The
Miscreant’s Fire Attempt At Cambridgeport Church
An arson attempt targeted the Inman Street Universalist Church in Cambridgeport last evening. Pastor Rev George W Bicknell paused his sermon on The World's Fair as smoke rose from a vestry corner, while Munroe Sprague and Sexton Dam fought the blaze. About 25 dollars in damage, half a hundred hymn books, a sewing machine, and matches were found at the scene. The act appears incendiary with no motive given. The congregation was unaware of the danger during the service.
