It was a robbery effected by the well known “panel game,” and tsa kind of swindling poor victims out of their money, for which the Fourtcenth ward is obtaining an unenviable fame, The victim ts evidently a very respectable man, & stranger in the city, who, having been to the Theatre Comique, was aliured by two frail damsels to their roo’. and there victimized,” one of the victimizers being the notorious “Mort Ailen,” It will be remembered that some time ago @gentieman who had the misfortune to resemble “Mort” was shot in mistake for him by a man named Hamilton, Jealousy about a young lady whom “Mort”? kept was avowed by Hamilton as being the cause of the firing. ‘This lady paid a visit to the Tombs yesterday afternoon and saw “Morv” in his cell, Hamilton caught sight of her afid was very anxious for @ little private conversation with her, but she deciined the honor. She was after- wards accommodated With a seat in the’ exainina- tion room during the examination of the prisoners, and had frequent contidential communicatious with Mr. W. F. Howe, who is retained for the deience. ‘The revelations of the amorous proceedings of Mr. Spencer and his two lady loves appeared not to aitect im any way the native modesty of this lady, Her countenance muintained throughout tie entire investigation that cali repose which stamps tne ladies of the denui-monde, Mr, Johu Spencer, of Hartford, Connectent, stay- ing at French’s Hotel, said he was walking down Broadway, when he met two females, and at their ‘Solicitation he accompanied tiem to their house, No. 14 Howard streei, and with them he went into a bedroom im that Kouse and retired with bota these ladies, He placed his clothing on a chair inthe middie of the room, and after he had been with them afew minutes he heard a rap at the door, and one of the girls arose and said that her “friend” was Outside and she did not know what to do. Upon this Spencer put on his ciothing hurriedly and went to nis hotel. On lookingzat ihe iuside pocket of nis vest he found that the money was gone, consisting $650 In currency. He went down to the Twenty: Sixth precinct and gave tatormation, Captain Greer detailed officers Wilkinson and Scott, Who proceeded to the house.on Tuesday morning and were refused admittance; but chey burst the door open and found there Martin Allen’ (brother of Theodore), Heury Jackson and Samuel Mack.

Detective Wilkinson said that he made an examt- nation of the premises m which the robbery was committed; I found in the room where the cour plainant was a bed, a lounge, a chair, a bureau, a looking glass and afew pictures, aud a carpet on the floor; we burst the door open; we heard a noise inside, and when we Weat in there was no one there, and we looked to see where the persou was and to see how he escaped; I discovered a door in the par- tition between the front and the back room; tiere was no kuob or lock on the door, and i dtd not appear as though there was any opening; when [ found it | could scarcely believe Luere Was a door, and | had to look at it again betore | was et tain.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. Clothing and Printing Establishments Burned—Property Valued at $200,000 Destroyed—Portion of an Old and Sacred Landmark Gone—The Spire of the Old North Dutch Church Demolished. A very destructive conflagration occurred tn this city yesterday morning. About ten minutes past three o'clock the fire broke out in the six story brick building No. 116 Fulton street, occupted by vartous parties, from which it quickly extended to the neighboring structures, and owing to the light and infammabie materials, with a strong southwest breeze, the fire raged with great flerceness, and the volume of sparks emitted from the burning pile set fire to the steeple of the North Dutch churen, situ- ated on Fulton, Ann and William streets. The fire was discovered on the second floor of No. 116 Fulton street, in the premises of Mr. Samuel lf. Shardlow, a turner and dealer tn ivory, and within a few mmutes the building was one mass of Names, presenting a fearfully grand spectacle, The Moors of this putld- ing were occupied by many business men, who have suffered extensively. The tuder-like nature of the building was such that the fire shot out its living, seething tongues, and after consuming Noor after floor guawed its destructive way to buildings Nos. 114, 112, 118, 120, neighboring dwellings, and also into No. 15 Dutch street. The alarm was quickly given and readily responded to, wind blew so strongly that the firemen at frst feared a ‘had fire.”* By thelr anited exertions the flames were for atime checked in the building Where first found, but only for a minute or 80, as stealing through wall after wall they ate up everything perishable on the right 1 country; 18 saw half s centary following of sucl growth and ess as happens only now and then in ages; It saw the accursed cloud of civil war Joomting up in the Southern sky. Then peace came; then prosperity came; the war clouds faded away; the assurance of national permanence was mant- fest; the bones of good old Peter Stuyvesant rested more quietiyin the wall of St. Mark’s church, and the steeple was doing its work all the time; but now 1s done and has gone the way of alt the living. ut the prayer meeting contiques, and yesterday, anid the working of engines, the dripping of water, the protanity of hundreds, God's name was extolled in song and praise. ‘Ihe prayer meeting goes on. ‘Tne Titanic atrides of commerce will soon build up the depopulated district.
