atatinjr that the grand piano fortes used were 1 ‘ from the
manufactory of Messrs. Steinway & Sons, New York. 11
We also see by a London paper, noticing the fact of

AGAINST THE WORLD,
11 CHILLED -IRON ” ARRANGEMENTS
ANOTHER “ VICTIM OF MISPLACED CONFIDENCE. ”
The following is an extract from a letter jael received
by us from a gentleman at Erie, Fa.:
“ Seeing your notice of the blowing up of Lillie's Safe•
at Wilkosbarre, reminds me of the fact that about four
we«ks previous to that transaction, one of 'Lime’s

of the heavy hinges, and tearing all the inside filling,

entirely in two. The wreck was most complete. Tut
robbers secured about $6OO, and some valuable
EVANS &.WATSON,' v'
16 South FOURTH Street. ~
IMPORTANT TO MERCHANTS,
SgSflfß!
AND ALL OTHERS REQUIRING SECURITY FROM
‘ FIRE AND THIEVES. *#•*
In the daily papers of this city, as well as in other
public journals, M. C, Sadler, who is Agent for the sale
of Lewie Lillie's 89-calU.fi Fire and Burglar-Proof Safes,
published an article calling the attention of the public to
the superior qualities of the said Fire and Burglar-P/oof
Safes, and at the eame time endeavoring to underrate
the qualities of those made -by Philadelphia makers.
We do not object to fair and manly competition in trade,
nor do we fear the ultimate result of any coarse that Mr.
Sadieror hit principal may adopt; hat we wish to call
the attention of the public to the real facts of the case,
and shall endeavor to expose the misrepresentations con
tained in the article so published, and offer to Mr. Lillie a
fair opportunity to satisfy the public as to the real value
of his article compared with those of other makers..
In the articles so published he says that his Safes are
the “ only really andthoroughly Fire and Barglar Proof
Safes made and sold at fully one-third less price;”: and
he also says: ‘*l have just received four of Brans &
Watson’s Burglar Proof Safes from the City Bank, in
exchange for Billie’s, which I will sell at .very low
price*.” --
What we complain of in the above is not the puffing,
whether true or false, of his own wares, but his endea
vor to misrepresent and depreciate ours, As to. the four
Safes he speaks of, they were never cold or represented
as burglar proof, but were-when sold to the City Bank,
old fire-proof chests, made nearly twenty years ago,
haying been used by the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank
for a considerable time before the City Bank bought
them. For the truth of this statement we refer to the offi
cers of the bank, as well as the bill furnished them at
ihe time of purchase. We do not believe any Safe can
be m*de entirely burglaT proof, and have never so as
serted, a-s we are satisfied that there can be no Safe
made so strong but that a good mechanic, wlthjplenty of
time and proper tools, can open’or destroy it. Bat we do
assert that the Safes made by us as burglar proof are
quite as good, if not better, than Lillie's! and as to fire
proof, incontestably better.
Now, for the proofs
•First. Are his Safes burglar proof?
Knoxville (Illinois).—Lillie’s Safe, in the banking
home olbmiih & Hall, opened apparently with a ham
mer and chif el, and robbed of between $4,000 and $5,000.
Hudson- (Wisconsin).—Lillie’s Safe, in the bank , of
Gibson & Henning, was blown open with gunpowder,
ands4,ooo in money, beside* sl,9ooin city orders.and
other valuable papers, stolen. This was one of his pre
mium guaranteed burglar- proof Ban* Safes.
Medina (N. Y ) —Lillie’s Bank Safa in the Medina Bank
was blown open with gunpowder, but the burglars were
disturbed . and did not succeed In robbing, the bank,-
tbongh the tafe was destroyed.
Rocbester(N. Y.)—The lock of one-of Lillie’s Safes
getting out of-order in (ne of tbe city banks, it was drilled
andopened with an ordinary blacksmith’s drill in about
thiity minutes. " --
St. Louis (Missouri) —Lillie’s Safe in the store of Ba
gan& Ogden w&b broken with an ordinary hammer with
out difficulty.
Chicago-— One of Mr. Lillie’s Burglar-proof Safes was
opened by John Scar, machinist, in about ten minutes,
-with a common hand-drill and Haven-pound slelge
Rochester (N Y.) -One of Mr. Lille's Mammoth Bank
Safes, purchased by T. H. Rochester, Esq., President of
the Rochester City Bank, of Mr. Lillie himself, with a
written statement of its burglar-proof qualities.. was
forced open by an ordinary mechanic, in about twenty,
minutes, in the presence of the bank officers -
New Haven (Connecticut).—One of Lillie’s Safes- was
tested, at the request of Mr. Sadler, agent for Lillie, in
the presence of a number of respectable citizens, in the
-office of Samuel 6. Cummings, and was drilled tnrough
with a ihree-quarter-inch cast-steelldrill, without sharp
ening. in twenty mint* tea, the drill being worked by hand.
Olban (New Y ork')- At the banking-house of Stoweil,
Chamberlain & Co. , by agreement, a sum of money was
placed in one of LillieV Patent Chilled Iron Fire and
Burglar-proof Safes, .represented to be proof against
sledges; drills, and chisels, containing all the latent im
provements, tt e money to be the property of*£he person
undertaking to open itvhe placing in it the amount of
the original price 6f tbe Safes, to be the.property of
fctowel), Chamberlain & Co.. if the Safe was not broken
open and the money taken in one hour In thirty-seven
minutes the fcafe was broken open, and the money taken
by the operator. _ -
Wilkesbarre (Penna).—’The Burglar-Proof Safo of
Lillie’s make, in tbe banking house of W. G. Sterling,
was blown open with powder, introduced through a
hole drilled through the chilled iron,.and robbed of a
large amount of money. In speaking of ibis, Mr. Sadler
says, in his chelSih, after admitting the facts
above ssated, that it'was the first successful drilling of
Lillie’s Chilled-Iron bites. A reference to the few cases
which have come to our knowledge, as contained in the
Statements above, will show how much, his word can be
relied upon.
Still another.—While writing this, a letter from a
respectable merchant in Yardleyville has been banded
me, by which I learn that one of LUlie’s Burgla'-Proo
Safes, belonging to John Yardley, coal and lumber mer
chant of that place, has just been blown open with
powder. The powder was introduced through a hole
drilled through the chilled iron with a quarter-inch
drill.- The iron was s bout one and a half incnes thick,
and both hinges were broken by the shock.
go much for tbe thoroughly burglar-proof qualities of
Lillie’s Chilled-Iron Safes, settled, not by assertion, but
by stubborn facts.
Now for the Fire-proof: In this connection we would
sty that there have been few fixes in Philadelphia or its
vicinity in which these Safes have been tested, but we
will refer to a few instances that have come to onr know
ledge in other peaces, and the notice of a certificate of a
Safe in the store of McManus & Croft, published by Mr.-
Sadler. _
Hannibal (Mo )—Messrs. Haves &Armstrong, pur
chased one of Lillie’s Safes, guaranteed fire and burglar
proof Their store was burned, and the entire contents
of the Safe utterly destroyed. Mr. Lillie offered to re
place the Safe with another of higher price, but they de
clined, as the trial they had had satisfied them.
St Johns (Michigan).—One of Lillie’s Safes,'owned
by John Rickk. was situated in a frame building which
was burned down. In about three hours the whole con
ten tsot the Safe were destroyed. ::
Fainbsville (OkiO.—'Two-story brick store ofJ 8.
MattheW6 was dettrc y6d by fire, and the contents of one
of Lillie’s Safes entirely consumed.
Cate May.— illie’sSafe in the Mount Vernon Hotel
was, with its contents, destroyed by the fire.
Crystal Palace.—Lillie's Safe, made for the test,
seven inches thick, was tested in the fire, and the whole
contents destroyed.
Danville.— ln one of Lllie’s Safes a small quantity of
money, intentionally left in the Sale: to test It, was
melted.
Trot. —One of Lillie’s Safes. In the store of Messrs.
Warner, w m destroyed by the fire. The contents had
bsfca fortunately removed. .
We might pnbl’sh alarge number of certificates as to
the burning of his Safes hut,we think the above are
sufficient. After saying a word as to the Safe that pre
served the books in Second street, in the store of McManus
Sc Cioft.we shall cease. The building was a small lt*me
building, and the floor on which the Safa stood still re
mains, scarcely scorched, so that the papers would have
been safe if placed in a sheet-iron air-tight stove. .
Now, to bring this matter to a practical test, we make
the following offer:
We wiU place one of our Safes, which we sold ia 1856,
for two hundred dollars, lo Edward Giskill. book Hind
er, and which wenow have on h*Hd, having replaced
it hy a large one, in a suitable furnwe, with one of
Lillie’s Safes, to he selected by him out of any sold for
that price in Philadelphia within seven years; and sub
ject them to the action of a fire made out of oak, pine, or
sefi.stuth~tf
hickory wood, until the contents of them shall be de
stroy ed; the pai ty the contents of whose Safe is destroyed
to pay all expenses, and the other party to hare both
Safes; the fire to be made and trial conducted in ihepre
sence of aYommittee of five, two to be chosen fry each
and the fifth by the other four. .'We will go still farther.
Mr. Sadler sola In June, 1860. to "Weaver, Filler. ft Go •
a Safe of the S4CO size, warranted to stand any.fire that
could occnr in their building. which would be one of the
hottest that conjd he made, their business being ship
chandlery. Now we will ' allow him to place that Safe
against ours,'which is only about half the size, and will
waive all aisputes as to the fairness of the trial of the
sizes, although the difference is at least fifty per cent, in
hie favor.
The Safe selected by hs has already been through a fire
in the Girard Buildings, fell through the floor from the
fourth to the third story, and has never been repaired
since the fire, so that Mr. Lillie has the advantage of one
fire against two, as no Safe can pass through a heavy fire
without some damage. The following certificate refers
to this Safe:

and be admitted to a place among the chosen of all cen

The Plantation Bitters make the weak strong, the lan
guid brilliant, and are exhausted nature’s great restorer.
They are composed of the celebrated Cliasaya Bark,
Wintergreen, Sassafras, Boots, Herbs, Ac., all pres erred
in perfectly pure St Croix Bum. *
Persons of sedentary habits, troubled with weakness,
lassitude, palpitation of the heart, lack of appetite, dis
tress after eating, torpid liver, constipation, &e., deserve
to suffer if they will not try them.
They are reaommended by the highest medical autho
rities, and are warranted to produce an immediate bene
ficial effect. They are exceedingly agreeable, perfectly
pure, and harmless.
Notice.— Any person pretending to sell Plantation Bit
ters in bulk or by the gallon is a swindler and impostor.
We only put It up in our log-cabin bottles. Beware of
bottles refilled with imitation deleterious stuff, for which
several persons are already in prison. See that every
bottle has our United States stamp over the cork, and
signature on steel-plate side labels.
