Missing Bookkeeper.
Fire Marshal Mitchell has come to the con.
clusion that the FIRE which occurred in the Of
fee OF Thomas & Eckerson. tho real estate
dealers in Palmer's Theatre building. on the
morning Of Dec. 20 was OF incsndiary origin.
Daniel j. Dineen OF 345 West Thirty.ffth

shall has q warrant for his arrest. charging
him with causing tho fire. Shortly after tho
FIRE was discovered Dinoen was seen running
from tho building with o burning book In his
hands. which he threw down O sewer manholo
IN the street. Subsequent Investigation BY
his employers showed that Dineen's accounts
were short between $500 and $500. and the
to be, that which contained the evidence Of his
populations.
Dineen was arrested twice after tho Hre.
once as a suspicious character and again for
tntoxication but he was disch both times.
the evidence which seems to connect him
with the fire was discovered afterward. and Il
seems that Dineen got wind OF It before tho
authorities. for he disappeared on Friday q

Fire Marshal, Mitchell said yesterday that
he. and Mr.: Eckerson had been working to-
latter. upon discovering the conclusiye cyl

Dineen set the fire to cover up the proofs OF
his stealing.

STREET OPENING OYER THE HARLEM.
Repeal OF the NnlE-and.Hal r law OF Q z
to be Asked for at Albany.

Repeal OF tho HalE-and.lHalf law OF 1874
to be Asked for at Albany.
Since 1874 there has been a statute which
required that one-half the expense OF opening
a street moro than O mile long In the annexed
district shall be borne by the taxpayers Of the
city at large and the other half by the prop
erty Immediately benefited. Tho law has boon
a serious impediment to the Improvement of
the district. The Board OF Street Opening
would not vote to open long streets in tho an.
nexed district because It did not want the tax
payers Of Manhattan Island TO pay for local
improvements for the benefit Of the region
above tho Harlem. The growth OF the Twen-
ty-third and Twenty-fourth wards demanded
that streets be opened. and many were put
through to open up property. but title was
not acquired by the city. There are many
miles OF such streets on. which no improve
ment can be made. by the city. because the
city has no title to them.
Commissioner HeintZ moved at the netting
OF the Board OF Street Opening yesterday that
draft. a bill leaving the streets Of the annexed
diatrict to. be opened like any other streets in
the city. His motion was adopted. .Thtrty-nyo
streets north OF the Harlem. less than q mile
IN length; we're ordered to be legally orenedd.

mittee and other members OF the New York

viding for additional facilities for an uptown
Post ONCE in New York city. 1t was at first
thought advisable to insert an amendment
to the Post Once Appropriation bill. but after
considering the question 1t was suggested
that such an amendment might be ruled out
on a point Of order, Mr.. Dunphy is to intro
duce the special bill. making provision for the
renting Of a suitable building near the Grand
Central Depot to facilitate the departure OF the
mails from New York. Postmaster-General
Wanamaker has examined tho subject care
fully. and he is convinced that New York needs
additional facilities of handling the morning
mail. but he Is forced to admit that there is not
the required space in the New York Office. He
fayors the proposition to establish q sub-sta-
tIon up town. and he will give the New York
desired legislation. Mr.. Dunphy will lose no
time in preparing and introducing the bill to
