Front strebt, was entered by thieves on Wednesday night. They eil'ected an entrance through a window in the rear. The obstacles that were overcome to enable the rogues to get within the walls show that bars and bolts are no longer to be relied upon. The shutters forced are made of iron, and they were fastened with an irou bar, which extends more than halfway across each. IJesides this, there was a fastening at the bot tom of the shutter. From the marks upon the iron, it is evident that the thieves llrst at tempted to work the shutters bodily off the hinges, but failing in this, they applied force to the fastenings with better success, and con siderable of it must have been used. No per son looking at the shutters, with their fasten ings, could believe that such implements as store robbers usually operate with could be so used as to pry them open. Once in the store, the thieves set to work to get inside the fire proof vault, and this they eil'ected in precisely the same manner as was done a few weeks before at Nos. 130, 132, and 134 S. Front street. The brick work was broken from around the bolt and the lock, and the bolt driven back. Only a few minutes must have been required to open the door. . In the vault they found a small fire-proof safe, and by means of chisels and sledges they appeared to have easily worked their way to the in side of it. Here they got about a hundred dollars in greenbacks, which was all of value carried off. A thousand dollar United States bond, in an envelope, they overlooked, as well as some other valuable papers. Excmxa Chase and Akrkst op a Bitiolar. A notorious safe-blower and burglar, known as "Jew Harry," was arrested yesterday after noon by Chief Detective Lamon and Detective Joshua Taggart, at Walnut Street Wharf, upon suspicion of his having been concerned in a number of safe robberies that have occurred in the city within the past month. It appears that the prisoner has been stopping at a tavern in Front street, below Walnut. Yesterday morning information wa? received at the detective office to the effect that the prisoner was going to leave for New York iu the afternoon train. Chief Lamon and Detec tives Joshua Taggart and George H. Smith proceeded to the wharf, and soon after they arrived "Jew Harry" made his appearance, carrying a large valise. The officers imme diately took him into custody, at the same time seizing his valise. While going up Walnut street with their prisoner, he sud denly slipped out of his overcoat, leaving it in the hands of the officers, and darted down Front street. Chief Lamon and Mr. Taggart gave pursuit, and after an exciting chase throuch a tavern, several small streets and alleys, caught up with the fugitive at the foot of Walnut street, lie was then taken into custody and removed to the Central Station, where he was locked up to await a hearing. The valise was found to contain a fine set of safe-blowing tools, burglarious implements, and skeleton keys. Bcrninq of a Woolles Mill. The alarm of fire last evening, at half-past nine o'clock, was caused by the partial destruction of Deary's woollen mill, at Twenty-second and Wood streets. The building is a large iour-story brick, and the second, third, and fourth stories were occupied by Mr. Deary, who had a largo stock of wool on hand, as well as valu-" able machinery, including three Jacquard looms. The llames were confined to the upper part of the building, and the third and fourth stones, witn tne root, were destroyed. James Ditty, who occupied the first floor as a dye room, Buffered considerable . damage from water. "Red Men's" Hall. A hall is about to be erected on thej southwest corner of Third and Brown streets, lor tne society caned me ued Men," composed mainly of German citizens. The building is to have a front of 85 feet on Brown street and of 105 feet on Third street, and will be three stories high, the principal one, on the second floor, being 25 feet in height. The first story will be fitted up for stores, the second will be used for public pur poses, and the lodge rooms will be on the third floor. Aw nnn Thiku to Lend Mr. Perkins, the ve teran warden of Moyamensing prison, received yesterday a request for tbe loan of u gallows. The rennent came from the Sheriff of BucKs county. In Doylestown a man, who lor the sake of eighty dollurs, murdered a companion on n canal boat, is soon to expiate his crime by the forfeiture of his life. Tbe request lor tne loan was iroiuji.ijr grain ed. The Sheriff of Bucks county is a citizen very much like our own High Sheriff Howell. He per forms the unpleasant duties or me omce in person. This execntion will be attended to by himself, just as Shei iff Howell hung the murderer rroost. Rr.ir.nT UinwB The alarm of fire about half- past 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon was caused by the burning oi a ued at no. oio xwiu second street. A slight fire occurred last evening at the house No. C19 Peach street, occupied by Wil liam Creamer. Death of a Prominent Citizen. Mr. Ben jamin A.
