.4L Pim WTI( sroale SPOILED. . - - Taket Truth about "The 'Wickedest nark; • la new TorlE. l9 • ilarpor'4 ireckly spoils .the very pretty stories about "the wickedest man in New York" iu this fashion: THE "WICKEDEST HE IS One of our New York city reporters has lately teen exciting the sympathies of citizens and the curiosity of friends at a distance by a highly colored sensational account of John Allen, the keeper of a low &mace-house in Water street, who is designated as "the wickedest man In N. York." The story, told with the perfect art of a practiced sensational par.sgraphlat, has been widely circu lated and extensively believed. It. really contains not more than a grain of truth and that grain is distorted and discwored 'until it Is not recognizable. The fact is that John Allen Is probably no worse, and certainly no bet ter, than .11113 - peculiar class. He is the keeper of one of the lowest of the many vile haunts for sailors to be found in this as in every great mari time city; and he deliberately, calculatingly, and cunningly, makes money by the prostitution of women and the drunkenness of men. He is a man with some little education,for the most part picked up from newspapers and the current literatire of the day; but he is superior in this respect only to the men in the same line of business, and far inferior in general intel ligence to the majority of our mechanics. He is without moral sentiments, and never had a re ligions idea; ho reads religious papers, tracts, books, hymns, itc., apparently only for the pur pose of making a display and exhibition of his knowledge, just as negro minstreli sometimes amuse the thoughtless by burlesques, of religious exercises. He is a powerful man, and his roughest visitors hold him in awe; being a shrewd man. he knows the importance of keeping an orderly house, and it is due to him to say that he en forces order in his house and vicinity. He is as' good as an extra policeman in his block, and hence the certain amount of respect in which the police hold him. Our sensationally-dhiposed friend, with a number of missionaries, visited and saw the man and hie establishment under peculiar circumstances. When any member of the Health Board, which possesses certain powers and much influence with the Pollee Commissioners, visits his house, John Allen naturally makes it look as clean and healthy as possible; when, ank_of the various efty missionaries, who have their infin. 7 , Once also . with the Police commissioners, cal, ho "puts on his religions face," as he expresses it, and makes his establishment appear as respect able and moral as possible. These were the ideas which he expressed to this writer, when he, with an artist, called to see and portray the house and the man just as they are. In tact it was the doleful burden of his whole con versation that Mr. Dyer, his biographer, .had H painted him too white. o seemed to feel, and certainly argued, that he, unlike another individ ual who keeps an extensive dance-house in even .hotter_regions__than. Water_ street,_. was blacker than be was painted. We can not quote all the language which he used in expressing this idea to us. "Mr. Dyer," he said, Very nearly as we give It here, though not verbatim, oaths, indecency, and all, "Mr. Dyer saw my place under peculiar dr eams-twee& - Whetra - gen tierrurn - comes - herowe eixietv?or to treat himright. We try to entertain each Man in the way he likes best; if a minister comes, we can sing hymns with him, and he can hear Chester 'say his catechism ; but we've got liquor, and there's the women for them as has the stamps to spend that way. (Mother ! mother !" he exclaimed to his wife, as a couple of men walked through the outer-room into the dance hall—a sort of cage where the women seemed to be confined like wild beasts—"a couple of drinks for these gentlemen.") Then he returned to his argument with us, telling of the performance at night, taking care to impress on our minds the fact that they were very different from those which the. , ministers witnessed, and illustrating the style of his evening visitors by imitations of their drunken manner, and quotations from their filthy and profane language. He denounced Mr. - Dyer very roundly, and -spoke of him with great contempt as a "sensa tion writer." He objected to being called "the wickedest man in New York." 4 'l. am not the wickedest man," he said. "I do a great deal more for the poor than the sensa tion writers, any how. J, feed the hungry and clothe the naked. I give away all my cast-off clothing, and I've taken many a poor fellow to Chatham street and bought him shoes. And I let 'em sleep here by the stove on cold nights. My neighbors will tell you that there ain't a more charitable man in the street than John And certainly the neighbors— police, mer chants, and all—say John Allen is a quiet, peaceful, law-abiding, generous, and charitable man. "And Mr. Dyer speaks of my house as if it was a den," he said, suddenly, after a brief conversa tion with a drunken peddler who had stopped at the door to pats the compliments of the morn ing, and swear a while at a truckman who had `insulted him. "It's nothing of the kind. It's a boarding-house—just like yours," he added to our artist, thereby causing that gentleman to wince a little, and then blandly smile his appre ciation of the remark. "The women pay their board just as you do. Many of them are old. and don't make money and can't pay; but I never turn 'em out into the street on that ac count. They pay in what they make and do odd chores about the house. The other women who make more pay their board, and spend the rest for clothee—" And then, a, if suspecting some one would suggest it, he quickly added, "and whisky." Apparently the most of it went for whisky, for the several women that we saw had very little clothing upon their persons, and a great deal of the peculiar color that comes from excessive drinking in their faces. They were old, ugly, haggard, bestial and toothless—" One set of teeth to seven women." suggested a companion—and generally pitiable beyond expression. Allen was asked in regard to his promise to Commissioner Acton to quit the business. "I did promise," he said. "Mr. Acton sent foe me to come to headquarters. I went up, and there I found Dyer with him. I had made up my mind not to speak to Dyer again because of his misstatements about me, but there I was face to face with him, and I would not run away. Mr. Acton asked me if I would quit the business, and after a while I said I would.and promised to-quit by May 1, or sooner if I could. And I he added, emphatically, "for the bu. , iness is ruined. I'm overrun by people that come here to look at me, as if I was a wild beast. They bore me to death and don't spend any money. I have to see hundreds of them a day." • This last remark was meant for a clerical-look ing gentleman, who had entered the room a few minutes previously. He had come, as he said, to pay his respects to Mr. Allen, and to say how much he admired him for his determination to quit the business. "I'm much obliged to you" replied John Allen, extending his hand. "Vie always try to treat our friends right. I've had a good many visitors lately. I'm always glad to see all them that come to spend their stamps. I don't care much to see any others. The fact is," he added in an undertone to the writer, "I'm bored to death by just such fellows." As we had not come to "spend any stamps," I suggested to the artist to take the hint and leave. lie remained, however, to witness the examina tion of the boy, little Chester, which was an nounced as the next feature in the entertain ment. This writer, having very little disposition for any further performances, took his leave. English Opinion of the Chinese lilts. rion. One of the very ablest, and certainly the most liberal of the London journals—the Spectator— has apparently entered upon a crasade against the Chinese Embassy headed by Mr. Burlingame, which promises to embarrass its negotiations with Lord Stanley not a little. The cheerfal and facetious mood in which the Spectator opens its batteries fails to cover or blunt the point of its attack. It makes men,- over the "picturesque ness of the event," and the "very feminine ap pearance of the interproers." it imagines, or affects to believe, that our sense of the-ridiculous-here has--been hugely tickled—by the whole affair. Then the writer seems to find •A- an effective weapon of attack in Mr. Burlingame's nationality; but if the Ambassador himself lays no claim to any additional authority for his mis t,. Eden because he happens to have been born an - .Ainericari," why should the London journalist throw his nationality in his teeth ? And is it fair, or is it true, to say that Mr. Burlingame goes to London "to represent that the Government of the „united States_ssidies Chiva to be admitted with- Out - treaties tub) the family of the The :United States wishes nothing of the sort. Our Government has seedred an amplification and amendMent of the treaty of 1858 on its own ac- count. It's not specially concerned whether the I, adlng powers of Europe framo similar treaties or not. it certainly dots not charge itself with the tatk of getting China or env other commu nity admitted •Into the family of the world with out treaty." Such a suggestion is the offspring of ignorance or malice, or both. OITY FIRE IN THE NINTH WARD—NARROW ESCAPE FROM SUFFOCATION.—This morning sa fire broke out in a three-storied brick building,No: 704 Arch street, owned by John Bowman. The basement, first story and some of the rooms in the upper part of the building wore occupied by Mr. Bow man for the manufacture and sale of silver and plated-ware. Tke third-story and a part of the second story were occupied by J.R. Applegate as a photograph gallery. The flames originated in the photograph establishment, in the third story, and, owing to the combustible nature of the contents of the apartment, they spread very rapidly. There was in the building an old dumb-waiter, which has not been in use for some time, and the fire dropped through the well-hole to the basement. • The fire had been burning for some time before it was discovered, and the alarm given, and when the firemen got into ser vice the flames were raging fiercely. Before they were extinguished the upper part of tho building was completely wrecked, and the whole structure was flooded with water, Mr. Applegate's photograph establishment was entirely destroyed. He valued his furniture, fixtures, material, r&c., at $2,600. Upon this there is an insurance of $1,500, s in the Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania. Mr. Bowman had on band a fine stock, which was much damaged by water and smoke. His loss will be considerable. He has an insurance of $13,600 in Now England companies, on his stock and fixtures. This will be more than sufficient to cover the loss. At the time of the fire Mr. Applegate and Harry Bowman, a eon of the owner of the build ing;were asleep in a room in the rear of the pho tograph gallery, in, the third story. They were aroused by the suffocating smoke and the crack ing of the flames. They ran through the fire and smoke to the main staircase leading to the street, and thus escaped from a horrible death. The origin of the fire is mysterious, and is being investigated by Fire •Marshal Blackburn. About eight o'clock thismorning the smoulder ing flames broke out again, and the firemen wore recalled to the scene. After considerable work the fire was finally extinguished. INCREASE IN THE PRICE OF GAS.-AL meeting of the Board of 'trustees of the Philadelphia Gas Works wasUld yesterday, and it was resolved that the price of gas consumed on and after August 1,180,be advanced to $2 55 per 1,000 cu bic feet, subject to the United States tax of 25 cents per 1,000, with an additional charge of five per cent. if not paid wEildii five days. Chief Engineer Brown in making the an nouncement of the advance says : "This increase In the price of gas is owing to the Trustees being compelled to advance the wages of the employi:s of the Department to such --a-figure-as-to'-amount-in-the-aggregate -for-one Tear to $11Q,193 39, 'while the advance in the price of gas, based on the private consumption of the year 1867, amounts to $103,130 85."

SUPPOSED THEFT OF REVENUE STAM .—A man named Thomas Harvey, who was very drunk, was arrested last night at Sixth street and Girard avenue.
