Heavy Robberies in New York.

SYSTEMATIC THIEvING BY A CLERK AND PoR'
TER-IMPoRTANT ARRESTS MADE.
NEW York, September 22-The firm OF
7 Hartley & Graham, dealers in military
s1poIies, Maiden Lane, have been robbed
for some time past OF costly articles. On
Saturday last Mr.. Hartley noticed six
bundles. apparently OF wood and frag'
ments OF packing boxes, being car
ried out OF the store by porter
named Burns and a truckman. Mr.. Hart
lev stonped the men and had the pack
age opened. He found sixteen guns and other
articles. worth about $4,000. Burns os.
caped by the rear entrance and disappeared
from the city. The detectives were put on
the case, who, after Investigation, thought
that George Z. Wheeler. a clerk In the
store. was an accomplice OF the parties,
They visited Wheeler's house in Brooklyn,
and found property worth $1,000 belong
ing TO his employers. Wheeler was arrested
and locked up, and this evening made ful
confession Of his crime.
A daring burglary took place at the loan
office of Meindmeyer, on Second avenue,
on the 30th OF April last. The robbers,
who were provided with tools OF the finest
temper, sawed through the bars OF the real
window OF the establishment, and, by aid ol
punpow der and sectional jimmy, large
safe, i'm which yaluables were Kept, was
forced open, and diamonds, watches, and
lewery TO the amount OF S4.7O9 were ab-
stracted and carried of. There was no trace
left by which the perpetrators OF the rob-
berry could be discovered, and for time the
police were baffled. After a while the de-
tectiyes arrested Andrew jackson dlagS
"Little Andy" and August Palmer, while
trying to dispose OF some Of the property
They were sentenced to i've years In
the State prison. All the property, with
the exception OF small portion recoy'
cred. was still missing, and although In
ouiries were made in all the pawnshop:
OF this city, 1t could not be accounted
for. Several weeks ago the detectives go'
on the track OF the stolen property, and
knowing that three OF the burglars were
still at large, they made search for them ant
have succeeded In arresting Peter Wilson
Peter Mullen, Robert Clifford, and Herman
Palmer. They also arrested Victor Cha
mois, Simon Rubenstein, and Aaron Black
pawnbrokers, ss receivers OF stolen goods
These were all held in bail OF $1,000, ant
the property has since been recovered.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT AND NARROW
EsCAPE.-A gentleman from the West who
has Just arrived IN this city gives us an ac-
count OF an accident which occurred on the
Ohio and Mississippi railroad few days
ago. The train on which he was passen-
ger, bound east, was proceeding at the rate
Of about thirty.fiye miles an hour, when
suddenly there was a momentary halt, and
then the boiler. forward OF the sand.boX,
exploded with terrific noise, carrying away
the cylinders, bell, dome, smoke-stack, and
all the forward part Of the locomotive, in
Guiding the pilot-trucks, &c. The cab and
rear part OF the engine was uniniured. The
engineer and tremen were greatly alarmed,
and took refuge unnecessai ly in the rear
part OF the train, which continued on It's
way for more than a mile before ii was
stopped. The singular part OF the acci-
dent appears to be in the fact That neither
the tram nor The locomotive left the track,
and no one was injured. After the cars
were stopped an engine was sent Tor, ana
upon going back TO the point where tue eX-
posion occurred several pieces OF the ma.
chine were found, but the bell was slill
missing.

THE MOZART LAST EVENING very
attractive programme announced by the
Music Committee for the 22Sth weekly mu-
Sicdie drew an immense audience to Mozart
Hail last night. The orchestra was quite
iull, and performed the portion OF the pro-
gramme assigned them with evident salts
faction to the audience, especially the ever
popular overture to Martha" teeming, as
it is, with beautiful and familiar melodies.
The addition OF Professor Laube's graceful
bow to the second violins was great i'm
provement on that side. and the cornets
must be congratulated upon the taste dis
PLAYED in rendering their piano passages.
Mr.. HOff met with his usual warm recep-
ton, and sung with great expression and
pathos, "Sleep Well, Sweet Angel" by
Abt; and, being recalled, sang as an encore
"'Twas the Fragrant Summer Time," by
Hazleton-a pretty little air, which seemed
10 please the audience very much.
The "Duo Concertante," for two yioins,
| by Professors Kessnch and BartkOwski, was
performed in a manner which fully sustain
ed the enviabe reputation enjoyed by these
gentlemen as conscientious and proficient
eXecutants.
The duo " Lost Prescribed" by Messrs.
HofT and Greensfelder, WAS well sung, but
we must confess that we enjoy this prOduc-
ton more as a portion OF the opera, and
when surrounded by the dramatic accesSo-
ries. than as a concert piece. The Mozart
audience, however, did not agree with US,
but gave this number storming encore,
which compelled its repetition.
The grand piano duo "Le Reyiel Du
Lion" by Kontski, was played magnificent
| ly by Professors Reinhardt and Tbilow, and
during some OF the widest passages de-
scriptive OF the capiices OF the King OF
Beasts your reporter almost imagined him
self In the lions den, except for the fact that
he could hear the pretty girls all around
him talking to their beauX so loudly that il
almost drowned the roar OF the lions.
Mr.. Greensfeider closed the vocal part oil
the programme by singing 4" Infelice,'
from Verdi's Ernani," with orchestral ac-
compartment. This piece gave Mr.. Greens
fielder good opportunity, which he fully
embraced, OF displaying his fine bass voice,
which was on this occasion full OF dramatic
fervor. He vas ably sustained by the spir-
tied and correct playing OF the orchestra
Being recalled, he sang rs an encore sc
Isis, and Osiris" from MoZart's Magic
FIute."
The Mozart concerts have greatly im'
proved recently, and the membership is In
consequence rapidly filling up TO the maxi
mum Of five hundred.
The Baton for last evening was as spicy
as usual; indeed, the Mozart without the
Baton would be ike "h0me without
mother "-in-law.
