THE INGENIOUS ROBBERY OF SILKS.
DIFFERENT ESTIMATES or THEIR VALUE BY MR.
DAZINN AND CAPTAIN CLINCuY.


The police made no progress yesterday IN their
search for the property which was stolen on Wednes
day night from the store of Wolf DdzIan dealer
in theatrical fancy goods, al No. 20 Union-square,
There was "A wide difference in the estimates of the
value of the stolen property. Mr.. Ddzan SAID that
the burglars took only silks oil the best quahty
which he had IN the store. lie could not tell, until
he had made an inventory OF his stock, how much
silk had been carried away. but he was inclined to
think that his loss would amount to $1,000. Cap
tain ClInchy of the Twenty second st. police
thought the loss would not exceed 5000. HIS ssti
mate was made by calculating the amount OF SILK
which the thieves could carry away concealed
about them. IL believed That the rognes had
10 wagon at hand IN which To move the goods.
Detectives who were investigating the robbery
said that the thieves must have concealed them
selves the building on Wednesday evening before
the front doors were closed. While men IN Seer 4
printing Office on the top floor OF the building were
at work after midnight the burglars PRED open the
door OF the saesroom on the second tluOr Occuplcd
by the Weed sewing Machine Company. and cut a
hole through the floor. The rope ladder, found in
the building. was let down through the opening to
the floor OF SIR. Dazians store. The burglars must
have known that the door OF the store was provided
with a burglar alarm. rs they made no attempt TO
open It from the inside. After making selection
OF goods for removal they carried the bundles up
the rope ladder to the second floor. They
left large roll of SIX after carrying Vt up
the ladder. probably fearing detection II they over
loaded themselves. The booty was carried down
the staircase which leads from tho upper part of the
building to n hall door at the southwest corner.
That door was locked on the inside ana the burg
lars had no difficulty IN getting INTO the street.
There was light burning in MIR. Dazlans store all
night and II the policeman patrollng on the east
side of UniOn-square had been waichfUl he might
have prevented the robbery An attempt probably

At recent meeting of the Queens County, Long
Island Board of Supervisors, Supervisor Powell, OF
North Hampstead, offered a resolution providing
that the salary OF Josiah l.. Pearsa one of the
County Superinteudents of the Poor, be withheld,
because he IS deserter from the Army. The Super
visor, Mr. Powell said that he had received a COM
mupcation from the Assistant Adjutant-Gencral

Company f. 18th New York Engineers, that no
was present with his command until April ! g. 1868,
when he deserted aud that he still deserter at
the date of the muster out OF his regiment. The
resolution was seconded by Supervisor Rowland.
The Chairman, Mr.. Dykes said that he believed the
matter should be settled IN the courts. The Board
should not review its own action, and having APP
pointed Mr.. Pearsall, superintendent he should re-
ceve his salary until the courts declared him incl
lgible. Supervisor McGowan thought that Mr.
Powell's action was hasty as there was nothing to
show that Mr. Pearsalps disabilities had not been
moved. Mr.. Powell said that the county was pay
ing man who was not eligible to his Office He
would withdraw the resolution temporarily he said
The affair has created considerable excitement IN
