The curse of Moses Montefiore?

London's Jewish Chronicle reports that a library in Ramsgate housing a portrait of Sir Moses Montefiore and, it is thought, letters and other items of his, went up in flames last week. Arson is suspected. Particularly sad seeing as his original touring carriage, which was on display by the Jerusalem Windmill in Mishkenot Sha'ananim, was also destroyed through fire in the 1970s or 80s; the current carriage on display is a replica.
