C'ltT Affair.
A man named Whiteman, belonging to
New York, was arrested on Sixth street, near
Market, yesterday, under circumstance
which created a good deal of excitement and
comment. The arrest was made ly Ooorgo
Mountjoy and Hubert Smith Lister, and
Whiteman, after being conducted to the front
of the new Court House, was placed in a car
riage and driven off. It wan nnderstood that
lie wan taken to the office of Alderman Devitt,
and bv him eonimitted to prison on the oath
fof Mount joy, who charged him with the rob
f bery of 40(H). Whitctuau had been arrested
several days previously, on the samo
or a similar charge made by George
Mountjoy, and committed by Alder
man Devitt, but bail having been
entered for him before Keeorder Orivin, ho
was liberated. The bail is said not to have
been satisfactory to the prosecutor, hence tho
t re-arrest. Mountjoy alleges that four thou-
nanii uoiiars wore stolen irom nun m j .iy -mount
I 'ark, who -e ho was invited to see a
man with a pateut right for a machino to
manufacture whisky by a new process, and
that while he had tho package of money in his
hand it was seized and carried oil", tho door
being closed and held to prevent him from
following. Wliiteiimn'n account of the affair
differs materially from that of Mountjoy. lie
admits that 'the money was not obtained
honestly, but denies that it was stolen.

Another l'trucl ivo I'lrc.
The large four-story brick building situated
at the northwest corner of Ninth and Wallace
streets, and a large three-story building ad
joining on Wallace street, were destroyed by
lire yesterday atternoon.
The flames were first discovered about
o'clock in the picker-room, immediately over
the boiler, towards the rear of tho lartrer
building, which was used for the manufacture
of woollen yarns, and owing to the combusti
tie nature of the material which thev fed
upon, and the scarcity of water, soon gained
Kuch a height as to bid defiance to all efforts
to suppress them. Within & snrnrisinolv
kbort time the roof and walls fell, and left
ILe building a complete wreck. Iu the uioun-
tijae tb fljuaea iiad communicated to the ad-
joining stmcturo, tho roof and walls of which
soon gave way, despite tho most strenuous
exertions of the firemen.
At one timo the surrounding property was
in imminent danger of destruction, the heat
being so intense as to crack the window panes
of the houses on tho opposite side of the
street, but they were finally saved by tho lire
men, who turned streams of water upon
them, it being apparent that all efforts to save
tho burning building would prove futile.
The supply of water was totally inadequate
to ho large a contlagration, four or five steam
ers of any considerable size being all that
could bo brought to bear upon it; had it been
otherwise, tho building adjoining the mill on
AVallaeo street would probably have boon
saved Tho citizens who resided in tho neigh
borhood at an early stage of tho tiro began
moving out their household effects, but for
tunately tho llames did not communicate to
any dwelling on Wallace street, the falling of
tho roofs of the blazing odilices preventing
it. The larger building was occupied on tho
first and second floors by 1). A V. King,
whose loss will probably not exceed IS,."''1",
which they have on tho stock and machinery,
in the following companies: .Etna, of New
York, .L'inH; A'Aim, of Hartford, .:;)(: Nia
gara, of New York, L'.V Ml; Commonwealth, of
New York, .-."iii; Pho-nix, of Hartford, .U'."i(;
Corn Exchange, of New York, -L'"0(, and tho
balance in companies that wo have not been
able to learn.
The third floor was occupiod by Jonathan
Stead, who has an insurance of !jjsoitO, which
will also probably cover his loss.
The fourth story was occupied
Pro., whose loss will not probably
insurance of sj'.ioim, which they
by Piatt &
exceed an
had upon
their stock, etc.
The above were all manufacturers
of
woollen yarns.
In the smaller building, fronting on Wal
lace street, the first lloor was occupied by
Geiershofer, Loewi & Co., covered-button
manufacturers, who estimate their loss at
"h,mi. Partially insured. The second and
third lloors were occupied by Charles Wil
liams, marble-paper manufacturer. His loss
is estimated at :;, m mi, and believed to bo
partially covered by insurance. The basement
was occupied by Meade A' llobbius, silver
plating manufacturers.
lief ore tho Humes had reached this building,
their stock, consisting of manufactured goods
and unworked metal, was removed, and tho
loss on machinery, which was of a hoavy
character, is not supposed to bo great, as tho
lloor above did not give way, and such damage
as there is must be from water. Adjoining
this building, on Wallace street, to tho west,
was a row of four three-story brick dwellings.
The occupants removed their furniture
soon after the lire began, and will probably
not sustain any further loss than that result
ing in breakage incident to a hasty removal.
The houses themselves are more or less
damaged by water; No. '.cj.'i, occupied by
Lewis Lobb and David Caywood (next the
building), being completely flooded. No. U2
was occupied by Mrs. Stemm and I'M ward
Potts; No. !L7 by Dr. G. W. Martindell and
G. AV. Carver; No. !l".t was comparatively
free from damage, occupied by Henry Koin
hold. The buildings destroyed were owned by
William Y. Petit, Esq., and probably could
not be erected at this time for much less than
!S" .())(. Ho also owned tho engine and
boilers which supplied motive power to both
buildings. The running machinery was tho
property of the occupants.
Dwelling JSo. ii' Aorta isintn street, partly
owned and occupied by Jacob Kehr, was
damaged about ('.0d by tho burning of roof
and water. Partially insured. No. (ill, roof
slightly damaged.

GiiTTYsiiuiai, Pa., August L'l. Before pro
ceeding on tho tour of inspection over tho
ground on which tho first day's fighting took
place, an impromptu meeting of the officers
of tho 1st and 11th Corps was held, at which
Major-General Meredith proposed that the
whole part v should be under tho guidance of
Colonel liachelder, tho designer of tho iso
metrical map, and he would point out tho
various positions where tho stakes were to bo
driven, subject to any correction from tho
participants in the light.
At ! o clock tne party started, and com
menced with the 1st Corps, which was repro-
. - rf, 1 - 1 I'll II 1 '
bculed iy wenerais lereunn, liouinson,
Fowler, Holl'nian, Leonard, Coulter, Colonel
Hi idskoper, and other subordinate otucers.
Seminary Ridge, tho point where tho Union
forces first came into the field, was tho Alpha
of the tour. While there, the course of tho
1st Corps from the Emmettsburg road was
clearly demonstrated, and tho line of march
of tho several regiments, and their resnoc-
tive positions, determined and marked. Tho
whole line, commencing at the left and
finishing at the right, was trudged over, to
the detriment ot polisned boots and tender
footed pedestrians.
The point of interest, and which attracted
more than ordinary attention on the left of
the hue, was tho spot at which General
Archer, of the Confederate army, in making
his advance, was attacked by tho Iron Bri
gade, and himself and a largo portion of his
command captured. In tho same grove is the
place where tho hero, John Fulton Reynolds,
the commander ot tho jst uorps, mot ins
death, it is supposed, by a ball from the mus
ket of a rebel sharpshooter from MePherson's
barn. Many were tho expressions of regret
nud eulogies on tho departed officer uttered
by the company ere they left the thicket.
'Ihe old barn excited tho curious, tor it was
there some of tho severest fighting took
place. Advances, as soon as they were made,
were followed by repulses, and vice vena for
some time. It was there Colonel Stone, com
manding tho brigade composed of the Ibid,
lr.Uh. and l.jiitn renusyivania oiuuieor
Reniinenls, was severely wounded and taken
prisoner, also Colonel Wistar. Tho ground
covered bv the ltth Brooklyn, !t.".th New
York, and llth Wisconsin, and where they
, ! 1 11 1
engaged the enemy, was vieweu ami iami-
marks erected, some in the centre, icic, ami
rk-ht. Iverson's North Carolina Brigade was
also portly captured a few yards from this
...... 1... 1?i-,lirar.Ti'u iliv'iuinll-
The 1 1th Corps was represenieu oy uoraiwn
Von Steinwehr, Vanamsburg, and other offi
cers. The portion of the lield occupiod by
this corps was gone over in the afternoon,
and the point of attraction was where General
Barlow was badly wounded and taken prisoner.
To-morrow Gulp's and Cometery Hills pro
mise to be rougher travelling than we have
had to-day. For the first time since my ar
rivul we have got a hand in which the noise
of the kettle drum more than eclipses the
harmony produced by the tarnished brass in
struments. . . ,
General Geary oaid other distinguished
olficers have arrived to-day, and tho hotel is
full from top to liottom. The weather has
betu (.uiury, bat boiuvuut oooiol' this evening,
still there re do tagns of a eJwwer, This
forenoon Rome of the prominent personages
broached the tnibject of a ball, and as soon as
the contagion had spread to tho fair sex they
took tho matter up with a vim, and, after a
few kind entreaties, gentle coaxings, and
"do, dear," their lords and masters consented
that the terpsichoreau entertainmont should
take place to-morrow evening. The telegraph
was put in operation, and a fine band from
Ilarrisburg was engaged.

that prior engagements would prevent him
from being present, and Walter H. Taylor,

hoped it might be in his power to attend, but
ho might be prevented from doing so by pri
vate business.
General Hancock, in a letter dated St.

from tho Plains, and regretted that it would
be impossible to be at Gettysburg on the i':!d
