To the Editor of the Evening :
GErrIMICEN:—I -beg to trouble you with a
few thoughts on that vexed question, called
in sundry [newspaper artioles the ".Pork
Disease." lam not aware that your paper
has participated in these discussions, nor do
wish to draw it into them, but so much .
has been said already by misinformed-par
_
• !ties tending to mislead and alarm the pnb
.
kilo, o, and to deter them, in a great measure,
from the use of pork, that it is high time
zianch facts as are known should be made
',llllitblic. If it be true that hogs are infested
with poisonous animalcules that „render
tbSan unfit, for food, then the people should
know it, and its promulgation by the press
Wtire a , benefaction; but if' the reports,
Whether instigated by designing speculators
.or misinformed parties, are absolutely.
• without foundation, 'then such reports are
most mischievous and highly reprehensible.
That there be no, mistak"rig the confidence
I have in my sources of information on this
subject, I will assume the following posi
tions:
.First—That there is at the present time
no disease whatever existing among hogs
in America, other than such as is, or may
have been, during tne past ten or twenty
years, more or less incident to cattle, sheep,
poultry, oysters, fish, vegetables, &a.
Second—'rhat no such disease known as
"Trichina" exists in this - country ; that not
a single, solitary case has been discovered,
proved or authenticated; that it would be
' perfectly safe, to offer a reward of $l,OOO for
any one such animal found in a hog in this
• country this season.
77iircl—That no "Trichina" can live on a
piece of pork through the process of curing;
that it is a physiological impossibility; that
it would be perfectly safe to offer a reward
0f,510,000 - to any one that can place trichinae
on a fresh ham,. and sustain. a single life
during the curing process.
Much has that depised animal, the hog,
been slandered and misrepresented. He is
assumed to be the filthiest of all animals
and yet he would scorn to gobble up the
abbminable dirt and garbage of thegatters
that our domestic ducks would, which are
so highly esteemed by epicures. The facts
are> that; American hogs have the purest
and healthiest food of all animals, Let us
look for a moment at the great system of
feeding practised.in the West. The young
pigs, are permitted to roam in the woods or
pastures, feeding on nuts, grass, rye or
'corn until they grow up to weigh one hun
dred' and fifty pounds. Then, at feeding
time proper, say from September Ist to
midwinter, tkey are turned into the ripe
standing corn- fields to help themselves
without stint. A feed-lot of say fifteen acres
to the fifty hogs, accessible to a running
stream, is fenced off. The hogs with their
feet prostrate the standing ears and revel in
the enjoyment, and weath or good living.
When farmers are less lavish of their corn
they pen their hogs in a stubble or pasture
lot, cut the corn and haul it to them. In
any case in full feeding time their food is
nothing but Mire corn and water, and, for
relish, a little salt. The daily solicitude of
the farmer is to know how much corn he is
converting into pork, and the number of
pounds to a bushel is calculated to a nicety.
Strictly speaking pork is nothing but corn
manufactured by the Great Chemist of
• nature..
The contrast between hogs in America
and Germany is, so great that they do not
'look like the same animal. They are essen
tially different in breed and in modeof feed
ing.. A Westphalia ham looks so unlike an
' , American that unless by those familiar with
`:them they would fail •to be recognized as
appertaining to the animal at all. The pro
cess of curing is also widely different. In
4 the manufacture of. fine sugar-cured hams,
A which is at specialty in this country, whilst
- the 'highest degree of delicacy of flavor is
attained, the mode is an effectual bar to the
• . grgwth or propagation of animal life, visible
or invisible. The hams are immersed in a
- - -
pickle, compounded of salt, saltpetre and
- other essentials, for 45 or 50 days, during
which the pickle penetrates and pervades
every tissue. No trichince can co-exist
with it; no animal parasite can live there,
deprived of air'and pobioned with salt. This
is the universal experience of those engaged
in the business; It is easy for the unini
tiated to judge for themselves; Let them
try the experiment. rn the ordinary modes
of curing meats in dry salt, when the work
is thorough, the tissues will be found so
firm, solid and closely compacted as to be
quite impervious to the attack of the
-_ trichina.
Cured meats are of course liable to dete-
riorationby exposure in our hot climate but
each must look out for themselves that their
supplia§ do not perish through improper
exposure. •
The consumption of sugar-cured hams in
"9` ••this country is immense. They are so fine
and so favorit6 a dish we cannot -afford to
export tb,em—we—consume them all our
:selves. There is nZ;i city in the Union that
has such an appreciation of them as Phila
delphia. its standard of excellence is the
highest. ' Dealers in the articles cannot get
• any brand in the West too good for them.
In fact so universal and so indispensable
have they become on our bill of fare, that
• - were any developments possible, which
Would deprive us of their use, as an article
* of food, would be regretted as a public
calamity. .And yet it would not be difficult
at any time to create distrust in the coin
munity, by imprudent and absurd rumors,
' in reference to this or any other article of
— food. Half a dozen concurrent editorials,
, from as many papers, will create a panic. at
• any time, whether in reference to the water
• we drink or the bread we eat, It is not of
• the essence of a panic that the cause be real.
4. * On the 'contrary the theory 'is causeless
alarm,l: The timid traveler that thinks he
a,. sees a bear in the jungle, is none the less
terrified that his fears are purely groundless.
. This community exhibits at the present
time the strange anomaly of a small panic
on the subject of diseased pork whilst not a
single instance of diseased pork has been
discovered or at all likely to be. A few
medical gentlemen, wishing to attract no
tice and extend their practice, have set the
public by the ears on the subject of Trichina.
They allege that cases of it have occurred
- in this country years ago, If this be soda is
, a little singular that our soldiers have not
found it out. They have certainly had
. abundant opportunities of making the dis
covery, having consumed during the rebel
:-/ion. the products of some three to four mil
,
-.4on:hogs.
Should we undergo the calamity, at any
• , ••••?.171nse ht the future; of a visitation from
epi
•.•'demio, we may find that we shall be com
- pelled to resort to salt-cured meats for
safety. It is a well known principle that
• meat from a diseased animal cannot be
01 '• cured. It will not take the • salt.* Thus has
nature thrown a safeguard around it. Meat
that won't cure wilPspoil and e be de
,. tected. A sonndand thoroughly cured ham
, • therefore; may be presumed to be from a
perfectly healthy animal.
Our English . neighbors are nearer the
An
Germans th we, and may be presnmedto

china, and yet they don't appear to be tip
_ prehensive of the myth in American pork,
for they have bought in the United States
more largely since the agitation of the Tri
china question than for twice the time pre
vi'ous.
Every excitement, hoirever, must have its
day. This one, like others, will soon ord

SEBIOIJS CONFLAGRATION.
Fan •of a Wall and Loss Of Life.
Last evening about half-past o' oc
a tie broke out in the wholesale hardware
store of Geo. H. Roberts, Nos. 235 and 237
North Third street. The building was five
stories in height, with an iron front. The
structure,Avith the exception of the second
and third floors, was occupied by. Mr. Rob
erts. The flames originated in the rear por
tion of the first story and spread. rapidly.
The alarm was promptly given, and the
firemen - were soon upon the ground, bat
before they could get well into service the
building was almost completely enveloped
in flames. Mr. Roberts had on hand an
extensive stook, the most Of which was de
stroyed or ruined. The second and third
stories and a portion of . the basement were
occuple4 by. Messrs. James, Kent, Santee
ck, Co.
The loss of Mr. Roberts is estimated at
sl4o,ooo,which is insured in city companies.
The flames burned fiercely and soon com
municated to the store on the north, Nos.
239 - and 241—a structure similar to that oc
cupied by Mr.Roberts—occußied by Messrs.
James, Kent, Santee & Co., importers, job
bers and wholesale dealers in dry goods.
The upper stories, with their contents, were
entirely burned out. The firm had been
getting in some spring goods = and the stock
was one of the most extensive, if not the
largest, in the city.
The estimated value of the stock of James,
Kent, Santee & Co., was about $BOO,OOO.
The loss will be about poop() and is in
sured as follows :

The buildings N 05.235,237, 239 and 241 be
long to Messrs. James, Kent, Santee Lt Co.
They were valued at $70,000 and it is esti
mated, are damaged to the extent of $40,000,
which is insured.
Adjoining on the north is the extensive
drug warehouse of Smith S Shoemaker.
This_ building is also five stories in height,
with an iron front. The flames were confined
to the upper floors. The loss will probably
reach $15,000, partially covered by insurance
in city companies. The building belongs to
Ebenezer Wilthani, and the damage it sus
tained is covered by insurance.
Nos. 233 and 231, adjoining the store of
Mr. Roberts on the south, are tour stories in
height. The'first floor of No. 233 is occupied
by Messrs. Thomas & Co., dealers in notions
and fancy goods. The upper floors by J.
Esenhower, manufacturer of ladies' gaiters.
The damage sustained to the building and
stock was caused by the wall of No. 23.5 fall
ing upon the roof, crushing the rear portion
of the structure to the groped. No. 231 by
A. Stevenson & Son, leather dealers; stock
damaged by water; loss about $2,500. No
insurance. The building belongs to a Mr.
Ogden, of Woodbury, N. J., and is insured.
The Eagle Hotel, a large building, adjoin
ing No. 231 on the south, was somewhat
- damaged in the rear. The scene among the
cooks, waiters and boarders at one time was
very exciting. The boarders, apprehending
that the building would fall a speedy . prey
to the flames, removed their effects in the
shortestespace of time.
Several hours elapsed before the flames
were got under control by the firemen, and
in the store of Mr. Roberta the rujna were
still mouldering to-day. Several com
panies were in service during tne entire
morning.
The scene of the conflagration was visited
by a large number of persons this morning.
FALL OF A WALL—A FIREMAN KILLED AND
SEVERAL INJURED.
About half-past seven o'clock, while the
firemen were endeavoring to reach the
flames by placing hose on
an adjoining building; the south
wall of the building fell on the
store No. 2.33. This building was one story
less in height than the one on fire. A
number of firemen, most of them members
of the Columbia Hose, were on the roof of
233, and the falling of-the wall on this
crushed it in, precipitating the men to the
second story amid a mass of rubbish and
fire. The disaster was at once noticed, and
a scene of intense excitement followed. The
firemen directed their streams to where
they believed their comrades were buried,
and the scaling ladders were brought into
request. The exertions of the firemen were
hastened by the cries of the men inside.
When an entrance was effected a nuipber
of the members of the Columbia were
found in the ruins. Edward O'Neal, one of
the number was fastened beneath the lum
ber and before he could be extricated he
died. The others were all taken out alive.
Henry Kirby, one of those rescued, states
that the men all fell together, and when
they reached the second story, O'Neal sug
gested that they should all unite in a cry for
help, in order to, insure the probability
of its being heard by friends. As O'Neal's
head was crushed when he was taken out,
it is believed, that, while his companions
were being removed, the fall of some other
portion of the wall caused his death.
The deceased resided in Fayette street,
near Arch. He leaves a wife and one child.
The following is a list of the firemen in
jured:
Thomas Winters, of the. Columbia, resid
ing on Nassau street, above Ninth, had one
leg broken,. and was otherwise badly in
jured. Nearly all the hair on his head was
burned off.
Henry Kirby, residing. at 152 North Ninth
street, also a member of the Columbia, was
injured in his legs and arms, but not 'dan
gerously.
Matthew 0. Brian, residing at 1521 Spring
Garden street, was much injured internally,
and also in his back.
Frederick Heim, a member of the Colum
bia, residing at 104 Eutaw street, above
Cherry, had one of his legs fractured. He
had the same leg injured at the recent fire at
Rockhill 1:5: Wilson's, Chestnut street, above
Sixth.
James H. Mulheran, residing at 627
Cherry street, was considerably lacerated in
the face, head, hands, and bruised about
the shoulders. He belongs to the Columbia.
James H; McCourt, residing on Eleventh
street, above Washington avenue, was in
jured in his back, but not badly.
At the time ;these unfortunates were
buried in the mass-of crumbling walls, fire
and goods, the greatest excitement prevailed
and it was only by the most daring`and
arduous exertions that any of them were
rescued. •
In addition to the Above members of the
Columbia Holie, James H. McCourt was
badly injured by the fall ,of the wall, and'
later in the evening,Albert Ladner, a mem
ber of the U. S.. Hose, had an arm broken by
allingthrough a hatchway.
The injured men were all doing well this
morning. Dr. J. Rhein, Callowhill street
above Eleventh street, has volunteered hie
services to the Association for the relief of
disabled Firemen,eaul is now in attendance
on two of the sufferers.

be made to discover and bring the villains

ures be adopted to suppress this evil and
danger? It may be that the arrest of the
murderers of this poor German would give
a clue to some of the other crimes that have
recently been perpetrated in Camden.

"The Famine," from Hiawatha; and Poe's
"Farewell to Earth," which has been so
popular. The programme to be given by
his pupils is varied and tastefully chosen.
The Reading will be a great success.

The first production here by this Company of this
wonderfully popular opera. The able critic of the
Washington Chrontote pronounced the recent produc
tibh of "Fra Dlavolo" the most genuine success of the
sOason, and the most enjoyable operatic performance
ever given In that city. Iris not presumption to say
that no other Au erican Cast equals that of the German
Opera Company in vivacity and esprit de t'opera.
Habelman and 'Madame Rotter are esteemed as in
their most effective roles; Herman, slightly trespass
ing on that good nature 'which the public everywhere
accords him in order to please Milor. the Englishman,
with something National, int , nduces, as one of the
Robbers, Russell's popular ballad—".l'm afloat, rm
afloat"—which produces the most tumultuous eathu
viasm. and presents this popular basso in an entirely
new feature.
