Immense Dcstructlou of Property tirent
ViSHrulty in Uetttug a Supply of
AVatcr I,osa Kxcccds 10,000.
This moruinpr, about quarter past ten o'clock,
a tire broke out in the second stoiy of the build
ing at the northwest corner of Twelfth and Mar
ket streets, occupied by Mr. Lautrhlin ns a pho
tographic establish ment. The lire originated iu
the front room. As soon as it was discovered one
of the employes Rave the alarm.
An engine arrived, and took the pluir on
Twelfth street, above Market, but it via frozen
tight, llad it not been for this the fire would haw
been put out in short order. The flames com
municated to the adjoining room, aui the floor
of the room above took tire, and soon all tho
upper portion ol the building was in Hainc.
Tho third story was occupied by Mr. Crozct as
a printing office. He loses everything. In the
back part of this roou, and also in the loft, was
stowed away a large lot of furniture, the pro
perty of private parties, wno rented the rooms
lor the purpose.
Mr. Lautrhlin rescued his instruments nml
phow-case by passing tnem out of the window.
His lo is about $aUO, which is partially in
sured. Robert Leirgett occupied the srround
floor as an iron and steel btore. His stock is
considerably damaged by water, and is insured.
The building belongs to Kobcrt Lepgett, is
valued at $40,000, and U damaged to the extent
Of $15,000; insured.
Owing to a great many of the Ore-plug iu the
vicinity being frozen, it was with ereatdilliculty
suilicient water could be procured. A trreut
many ot thein were thawed out, and then all the
water that was required was obtained. This
fire is but an illustration of the evils that will
result from the criminal neglect of the parties
having charge of the fire-plugs not having thetu
property guarded against the cold.
The scene at the Ure was very grand aud im
pressive. Large volumes of dense black smoke
rolled up in au immense column that was plainly
seen for miles, and gave an idea ot a much
larger tire than really took ila;e.
The furniture aud iurnihing store of A. IIol
landd was damaged considerably oy water.
The Gbeat Salu, of oil Paintings at
Scott's Art Galleut, No. 1020 Chcsnut street,
Ls continued this evening, at 74 o'clock. We
Lave already noticed this collection at conside
rable length; but as the sale will close this
evening, we cannot refrain from aguiu urging
on our readers the expediency of improvlug'tho
opportunity which will then be oll'ered them of
adding to their collection of paintings come
gems that aro of rare merit and striking execu
tion. As a general thing, our people are alto
gether too lukewarm in their devotion to those
pursuits from which spring the true and sub
stantial amenities of civilized life. This is
accounted for by the comparative youthtulness
ot the nation, and the rapidity with which it is
expanding in all the elements ot material pros
perity. We have not time, it is said, to give much
attention to art and kindred subjects, which do
not contribute visibly to our search aft?r the
happlne.-s which is found in wealth and social
standing. But we shojld take the time and
devote a little of our means to such objects, if
we would bo rich in all the elements of true re
finement and true national greatness.
For these reasons we urge our readers to
attend the last saleof the D'Huyvetter collection
of paintings this evenine. . The bet gems on
the catalogue are then to be disposed of, and
they will all be sold without reserve.
'The Ckosbt Akt Association. As an
earnest of the success of this great enterprise,
and the approaching finale, w would mention
that committees have buen selected from tho
principal cilies throughout the country to visit
Chicago, to superinted the award of premiums
lo be made there on the 21st of January. The
committee from this city will consist of Messrs.
William B. Thoma, Caleb H. Needles, and
Richard Smith, ot the firm of L. Johnson & Co.
These are all gentlemen of the highest stand
ing in this community, and their names should
be a guarantee ol the entire fairness uud honesty
of the proposed distribution.
We aie informed that a great number of
shares have been disposed of within the past few
days as Christmas presents. No more acceptable
present could made than one of the beautiful
engraving of the Association, together with a
certificate entitling the holder to a chance in
the great award, including the opera house itself.

INTKUKSTINOCUABK AfTKB A FoR'iEU.
Pnmucl L. Intro, alins Georiro W. Ilrown, em
ployed as a book-Keeper by the firm of Dunlap,
AtwatcT A Co., doing business at No. 11 Nona
Water street, on the 30th of November forged a
chect fcr SI480, on the Mechanics' National
IJHiik, in tbo name ol the firm.
He then vatno cd the ranch. Information
was promptly sent to Detective (Jeorge 11.
fnntb, who had great difficulty in learning
where the young man hailed Irom, and also in
geUiuu Ms aesenption.
The business manager of the firm. Mr. Dun
Inp, who hud employed him, wi absent from
the city at the time, and the other members ot
the hrm knew nothing of his history. Smitn
finally found out wheie he boarded, In Chesnut
street, with a very respectable family, and ascer
tained Irom that place tbHt a day or two pre
viously ho had mentioned that he was going to
have his portruit taken.
He also said be had seciireoS some eople of
the photographs to send V bs friends iu th
country. Smith traced hlru thjoujli the conn
try Through Pennsylvania to Koche-ter, N. V.,
at.d from thence t. Montreal, Canada. When
he heard of Page, being in Canada, Mnith went
on to Montreal, and tiiere lound several detec
tives from Chicago, after other parties who had
('mmlitert crimes in that city,
liilu a conversation with theiu. he learned that
they had shipprd this young man. supposing
lnm to be one o- tho parties that had committed
ft murder in Chicago. They lound it was not
him, and let him go.
Learning this, Smith, of course, thought Ms
case was pone up. and suppose I that, as he
b.id been arrested by the other parties, that he
wouid fly to some other city. In fact, he did so.
It was snowing terribly at the time, and Smith
inquired and learned of a mnn driving a sleiL'U
that be had driven this voting tnan to one ol the
depots, but he was too I ite lor the train.
He learned from another man that he ha I
driven the same party to another d'-pot. where
he purrhnset a ticket lor Burlington, Vt.
He immediately took the train for that pl:xv,
and going to the leading hotels, was uu,.ble to
learn anything of him.
He then went to different lumber offices, and
a-ke l it a young man, giving Tage's description,
had been looking for employment, knowing
that; he was a well-educated young mm, and
would, in all probability.be looking tor some
thing to do. At one plu'ce the last oue he in
quired at he showed tucphotograoh to several
persons standing in the otlicc, but hone of them
knew him.
Oue who was standing a short distance off
asked to see the photograph. He immediately
said, alter seeing it, "That is the young man
that is boarding at tho same house with me."
f mnn and tno man then went out to pay a visit
to the house. As they weut up tho street the v
saw Tuee driving down the street in a sleigh, at
a ery fast pace.
They followed him to a stable where he left
the horse and sleigh, and arrested him. Thev
found $.1(10 upon him, and learned that he hail
left $100 at a town in this State, at the hoine
where he had stopped in goiug through. Tliev
oiougnt mm on to this tHty. A case was male
out against him, and he will be tried iu a tew
days.
A Pleas akt Fair. The ladies connected
with the Church of the Nativity, at the coiner
of Eleventh and Mount Vernon streets, are now
holding a fair in the basement of the church,
tor the sale ol useful and fancy articles. Tu
proceeds of the salo are lor the benefit of the
Sunday School and the poor of the pan-h.
Persons in w. nt of goods for Christmas presents
can, no doubt, be suited, if they will on y call
and look at the splendid display offeied at the
church. They will al.-o assist iu a good cao-,
in taking care of the poor and helping the Sun
day School.
Entf.bpeisino. In passing by the scene
of the fire which but a short time ago destro ed
the extensive terra-cotta work of Alessr-. Liiu k
tV Black, on Seventh street, near the German
town road, we noticed with pleasure that these
gentlemen, nothing deterred by the disaster
that betel them, were clearing away the debiis
and completing the large building, ust erected,
in which they intend to manufacture on a much
larger scale than heretofore. They expect to
have all necessary preparations completed bv
the 1st of February, and will then be ready to
receive and till orders to the greatest satis
faction. Stealing Mackerel. John Maxwell, a
Bohemian of thievish propensities, picked up a
kit of mackerel from the front of a grocery
store at the corner of Twentieth and Spriu"
Garden streets, yesterday afternoon, and
walked off with it. He was arrested at
Twentieth and Green streets, and taken to the
lock-up. This morning, when he had a hear
ing before Alderman Hutchinson, the grocer
neelected to appear against the prisoner, and he
was held in $,wi hn't W o fnrb,or hearing.
A Stabbing Cask. Yesterday raorning
about three o'clock, Patrick Conlm was stabbed
in the abdomen in front of his residence, in
Carlton street, west of Seventeenth, by a young
mau named John, alias Trotter Boyle. The latter
resides In Culluwhill street, west ot Seventeenth.
Both of the young men had been to a dance at
lin southwest corner of Seventeenth aud Cal
low hill streets, and had some disagreement.
Crnilin refused to prosecute, his injuries not
being ol a very serious character.
