FIRE YESTERDAY MoRNING.-About a
quarter to two o'clock yesterday morning a
fire was discovered in an unoccupied one
story frame house, at the corner of Philip
and Locust streets, owned by Mr.. Miller.
The flames extended to three other cot
tages, also the property of Mr.. Miller, and
all four were wholly destroyed. They
were recently purchased at sherif's sale,
and it is not known whether they are in
sured or not A cottage belonging to Mr.. N
Miller, which was also consumed, is insured
in the Lafayette Office for sixteen hundred
dollars. The disaster, it is thought, was
the work of an incendiary.

Loss AND RECOVERY OF SEyEN-THIRrY
CERTIFICATE.-Recently an employee in the
Office Of Mr.. Shaw, Administrator of Public
Accounts, missed certificate, the face OF
which was for S775 65, drawn to the order
of James Fallon, but the document was in.
complete, lacking date and number Mr.
Wood, gentleman of well known capacity
and undoubted integrity, is the clerk in
charge of that department, and had written
the certificate, leaving it on his desk Satur-
day morning Soon afterward he missed it.
but had no idea that it had been stolen.
Monday morning, not finding the certih-
cate, Mr.. Wood mentioned the loss to Mr..
Shaw. Mr.. Burke, also employee in he Adj
ministrator's Office, was Instructed to look
into the case. He visited several brokers'
offices, and found the document in the Of
fee of Mr.. Strauss, a money broker on st.
Charles street.
The date and number had been inserted,
but the number was wrong, being las in
stead of 745, indicating that the person who
had made the additions had an idea OF what
the-figures should be. Mr.. Strauss stated
that he had purchased the certificate of
Mr.. +. Merle, another st. Charles street
broker, last Saturday, paying at the rate of
about eighty-nine cents on the dollar for it.
Mr.. Merle was easily found, and when an
explanation was demanded of him as TO
where he procured it, he said that he had
bought it of man with gray beard, whose
mama aud ooa,pa+;op rara nu+;raI1 ~,
known to him. At this stage it was dis
tinetly remembered that Mr.. Merle had been
in Mr.. Shaw's office last Saturday and
sat or stood close to Mr.. Woods table at
the time the certificate was slying on the
table, the record book, with proper number
in it exposed to view. A person standing
where Mr.. Merle did could have seen the
number, although bottom upward. 1t will
be noticed that the inserted number is AS,
which should be 745. A man looking at the
record book might easily mistake
the figure seven for the figure one,
even though the book were not reversed
Mr.. Merle, failing to produce or indicate
who the party was from whom he says he
purchased the certificate, placed himself in
dilemma, out of which he must emerge as
best he may, as an affidavit was made
charging him with the crime. A warrant
was issued, but at late hour last night Mr.
Merle was not arrested, although he visited
police headquarters two or three times, and
even expressed wish to deliver himself up
to any one who had the warrant. He will
to-day appear before Recorder Houghton,
he says, and take the consequences, if there
are any consequences, so far as he is con-
cerned. He denies all knowledge of the
theft.

CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPoNs-Ordey
from the administrator of Police.-Admin-
istrator Lewis has issued the following order
to the several Recorders:
DEPARTMENT POLICE
Administrators Ofics, New Orleans, May 8, 1871.
Homicides and assaults with dangerous
weapons are almost of daily occurrence in
this city. Reports show such an alarming
increase of crime in this respect, that de-
mands are made upon every official, whose
duty it is to preserve the peace of the city,
to use every effort to abate this evil.
The primary cause of so much bloodshed
is doubtless to be attributed to the habit of
carrying concealed weapons. Police officers
frequently complain that when arrests are
made for carrying concealed weapons, the
parties are dismissed by the recorders, and
their weapons returned.
The law on this subject is plain, and re
corders have no alternative but to bind
over the offender to keep the peace and to
require his appearance before the district
court to answer the charge.
The Administrator, after calling atten-
tim of recorders to this matter, INDUCES
the hope that all persons whatsoever brought
before them for carrying concealed weapons
will be summarily committed to the district
court for trial by jury. BY direction OF the
Administrator:

Taking a tale as reported by a very old
man, bunco is not dead, nor is it sleeping
very soundly This gray-haired man from
Penn county, Texas came down with ninety
five bales of cotton, and about the first bit
of hard work he did was to visit his mer-
chants on Union street and make draw.
With his fat pocketbook safely in his pocket
he stroiled forth to see the sights. He had
not travelled far before a ratty looking young
man met and said he knew him; but the
man of many years was unable to remen-
Der the well hammered youth. This nice
young man was very plausible, and was
ready to show his Texas friend all the
sights, but he must first visit a
lottery office on the second floor of
st. Charles street house, where he had
won prize of fifty dollars, and he invited
Texas to. go up with him. Texas went, and
not only saw sight, but was taught lesson
at cost of one hundred and. fifty dollars.
The youth presented his lottery ticket, and
received his cash, instantly dropping down
a small sum of money for more chances. He
won much wealth, when he induced the elder
iy stranger to try his luck. Stranger did try,
shaking the dice until the spots nearly came
of, but he could not win, although he CONT
nued to double up until his spending money
bad disappeared AT that point he began to
think he had been gambling, and felt sore
over the disagreeable thought, as his habits
for years have been inclined toward the
moral. Pacing the streets and meeting one
of his country acquaintance, they COM
pared notes, when they concluded that the
proper way to proceed was to call on the
Chief of Police for an explanation. The
more he thought the worse he felt, and
finally visited police headquarters, where
he made the above statements. Detective
Pearson thought he understood the case,
and started out to find the culprits. When
he finds them developments will show that
bunco is not dead entirely.
