REAL ESTATE PIRACIES, . Mow Owners of Property Are Swindled. The Plan of Operation, with Examples of | Successful Results. HISTORY OF A SERIES OF FRAUDS. | ( The Smugglers in the Business and the | Remedy for it Al ia | Ie England, where the people are less nomadic than | fe the United States, the wealth of the bigher classes 13 | Vested in real estate, the rent roll of which decides abe income of the possesscr. Even if bis extrava- ance compels him to involve bis acres by mortgaxes, She foe simple ts never transterred under the law of entail, though for a length of time the revenues may enrich the coffers of the money lender. Considerable property is held under long lease, but where there ure email portions of land, the fec of which can be trane- erred by purchase and sale, the transaction bas to Rake its due course, and occapies such a length of fame that fraud is almost impracticable, Here, how- ever, in the United States, where change scems the order of the day, where property can be sold, and transterred, and deeds pasacd, and recorded in the space Of twenty-lour hours, there is great room and oppor- \unity for fraud, and, that 14 bas been taken advantage Ol by the wary, is palpuble to every one cognizant of Teal estate transactions. Mechanics’ liens, mortgages, judgments, and tax pales, may all eventually ied to tortenure of the fee | simple in reul estate, aud the possibility of even two or three transfers of wtie in one day bas given buch a prominence tv sharp practice in real estate trans: tions as to acquire the name of “piracy.” | 1k 4s tho province of this article 10 deal with the methods of piracy, snowing bow it 18 managed, with Actual transactions tor exampies, as a Warning to the unwary who contemplate investing in landed prop- erty. For nothing but a full revival of moral toue in the entire commanity, will put a stop to such a general Practice, Land and vuilding companies and associations, In- Btalment purchases, and auction sales, with their con- Comitants of free excursions, music, singing avd tree lunch, all partake of a feenng of tactious overreuch- ; dng, though they caunot in ull cases be classed under ‘the head of piracies, Neither can the duubtiul prae- y tice of a broker's reception of fees, trom both parties toa sale or transfer, be termed a piracy. Ho con- Biders his honor untaruished,. and cases bis conscience by the reflection, that buyer and seller are both happy in the idea, that they have overreached euch other, i PIRATICAL LAND COMPANIEA First among the pirates may be enumerated those | Who, in order to aefraud their creditors aud avoid tho | puyment of just debis, decd all their real Betate to their wives or some other members | of their families, so that it remains intact and un- Souched by those who are justly entitled to obtain in | But as such transiers raroly come detore the public, and are ofton a logitimats investment by acareiul husband or father, the irand must be paipable befere piracy can bo charged. 1 Land companies aro generally piratical institutions, ; ‘whieh Dickens has ably caricatured ia “Martin Chuz- sglowit,”’ where the expectunt owner of lotz in the great Eden City tound them under water. PIRATICAL LOT OWNERS, A yet more dangerous class of pirates is the owner of numerous low who, whiie possessing means, desires | to improve bis property and erect bis houses cheaply. ‘His method of working 1s as clever us that of Ab Sin; | and again will an illustration be given. Premising that 4m the same manner have scores ol houses been erected ‘4m this city and in Brooklyn, the writer has now tn his mind’s eye cases on Macon, McDonough una other Btreets on the Hill, and in Rodney strect, Marcy avi Bue and other thoroughiares iu Williamsburg. The owner bas, for wstance, (our lots on the corner of two good streets worth $500 per lot of 25x109 feet eac! These he deeds to airiena at $2,000 per lot, taking a full purchase money mortgage as a consideration, | ‘with interest payable semi-annually. The purchaser | then, to carry out bis shure of the programme, con- tracts for the erection of tive Louses on the lots, twenty Toot front each.’ Masors, carpent plambers, &c. | are engaged and the work 1s progressed, partial pay- | ments to be mado at stated intervals, a mechanic's | hen to begiven when the work is completed, with | Seven por cent interest until the promised tine whea the balance would be paid. Six months clapse, the | owner bas advanced to the mortgagor $1,000 or $1,500 | to relieve the pressing demuods of the builders, ana | | i i i the housen are possibly enclosed but not completed, , Then, no more money being in possession of the | holder of the property, be deiauits his first payment | of interest, and the party from whom he obtained ths deed commences proceedings to foreclose. The builc- | ers, secing tl riisement of the sale, hurry to the Registor’s office and flad such a heavy mortgage that their liens are worthigss, Five thousand dollars’ worth | of labor and material may ve invested, but none of them will pay $8,000 for the mortgage and $780 1nter- | est, costs and allowance, in order to secure the $5,000 | duethem. The day of sale arrives, the mortgagee bids | it in, and thus legally owus the lots again, with all the | improvements, This species of piracy can only be possible under our present lax laws on real estate, and bo remedy 1s possible until the courts are granted power to inquire into the original transaction. This Will show tne fraud, and in equity the amended laws | ip the matter should allow a proportionate amount of the sale money to each claimant, the lots taking their | Position on a basis of their market value at the time ; © 01 the fraudulent transfer. ‘The above species 0; piracy was very prevalent ip { New York city between the years 1853 and 1857, and | yet tho terrible jesson then read the dealers in building Material was not hecded in these later times, until ibe savings banks, alarmed, retused to make luaus on such | property. | PIRATICAL BROKERS AND LAWYERS.

THD GREATEST PIRACY OF ALL. The instances aiready given may possibly be consid- ered bad enough, but the toliowing overtops them uli, for varetaced traua, A piratical owner, bad wr.

TWO MEN KILLED AND FOUR PERSONS INJUBED AT DUBYEA'’S WORKS. The village of Glen Cove was on Saturday, at about quarter-pust twelve, startled by a loud explosion, the shock of which was folt over a wide area. Lovestiga» tion as to the cause showed that an accident, terrible in 118 consequences, bad occurred at the starch works of the Messrs. Duryea, involving the death of two per- sons and the severe injury of four others, A boiler, about ten feet in diameter and ten feet high, had burst into fragments, carrying death and destruction in all directions. Fortunately nearly all the meu in the factory had gone to dinner, or the loss of life would doubtiess bave been much greater. The explosion oc- curred in what is known as the sugar department, which was made a pertect wreck. The root was biown off, about 200 teet of brick wall was strated, und the rest ol the stracture was so badly shattered that it will have to be entirely rebuilt. The two persons killed were Dr. Oscar Wiele, au accomplished German chemist, and his assistant, Adolph Grimm. The former was blowo about 100 tect throagh the wall and through a picket fence, where he was picked up unconscious, though still breathing. but he soon expired, after being couveyed to u nol,ybboring bouse, He was ubvut thirty-five years old and had no relatives in this country, though it was understood gaged to be married oun toa Brooklyn lady.

INTO A WILLIAM STREET STORE— ALSEM AND ESCAPE, Abold and ingenious attempt at burglary was mado yesterday upon the gold pen manufactory of L. W. Fairchild, located in the third story of tho building at No. 110 William street, The plan of operating tndl- cates that the same gang that bas perpetrated several daring robberies recently on Sundays in the lower part of the city was engaged to this, It is known that there were three men who effected an entrance into the manofactory, ana it is believed that they had confederates outside. The thieves entered tho building by cutting hole sufficiently large to admit of the easy passage of the body of a man through a twenty-four-inch wall, separating the room from the building No, 71 John street. They com- enced work tn the latter place, where they had little difficulty im gett'ng into position on the corresponding floor, as the entrances to the building were very inse- curely fastened, Alter cutting through tho wail they bad also to wake a passage through a heavy board par- tion, Which was done in like mavner. They then ntly irst commenced operations on the safe, which 18 said to have contained about $3,000 of the BREAKING awek of gold. Aller wrevching of the fire proof door of the safo she thie met with more than they could manage in the burglar proof door withia, and leaving their tools com- menced (0 ransack the butiding for valuables. The; were discovered at this at three o'clock by Albert H, Hoffman, a ind employed tn the store, whase duty it is to visit 14 On Sundays to see thatuilismght As he wont carelessly whistling np stairs be beard voices, and rushed into the office just in ume to see the three burglars disappear tbrough the hole into No, 71 Joba eet. They had not time to take anything with them, and the kit they left bebind ts oi the and most improved pattero, consiwting of ‘jimmie wedges and chisels, which wil forin a valuable addi. tion to the extensive cabinet at the Central Office. The lad Hofman, as toon as he had recovered from bis fright, informed Captain Petty, of the First precinct, of the affair and detectives were at once detailed to work up the ense, One of the theories entertuincd is that the burglars secreted themsoives tn the premises at No. 71 Jobo street on Saturday might end worked throagh the wall at their lowure, FIRE IN A BUTCHER SHOP. A fire broke out last night, at haif-past ten o'clock’ fm the butcher's shop of John Fubr, at No, 125 West street, near Dey.

Work will soon be commenced on the International Opera House of Mr. Maurice Strakosch. Rubinstein’s Ocean Symphony will be the feature of Mr, Schmeiz's concert es Steinway Hall on Tuesday next. ‘The San Francisco Chromici# says:—“‘Alice Harrtson has added « Webster's Unabridged Dietionary to ber dramatic library.” Muller, the baritone, and Cart Fermes nave been enlightening the San Pranciscans with Nicolai’s “Merry Wives of Windsor.” Mr. Carleton will make bia fret bow asthe Fiying Dutchman of Wagner at the Academy ef Music on Friday evening, The sale of scate for the Kellogg season has been very larga Mr. Aptommas gives « barp recital tm Boston Wednesday next He piays the wetl known “Bhyfek gyrob Gwyr Harlech,” in D minor, Lt is awfully dif cult, but it isa very nice melody, A conductor at the last concert narrowly escaped lockjaw 10 announcing the | piece above mentioned. Richard Wagner writes as follows:—‘Felix Men- delssohn Bartholdy has shown us that « Jow may be endowed by nature with a special richness of musical talent such as few composers bave bad before him; thas he may possess the finest aud most manifold cul- ture, the highest and most delicate sense of honor, without once being able through the help of all these endowments te produce im us that deep, heart and soul wwuching effect which we expect irom art, be- cause we know thas it i@ capable of it, because we have time apd again experienced this result whevover @ hero of our art, so to speak, has bat opemed bw mrouth to address us.” DRAMATIO AUTHORSHIP. i Bautrwore, Md., Jan. 18, 1872. To tus Epitor ov tx Huxanp:— The assumption that tho tirst to appropriate the work of a foreign dramatist acquires thus—through the right of aiscovery, 1 presume—a claim to its 6x- clusive possession, as against al! subsequent adapters, Js one, | imagine, which will nos seriousty be insisted upon, even by the suthora of “Led Astray"” ang “Leah, the Forsaken.” Miss Eytinge’s protest against Any attempt, in the tnstance of ‘Miss Multon,”” to fetter her “liberty of dramatic composition” is Dot, therefore, either untenable or uacaliod for. But as a question of good taste or of professional eti- Quette and personal courtesy it oughs not to strain se- verely any principle of right or of {air doaling to assert that the tact and good judgment generally ovidenced jn successful adaptations should be permitted, at least by reputable professionals, to onjoy, undisturbed by pace hg or depredators, the proper fruits of their en- terprise. From this standpoint of courtesy | ask permission here to remind Migs Kytinge and the management of the Union square Theatre that tor six years past my adaptation of ‘Miss Multon” hag, under the title of “Jealousy,” been a prominent aud prosperous feature of Mrs, ¥.S, Chantrau’s starring reperioire, ana trom Boston to San Francisco, as the columus of yoar criti. cal contemporaries will abundantly attest, haa added largely to the previous artistic distinctions of that lady, 1 would not be anderstood as intimating that tho Union Square production conveys a recognition of this popular tact, but I may at least be pardoned for in- Btaucing ite adoption of my five-year old idea of the necessity of an additional act to the original work, and of my substitute for the bigamous ending of the French play, as flattering approvals of my judgment. Ro- spectiully, CLIFTON W, TAYLEURE. , FIREPROOF SCENERY. To tax Epiror of TAR HEmatp:— We continue to receive daily trom the officials of hospitals, echools and public halls letters requesting receipts for the composition and application of the in- gredients used in the fireproofing process. I thought it was clearly explained in the HeRaup, but there may be added to that explanativa these remarks:— There are three well knowa resisting agents to flame; they are tungstate of soda, phosphate of am- monia aod sulphate of ammonia, Thore are two the above; these are sili- je of calcium, Ip our assistance in getting their sales into notice. To these there las been only one reply. An effectual process 1s well known, und the object being one of pablic benefit is opposed to any private enterprise, Somo of these persons appear to be skilled jn the pro- cess of application, und in that regard might be ein- ployed so as to render their experience available, and I have ventured to recommend one of these practical fireprooters—not as a patentee, but as a skilled work- man. 1t would much oblige us if you would allow us vo. that ww. dechne to have anything to with so. called patents” or secret processes, but sball continue to publish from time to time the practical resuits of our experience, and thorefore not eoteriam any proposals to carry rivate interests, Yours, DION BOUUICAULI, Wallack’s Theatre, CEROLE FRANCAIS DE L'HARMONIE. ‘The carnival season will bo inaugurated this evening attheAcademy of Music by tho Cercle Francais de Harmonie, which gives its twelfth grand fancy dress bail.
