back piazz i of tho residence of Mr. J.
Weil, on North Second, between Chest
nut and Mulberry streets. Tho family
was absent at tho time, and tho ffro was
discovered by a colored woman living
near by who promptly gave the alarm.
A few neighbors wero at once at tho
scene, when it was discovered that
some scoundrel bad attempted to burn
the house bv saturating a bundle of
lightwood with keroseneej and then
ign'ting it. This was promptly remove
ed and extinguished and the danger
was over. No general alarm was given
and no danger was done. Mr. Weil

spite towards him as to wish to destroy
his property.

A Suggestion.
Would it not be a good plan to change
tho "hours of calling off the night police
and putting on the day force from 4
o'clock in the morning, as if now the
rule, to sometime nearer daylight?
Nearly all of the robberies which have
been committed recently have been
between three o'clock and fivo o'clock.

vantage of th i confusion and necessary

hours, to di their deeds of.miscbier, in
which they :iro also favored by tho
darkness.

Unrclnrs Aaiu.
About half past three o'clock this
morning air. George W. Huggins, who
liues on Seventh, between Chestnut and
Mulberry streets, was awoke by hear
ing tho door to his sleeping apartment
open and seeing a light. He supposed
that it was his son, who slept in an ad
joining room, and asked what was the
matter, when all became still. Heat
once concluded that a burglar was in
tho house, and lumped out of bed
and ran down stairs just in season to
sec the thief rnn out :of the back
door. A search showed that tho cloth-
ju ui iir. iiuggius' son naa been taten
. e r T T .
into the passage and searched, but the
thief found nothing, and his next- move
was to the door of Mr. Huggins room,
whero ho was discovered. An entrance
was made from a rear window, and tho
thief, after gaining an entrance, un
locked the rear door by which to make j
a speedy exit should occasion require.
The thief got uothing, but it w3 un
fortunate that he didn't get caught.
