Fire-The Case OF Carl VOgt,

PHILADELPHIA, March 20.-A disas-
trous fire occurred at $50 this morning,
which almost totally destroyed the
Opera House OF Simmons e. Slocum,
Nos. 1908 and 1905 Arch street. The

and property rooms. The Opera House
was occupied by Simmons d Slocum 8

terest each in the property. The loss
to the building is $4,000.
Carl Vogt, who was recently arrested
on a charge OF numbering and robbing
Chevalier de Bianco, in Brussels, a
portion Of the stolen property being
found upon his person, and whose trial
for larceny is now pending before
Judge Cardozo on a writ OF habeds
corpus for discharge, the counsel urging
that there is nothing in the evidence
thus far connecting him with the muir
der or robbery, the Assistant District
Attorney opposed the application,
read q letter to the prisoners wife in
Philadelphia instructing her as TO the
disposal Of certain property connected
with this affair and asked for delay, on
the ground that certain Witnesses
were now on their way from Brussels.
Il appears that under the treaty with
Belgium Vogt cannot be extradited.
The only way to hold him is under the
statute providing for the punishment Of
parties bringing the proceeds Of robbery
into this State. At the conclusion Of
the argument Vogt was remanded to

Of Braxton county, departed this life

MARrlNsvlLLE IrEMs.-Burglars.-It
will be recollected that about the 22d
of last August, some person, or persons
entered Mr.. L. Spence's office, and sue
ceeded in Dreaming open the safe, and
carried off about $265 in money and
fourteen notes drawn by different per.
sons, payable to Mr.. Spence. amounting
in all to about $500. Certain parties
were arrested, but the Court, after hear
ing the evidence, discharged them, not
considering the testimony sufficient to
send them up to the Circuit Court.
Nothing more was heard Of the thieves
money or notes until yesterday, at
which time Mr.. Spence received through
the postoffice, the Cleveland Leader
dated the 10Th Of March, which was
very neatly put up with a wrapper
around it, and, on opening it, the four
teen notes were found which had been
carried off by the burglars; and, in ad.
dition to his own notes, he found three
other notes, one for 1915 payable to
Ann Ferguson; one to Elizabeth NJ
Ferguson, for 1925; one to Robert E
Ferguson, for $203, and signed by j ohm
Ferguson. There was also in the pack
age a certificate Of special deposit Of
$500 worth OF various bonds in favor
Of Mrs. Ann E. Ferguson, signed by E.
J. Aguew, cashier Of the First National
Bank, of New Castle, Pa. The parties
interested in these notes, or the certifi =
cate, can have them by calling on Mr.
Spence. 1t is true, the thieves
although they sent the notes and GER
tiicate to the care Of Mr.. Spence-gave
him no instructions as to what he was
to do with them. We presume they
had no desire for him to examine their
hand writing. Mr.. Spence thinks the
greatest mistake the rogues made was
in not sending the money along
The safe in Wells l. Co. 8 office was
broken open the same night. 1t is to
be hoped the thieves, whoever they
may be, will be brought to justice yet.
