Romantic Murder Trial—The Murdered
Man Suddenly Appears in Court Alive
and 'Well.
[From the Benton (M.) Standard, Feb. 3.]
A few weeks since we noticed the fact
of the finding of a human skeleton in
the woods about two miles east of this
place, by Mr. Benjamin Williams, and
of the verdict of the jury of inquest, de
signating the skeleton as the remains of
a young man by the name of Henry
Mahorn, and implicating David Wil
liams, a son of Benjamin Williams, as
his murderer. The circumstances sur
rounding the case were strongly against
the accused, as the missing young man
was last seen, in this community, about
a year ago, in company with Williams,
on their way to enlist in the army as
substitutes.
The accused, after an absence of a few
weeks, returned home alone,stating that
his comrade, Henry Mahorn, had en
listed in the 10th Regiment Missouri In
fantry. This appeared plausible at the
time, and Henry Mahorn was almoSt
entirely forgotten by our citizens, until
the finding of the skeleton in the woods.
The suspicions of our citizens were at
once aroused from the fact that the
Dlothing was Identified as the same-worn
1:) . 5r Mahorn when last seen.
The supposed murderer was immedi
ately arrested upon the rendering of the
verdict of the jury of inquest, and lodged
in the county jail to await his trial. On
Monday, the 15th inst., the prisoner was
brought into Court before his Honor,
Judge Duff, on a writ of habeas corpus.
The Court proceeded with the trial. The
circumstances, as revealed by the evi
dence, pointed directly to the prisoner as
the•murderer of Mahon, as the clothing
found was identified as his; and that
certain teeth which he was known to
have extracted in his lifetime were the
identical ones that were found wanting
in the jaws of the skeleton.
In fact the circumstance pointing to
the guilt of the accused were so strong,
that nine-tenths of the citizens of this
community were fully satisfied of his
guilt. • -
In the midst of the trial, imagine the
astonishment of the court, counsel, wit
nesses, the eager and excited syeeattors,
as well as the overwhelming joy of the
prisoner in the dock, by the sudden ap
pearance of Henry Mahorny propria
persona, in the court room, in full vigor
of life hale and hearty, giving the most
unmistakable evidence that he had not
been murdered, and that _the accused
was innocent of the heinous crime with
which he was charged. Theprisoner
was so overcome with joy at this , unex
pected and apparently provideool de
liverance from the suspicious circum
stances that surrounded him, that he
wepj like a child. The Judge at once
ordered the release of the accused.
It seems that Mahorn had joined the
army under an assumed name, and in
consequence was unable to hold corre
spondence with his:friends; and being
discharged but a few days previous to
the trial of the young man Williams, as
his murderer, he fortunately arrived in
Benton the very day the trial com
menced.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN NEW YORK.
The City Assembly Rooms and the
American Theatre Destroyed---
The Continental Hotel and
Other Buildings Seri
ously Damaged--Loss
About $150,000.
[From today's N. Y. Tribune.]
Shortly before 11 o'clock yesterday morn
ing a fire was discovered in the rear of the
American Theatre. No. 444 Broadway, and
so rapidly did the flames spread, that before
the Fire Department was on the ground in
full force, they had mounted into the City
Assembly Rotoms the scene of so many
balls and other gatherings.: The Fire De
partment, under Chief Engineer Kingsland,
were soon on the ground with their power
ful engines, and a dozen large streams were
soon playing upon the fire from the front
and rear.
1 strong effort was made to save the City
Assembly Roams, the firemen lying upon
their faces on the floor of the ball-room,
pipe in hand, playing upon the advancing
flames. All their efforts were useless, how
ever. The splendid Hall, with its fine deco
rations, frescoed ceiling, and all the appli
ances of a first-class ball-room, were soon
consumed, or a mass of charred ruins.
In the mean time the occupants of the
first floors of the front buildings, Nos. 442},
444, 446, 448 and 450, with the aid of the In
surance Patrol, were busily engaged in re
moving their goods from the premises oc
cupied by them, and leaving them for the
time being on the walk and in the base
ments on the opposite side of Broadway.
The furniture of the City Assembly Rooms,
George Alker, lessee, was in like manner
removed.
By 3 o'clock P. M., the flames were sub
dued and the amount of the loss could then
be ascertained. It was found that the
Assembly Rooms and the American Theatre
were completed gutted. The Continental
Hotel and some of the adjoining buildings
were seriously damaged.
From a statement made to the Fire Mar
shall by William Holmes, one of the singers
attached to the theatre, it would appear that
the fire originated in he property-room of
the theatre by a stove pipe becoming de
tached.
The City Assembly Rooms occupied the
third stories of Nos. 4424 and 450 inclusive,
having a frontage of 125 feet on Broadway,
and having a depth of 100 feet. The dancing
ball is destroyed, but the front of the build
ing, comprising the stores on the first floor
and the withdrawing rooms and bar on the
upper floors, are only damaged by water.
The original building was burned on the
night of December 20, 1854, and rebuilt by
George W. Miller in 1856, at a cost of over
$lOO,OOO. It is built upon a leasehold of
ground belonging to the Lorillard estate.
On the death of Mr. Miller it was purchased
from the lessees by Mr. Edward Matthews,
the present owner. The lose on the building
will amount to about $75,000. Insured for
$70,0e0 on the building and $lO,OOO on the
rents.
The loss of Mr. Alker, the lessee of the
Assembly ROOMS, will amount to about
$2,000. Insured for $1,500 on bar and $l,OOO
on furniture in the People's Company.
The , ' American Theatre was owned by
Robert F. Butler, and situated in the rear of
No. 444. The amusements consisted of a
selection of songs, dances, burlesques, eta.,
of a rather low character. For many years
it was the scene of the triumphs of the cele
brated Christy Minstrel troupe, and as such
obtained a wide celebrity. Mr. Butler's loss
on scenery, properties, etc., will amount to
about $20,000. Believed to be insured.
There were aboutss persons employed in the
theatre. These, of course, are temporarily
thrown out of employment. Billy Holmes,
one of the singers, loses S2AO on wardrobe.
Charley White, negro delineator, loses about
$l,OOO on wardrobe. James Wambold, also
a singer, loses $1,200 from a similar cause.
Thompson and Kerr, who exhibited some
performing dogs,lose about $1,500 on dresses
and appointments. A number of the ballet
girls lose about VOO on wardrobe. None of
the above are insured.
The Continental Hotel and Dining Rooms
are occupied by John C. Currin (It Co. The
windows on the side adjoining the fire, and
the top floor are somewhat damaged by fire,
white the entire building is saturated with
water. The loss will amount to about $15,-
000. The stock and fixtures are insured for
$37,000 in the following companies; Com
monwealth, Pacific, New York, Peoples,
Baltic, Park, Brevoort, and Star, $4,000
each, and Indemnity $5,000. The owner of
the building was not ascertained. The loss
on building will amount to about $3,000.
Some of the boarders lost clothing and other
articles.
The first floor of Nd. 4421, was occupied by
W. Solomon, dealer in imported cigars. His
stock was removed without much damage.
Loss on stock and fixtures about $600; in
sured for $1,500 each in the Croton and
Humboldt Companies.
No. 446, first floor, was occupied by T. D.
Barnard, dealer in cheap jewelry. His stock
was removed in safety. Loss slight.
The first floor of No. 448 *as occupied by
M. Eisemann, dealer in boots and shoes.
Hie stock was also removed in good condi
tion. Loss on fixtures and stock about
$500; insured for $6,000 in the Central Park
and one other Company.
No. 448.1 was occupied by Sidney W.
Clark, grocer. His stock was removed, but
somewhat damaged in so doing. Insured
for $2,500 in the Pacific Company.
No. 450, a five story building, was oc
cupied by Hoover, Stone & Co., dealers in
hats, caps and strawgoods. Their store ex
tended from Broadway to Crosby street,and
their stock was a very heavy one. It was
much damaged by removal. Loss on stock
and, fixtures about $15,000; fully insured.
The basement was occupied by P. J. Jetter,
barber and hair dresser. Considerable loss
on stock and fixtures. Insured for -2,000 in
the Hamilton Company.
No. 12 Crosby street is occupied by Isa
bella Lee. Loss on furniture, by water,
about $2OO. The furniture is owned by
Bendel' di; Scott and is insured for $2,000.
No. 14 is occupied by A. Seyfert as a
dwelling. Loss on furniture, by water,
about $200; insured for $2,000 in the Ger
mania Company.
Several of the adjoining buildings were
slightly damaged by water, the Fire De
partment having taken their pipes through
the hallways for the purpose of playing
upon the fire in the rear.
THE NAVAL RACE.—The naval race be
tween ;the stea9aers Winooski and Algon
quin, for the porpose of testing the relative
powers of their engines and their speed,
has, for the present at least, summarily ter
minated, both vessels having returned to
the Navy Yard yesterday afternoon. The
Winooski, on the completion of her third
heat around Falkner's Island, was seventy
mika ahead "of the,Algonqttin, but owing to
a severe storm, which set in on Wednesday
night, they were 'both compelled to seek

TSL DAILY EIVENING BOLLETIN; Fitl-DAY,- FEBRUARY 16,.1866:
THE LlircOLN • INsTrru'rE.—The ladie s '
who have started the new Home for the
orphans of soldiers and sailors have de
cided to call it "The Lincoln Institute, or
Soldiers' Orphan Boys' Home." We are
glad to learn t hat t he Managers are meeting
with much encouragement in their laudable
enterprise.
This institution will furnish a Home for
boys until they are old enough to , be ap
prenticed to a trade, and will possess, in
this feature, a great advantage over the sys
tem of binding children out at an age too
early to allow of their learning good' trades.
A charity like this, in the hands of ladies of
experience and ability, ought to meet with
the most cordial support in this community.
General Meade and our worthy Mayor
have given it their heartiest endorsement,
and we hope that it will very soon be placed
in a position to put the benevolent and
patriotic designs into practical operations.
Mr. L. H. Redner, 152 South Fourth street,
is acting as' Treasurer and will gladly re
ceive all donations, large or small, towards
carrying the project into effect.
PRESENTATION.-A very interesting and
pleatiant incident took place at the stated
meeting of Eastern Star Lodge of Masons
on Wednesday evening last. After the
business of the lodge had been concluded,
and before the adjournment, Mr. George P.
Little, who had served the craft for many
years as secretary, was called in front of the
master's desk and addressed in a neat
speech by Mr. James C. Adams, who closed
his remarks by presenting to Mr. Little a
massive silver pitcher.
The affair, although arranged some time
back, was a surprise to the worthy secreta
ry. but he received the gift in the most feel
ing manner. The pitcher bears upon
it the following inscription : "Pre
sented by Eastern Star Lodge, No. 186, A.
Y. M., to Brother George P. Little, who, for
twenty-three years , has served the odge
faithfully as secretary.
"Committee : Thomas S. Begley. James
C. Adams, E. Harper Jellies, James H.
Boswell, A. H. Derickson."
HIGHWAY RossEirr.—Hamilton Quinn
who has been in the custody of the police
before, was arrested yesterday by High
Constable Joseph Barton, and taken before
Alderman Delaney upon the charge of high
way robbery. It seems that on the 25th day
of October last, Mrs. Jane Patterson, the
widow of a soldier, who died in Anderson
vile prison, received through the 11. S.
Christian Commission, her husband's back
pay and bounty amounting to $l7O. On her
way borne she stopped at a store in the
southwestern part of the city to buy a can
dle. Quinn and another man, it is alleged,
followed her from the store to the street,
where Quinn seized her by the throat and
held ber while his companion took the
money from her bosom. The rascals also
robbed her of a new clock which she had
just purchased. Quinn was committed to
answer at court.
Row AND SHOOTING ON CHESTNUT
STREET.—Last evening, about seven
o'clock, there was quite an excitement at
Seventh and Chestnut street, caused by a
difficulty between two men named John
Scott and James Hamm. It appears that
Hamm gave Scott a diamond ring valued
at $l3O, to sell for him. The two went to
gether to a place in the lower part of the
city, and Scott, instead of selling the ring,
jumped out of the window with it and
made off. Last evening Hamm met Scott at
Seventh and Chestnut streets, and Spoke to
hint about the matter. Scott, it is alleged,
immediately attacked Hamm, and knocked
him down. Hamm regained his feet, and
drawing a pistol, fixed at Scott. The ball
from the weapon missed its mark, however.
A couple of Reserve officers then interfered,
and arrested both men. A hearing in the
case will take place this afternoon, at the
Central Station.
ALLEGED IMPOSTOR ARRESTRD.—An
Englishman, named Edward Brice, was
yesterday arrested by Officer Reeder, upon
the charge of swindling. It appears, that
for five years past, he has been in the habit
of calling upon different clergymen, pre
senting letters purporting to come from
other ministers, and obtaining money,
clothing and other relief for his family.
One of the Rev. gentlemen observed Brice
very finely dressed a few days ago and
watched him. He went to market and pur
chased a venison steak, a lot of oranges and
other delicacies. The family of Brice con
sists of a wife and two children and they
occupied a couple of third story rooms in a
house No. 703 Christian street. These apart
ments were furnished in rather a poor man
ner. Brice was committed by Alderman
Hurley.
SKATING.—The lovers of skating have
now another opportunity of enjoying them
selves. The weather has undergone a great
change since Wednesday night, and the
mercury is now down close to zero. The
small streams and ponds about the city are
all frozen and the ice is in good condition.
The various skating parks are all in full
operation, and during yesterday afternoon
and this morning there were hundreds of
ladies and gentlemen flitting about on run
ners. The Schuylkill is again tight, but the
ice is not yet of sufficient thickness to per
mit persons to venture upon it without
danger. If the present cold snap continues
a day or two longer there will again be ex
cellent skating above the dam.
FIRE PROOF SAFE BLOWN OPEN.—Last
night about twelve o'clock a liquor store,
No. 904 Vine street, was entered by forcing
open a back door. The fire proof safe was
charged with gunpowder and was blown
open, but no plunder was obtained. About
this time Officer McCalley, of the Sixth Dis
trict Police, discovered a young man named
James W. Conner, in the back yard, and
took him into custody. A jimmy and a
dark lantern were found in his possession.
The prisoner had a bearing before Alderman
Jones this morning and was committed in
default of $3,000 bail.
LARCENY OF A DIAMOND RlNG.7—This
morning, before Ald. Tittermary, Richard
Dillon was charged with the larceny' of a
diamond ring, valued at $5OO, the property
of a man belonging to New York. The lat
ter attended a ball at the Academy of Music
on Wednesday night, and got pretty well
intoxicated. He brought up finally at a
house in the neighborhood of Sixth and
Shippen streets, where, it is alleged, the
ring was stolen. The ring was recovered
and Dillon*was committed for trial.
ROBBING A SOLDIER.— Mary Howara,
Charles Keller, Jacob Gilbert, Iran Mur
phy (aged 16 years), and Annie Carter, had
a hearing before Ald. Hutchinson yester
day afternoon, upon the charge of having
stolen $260 from John Dorsey, a discharged
soldier, who is nearly blind. The robbery,
it is alleged, was committed at the hotise of
Mary Howard, No. 1340 Wood street. The
money was taken by Murphy and was di
vided among the rest of the party. TEe de
fendants were all committed to answer.
ROBBERY.—The dwelling of Hon. Alex.
Henry, on School lane, near the Falls of
Schuylkill, was entered on Wednesday
evening, through the front window, and
was rohbed of some jewelry and a number
of other articles,
WOODEN BUILDINGS.—The High Con
stables yesterday ordered to be taken down
three wooden buildings which had been
erected contrary to the ordinances of the
city.

purpose of calling the attention of the Pre

of the case, to which his attention has been
called. A grand mass meeting will be held
to-morrow afternoon at Grover's Theatre,
at which time the conduct of Great Britain
will be severally denounced. Generals
Banks and Butler have been written to to
address the meeting.

has been informed that the government
intends to make short work with this class
of men and papers.
The special committee on debts of the
loyal States have prepared their bills. I

et - mors SACRILEGE. —The Episcopal
Church at Riverton, N. J., was entered on
Tuesday night by some maliciously disposed
person. The cabinet organ was defaced and
destroyed by tearing out the keys. The
book markers and part of the communion
linen was stolen by the marauder, who,
however, left the vestments untouched. A
window was broken, but as the glass was
found on the outside of the building, it is
evident that the church was entered, with
false keys and the window broken to divert
investigation. The doors and windows
were all left fastened. The object appears
to have been malicious mischief rather than
plunder.
