INCENDIARISM AGAIN.
About one o'clock on Sunday morning, Mr. Samuel W. Taylor's barn situated upon his farm property on the Jacksonville pike a short distance from its junction with Federal street was burned to the ground. Aside from his farm horse, which was fortunately rescued, the contents, hay, farm implements and fence posts were consumed. The loss estimated between $300 and $400 is fully covered by insurance. Isolated from other buildings, and no one sleeping in the building, the fire was unquestionably the work of an incendiary. Some immediate public action should be taken to check such wanton destruction and repeated dastardly acts.
