Evers de clared to have been of Incendiary origin, starting at 7,05 o’clodk thin morning in the cart and wagon build. ing at Sing Sing Prison, within an hour had destroyed that structure, the f/biacksmith shop and the foundry, causing « Joss estimated at $260,000. The property is uninsured. There | was no loss of life.

Convict labor has been em- ployéd to some extent new bullding and the convic knew about the cutting off of the water supply. It has been no secret in Ossining that @ large proportion of the 1,400 inmates of Sing Sing have chafed un- der the administration of Warden E. V. Brophy and wanted to get rid of him. These prisoners, it is sald, want a “sentimentalist” as warden. They want more des Sy and less work. The Evening World correspondent was if | told last Sunday that the victims of prison unrest had gone so far as to plan a plot, About a week or ten days ago a fire was discovered in the noon hour in the cart and wagon shop. That fire, 1013 said, plainly had been set, The assumption at the time was that somebody expected to escape during the excitement, None of the bulidings destroyed to- day was nearer to the cell block than 400 feet. The cart and wagon shop was @ two-story brick and wood structure 150 by 80 fect. The black- smith shop, next below, was a 35 by 75 foot one-story brick. The foundry is a frame structure 40 by 100, Before 10 o'clock storehouse, black- smith shop and foundry had collapsed and although the ruins still were smouldering there was aid to be no danger of the fire spreading, One of the Ossining engines was pumping | water direct from the Hudson River.
