TILE GREAT FIREMEN'S PARADE.

The Biggest Thing of the Bind. Ever Got
up In the state manacle of
Philadelphia.
A Grand Re•nnion of Pennsylvania
I=ollll
Over Twenty VINIOng Companies in Line
Particulars of the Parade, Scenes,
• Incidents, &C.
Thursday was a day long to be remembered
in Lancaster, u day never to be forgotten by
the gallant and efficient fire department of
this inland city. From early morning until
12 o'clock the crowd in our usually
quiet streets continued to swell until it
looked us if all. the rural districts had sent
a large proportion of their population to wit
ness the great parade of our firemen. All
over the city the air w,,s filled with notes of
music from the many superior bands Which
accompanied the different clebTat ions
front Philadelphia,. Heading, York, Har
risburg, Lebanon, Altoona, and all the
interior cities and towns of the Keystone
State.
The weather NVIIS remarkably fine, and
one of the most beautilul Autumn days was
vouchsafed by the IteCOLII modeling clerk of
the weather for this joyous occasion.
The famed hospitality or Lancaster 1111 F,
made her 1t reputation among the tiremen
of the State, and an invitation to visit us is
never •Mused. Our firemen know just how
to do the right thing in the right way, and
in their efforts to entertain visitors they are
always sustained by our I ilairal and hospita
ble citizens.
Then• is but one opiuioa in regard to our
s. Thu uniVOISUI expression of opin
ion is that thcrk-are physically the finest set
of men ever seen together by our people.
Their vonduct throughout was admirable,
and they leave behind them a reputation
for gentlemanly demeanor of which they
may well be proud. The entire city wel
comed them most cordially, especially the
ladies of I,aneaster. As the parade passed
along the route, showers of bouquets fell
front fair hoods, nod wreaths almost tams•
mere lilt encircled the necks of the strangers.
'l'lle whole affair passed off without the
slightest accident. As noticed from the
capacious stand in Centre Square, on which
sat the Governor of the State, and the
Mayor and city officials, the scene was a
most interesting and exciting one. Our
firemen have the satisfaction of knowing
that it is consid e red by the oldest of our
Philadelpha visitors that the parade was in
all respects the finest ever witnessed in the
State outside of Philadelphia not excepting
the City of Pittsburg.•
Below will be found lull particulars of the
parade. Our reporters have endeavored to
give an accurate aevount of the whole affair,
and we think it will be acknowledged that
_they have succeeded.

strangers, but as men bound together by
common dangers, a common employment,
and a common brotherhood with the closest
ties of affinity. He paid a handsome com
pliment to the United States Hose, which
had been the guest of the Union .on a
former oceasion. To the Hibernia he ex
tended a very cordial welcome. He referred
to the fact that the Union of Lancaster had
been the first to send a company to the late
war from this city, while the Hibernia had
tendered their splendid Engine to the gov
ernment and accompanied it to the City of
Washington, where they did good service
during the rebellion. The speech of Capt.

cially kind greeting extended to them. The

hospital ides of the Union, still entertained
most pleasant memories of that occasion,
and all, without exception, were loud iu
their praise of Lancaster. The United
States would have been glad to be present,
but being unable to do so in a body, had
sent a delegation, and with the delegation
they had sent a slight testimonial of their
graiettil remembrance. He then presented
to the Union a nandsomely framed group
of portraits of Use most prominent mem
bers of the United States, some thirty five
hi all. He assured the members' of the
Union that these svm blances truthfully in
dicated that those whom they represented
were alwa) s with them in spirit, and in
that cumuu,u brotherhood winch distin
guished volunteer firemen wherever they
were to be found. Frequent applause pleas
antly interrupted Mr. Buckwafier's speech.
Adjutant A. C. Reiuoehl accepted the gift
in a neatly conceived speech. He alluded
to the oft repeated assertion that the Ameri
can people were too much engrossed in
men ly material pursuits, and said occa
sions like the present were golden days in
a lifetime. He closed his remarks with
an appropriate allusion to the Star Spangled
banner, and expressed the hope thatno star
might rt t•r be erased from it, and not one
of the likenesses among the group before
him ever fade.
This presentation ceremony being con
cluded the serious business of the evening
began.
the Hibernians and United States are
mostly huge fellows physically, and have
appetites according to their size, but we are
sure every one found a superabundance of
substam ials and delicacies before him. The
eating was vigorously begun and continued
with energy until sated appetites cried hold.
Then ca use the regular toasts of the evening.
Stuart A. Wylie, Esq., of the Lancaster
Inquirer, Chair of the Committee of
Arrangements, proposed
The happy family—The members of the
" United Stays," bound up in the " Union."
To this toast Charles Buckwalter, Esq
responded on behalf of the "United States."
He said he deemed it an honor to be an
active member of the Fire Department; an
organization confined to no city, to no
State, but extending all over the land. It
was national iu its extent, and eminently
national iu all its instincts and actions.
Wherever it existed was a body of men
whose hearts responded to the claim of
brotherhood with their fellow firemen
wherever to be found. No fireman could be
a stranger in any city. Let him go where he
would friends and brothers would be found
ready to greet him. In the late war the
government felt that it could always rely
upon the firemen, and nobly did they re
spond to every call made upon them. The
discipline gained in the ranks of the depart-
meat mad; them soldiers from the start,
and on every battle field their blood was
cheerfully shed as a sacrifice to the cause of
the Union. Neither oratory, poetry or
painting could delineate with sufficient
clearness the high courage and the many
manly virtues of the volunteer firemen. He
expressed his pleasure at being present, and
in eloquent words returned thanks, on be
half of the company he represented, to the
"Li Ilion" for their handsome entertainment,
The second regular toast, prepared by
James F. Downey, was:
" We have succeeded In accomplishing an
object long sought—the 'Union ' ct the 'United
States' with ' Elbe: ula.'
To this toast Col 11. A. Cook, of the
Baxter Fire Zonaves, responded. He com
menced by remarking that the first
regular lire company of Pennsylvania was
founded in 1732 by Benjamin Franklin, and
was named the " Union." This brought a
cheer from the crowd. He said the Hiber
nia claimed to be the oldest company of
Philadelphia, and its claim was undisputed.
Once during the war of the revolution, at a
regular stated meeting of the company but
a single member was present. Then, as
now, absentees were required to furnish a
good excuse for non-attendance. They all
answered that they had been in the ranks
of the revolutionary army at the bat
tle of Trenton. [Loud cheers.] That
excuse was considered good. During
the war of 1812 they did their part
like men. They sent a company to the
Mexican war, and one to the late war, be
sides detailing a portion of their body for
duty at Washington, where their engine was
kept for service. (Cheers.) He need not
multiply words of eulogy. He thanked the
Union most cordially for their welcome.
The third regular toast was:
" Our city and its guests."
This toast was responded to by Mayor
Sanderson, in his usual felicitious style.
He complimented the firemen for their
public spirit and their many manly virtues,
and extended to the guests of the city a hear
ty welcome. The Mayor was loudly cheered.
The next toast was:
" The Fire Department of New Jersey."
This was responded to in a few brief and
happy remarks by John A. Wean, Esq.,
Chief Engineer of the Fire Department of
fet.iiiiiiesl , (.!rig wil:rd for
rule :41, ccli which elicited mli,ll up
Wilbur H. Myers, of the Hibernia sang
"Wearing of the Green" in fine style, and
the whole crowd joined in the chorus with
enthusiasm.
The fourth and last regular toast was
"The Press."
This was respc.nded to in a short im
promptu speech by H. G. Smith, of the IN
TELLIGENCER.
Mr. John Hart very effectively recited a
regular Hard Shell Sermon, with allusions
appropriate to the occasion. This perform
ance elicited peals of laughter.
Ainidthe popping:of champagne corks the
fun was kept up until midnight, when the
visiting firemen proceeded to serenade H.
E. Slaymaker, the popular President of the
Union, Vice President Capt. B. F. Baer, Dr.
Markley and others.
The occasion was one of unmixed plea
sure. The supper was prepared by Messrs.
Eden tti, Killian, and it did great credit to
their skill as caterers.
Banquet of the Washington Fire Company.
Immediately after the conclusion of the
prade, the Washington Fire Company en
tertained the companies visitingthem, with
a most bountiful collation. The yard in the
rear of their house was entirely roofed over
with canvass and tablas were set down
each aide of it; at the western end a tem
porary kitchen was curtained off on one
side, while on the other a bar was erected.,
from which the thirsty firemen exhausted
after their Long march, were liberally re
freshed with lager. The tables were
abundantly supplied with substantials and
delicacies and were not neglected by the
Rguests. Mayor Sanderson, S. H. Reynolds,
eq., and Mr. Kelly, of the Philadelphia
Hose, made speeches.
The Washington and their friends shortly
after 5 o'clock, upon invitation from Mr.
Franke, repaired to his saloon, where they
were liberally entertained.
The Washington boys feel themselves
under great obligations to their lady friends
by whose exertions and liberality they were
enabled to offer so elegant a repast to their
guests.
The Banquet to the Neptitne and Spring
Garden Hose.
At the close of the Parade he Sh
fler Fire. Company, accompanied by their
guests, the Neptune and Spring Garden,
of Philadelphia preceded by Sweeny's
Brass Band, of West Chester, proceeded to
the Garden of Mr. Samuel Fritz, in Cones
toga street, where a splendid Banquet bad
been prepared under the supervision of
Mrs. A. K. Bowers and the lady friends of
the Spiffier. After full Justice taut been
done to the eatables and bibibles, Colonel I
0, J. Dickey made a short and happy
speech, welcoming to our town the repre
sentatives of the only large city where
firemen put out their neighbors' tires,
without being paid for it. Mr. Jas. H.Smith,
of the Neptune, responded, thanking the
Shiftier for their kind and hospitable re
caption. Mr. John W. Chase, of the Spring
Garden, thanked the ladies for their elegant
entertainment. Major A. C. Reinoehl,
being then called for, said he was of the
opinion that on occasions like this the
firemen believed in long dinners and short
speeches, few words and many drinks. He
referred to the appropriateness of the two
companies being the guests of the Shiflier,
named after a Philadelphia fireman, and
elosed with a tribute to the American citizen,
soldier in war and•fireman in peace, and
to the ladles for their kindness to soldiers
and firemen. The Neptune boys sang
"Sherman's March to the Sea" with line
effect, after which a club in the band also
favored the guests with a splendid song.
The " Neppies" and Spring Garden boys
were delighted with their reception, and the
event was a happy and memorable one.
During the proceedings two handsome
cakes were presented to the Neptune and
Spring Garden boys by the ladies.
Later in the evening Sweeny's Band, with
a Committee of the Neptune and Spring
Garden and Shittier, gave a serenade to
Hon. Thud. Stevens, Col. 0. J. Dickey, R.
W. Shenk, Esq., and others of our citizens,
and were received with a hearty welcome
by all.
Banquet of the American Fire Company.
The old American last evening gave their
guests, the Good Will of Altoona, and
Liberty of Reading a handsome entertain
ment. At eight o'clock the two companies
headed by the Ringgold Band of Reading
proceeded to the hall of the American,
where they were welcomed in a happy
speech by Samuel 11.,1Peice, Esq., which
was responded to by Col. Geo. W. Alex
ander, of Reading, on behalf of the guests.
Uncle Jake Tripler, the oldest active fire
man in Philadelphia, was then introduced
and made a few remarks. lie had in the
morning presented the Company with a
photograph of himself equipped as a young
fireman. Col. McClure, of Philadelphia,
made the presentation speech, it being re
ceived by Samuel F. Bethvon. After a
welcome from the Mayor the boys fell to
work and did full justice to the viands.
Later in the evening the Shittier of Lancas
ter, and the Neptune and Spring Garden
companies of Philadelphia, preceded by
Swreny's Band ,serenaded the American
boys, when they were invited up, and also
partook of the hospitalities of the American.
The PrienclBhtp Banquet.
The Friendship entertained their visitors,
the United Sltites a nd the Hi bernia of Phila..
delphia, at the Eagle Saloon Hall, in the
most handsome style. The table spr ad by
Messrs. Anderson tV. Creamer, was tilled
with a superabundance of substantials and
delicacies. The Philadelphia boys did
ample justice to the good things before
them. When there came a lull in the clat-
ter of knives and forks, numerous toasts
were drunk and responded to. The first
was, "The health and prosperity of the
members of the United States." To this
the President of that Company responded.
Col. Cook of the Hibernia answered to a
toast in honor of that Company, in his
usual happy style. George Nauman, Esq.,
and W. A. Wilson, Esq., made each short
and telling speeches. Mayor Sanderson
dropped in at a late hour and was received
with cheers. In response to u toast, he
made his twelfth speech for the day, and
showed that he was good for a dozen inure
if need be. There was some line singing
by Messrs. Wilbur and Vascbe, of Puda
delphi a, and the whole occasion was one or
so much real pleasure that we sincerely re
gret that time and space will not allow us
to do it full justice.
The Empire Banquet.
The Empire Hook and Ladder of Lan
caster entertained their numerous visitors
at a sumptuous banquet in Fulton Hall.—
The Empire of Altoona, the Mount Vernon
of Harrisbur'g and the Vigilant of York
were their guests. The supper prepared
by George Lutz was a most sumptuous one.
Gov. Geary and other distinguished per
sonages were present. The stage was taste
fully decorated, and a number of the lady
friends of the Company occupied seats
thereon.
Messrs. Gov. Geary Prof. 'Wickersham,
Mayor Sanderson and Samuel 11. Reynolds,
Esq., were toasted and severally res - ponded
in person. The different tire companies
present responded to toasts in their honor
as follows: Mr. E. B. McCrum, for the
Enap,re of Altoona; Mr. George Morgan,
for the Mount Vernon of Harrisburg, and
Mr. Daniel Heckert, for the Vigilance of
York.
' toast to the Press was responded to by
Win. M. Rukel, of Philadelphia, a toast to
the Judiciary by Samuel 11. Reynolds,
Esq., and one to the ladies by Charless M.
Howell, President of the Empire of Lan
caster. There were no liquors on the table,
and all the toasts were drank in coffee or in
sparkling cold water. The whole affair was
a complete success and reflects great credit
on all concerned.
Ihe bun
The Sun gave a collation to their guests
at Mishler's Garden in the evening . . Col.
F. S. Pyfer, John M. Amweg and some of
the marshals of the foreign companies
spoke briefly. They were also entertained
by John M. Amweg, Esq.
Dr. Benj. ;dishier called on us and re
quested us to make a note of the fact that
his handsome and capacious Garden had
been;the headquarters for the guests of the
Sun Company during their stay in this city.
Ou the arrival of the different companies,
they were conducted to the Garden where
refreshmants always awaited them. The
Schuylkill Hose and the Hand-iu-Hand of
Philadelphia, the Union of Lebanon, and
the Good Will of Harrisburg, were guests
of the Sun. They were among the very
finest bodies of men present, and their con
duct throughout was or the most gentle
manly character.
The I flo72ane.
The Humane entertained their visitors a
Sheurenbraud's Saloon.
VISITS TO "'WHEATLAND."
There was a general expression of anxiety
on the Part of our visitors to call upon ex-
President Buchanan, and quite a number
of the companies did so in a body. Thurs
day morning the Schuylkill Hose with
Beck's celebrated band made a formal visit
to Wheatland, where they were cordially
welcomed.
- - _
The New York Hcraid lhas the fol
lowing account of the visit of the Sehuyl
kill Hose and the U. S. to Mr. Buchanan
The Schuylkill Hose and Hook and Lad
der Company of Philadelphia visited ex-
President, Buchanan at Wheatland this
morning at half-past ten o'clock. They
were kindly received, and before parting
he was presented with one of the badges of
the company. Shortly afterwards a dele
gation of the United States Hose Company
of Philadelphia and the Union Fire Cow
panty of Lancaster repaired to Wheatland,
where Mr. Buchanan was
photographic group of the anmbei the
United States Hose Company. Mr. Buck -
waiter, in a few appropriate remarks,
stated the object'of the visit as well as the re
gard entertained for the ex-President by his
firemen friends in Philadelphia. He con
cluded by begging his acceptance of the tes
timonial, and wished him health and every
happiness that this Ufa' can afford. Mr.
Buchanan replied : "Gentlemen, lam very
happy to receive you on this bright and
beautiful morning, and I shall always be
happy to receive the visits of my fellow
citizens. I have just received a company of
firemen from the city of Philadelphia, who
'made me a member of their organization by
presenting me with one of their badges. I
do not know whether I can become a
member of two fire campanies or not. I
could not help admiring the very fine look-
ing set of firemen who have just retired,
and in beholding you I can see their coun
terpart—hale, hearty, cheerful men. Gen
tlemen, may you live long and enjoy your
selves and may your fire companies flourish
and continue to be the pride of Philadelphia.
It has been called a provincial city by New
Yorkers, but her firemen and her citizens
stand pre•eminent in good and noble deeds,
and I hope they will continue to do so as
long as the Union shall last. His concluded
his remarks by saying, I shall hang this
•frame upon my wall. I consider it a great
honor to receive it and an honor to keep it.
Will you walk in, gentlemen?
The party of course accepted the invita
tion, and before being conducted to the re
ception room accepted the hospitalities
which were tendered in good old fashioned
Lancaster county style. A quarter of an
hour was passed iu conversation, during
which Mr. Buchanan said he was now In
the seventy-seventh year of his age and he
looks more upon the past than to the future.
Upon the rising generation, be contends,
depends the stability of our government;
and if those of the present age and ages to
come, could have the wisdom of those who
lived in the earlier days of the republic,
they might well thank God for it.
The ex-President at the parting shook
each visitor by the hand and said " God
bless you all." The scene was brief, but
very impressive. Mr. Buchanan's health
has improved recently.
The same morning the committee of the
United States Hose, of Philadelphia, also
made a call, presenting to Mr. Buchanan,
who is one of the oldest members of the
Union, a miniature copy of the group of
their members presented to their Lancaster
friends the night before.
On Friday the Liberty, of Reading,
with Harry Reim, Esq., at their head, and
accompanied by the Ringgold Band, paid a
visit to Wheatland.
Just as they were leaving the Hibernia
marched up the lawn, under the escort of
the Union. The exchange of courtesies
between this company and Mr. Buchanan
were peculiarly pleasant, Chief Lyle and
number of the members being personally
known to him. During their stay the
Jefferson Band played the Stir Spangled
Banner. This led to a relation of the cir-
cumstances attending the production of our
National anthem.
Mr. Buchanan said Frank Keys, whom
he knew well, told him the whole story in
the most impressive manner. Keys had
been sent to the English Fleet, then in
Chesapeake Bay, to make arrangement in
regar.. to the exchange of prisoners. While
be was still on board the British Admiral's
Ship the bombardment of Fort McHenry
began. Keys was pat into a perfectly safe
position in the bold of the vessel and com
pelled to remain their during the engage
ment. With the hostile cannon thundering
their missiles against his countrymen from
the deck above his head he passed a night
of the most painful anxiety. With the
dawn the engagement ceased. Keys was
permitted to go on deck, and as he saw the
stars and stripes, through the gray mist of
theibreak.ing morning, still floating proudly
on the walls of the old Fort, under the glori
ous inspiration of the moment the th riling
words of our National air thronged through
his mind almost precisely as they are now
sung by many millions of American citi
zens. The recital of this incident was
received with loud and spontaneous cheers.
The Hand-in-Hand, of Philadelphia, ar-
rived at Wheatland just as the Hibernia
was leaving. How many other companies
called we know not; but in one way and
another the majority of the firemen pres
ent made a call on our distinguished fellow
citizen, and all were deliguted with the
visit.
It=l
IEIBMIR
On Friday morning the Hand in-
Hand Fire Company, of Philadelphia,
accompanied by the Manuyunk In
dependet Brass Baud, paid a visit to the
College. While the Baud was playing one
of-it 4 excellent pieces, the firemen marched
through the campus and formed in
a semi-circle before the main en
trance of the building. There they were
met by the Professors and students. Prof.
Appel, in a short speech, gave them a cor
dial welcome to the College, and hoped that
their visit would prove a pleasant one.
They were then shown through the Liter
ary Halls, and were very much pleased
with their appearauce, especially with the
thethean, which they considered the most
beautifully furnished Literary Hall in the
State. After visiting the Museums, Libra
ries, and the main building, a short time
was spent in social greeting and friendly
intercourse. The students welcomed the
firemen us bravo defenders of life and
property, while the firemen greeted the
students as those who are preparing to
become useful in another sphere. A
bond of union was thus formed and
strengthened by mutual kindness and
good wishes. After the Band had de
livered another piece in fine style, the fire
men " fell in," and after giving three hearty
cheers for Franklin and Marshall College,
which were returned by three for the Hand
in -Hand, marched away, This visit is ore, , -
which will not soon be forgotten, and formed
a pleasing episode in the monotony of college
life. The firemen expressed their gratifi
tion, while the students, by their polite at
tendance, testified to the pleasure afforded.
The Hand-in-Hand is the oldest company
in Philadelphia, claiming to have been in
stituted in 1741, and has enrolled among its
members a number of celebrated men of
olden times. The present members are a
tine looking set of men and well worthy
the name of "noble firemen." They weir
escored ou this occsiscou by a delegation of
the Sun Company of this city.
SERENADES.
The oity was alive on 'Thursday with music.
All through the night, away into the "we
sma' hours" of the morning, you would
not escape from the sweet strains of the
Bands, arising far and near from every
quarter of the compass; and they were the
first sounds which awakened our citizens
from their brief slumbers on Friday
morning. Music has been the order of the
day ever since and we apprehend that it
will be some days ere we cease to seem to
hear the vibrations in our ears of the pop
ular airs of the day. It is impossible for us
to say who all of our citizens were honored
with serenades, for it would be almost as
easy to say who were not. The Mayor, of
course, was visited by many Bands, and
has had an exhausting time of it in the
speech waking line for the past two days.
The la , t time we heard from him he had
made fourteen addresses, which number
has probably been largely increased ere
this. Our prominent citizens generally
were serenaded and the musicians were
hospitably entertained.
The excellent " Independent" Brass Band
of Manayunk, with the Hand-in-Hand Fire
Company of Philadelphia, serenaded the
lutelligencer Office on Friday. So did
also Beck's magnificent Silver Cornet Band,
which attends the "Schuylkill Hose." At
our office, they played The Star Spangled
Banner, Yankee Doodle and other national
airs, while at the Express Office they very
appropriately executed "John Brown's
Body," Liz.c. Beck's Band was instituted
Oct. let, 1830; 37 years ago, and we were
in forrmst Ly Al. Schofield, Esq., Chairman
if the Democratic City Executive Commit
cis of Philadelphia, who accompanied them
o our Mike, that all the members who were
n the Band then are in it now.
ei.osiNG SCENES OF THE PARADE.
The firemen had a jolly time during the last
hours spent in Lancaster. There were no
gross Improprieties of conduct, not a fight
nor a serious difficulty of any kind. A
general license seemed to prevail, however,
and the huin,m of " the b'hoys" broke forth
in various ways. Many of thew sported
wreaths made of vegetables, and multitudes
of them executed unearthly music on penny
trumpets and whistles.
A crowd paraded the streets mimicking a
brass band with tin cans for drums and tin
horns, which gave forth most discordant
and deafening notes. One party perambu
lated the city with a leader carrying a lager
beer keg on his shoulder and a dozen or
more fellows following with mugs in their
hands. They called this a traveling beer
saloon, and dealt out " the amber" without
paying any license, We have not heard of
their being indicted for violation of the
liquor law. All morning our streets were
filled with the hilarious crowd.
One by one, however, the different corn
panics departed with regrets and pledges
of great affection for the firemen, the
ladies and Lancaster in general. Most of
the Philadelphians waited forthe afternoon
train, which was run for their special ec
comtnodation. During twenty minutes
immediately preceding its departure, the
depot presented an exciting spectacle. It
was litterally jammed full of jolly firemen
A half dozen splendid bands ware playinl:
wal , zes at once, and men were dancing as
it :f.ey never knew fatigue. Conspicuous,
in the centre of the Throng were the two
fattest firemen who visited our city. They
had a regular set to against each other, and
danced an old-fashioned break down, in
their heavy overcoats and bats, until the
persperation run from them in streams.
They each wore vegetable wreaths compos
ed of sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, red beets
and onions strung on strong twine. Thus
the moments glided by until almost too
soon the locomotive, bearing a splendid
pair of buck horns and handsomely adorned
with flowers, came sweeping into the depot.
There was a sudden parting of th• crowd,
a rush for seats, and very speedily the train
was off, being followed by loud cheers from
the Lancaster Firemen and the crowd in
general. That ended the great parade.
REPRESENTATIVES OF TAE PRESS,
Among man✓ other distinguished visitors,
who were attracted to our city by the great
Firemen's Parade, were a large number of
members of the press, among whom we
noticed William Meeser, Charles Greaten,
Chas. W. Wilson, of the Sunday Mercury,
Alex. J. McCleary, of the Press, Wm. M.
Kunkel, of Philadelphia, and Alfred San
derson, of the Reading Gazette. In the
ranks of the Philadelphia firemen we found
numerous compositors and other employees
of the newspaper offices.
DARING ROBRERY.—On Thursday after
noon, about 1 o'clock, whilst the formation
of the Grand Firemen's Parade was taking
place on Orange street, a very daring rob
bery was committed, and we venture to
say that It has not been equaled for bold
ness in this city for many a day. A well
dressed man walked into the book store of
J. M. Westhaeffer, and asked for Mr. W.
Charles Mast, the clerk, went up stairs to
call Mr. Westhaeffer, when the gentleman
ly looking thief very expertly took a pocket
book from the money drawer containing
about $57 in greenbacks and decamped for
parts unknown. When the robbery was
committed, the father of Mr. W., and three
or four other gentlemen were in the store,
but did not observe the operations of the
thief.
