Killing itnw It I Done In an
Abattoir
Those who have only eecu hogs killed upon
the farm, have little ideii ho w the thing is done
In slantrhter-houses. If they have been through
the large slaughtering establishments at Cin
cinnati or Chicago, they have got a good insight
into the business; but to ce the whole in per
fection, with all the modern improvements, let
person go to Com muni paw, New Jersey, oppo
Bite the southern point of tbo city, and witness
the transformation of live hogs into pork as if
by magic, at that place. We will not assert,
with some, that it is done up so scientifically
that "the operation is rather agreeable than
otherwise," and each animal, whether hog, or
flock of sheep, "awaits with impatience his turn
to betaken ofl;"butif the extent of squeal
expresses the amount of suffering, it is here
of short duration, fur long before the farmer's
hog has uttered those short guttural notes indi
cating that he was om the point of caving in.
having led his assailants in several furious
charges about the yard, our hog would have
been treated to a warm bath, and scraped down
in the-most approved style by his humane and
scientific manipulators. Not only is the feilliug
done np in the most expeditious manner, but it
is claimed that the greatest economy is uood
that irom a pig's snout to the end of his tail, all
is saved "except the squeal," and that is only
allowed to escape through tear that "it would
require a two cent stamp upon it it retained."
The building in which the killing is doue is
380x100 leet, with three projections or winirs,
each 100x00 feet, and in these wins tile hogs
are yarded and butchered, and the final opera
tions ol dressing are performed just as they
reach the main room. Most of the space is
used for haneine up the hogs alter killing, the
slides huldiiig 7000 ot tneiu; aud by the time
they are all toll, the first are ready to be stacked
up, or passed through the chute into the waijoas
below. A separate ouihiing contains the thou
sands of boss to be drawn from as wanted.
They are driven in squad of about 2'JO up some
back steps into a pen. From this they are
hoisted up by a hind leg. the sticking biin
done while suspended, othat the blood slmll
rnn out quickly. After bleeaine to death they
are dropped into a tank ot hot water, regulated
to the right temperature by steam pipes and a
cold water tap.
When sufficiently scalded, they are floated
upon a set of irou tiugeis, or rack, in one end of
the tank, and a lever or brake tips them upon
the raised bench, where quick hands and scrap
ing implements soon remove the bristles. From
this they are slipped upon a suspended hook,
the upper end of which is connected with a
wheel running upon a neariy circular track
overhead, and when everything is complete, a
sort of lever, suspended from another track
running nearly the length of the building, lifts
the hog from the hook and transfers him into
any desired slide or frame, where a push shoves
him to his place at the further end.
We will now go minutely through the opera
tion ot killing, as the Dutchman did when asked
who killed in that establishment: "I kills my
self there," was the reply. We will here remark
that it takes quite a ettut? of men to run such a
machine expeditiously, and only those skilled
can turn out two well-dressed hogs per minute
lrora each of the six stands or benches, as we
have repeatedly seen them do. This, in i'act, is
the average, and with gangs at each ot the
benebC9, seven bundled and twenty has can be
run off per hour. They are not all in use at
present.
It takes thirty men and boys to make up a full
or working pang at each bench or form, em
ployed as tollows: Two men or boys to keep
the pens supplied with hops; three to slip a
rope around a hind leg, and hoist them by
means ot a pulley-wheel; one to stick them; two
to work them over with sticks and hooks, in the
water: two to tip them out when seal Jed; ten to
pull, haul, and scrape them; five upon each
side of the bench, armed with oncers. scraprs
somewhat like the bottom of an old-fashioned
round iron candlestick knives, and the end of
a cold water pipe to wash them otT with. Tho
bog is Bet upon a moment by the first pair, then
rolled over to the second, and so passed down
tho inclined form, and by tho time he reaches
the lower end is ready for the gambrel by which
he is strung up.
One man inserts the gambrel, and attaches
him to a clamp or hook upon the track, wher
he is seized by the man with a long knife, one
stroke of which downward and another up
ward makes the opening for the removal of the
oflal. Two or three more slight cuts inside,
and the "inwards" are thrown upon a bencu for
the four cleaners and riddlers to take charge of,
the liver and heart going in another direction.
One man now plays (he hose upon the carcass
to wash otf the blood, another gives the finish
ing scrape with a knife, while two men are kept
at work transferring them from the suspended
track to the slides or frames, and pushing theoi
back in their places, all facing in one direction.
A full set will have about twenty-five hogs
under way at once, between those suspended
for stickiuer and the washed oil-animal. Tho
whole thing moves like clock-work, aud no
idlers ate toiprated, as they would cause a jar
or bitch in the work. Everything is carried on
with so much neatness, and there is such a
iinished look to the carcasses, when dressed,
that the most fastidious pork-eatcra could inter
pose no objections on the point of cleanliness.
Lesides, the operations are all open to inspec
tion and criticism.
The caul and cleaner portions of the fat are
tried out separately in the large steam tanks for
what la culled No. 1 lard, whtl i j the other is kept
by itself and graded according to quality, the
poorest being sold for a cheap grease. The
"pluck," that is, heart, liver, and lights, are
thrown into the tanks for the little grease they
contain, the residue going to the manure heap.
Here is a waste of what should eo towards
feeding the poor, in sorue shaoe, a hog's liver
reallv being little inferior to that of a bullock.
Indeed, many farmers throw away the latter,
and retain the former. The small Intestines are
saved for sausage casl3?s, while the blood goes
to waste, falling into the water below, and is
carried otf by the tide. This will in time be
gavel for its chemical and fertilizing properties.
In fact, arrangements are now making to
secure it
At present the work is all done by haud labor,
but machinery is being erected. s that the
heaviest portions, viz., hoisting the hoirs i for
sticking, and tipping them out or the soaldimr
tank, cuu be doue by steam power. Ihia will
save the labor of three or tour meu.
Such ts the end of a bo2. and so many of them
find their latter end in this and other eablish
tnentsot less note (nearly 10,500 ut this place
the pant week), that there would be danger ot
the race becoming extinct but lrom the r pro

Mr. Hnon'i committee to hear testimony concern
ing the aei-lrabilliy of continuing to run steam oars
In tbe built up portions of the city held another
sssrion in thin city on Saturday afternoon The
(irrmantown road was the on under ocaHra
tlon. The committee met last Wednesday, at tl ir
r if burg, and with one more sitting, to tune place
next (Saturday, it Is prohatle thai their hnsiuess
will be completed, so far as the taking of testimony
Is concerned. The evidence on Saturday wasthis:
Mlchsel price, Sr., deposed that ne has a coal
yard at the corner of Ninth street and Montgomery
avenue; thought the railroad as It Is was a neces
tltj ; cever saw any accident on the road; the dan
der to persons by the drawing ot trocars by horses
wni'ld be much greater than by the locomotive
T. .1. luaginnls, sworn Witnes has lime-vtirds
at Nin'b and Master and at Ninth and Ooates
streets; the removal of tho track would beau In
jury to the business community; witness would
ibeu be compelled to fjllo w the road or draw the
lime by horse and cart; for building purpjses the
value of property along Ninth street Is certainly
deteriorated, but for business uses it Is enhanL'ttd.
W. J. P. White, eworn Has lived at TiogA Sta
tion tor Ave years; if the railroad was removed
west of Broad street his property would decline
In value about twenty. five percent; never saw
any accid nt on the road dunng the time he has
ridden on it; the road was au Immense convenience
to the business community; the run mug of steam
engines is a benefit to me city; believed that more
aliments happened on p"Seuger railways tnau
on steam; that more danger would result "from a
iraln of cars drawn by horses on the steam road
than by a locomotive.
O J. Warner testified that he had lived atl and
frjo Green street for thirty years; the cars on Ninth
street are ot no inconvenience or detriment to his
comfort; his business would be interfered with
very ranch by the removal ot the d-pof; in 1-3U the
property he occupies wns bought for Sf-itio, and
purchased in l-li for JMt'tio; for ten years witness
bud known of i.o accident; fl tgmen are stationed
at the corner of Ninth and Ureen streets
Daniel Maule testified that he 11 ves iu (Jerman
tnwn; have travelled over the road about ;en thou
sand times; know of no accident within seven or
eight years; beard ot no remonstrance of the people
of Oermantown against the cars running through
Germantown; If horses wereemployed there would
be more danger, from the fact that children would
be jumping off and on.
Mr. Griffith testified that he lives In the vicinity
of railroad at Nice'own; have ridden over the road
lor several yenrs; my objection to the road is reck
lessness at times; they run sometimes at the rate of
twenty miles, which makes It very dangerous.
W hat will be the upshot ot this Is more than we
can foretell.
Destruction of a Large Brewery.
About hali-pust 7 o'clock yesterday uiorniuir,
a hre broke out at Charles idtmeyer's lnger beer
brewery, situated at Seventeenth aud Hamilton
streets, and the building aud contents were
damaged to the extent of about $15,000. The
brewery is a large three-story brk'k b lildinir,
40 by 125 feet in extent. The lire orieriiiated iu
the Q.alt-rom on the lower floor. Tins malt

force.
lie quickly shut the fire-proof, when the
flames immediately 6ped np ito the third story
and set fire to about seven thousand bushels of
malt, stored there for the purpose ot makiuir
"buck beor." This malt was ail dostroved. but
the tire did not get beyond the third story.
There was no lazer beer destroyed, alt .o'lsrh
there were two thousand barrels iu the vaults,
but some of the machinery was injured. The
firemen hadtrreat ditliculty in reaching the lire,
or else the damage would not have been as ex
tensive as it whs. There was an insurance of
$18,000 on the malt and machinery in the
People's, Spring Garden, and Royal Insurance
companies, aid the buuding was tusured iu the
Fire Association. The establishment will be
enabled to resume business in a few days.
Oub Firemen. Tho carriage to be pre
sented to the Liberty, of Ueaoing, by the fair
mount, of this citv, is rapidly approaching com
pletion, and will be taken home bv a committee
on February 22. The carrlaze will be a splen
did aua'r, tne siae6 ot tne reel oeiua or piaie
mirror class, and the workmanship tho finest
that has been attempted in Philadelphia for
many years.
The America nose company win, during tue
present wei-k, inaugurate their new hose house
by goine into active service.
The Mechanic Kngine Company have ordered
a new carriage to be conslrueted.
The Marion Hose Company are having their
blue hose carriage dene up, and it will be quite
a serviceable as well as a neat aQ'air wneu
completed.
The Hope Engine Company intend making an
excursion to Boston and Charlc-towu, Mass.
They will leave this city on the 14th of June
next and return on the 22d. In Boston they
will be the guests of the Barnicoat, No. 4: in
Charlestown, ot the "Howard." Ou the 17th
they ecpectto attend the celebration commemo
rative of the Buttle of Bunker Hill.
The Northern Liberty Hcse Company's white
carriage, which was presented to them by the
Orion Association, is undergoing repairs,
Nearly Finished. The repair of the in.inrles
snstulued by the Union League house, from tne in
cendiary fire some months ago, will be completed
in a few more days. The frescoing is now being
entirely renewed. It will be much more durable
than before, and, by water aloue, cannot again be
in the same manner injured. The plaster work
has received, In the first place, a coat of oil paint.
Over this has been spread a coating of a composi
tion of combined wax and gum lamar, while upon
this the frescoing colors are now being laid.
The work is very handsome. The tints are
deeper and warmer than before, and look all the
better for being less delicate. No expense is being
spared in. rendering the rppalrs elaborate, and the
condition of the building, when all is finished, will
be at least as good as new.
