A New Way to Protect Safes.—A new
English invention is describedas a“safe
protector.” It consists of a small apparatus
fitted in the upper corner of a safe and dear
the door, performing the functions of a gas
meter.* Ah ordinary pipe affords a supply
gas*which passes through the protector iuto
a large iron pipe running from the safe to a
lamp in the street. - The iron pipe is an air
chamber, and serves to contain a gas pipe,
wbicb is preserved by means of a drill proof
coil of steel wire. Tne lamp is intended to
be of unusual appearance, and to give s very
brilliant light. The mechanism of the pro
tector is strong, but even a blow on the top
of ibe safe will disconnect the supply of gas
and put out the light. The same result
wonlo be effected by any tampering with
the door or the pipes. In large cities; Where
safes are numerous within small areas, it is
cen 1 emplated to employs special watchman
who would, of course, immediately detect
the absence of the external signal.

rived from his moonlight excursion; in

Fire this Morning.— About 11 o’clock
this morning a fire brok out in the cellar of
a large two and a half* storied brick build
ing located 'at tbe southeast corner of
Twenty-first and Market streets. The
structure is divided into several apartments.
Tbe corner store basement and upper stories
were occupied by Amos Watson, dealer in
hay, grain and flour. Tbe fire, as before
stated, originated in the cellar among a lo
of hay and burned through tbe first floor
damaging the stock contained therein to a
considerable extent No. 2056 and No. 205!
Market st., were occupied respectively by
Barney Dougherty as a liquor store and by
Patrick M. Gibbons, dealer in shoes
Both Mr. Dougherty’s and Mr. Gibbons’s
establishments were directly over the base
ment in which the fire broke out. Several
holes' were burned in the floors of both
stores. Mr. Dougherty estimates his loss
on stock and fixtures at about $5OO. The
liquors contained in his place were nearly
ail stolen, but little if any being destroyed
by the fire. Mr. Gibbons’s stock, which he
valued at $2,500, was almost ruined by wa
ter. .Be bad an insurance of $6OO only
upon tbe same. Mr. Watson has an in
surance of $l,OOO upon his stock and
fixtures, which will probably cover one
half of bis loss. The back part of tue
building facing on Twenty-first 'street
was ocoupied by Mrs. Brogan as a
dwelling, Her furniture was damaged to
the amount of $l5O by breakage and water.
During the excitement attending the fire
some person forced-open a bureau drawer
iu Mrs. Brogan’s bouse and took therefrom
$l5 in money.
Tbe building belongs to Mr. Barkins and
was probably damaged to the extent of
$5OO fully covered by 1 osurance,
A one-storied brick building No. 2052
Market street, occupied as a coal and lime
office, was deluged with water; damage to
fnrnitnre about fifty dollars.
, Tbe origin of the fire is at present not
known.

Interesting; from Virginia.
Richmond,. Va., Dec. I.—A. meeting of the
leading citizens of the Peninsula counties
of Virginia, held at Williamsburg, have
unanimously adopted resolutions declaring
that the legislature, which meets on Mon
day next, should immediately call a Con
vention to frame a new Constitution adapted
to the hew order of society and relieve the
people from their indebtedness in ratio
that their present property possessions
shall hear to the losses caused by the war.
It is understood that Gov. Pierpont will
recommend the adoption' of the Constitu
tional Amendment in his message.
Interesting ,rom Baltimore.
IBy the United Etatis Associated Pre^i.j
Bautihobe, Deo. I.—The New Surveyor
of the Port, William Wales, of the Commer
cial, entered on his dnties, this morning,
vice E. Fulton, of the American, removed.
Deputy-Surveyor Parker has also been re
moved, and Robert Cathcart appointed in
his place. There are indications of a general
removal of subordinates. -
Mr. Fulton was the last of the supporters
of Congress In the Baltimore Custom house,
and the above subordinates were all of the
same class.
Considerable interest is manifested in
the mercantile and newspaper world
as to the telegraphic, contest between
the old Associated press and Mr.
Craig’s new organization. The coarse of
the American in refusing to submit to the
exclusive orders of the old association is
highly approved, and the superiority of thA
despatches furnished by the new association
generally admitted.
Their old fogy notions will not suit the
present progressive age.
A colored artist named William
son has astonished our connoisseurs who
think nothing good can come out of Africa,
with a life-like portrait in oil of Judge
Bond, for which he has had two sittings.
The likeness is and the execution is
very fine.
From Washlngto ’.
Washington, Deo. I.—The Congressional
Committee to investigate the Cotton and
Sugar frauds in the New York and* other
custom-houses will, on Monday, ask leave
to remove the seal of secrecy from their
proceedings. It is rumored that their re
port will involve annmber of high officials.
From the Dry Tortngas.
The following interesting report has been
kindly furnished to the United States and
European News Association by the Secre
tary of War of the refutation of the charges
of inhumanity against officers at the Dry
Tortugas:
The officer sent to investigate the charge
contained in the article in the New York
World concerning the treatment of prisoners
and soldiers at the Dry Tortugas has just
returned and made his report.
The following is the concluding portion of
it: "The conduct of the officers in each in
dividual case, mentioned in the World, has
been grossly and maliciously misrepre
sented, but this is not to be wondered at,
considering the course of the report imme
diately after the appearance of the article in
question. A search was made in the quar
ters of the Chicago conspirator, Gren
fel, and among his papers was
found a draft of the same letter that had
appeared in the World addressed to
Bradley S. Johnson, who. it is presumed,
forwarded it to the World for publication.
Grenfel is represented as very unrelia
ble, self-willed and rebelliously disposed,
and would be anywhere else a
dangerous man. His word cannot be
depended upon even in the commonest
transaction of life, and having been deposed
from the position of gardener, he has since
ei deavored to place the officials in a very
unenviable light before the world,by trump
ing up charges against them for inhuman
treatment of the prisoners in their charge.
The charges, which,taking their foundation
from the most trivial circumstances,
were enlarged and exaggerated to such
distorted proportions, as only his'
low and sordid mind is capable of.
Bis diary ''shows that he has been
in secret communication with the
rebel in the Saulh, and that
he has been led'to believe that strong
measures.would be taken to effeot his re
lease. His game wasthentodrawattentiou
to the Dry Tortugas, and thesupposed atro
cities there committed, and through the in
strum en tality of theiniluence thus acquired,
secure his release, and enlist in his favor
the sympathies of the public. He has mis
erably failed.
I visited the cells of all the prisoners
there, and their oleanly and or
derly appearance spoke well for
the care and vigilance exercised by
■he commanding officer, for the comfort
and well-being of the prisoners. The pri
soners receive the same rations as the en
listed men of the post, and are neatly
and comfortably dressed, and the labors
required of them are of a very light char
acter.
[Signed] P. H. Sheridan,
Major General U. S. A.”
The Fenians.
Buffalo, Dec. I.—The Stephen’s wing of
the Fenians was organized here last evening
and money and arms was donated for'the
cause in Ireland.
Roberts, and some of the Fenians present,
thought the most feasible work was the in
vasion of Canada, and opposed the sending
of arms and money to Ireland, where they
had no confidence in success at present.
It was stated that - officers of experience
were required to be sent to Ireland.
One man donatedahorseand buggy worth
8300. There is some feeling between the
two wings, but it is kept down and all
seem; animated to work in any way that
their object can be obtained. ,
3:45 O’Oloofe.
Probable Bespite of the Condemned Fe
ninns.
Tobonto, C. W,, Deo. I.—lt is understood
that the Fenians recently sentenced to death,
will probably he respited for three months;
to await the result of appeals in their he*
half .before the courts.
Justice Richards yesterday announced
that judgment in. the case of Slavin would
be given to-day, this being theJast day of
the term, and decisions are expected in the
other cases also.
