Maze:a:A. W. Illaekbui n has presented to the Mey
er his report of tires occurring in the city during
the past year, from which it appears that from .7e.
new** Ito December 31, 1663, incluzire, there were
only en tires within the limits of the whole confroli-
Wed city, being less than an average or one for
every twenly.feur hours ; of which& very large pro•
portion were trinirg. The total amount of loss
seircely excreted $lOO,OOO, on which there was about
$:10,0P0 insurance, leaving 160 000 uncovered. The
at destructive fire during the year was the bure
t* of the exteitsive railway c.ir works of Murphy
re Allison, corner of Nineteenth and alarket streets,
oa ite morning of the 2d of Stay. The highest es.
timate by this confilltrarien did not exceed $75,000.

afternoon of the Gth of July, and that at the store.
houses of Schutter & Co., South Delaware avenue,
On the 18th of December.
There were two other fires in the course of the
rear where the loss exceeded $26,080. These were
the demolition of the Government atorehouaes at
the Philadelphia Navy Yard, on the morning of the
13th of September, and the partial destruction of the
Jefferson Mills, in the Twenty-fourth ward, on the
224 of March.
These five fires foot up more than one half of the
total losses of the year; but I am gratified to state
that neither of them was the work of design. The
conflagration at the navy yard was attributed to the
plotting of secret enemies of the country in its
gigantic struggle for nationality, and many exciting,
rumors prevailed. Suspicion was rife, gossip plenty,
and the loyalty of officials openly impugned. I in.
vestigated the case with an unusual and weighty
sense of my duty as a faithful official and a loyal
mare and, after the moat careful and patient in.

as compared with there et 1862, show a still further
deerease in the number of eases of incendiarism.
Nest of the instances that came under his notice
were attempts upon out buildings ' Shedd, stables,
steps, and other combustible properties of little
value. The discovery of these fires, and their
preterit extingulshmt nt by the police or other

showed the most culpable neglect of their morals,

In reference to the fire at Gray's Ferry Bridge, on
tbe `led of last month, Mr. Blackburn says : The
fire originated from a spetk from a locomotive. This
bridge is old and a pet feet tinder.box. Portions of

combustible character of the fabric, and its continual
Debility to ignition and demolishment by fire from
the engines of the numerous trains of the Philadel

This awful and agonizing calamity is without a

It is well known that very few of out edifices of

of a sudden and rapid fire. In most of them the
Doorways are too narrow, the doors are hinged so
as to awing inward - instead of outward, as they
should, and the staircases are of insufficient capacity.
Some of the latter are 'steep, with the doors at the
bottom opening inward. In looking at the exits
of some of our places of amusement, I have some
times shuiddered at the bare thought of the scene of
a paniastrloken audience wildly rushing and franti
cally struggling to make their escape. In justice to
the architecture of the Academy of Music, I arn
bound to say that the vomitories of that house are
models. Those of the Chestnut-street Theatre are

Stockholders would only be discharging a sacred
duty to the patrons who nightly crowd them, by
having such alterations effected as might be deemed
necessary by skilful architects for complete safety.
This eubject strongly appeals to the heart of every
lover of humanity, and I hope the hints I have here
thrown out may arrest attention.
A VOICE FP.OM CASTLE TRUe.THE.II—BEING
PIZ:mOI,ER. "NOT WP_AT IT'S CRACKED 7? TO 138.—•
A very intelligent }mute woman, who has a local
interest in Philadelphia. from having resided here
for ttirteera years, states that she has enjoyed the
privilege of being immured-1n Castle Thunder for
over three month:. Her experiences, though not
vete' :earning, ate interesting, and such as will
melte her return to her home in Troy, which she
has ere this probably reached" a matter of sincere
COt gratulation smoncet her friend:. She was cap.
tui d on the lSh of Oe'ober, by Moseby's men, who
were dressed in eitizees' clothes, while on the road
beewe" en Fairfax and &Woe Station. She Was on
bee wee to visit her husband, who is a member of
the s:li New York Artillery, Co. H., and had with
her a valise parked with clothing and all sorts of
good things, such as soldiers, in common with civi
-I.ke. She WEI being driven, at the moment of
her capture, in an ambulance, which bid fair to arrive
at lirestoe station in good time. Moseby's men
rue bed upon her and the ambulance driver,
and she
was bustled off to Richmond to the tune of the Jeff
eir ewe:instep. On the 19th of October she was
incarcerated in Crietie Thunder. The first day she
was stuck into a little bit of a room, about six feat
by twelve, where four other women and two chil
dren kept her company. These were not the only
lice creatures in the room, however. The insect
trite was very numerously represented, and mani
fested a loving kindness for the cracks in the
walls and ceiling. The floor was spread with a vel
vet carpet of sawdust, which was a blessing in dig
guiret since it anawered more purposes than
world have seemed possible, and fulfilled the
Oilers of bed. bedding, and pillows, bol-
Kerr. entire, and tables. The name of one of the
Weenie, who was aboutthirty-five, was Oaten. She
came from Wheeling, Z a , and had two children, a
little son aged three, are a girl aged seven. Tara.
Os - ten had been imprisoned for eighteen months.
All The four women to whom our narrator was In
!reduced had enjoyed the pleasure of having their
homes burned over their he ads, their husbands be
ing Union men, and having deserted to the rebel
cause. Our narrator found imprisonment in that
fool room intolerable. She begged and prayed to
be delivered from it, and was at length' appointed
to another apartment, where, up to laid Saturday,
she tented the advantages of solitary confinement.
H' re the bad time to Cry her eyes out, lament her
hard fate, and the loss of her valise. She had yet
$7 sue 10 cents about her. One day the rebel officer
who rejoices in the name of Tompkins', came to visit
her. He said he would eive her silver for her
Motel'. - "Well," she laid, "she didn't care it he
did." She gave him her money. He slapped it in
his pocket, ar d went off, saying it was his now.
During her imprisonment she bad all the delicacies
Of, the season. She had soup every day. Three
days site had bean soup, and three days rice soup.
On Sue days, she hail some kind of beef soup, (she
couldn't say what kind,) for a change. Soup was
alwaea the that dish, as, indeed, it should be. The
only nice to (eject to was that it was the last also.
One pleasing quality in the soup was that it was
pleetifully sprinkled with maggots. This was
cheap for pepper. For dessert she had bread
and water. For breaking she had a cup of
ceitee of sthe color of coal—probably Owing
to Re strength. When the rebel/ brought her food
they would poke it at her with, "Here, you Yankee
soldier's wife I" She asked fora blanket once, but
was *r id there were no blankets for Yankees. (N.
B.—Were there any for the rebels themselveal) She
Wanted a paper to read once, but that was likewise
refused. At length, after having had a highly satis
factory time of it generally, she was exchanged last
Saturday for two rebel soldiers, and delights in the
knowledge of the fact that one woman is worth two
Men. She was conducted out of Richmond with
flying colors. An escort of two hundred rebels led
her up to the lines, and after being exchanged, wee
driven to Fairfax in a sutler's wagon, belonging to
the Twelfth Pennsylvania Reserves. Thence the pro.
*cost marshal passed her on to Washington. She says
she WAN hooted an the way out of Richmond, and
Was constantly saluted with theory, " You Yankee,
never you come back here 1" She says she never
Will, and has come to the decided conclusion that
being captured "isn't what it's cracked up to be."
She went on her way home rejoicing yesterday morn
ing, her husband, at last accounts, being at Brandy
Station. She narrates her story in a lively, amusing
manner, and now that her troubles are all over
can afford to laugh at them. From all that she has .
seen, it is to be surmised, if we wanted other evi
dence, that the Confederacy is at its last gasp, and
that there will be but few more chances of person.

that imprisonment in Castle Thunder 1 . isn't what
it's cracked up to be."

MIMI MG IN Al It or REFIIPSEI9.—a
meeting, in aid of the guttering refugees at Cairo,
was held last evening, at the First Baptist Church,
colter of Broad and Arch The attendance was
very small considering the importance of the object
for which the meeting was called. The exercises
opens.: with player by Chaplain Uletstead. of the
citizens. Volunteer lloapital. The Bev. Ezekiel
Folsom, obo r oam of the Post Hospital at ['aim, lilt-
Irola. Was then /OM need to the audience by the
Bev. Mr. Horciein, of Delaware, who made a few
/mane explanatory of the object of the meeting.
Dlr. Folsom said he found in all the towns which
he bad visited, from Chicago to this city, a prompt
response to the efforts of the of sot for which he was
now pleading, The Brat lot of these white refugees
1
that reached Cairo was just after the fall of Corinth.
They numbered 295 Before they left the camp there,
a subscription was taken up, amountitg to about
four hundred dollars ; this, they thouget. would
I traneroft them some distance above Cairo, but
it ayss not sufficient to do so, and they were obliged
to keep them in box cars for forty-eight hours 4 but
it could not be helped. These poor creatures had
been stripped by the rebels of everything but the
few clothes which they wore upon them. Among
the number, be said, was an old woman, who was
naked what she thought of this rebellion. .Io reply,
she said that if she had the leaders of the Confede•
racy in her power she would hang them high
er than Haman. The speaker then said they
got means to transport these people away, but
they bad no sooner left than another squad, num
bering about two hundred, arrived from Bolivar.
These, he said, were in a deplorable condition, and
without a cent of money. The people of Cairo
raised money . enough, atter great trouble, to have
these people also transported. Immediately upon
this event the speaker was sent !forth, where he
raised a sum of money which lasted till October.
The day before he left Cairo a family arrived there
from the South. They had emigrated from Penn
sylvania to Louisiana, -where the father built several
extensive flour mills. These were destroyed by the '
rebels, and all his money taken from him. They I
lied to the swamps, where they remained until they
had a chance of escaping, which they soon succeeded
in doing, although their health was greatly im
paired. The father asked for tranapottation to
Pittsburg, which was given them. The class which
he pleaded for, he said had no means whereby they
might secure help and succor. The colored people
in Cairo are comfortable; they have schools and
churches to attend, and the men do all the
government work that is carried on there.
He said if it WAS in his power to place these white
refugees before the audience, it would bring out all
the benevolence and charity there was in them, but
he could not. They have some upon us in the pro
cess of this war. The. Government receive these
people into the Federal lines: they clothe them and
Five them rations, and hundreds them in transports
to Cairo. He had seen and thousands who
had not the second suit of clothes to wear While
they washed the ones they had on them.
He then read the following extract of a letter front
Brigadier General Reid, dated Cairo, Dec. 16, 1863,
who ordered him North to plead in behalf of the re
fugees:
ilefagees are aniving here almost daily In large nnm
hers from Tennessee. Arkansas. Mississippi, and Loui
siana' nearly all of them in a very destitute condition,
end Ido not know what would become of them were it
not for the cc utributioue from the benevolent communi
ties which you have visitor+, Toe military authorities
'can fnrniet, thcm food and abetter temporarily here : but
most of tip us have friends and acquaintances elsewhere.
so whom they wish to go, ly; t can only be sent by funds raised ft om the benevolent. as:the military authorities
can only furnbh transportation on Government boats,
very few of which are running above this point. The
clothing contributed will be very valuable to these suf
ferers, and render their condition more °adorable.
BIT% Shipman, the united States ;limitary agent here,
is attending to the wants of the refugees. and using the
funds and clothing secured by yourself In taking care of
them and forwarding them to their friends in the free
States.
Yon will continue your labors so long as you maY
thick It advisable, or until you have notice from these
beadotthrters to return. Yours. moat respectfully,
H. T. RAID, Brig. Gen. Colas'.
Several other letters were also read inregard to the
same object. After this the sr - maser related several
instances of the utter destitution of the refugees mho
arrive at Cairo, which appealed strongly to the
hearts of those prevent. Among the instance' told
was one of a lady, who is now working as a house
servant in Chicago. Her huaband was murdered in
her presence by a guerilla band, who surrounded the
house, and as she tied from it to the woods with her
babe in her arms, one of tpe radians, aiming his gun
at her, ahot her child dead in her embrace.
At the close of his remarks he made an appeal to
those present for contributions of money or clothing,
to aid the sutlering refugees.
A collection was then taken up, and the audience
dismissed With the benediction.
Persons desiring to aid this benevolent purpose
May send their contributions to Mr. H. N. Thtssell,
secretary of the American Tract Society, at No. 929
Chestnut street.
TESTIMONIAL TO THEO. COVLER, EsQ.—
The public will probably recollect that soon after
the retirement of Theo„ Cuyler Esq., from Select
Council, a year ago, a correspondence took place at
the instance of all the members of the Chamber,
which resulted in placing a very fine, por
trait of Mr. Cuyler In the Chamber in which he had
served so long, and over which, for three consecu-
tive years, he bad presided with so mush dignity
and ability. Thl correspondence, together with the
resolutions of Select Council expressive of their
high regard for Mr. Cuyler as an able and impartial
presiding officer, and their regret at his retirement
from a position where his experience, foresight, and
public spirit had been of so much advantage to the
city, have been handsomely engrossed under the
direction of the late clerks of Select Council, and
placed in a frame of very beautiful design, for pre
sentation to Mr. envier. The testimonial cannot
fail to be appreciated as expressive of the generous
confidence and warm regard in which M. Cuyler is
eo deservedly held by those who were associated
with him in a long course of public service.
HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
—At the late regular meeting of this society Henry
B. Dawson, Esq., of hiorrisania, New York, and
editor of the new edition of The Federalist, rend an
interesting essay on " The Capture of Stony Point"
by General Wayne. The paper was nominally dedi
cated to an account of the capture of Stony Point,
on the Hudson—one of the brightest and most DU
portant achievements of our revolution. It con
tained likewise a great deal of matter illustrating
General Wayne'. career and character generally.
One of the moat atriking external circumstances of
the address was the great number of original papara
by which it was supported throughout. From the
character of the address, as well as from what is ex
hibited of Mr, Dawson's skill as a writer, we have
confidence that the history of our revolution will
possss few indivival greater value or
of higher attractio d
ns than tideforthcoming Life of
our own Pennsylvania hero.

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
District. Court—Judge Sharswood,
Mary Davis vs. James S. Keen. An notion to re.
cover balance alleged to be due on an agreement or
male. Before reported. Verdict for plaintiff $1,366.60.
Jacob Bush vs. The City of Philadelphia. An ac
tion to recover on a contract for work and labor
done and material furnished, in making outside
blinds for, and painting Hancock School-house, in
the Fourteenth marl. This eontrart was made with
the plaintiff on the 6th of July, 1862, by Mr, Lewis
Bitting, the then chairman of the Committee on
Property of the Board of-School Control. The de.
fence was that Mr. Bitting had not authority to
enter into any such contract; that he did so without
consultation with, or the assent of the members of
the committee of which he was chairman. As
further matter - of defence, it was also set up that
the contract was entered into in improper haste, on
the Saturday preceding the Monday when the old
board went out of office, and a new board came in,
Ate. Bitting ceasing on that day to be chairman of

front of a store on Chestnut street, above Front.
Mr. Wm. M. Gunn testified that a bale of cotton had
been standing at the foot of the stairway at the store
for about ten days ;it WAS worth $125. On Friday
last he observed three colOred men putting it into a
wagon or furniture car, and drive away with it; he
ascertained after this that no person had delivered it.
Mary Morgan, a woman pretty well advanced in
years, was called to the stand; she testified that
she keeps what is called ajunklihop in Callowhill
street; she remembered three colored men coming
lo her place with a bale of cotton and leaving it
there; she thought it was stolen, and said she would
keep it for the owners. One of the prisoners, a thin
faced yellow man, giving the name of Thomas Ball,
was identified by the witness as one of the men who
brought the bale to her place.
Michael Morn ave in ore the aival of
the bale; he said ga t h e three m
coloreddetail
men w anted to
sell it for one hundred dollars ; one of them said that
he bad bought it from a prize steamer, and thought
it ought to bring at private sale at least one hun
dred dollars; the men finally cleared out Without
taking the bale with them
"Do you identify either of the defendants?" in
quired the alderman.
"free, sir, this yellow man ; I identify , him."
" Sure of that, are you ?"
" Yes sir, I identify him."
" Well, Thomas, have you anything to lay 1"
asked the Alderman of trourisoner.
The prisoner replied the e was just going along
the street, and was sick ; he saw two men putting
the bale of cotton in the cars ; they asked him to
help them; he did so, and went to the junk l ihop with
them ; this was ad he did ; he did not know any
thing about stealing it.
The accused was required to enter bail in the sum
Of $1,500 to answer at court.
The other prisoner was discharged, there being

professional pickpocket. He and a confederate were

teers. The prisoners were sent to the Twenty

on the charge of keeping a disorderly house on Mon
roe street, below Fourth. There was evidence sub.
rattled as to great noise, contusion, fighting, etch,
about the premises, so. as to annoy the neighbor.
hood. The accused Was bound over to answer at
court.
An Ordinance Violated Daily.
It is the especial duty of the high constables to
see that the ordinances of the city are properly en
forced. This is about all the public business these
Officers have to do. But it seems that they close
their eyes to gross infractions of the law by , the
passenger cars, daily, simply because they have the
privilege of free riding in the cars. Mayor Henry
has set a laudable example, steadily refusing the
tender of free ticket.. Chief Buggies does the same
thing, and so ought all the police force, detectives
as well as the ward officers. Then the laws of the
city would be probably batter enforced and the Deo.
ordinance be tected in their rights. Section roved
to regulate passenger railways, app
July 1, 1857, provides that o the running speed of
the cars upon any city passenger railroad shall not
at any time be at a greater rate than six miles an
hour in the paved and built-up portions of the eity,
nor shall they Incommode the crossings, nor stop at
the corner of any Street or elsewhere to solicatpassengers.,'
The penalty for a violation of this section is a tine
of five dollars, and the Mayor has the power to re.
volie the license of any car so offending. We have
never heard of the penalty having as yet been en
forced, although the section is violated every hour
of the day and night , upon some of the roads.
The reason for the nom enforcement of the laws is
because of the privilege extended to the police,
allowing them to ride free. The citizens will, per
haps, have to take the matter in their own hands,
which they have the right to do. If half the tine
should go to the informer it would have a good
effect. livery night, at the nearest point to a place
of amusement, there are generally five or six ears
waiting about the time the perfostiance is expected
to close. This is not only a clear violation of the
ordinance quoted, but is a serious inconvenience to
many citizens. Those who take the cars upon the
upper end of the line are detained unnecessarily,
while those who with to ride upon the lower end of
the road are frequently compelled to await fully a
half hour. The passenger railway companies do
not seem to pay attention to any of the ordinances
of the city, and it is time that some action was
taken by the authorities to compel theca to do so.

shown the very great advantages the Chilled-Iron Safe
posseesee over the Sheeterron or common Safe as a Fire-
Proaf, in this second division, I shall endeavor to show
that its advantages as a Burglar-Proof are still more im
portant; and to do this I shall commence with the
fourth proposition. as laid downin the first division
Fourth, legt Judi. peneable requirements necessary to
make a Burffighr-proof reliable.
Fifth, The serious defects in the common Safe as a Bar
ege r Proof.
Sixth, The great advantages the Chilled-Iron Safe
e a B
pos.
seWeha a t s
are u h ola nd o n f able
receairements to make a
Burglar Proof rellAble?
First, Strength—etrength anffiedent to resist any rag
sonable amount of Fledging: sufficient. also, to protect
the look from the action of the drill or punch
Second. The material mast be drill-proof all over the
outer surface There should not even be a rivet, or any
thing wrought iron, that can in the least be affected by
the drill or any cutting instrument.
• Third, The look must be secure from the lock-pick, also
from powder, and intuit Work without IS key ; that is , it
most be a mental lock, and must be so atteched to the
door that it cannot be displaced by any means practical
for a are the a gl re the asthma deft in the common Safe as a
Burear-Proof ?
Übe first defect is want of strength. By referring to its
structure, it will be seen that its whole strength consists
in thin plates of iron, held together by bands, and antes •
Bible' to every implement in a burglar's possession; the
rivets can be drawn from the thin plate readily with a
pointed bar, and the whole side of a safe laid open; a
hole may be punched through the panel of the door, and
the powder applied; the door may be driveja in in the
centre, by a blow or two; this throws out ton edge, and
the sharp pointed bar pries open the door; arid in a great
variety of ways He want of strength Las proved fatal,
The second defect is its exposure to the drill and all cut-
ting implements. The outer surface being wrought Iran.
in which its whole strength consists, it is aeceseible to
the burglar in every way. The chisel cuts out readily a
square in the panel; the drill, through a succession of
holes, takes out a square in front of the lock; and if the
plate of hardened steel still remains in front, it is easily
broken and removed; a single hole is drilled in the door.
the powder is applied, and tae door forced open; a single
hole is drilled on the side of the safe opposite to the end
of one of the door-bolts, a punch forced the bolts back,
and the door opens.
-
These are some of the ways in which robberies bays
already been committed. but only a few compared with
the many I think, however, they are quite sufficient
to show that a safe must be drill-proof to be burglar
proof.
The third defect is its inability to protect a lock from
the burglar.
The outer structure of the door being wrought iron
which constitutes its strength. it is plain that the lock
cannot be protected. A hole drilled in auy part or the
door, through the outer plate, even though there may be
a steel plate behind. the powder can be applied and the
door-flanges forced off, and the lock exposed; a square
may be taken out in front of. the lock by the drill, and
the .teal plate is easily broken; a eack-screw or sieige
will madly force the lock from its position by pressure,
as the strength of the door cannot sustain it. and it mutt
be conceded that the lock cannot be protected.
What are the great advantages the Chilled-lren Safe
has as a Burglar-Proof? -
By referring to the structure of the Chilled-Iron Safe,
it will be noticed that the outer structure is a solid body
of wrought and cast iron, from one and a quarter to two
inehea tbieb ; the outer surface drill-proof all over.
without joints or rivets; and as the wrought enters on
tbe inner eurface. and the neat iym is on the the
wrought iron cannot be weakened by the drill, or any
cutting implement, or even. bent or displaced by the
sledge as the cast iron will not bend; consequently. it
willstand any reasonable amount of sledgmg. (Ms
not practical for the burglar to do much). Therefore, it
is entirely reliable in this respect
The door being generally one and a half to two inches
thick. solid iron, and drill-proof, it has the strength to
protect the lock; end alt that is required is to properly
attach the lock. which has been done. It will be noticed.
also. that the Chilled-Iron Safe is so protected against
the drill, and all cutting lelPlettleala• that the burglar
bits nothing left to use but the sledge, which 14 imprac
ticable, and unless he can pick the lock he fails.
The Chilled iron Safe has the new locks attnehed—the
Bank or Duodecason Look, and the Monitor or the Mer
cantile Look. Thew locks are mental, and Work by
numbers, wit/bout key. The number of changes are
from 260,000 to woe, con They arc attached to the door
by a hrdened ateal bolt. which tarns in a hardened
steel so c ket fitted to a hole in the door, of the form of a
taper.' the largest diameter outside. This prevents the
lock from being dtsplaced by any outward force, and the
depth of hardened steel prevents the action of the drill.
and there is no keyhole to apply powder. These locks
have an ingenious piece of mechanism attached called
the Antimicrometer Attachment, which places Ahem en
tirely beyond the lock-pick. while all the other and heel
bank locks are or may be picked through the aid of the
machine called the Micrometer.
A keyed lock cennot be CaUed a l l ugaProo Lock.
With the aid of the Micrometer keyed lecke are rea•
dily picked. The keyes are liable to be stolen at any
time; a wax impression may be taken from the key in
an instant, and a false key obtained; the key may be
lest. en app li ed P dishoneet hands: in Most CUBS powder
may bethrough the k eyehole without the aid of
the drill, ae powder will go where the key goes. and it
is found extremely difficult to make a keyed lock pow
der-proof. Indeed, every day's experience proves the
keyed lock entirely =reliable against burglary.
Haying very briefly. and. I trust, fairly presented the
Points Proposed. in their order. I have only to request
that all parties in' erected will critically review this ar
ticle: first, to fully underetand the fundamental princi
ples applicable to the safe, without which they cannot
indite as to ice merits; second, to learn and to fatly ap
breciate :be very great advantages the Chilled - Iron Sere
as over the common Safe, both as a Fire Proof and a
Burglar-lima.
I would !MY, farther, that the statistics show that
there are thousands of dollars lost by burglary to one
dollar by lire in Safer, and daily experience proves the
importance of the Burglar-Proof Sale.
