News of be 19th ult-An interesting variety has been given to the usual dull monotony of police work in the Settlement by the report of my terious fires that occur at a Chinese residence 'situated in an alleyway, off Mohawk Read The house is numbered 1131 and is part of a terrace that was rebuilt lately on the site of one that was destroyed by fire two years ago, Neither gas nor electricity is connected with these houses and the pressut 'occupant lived thers in peace until a month ago when there began a series of fires which he estimates at a total of 100 and the police at ball thạt

One most remarkable feature of the affär is that the firei 'never begi at night so it is safe to conclude that the trickster who is causing the alarm does not desire to destroy the premier outright.

The spook continue to nccupy a prominent place in the household, arrangements of the family living at No, '131, Taku Road, and the police, so far, are baffled. Teò more Åren oc- curred there yesterday morning while the police ware on the premises, and there is no doubt that the means of ignition are at least ingenious. The household had reached such a state of nervous alarm yesterday, however, that the pro prietor decided, in the afternoon for the women falk to leave the house and move into lodg-perishable goods. ings. No arrests have been made 'but it would have been interesting to see the result of the incarceration of individual members of the household each for a short period. Some of the latest outbreaks appear to confirm the theory of some method of causing spontaneous combustion, but a motive is wanting unless the originators were either of two small slave girls, who might be actuated by revenge, and it nppears very improbable that chemicals could be precured by such an agency. There is also: to be considered an inmate recently arrived from Chinking which is the home of junumer able foxes who, show an inclination towards arsan, according to the legend.
