Styt. 2, 1875. LOCAI. AFFAIRS. a -TTErr ROBBERY.

IMIOTTI'S PAWS SHOP BTJKGLA.KIZED OF 57,000 WOBTH OF GOODS MYSTEKV COSSECTED WITH THE BOBBERY TWO HEN ASRESTEDOS SUSPICION. A heavy robbery was coram itttnl some time during yesterday night at the well known pawn shop of H. W. Cimiotti, No. 100 Smithfield street, a fw lr9 elov Fifth The burglary was first discovered by a nephew of the proprietor, who opened the chop yesterday morning at the usual hour to resume the business of the day.

He found the door properly locked, hilt upon entering notieed that the gas had leen extinguished, a lot of papers strewn about the rtoor in great disorder and confusion. Several locks from the safe were also lying upon the floor, and an investigation of the safe was made when hs found that it had been robbed of its en tire contents. Mr. Cimiotti soon appeared at toe estabiisnment, and upon being in formed of the robbery by th young man, immediately Bet about making out a list ot tue eoous tnat had been stolen. All the articles pawned at the establishment that that were of any considerable value were placed in the sale, and ot course were stolen.

The list as made out by the pro prietor and furnished to the Chief of Police enumerates seveuty-two gold watches ot an average value of nfty dollars each, thirty-three silver watches, most of thorn American hunting cases, worth probably twenty-tire eaitti, one gold watch set with eight diamonds, two diamond Btuds, one single stone, on- cluT ring, worth together about S5CO. The balance is made up of some hundred of articles of jewelry of various values and descriptions. In addition to the jawelry was stolen a bundle of greenbacks. The value of the whole was estimated at the time at about 520,000, but after further consideration it was thought that 87,000 and possibly less would cover the entire value of everything stolen. The advances made on the article that were pawned would of course fall considerably short of this.

The thief or thieves displayed a greediness that is rarely to be seen even in mem-lers of that calling. Besides visiting the safe, they made a call on the show case and nearly everything of value to be found in the establishment was taken. Two or three ordinary chairs and a couple of spoons, besides sonje old clothing and froodrt of Too great weight and bulk to be coo vcniently earned away were left undisturbed. HOW THE ENTRANCE WAS GAINED. There is a deep mystery connected with the robbery.

The clerk found the doors all locked and the building presented no appearance whatever to indicate that it had been visited by burglars. The most probable theory, however, is that the Thieves gained entrance through the rear part of the shop. The rear abuts on a small private alley which connects with Fifth avenue, p.nd two doors, an outer and an inner, admits of communication between the pawn shop and the alley. The outer door was secured by a bar, and this was removed by inserting the hand through a conveniently broken window. This gave admittance to a small vestibule about four by four feet, to which the store door proper opens.

Over the door is a transom with a small bolt, and spring lock attached for security, but which were not in use on Monday night. The room is a low one and a moderately active person would have no ditticulty in climbing to this transom and through it into the room. The detectives made an examination of the traus'itn, however, and they feel confident that the entrance was not effected in this way as the door upon the top presented no appearance of having been disturbed. the other hand, however, there are other ruarJcs above the door that, would indicate that this was the mode of entrance. THE SAFE LfiCKS PICKED.

The thieves had not accomplished all their work, however, when in the room. The safe was yet to be opened. First, there was an iron door fastened by large wrought iron staplts with two Yale padlocks. These were taken off in an nndam-aged condition. Then came the outside door of the safe proper.

The key-hole to the main door was covered by a wrought iron bar, secured at one eud by a staple and at the other by a Yale padlock. These two locks, it seem, were also opened without difficulty. A quantity of powder was left on a bench near by, but it is evident there was no tampering with any of the locks, excepting either by keys or "pick- tools. The robber, after accomplishing this little feat, had the entire contents of the safe before him from which to choose. There was bnt little opportunity to detect tlie robber.

The gas was kept burning in the store, but a view of the inside could only be gained by peering through a small hole in the shutters placed ou the front windows. An escape could then be male through the rear alley. A8BE31ED ON SUSPICION. The detectives after making an examination of the premises immediately set about hunting up the perpetrators. At noon Detectives Kivers, O'Mara and Demmel visited the room on Grant street of two young men they suspected might be concerned in the affair.

The two young men were not in at the time but the detectives subsequently arrested them both and conveyed them to the Central Station, where they gave the names of Shook and Kudiger. Their room was subsequently searched by the detectives, and a number of burglars" tools were found but none of the stolen eoods. The young men were -Id for a hearing. TEA CHEUS" IXS Tl TE.

Chief Ross is after Charles Linz, of Spring Garden avenue. The doughty veteran had heard that Linz was dispensing without going through the formality of taking out a license, but couldn't get a clear case without calling for the ardent himself. Accordingly he visited the place aud called for a glass of lager. The boy in attendance was just in the act of passing the beverage over the counter when bis mother appeared on the scene, and, recognizing the customer, countermanded the order. There is no doubt that the case will be presented to Court.

IRON CITY. A game was played yesterday afternoon between the Braddocks and the Iron City on the ground of the former, which result ed in another victory for the UraddockB The game was witnessed bv quite a num ber ot spectators, and proved of more than ordinary interest. The chief features were the superior fielding ot the Hraddocks ami the batting of the Iron City. McTighe pitched for the BraddockH for the first two innings, but the Iron City boy seeuied to exierieuce but very little difficulty in batting his hall, notwithstanding the Xan thas could not bit them at ail. 1 lien Mo Keivev was designated to pitch, and more trouble was experienced.

He pitches very deceptive ball, the bad describing a curve after leaving his hand anil b--tore reaching the batter. This proved quite a obstacle to the Iron City Club until at the last inning, when they had become a ouainted with the style of pitching. The fielding of the Brnldocks was very fine and much superior to that of the Iron City Club. This is the eighth game played Py the Iron City this season, in ad of hicl: they were defeated twice, SCORE. I Ci'y.

Sadler Co. report tho follow con ecrnins the markets for the wek ending yesterday. CATTLE. We note a very heavyjrun of stock in all. biz car loads, ot wlix numoerj.il cars were held for sale on this market.

The great bulk of the arrivals were of the more common qualities, in fact theiv were very few fair to god choice lots ou the market and therefore such as were here commanded near to last week's prices, while the common erades beine so much in excess of theordinary supply were oil from 25 to 50c Ier hundred. In the early part ol the week the uiovement-s of buyers ere rather sluggish and they did not commenceopera- tious fairly until the situation was lully comprehended, that being when the stock was nearly all in pens, alleys and chutes, filled to their utmost capacity. Then the market opened and assumed an active phase which continued throughout the week, aud at this writing anout all ollermgs have been disposed of. It re quired a good deal of nerve on the part ot buyers lo take hold so iiuerauy, even at the low prices, as they had to more thau double on their usual capacity, and it is but fair to credit the market with the ability shown iu working oft" the glut- without greater sacrifice to shippers. The following quotations cover the transactions pretty thoroughly: Heavy lat steers good style, extra quality 1,300 lb and upwards 56 75fi7 00 Same weights fair to good 6 OlKati oO Extra medium weights 1,200 to 1.20 ins good order owio Same kind common to fair tl slit 5 50 The best grades 1,100 to 1,200.

Although the supply, as to numbers, has been liberal there have been but few good hogs on the market, and they are in lemand at quotations, while grassers Pe ng more plenty are dull and draggy. On Monday the pens were pretty well filled up, but notwithstanding that fact, the trade was rather active and prices firm. Since then the ruu was some lighter, aud prices stiffened up to the following quota- lous, closing firm with all sold.

There were only three or four loads of extra sheop on the market, and we notice, that they have been in very light supply for some time past, the demand being gocd right along.

Prof. Evans has made Dickens a special study for years, "nid he appears to have caught the spirit of the great genius of the author, which enable hnu dition for a fall campaign, and reports the fresh arrival of a large and well selected stock of clothing, which will be sold at un actors viv.Kl.y 'fore his hearers.
