FIRES DURING THE YEAR.
IBEER. ORIGIN, EXTENT, AND LOSS.
REPORT OF MARSHAL BLACKBURN,
We present below a chronicle of the fires that oc
curred in Philadelphia during the year 1861. The
report of lire Marshal Dr. A. W. Blackburn, as
submitted to the readers of Ties Press, has the
merit of extraordinary fulness and comprehensive-
AM. It contains a quantity of now and interesting
information 'relative to the origin, extent, and sup
pression of fires, and is withal cleverly written. Dr.
Blackburn is one of the few municipal officers who
aro both scholars and stewards. None have equal
narrative powers, more quickness of observation, or
correctness of judgment. His experience is large,
his industry untiring, and his enthusiasm intense.
Philadelphia is largely indebted to him for its re
pose and safety.
PHILADELPHIA. January 22, 1862.
How. ALEXANDER HENRY, Mayor:
SIR: Notwithstanding the extraordinary charac
ter of the events which have marked the past year,
(1861,) I am gratified to state that nothing trans
pired, in the history of urea in our metropolis,
during that period of time, to excite apprehension
or create alarm among our citizens for the safety of
their homes or other properties. It affords me ad
ditional gratification to report that no calamitous
conflagration occurred, and that in no year since
the creation of the office of fire marshal, was there
to little incendiarism to record. Indeed, the num
ber of clearly ascertained cases of arson for the last
six months of the year, did not average more than
one or two a month.
The whole number of fires recorded by me in the
course of the year, is 387, being a decrease of 11
over the previous year. A great many of them, how
ever, were very trifling, some, in fact, hardly wor
thy of mention, But one fire happened the loss
from which reached $lOO,OOO. This sum exceeded
by $25,000 the total damage by any one fire in 1880.
Another fire involved a less of $50,000 ; another,
235,001...tirt: /there, $25,000 each ; three others,
sls:tuo . ench ; and several others. sums from 55,000
to $lO,OOO each. The aggregate losses by all the
others ranged from $5 to $5,000.
THE HEAVIEST LOSSES BY FIRE
The most destructive conflagration of the year
was the burning, in the month of October, of the
extensive and valuable manufacturing establish
ment at the corner of Twelfth street and Washing
ton avenue, known as Craig's mills. Next in the
amount of loss was the destruction of the large
candieworks of Thain dc Co., at Twenty-fourth and
Callowbill streets, in May. The demolition of St.
Paul's Roman Catholic Church, on Christian street,
below Tenth, in the latter part of November—a
Iniehap that OCeaSiolleti Universal regret—was the
next most destructive Ere. The next heaviest
losses were by the burning of the lumber yard of
hlaule Fe Brother, at Twenty-fifth and South streets,
in January ; the wagon works of Beggs it Row
land, on Front street, above Vine, in June ; Brady's
sash factory, on Allen street, below Shaokamaxon,
in September; Canavan's morocco manufactory,
Canal street, above Girard avenue. in October ;
and Ridgway Fe Co.'s bayonet works, Germantown,
in November.
The total loss by fires for the year was—as near
ly as could be ascertained with eorreetnoss—in
round numbers, about $345,000, upon which amount
there was an aggregate insurance of about $210,000
—thus leaving a clear los' of $135,000. The loss
by fire in Philadelphia. in 1860, amounted to $363,-
000, showing a decrease of $lB,OOO in favor of 1861.
CARNES OF FIRES
Of the 387 fires, only 43—or one in every nine—
were attended by mysterious or suspicious circum
stances, indicating design in their origin. A
thorough investigation in every case failed to show
that the remaining 344 burnings were the result of
any other than accidental or natural causes of igni
tion. Accidents from causes unforeseen or unavoida
ble, occasioned 21. No less than 65 were traced to
carelessness with fire, lights, marshes, cigars, pipes,
&c. Children playing with fire and lucifor matches
were the cause of 41. Heaters, stoves, ranges,
ovens, furnaces : hot-air flues, steampipes, and other
apparatus for warming, cooking, and drying, caused
59 ; fireworks on the 4th of July, 32; defective
chimneys, 23; camphene, burning fluid, and kero
sene lamps, 18 ; reckless construction, 16 ; sparks on
roofs from chimneys of neighboring buildings, 13;
benzine, 11 ; intoxication, 10; spontaneous combus
tion, 0 ; friction of machinery, 8 gas leaks and ex
plosions, 7 ; mischief of boys, 5; lightning, 3;
pranks of a monkey, 1. Other causes, 22.
Every day's experience as a fire detective satis
fies me more and more that; while the crime of
arson will continue to be committed as long as the
hearts of men and women are Ferenc to evil, yet
The incendiary receives credit for numerous fires
that he never kindles. Carelessness., lam con
vinced, plays a much more prominent part as an
agency of conflagrations than design. Americans,
especially those inhabiting large cities, are, per
haps, more given to this unfortunate habit than any
other people in the world. Instances have come
under my notice that were really amazing ; others
often downright criminal, particularly in view of
their deplorable consequences. Think of an em
ploy e in a large manufacturing establishment put
ting a jug of benzine on top of a hot stove
FIRES FROM CHEMICAL ACTION
Among the fires from chemical action that came
under toy observation were several of a most sin
gular and remarkable nature, and one or two which
- were truly extraordinary. - These cases, while they
have interested as well as surprised and astonished
me, have afforded new and still more convincing
evidences of the truth of what my investigations
have constantly developed in regard to spontaneous
combustion as a powerful agent in the production
of fires, Not only the humble fire investigator,
but the most astute and sage searcher inta the ob
scure mysteries of Nature. has, in my opinion, yet
much to learn of this subject which, though full of
interest to all scientific and reasoning men, is ridl 3
culed by the incredulous, and jested of by the
ignorant
Finns rztom FLUES
The danger of fire from placing hot-air flues and
smoke-pipes in too close , proximity to woodwork
has been so satisfactorily demonstrated as to be now
almost universally conceded. The question, how
ever, as to whether an over-heated steam pipe will
char and finally ignite the fibrhs of timber, has
o
hitherto been areopudagp3,t • egl i t a irryb ie r
ago,
my
- attention - was called to a striking instance, in a
manufactory, where combustion commenced in the
boards of a floor, underneath which an iron pipe,
that supplied steam from the boiler to the engine,
passed so closely as to be, in some places, in actual
contact with the wood, which was fat pine. The
fire took place at an early hour in the morning,
just after the engineer had got up steam fur the
day, and the factory made a narrow escape from
destruction. The combustion started just at the
spot where the pipe touched the wood, and as
was unable to account for the origin or the fire upon
any other rational theory, I have ever since tnimeu.
it a case that settled the a n5. ,,,, -
1.1,-ttoTECTINICS.
Although the number of fires from the explosion
of small pyrotechnics on the anniversary of Ameri
can Independence was large, the entire loss by
them all did not exceed $3,000. No alarm was al•
lowed to be given on that day and evening, for
any of these numerous little fires—a wise precau
tion adopted by your Honor, and which prevented
damage to the extent of thousands of dollars from
the reckless flooding of burning buildings, which is
so apt to occur when too many apparatus are drawn
to the scene of a are,
PERSONAL INJERIES
My records for the past year contain a long list
of yersonal injuries from fires and explosions.
They tell the sad story of one hundred and thirteen
persons injured, an unusually large proportion of
whom lost their lives. The most deplorable of
these accidents occurred at the Continental Theatre,
in Walnut pfrect, above Eighth, on the evening of
the 14th of September, by which sixteen young
females, of a ballet troupe, wore shockingly burned, -
nine of whom died, after enduring the most ago
nizing sufferings. Four of the deceased were sis
ters who supported a widowed mother. Truly a
tale of horror and woe !
REBEL INCENDIARIES
When the rebellion which unhappily afflicts our
country first broke out, last spring, and this City
was in estate of feverish excitement, various rumors
obtained currency of the designs of secret treasona
ble incendiaries. At an early hour on the 22d of
April a report prevailed that the Gray's Ferry
Bridge had. been set on fire in the course of the pre
ceding night. This caused, as it was well calcula
ted to do at such a time, quite a sensation. A
prompt investigation proved that there wits na real
foundation whatever fur the report, and the peal°
mind was at once quieted in relation to the stories
of intended bridge-burning.
Subsequently, at different times, during the sum
mer and fall, reports were rife of rebel incendiaries
being actually at work applying the torch, in con
sequence of the burning •of a number of manu
facturing establishments, where they were doing
army work or filling other orders for the United
States Government. The causes of all these fires
were investigated by me with great pains, and it is
a source of peculiar gratification to be able to say
that not a tittle of evidence could be disc overed to
prove that any single one of them owed its origin to
design. On the contrary, the testimony showed, to
my complete satisfaction, that the whole of them
were accidental, resulting, in most inatanous, from
negligence and carelessness, nearly always incident
to unusual and hurried mechanical operations, par
ticularly with strange and raw hands.
FIRES•FROM COAL OIL
The frequent burning of coal oil refineries has
induced underwriters to shun them as so many gun
powder magazines. Such is the constant liability
of these places to accident by fire, their destruction
is believed to be only a question of time. As they
continually jeopardize surrounding properties, be.
sides being a nuisance to any densely-populated
neighborhood in which they may be located, I
would most respectfully suggest whether it would
not be a measure of wise prudence on the part of
our municipal legislators to prohibit them from
being carried on in the thickly-built portions of the
city. It seems to me that, 9011312 such action as this
at the bands of Councils is demanded by a
proper regard alike for the safety and health of the
citizen.
Petroleum, in its crude state, contains a highly
volatile and inflammable material, called benzine.
This ethereal substance is separated by distillation,
and its vapor, mingling with common air, forms an
exceedingly explosive compound. Hence the re
fining process is always hazardous. The atmos
phere of the refinery being charged with benzine
gas, let combustion ensue from any cause, and the
establishment can scarcely escape damage or de
molishment; while the operatives who may chance
to be near the stills are fortunate if they are not
killed by the explosion of gaseous matter or dis
figured tor life by the flames.
The production of coal oil in Pennsylvania has
already become a business of vast extent, and its
future magnitude, as an element of the wealth of
our singularly favored Commonwealth, cannot be
calculated. Philadelphia is the natural port for
the outlet of this new article of commerce, and it
is both her interest and duty to encourage and
foster the trade. Yet, while inviting and sustain
ing the golden traffic, our city ought not to forget
thatthis commodity, from its peculiar nature, is not
entirely free from risks and dangers. Far he it
from me to utter a word that might be construed
as antagonistic to this recently discovered source of
gain, so rich in its rewards for the labor and en
terprise of the industrious and thrifty people of
our State; Mill. I would fail in my duty as a faith
ful officer, did I not direct notice to the hazards of
the business.
EME:2O33
Crude petroleum is very inflammable, and when
stored in large quantities is, at all times, =safe.
In the event of fire from any cause, properties ad
jacent to a warehouse or other building containing
it, could scarcely escape falling a prey to the ra
vages of the conflagration it would create. Its
storage, therefore, in my judgment, should not be
permitted in compactly-built localities. Provision
might be made for warehousing it in isolated places
in the suburbs, convenient to the railroads enter
ing the city, and of easy communication with the
commercial centre ; and I respectfully recommend
the adoption of some such measure as this.
Refined coal oil, if properly distilled, is not in
flammable, and, of course, comparatively safe; but
as the cupidity of manufacturers has induced the
throwing into the market of an immense amount of
it in an impure state, I think its storage should also
be Subject to certain restrictions, similar to those
which I have recommended in relation to the crude
article.
ma=
Kerosene is fast taking the place of camphene
and other burning fluids as a light. There is great
confidence reposed in it, from a prevalent belief
that it is the safest of all the burning fluids, being
generally considered exempt from the chances of
explosion. This confidence would not be misplaced
if the distillers of it would always extract the
whole of the benzine, which is the explosive consti
tuent, from the oil. As many of the manufacturers,
tempted by the prospect of increased gains, do not
do this, every consumer of the fluid runs a greater
or less risk in its use, unless fortunate enough to se
cure the pure oil. It is likewise known that some
of the distillers of burning fluid have been using,
in its manufacture, benzine, as a substitute for tur
pentine, the Southern blockade having caused the
latter article to be high, while the former is cheap.
Fluid thus adulterated is terribly explosive. In
view of these frauds, which are criminal, and some
times even murderous in their consequences, &sense
of duty impels me to give timely warning to every
body to be cautious in their purchases of Kerosene
and burning fluid, and likewise to urge, with great
deference, the passage, by the Legislature, of severe
legal enactments against adulterations of these
materials.
=EI
Benzine has lately been the cause of at least a
score of fires in this city. Its general substitution
for turpentine in paints, varnishes, and other pre
parations in various manufacturing and mechani
cal arts, its tendency to assume the gaseous form,
and the carelessness that too frequently attends its
employment, will most likely continue to add to the
list of such mishaps. Underwriters are now fully
aware of the increased risk to which it subjects
every building wherein it is used.
The number of parties arrested on the charge of
arson and suspicion of arson. during the year, was
37. Whole number of convictions for arson, since
the organization of the Fire Detective Police—now
a period of four years and seven montbs-51.
EFFICIENCY OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
I cannot close this report without bearing testi
mony to the activity and efficiency of the Police De
partment in discovering and extinguishing fires, and
promptly giving alarms. Their duties, at many of
the fires of the past year, were arduous and exhaust
ing ; but they . invariably performed them - with
alacrity and patient endurance. Whenever t have
demanded their services, they have not only been
prompt, but have exhibited an ardor and devotion
that have won my warmest gratitude.
To the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department,
David M. Lyle, Esq., his active assistants, and his
gentlemanly clerk, T. Weal Blake, Esq., I am
much indebted for valuable assistance and many
plessant.courtesies. In the course of the year, Mr.
Lyle has accomplished some most desirable reforms,
and it affords me great pleasure to bear testimony
to his watchful and constant efforts to prevent the
reckless use of water at fires, and to cheek all law
lessness, of which,.l am truly happy to slate, the
department is now almost wholly exempt.
The advantage of steam, in ibe extinguishment
of fires cannot be too highly estimated. Your
Honor, to my knowledge, has been an eye witness
of the power of this great agency at some of the
most threatening of our recent conflagrations, and
I need not address you further upon this subject.
The Fire Department of Philadelphia is not yet
free from evils; but, with all its faults, you will
pardon my enthusiasm if I cannot refrain from
adding, in conclusion, that every year's experience
compels me to acknowledge that, in watchfulness,
alertness, and heroic deeds, it is excelled by no fire
department in the world.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
ALEX. W. BLACKBURN, Fire Marshal.
Condition of the Army Hospitals in Mis-
A correspondent of the St. Louis Re2neblican,
who has visited the army hospitals in Missouri, de
scribes the condition of the sick soldiers. We make
the following extracts :
" I have visited tho hospitals in the city of St.
Louis and vicinity, in which great numbers of the
lowa volunteers are carefully nursed and provided
for, and receiving from the presidents of the Pacific
.Railroad a pass to Sedalia and return, I have visited
the camps and hospitals of that place, and Ottervillo
and vicinity, and submit some facts which may be
interesting to the friends of humanity, and not de
trimental to the cause in which all our sympathies
are enlisted.
"Of the more than comfortable and almost
sumptuous condition of the sick in the large, well-
furnished and well-regulated hospitals in St.
Louis, to those who visit them and read the regu
lar reports of the praiseworthy exertions of the
sanitary commission,
I need not speak. Every
room and every bed indicates neatness and com
fort ; and in the saddest look of the sick soldier,
away from home, I see a ray of hops, aglow of
grateful recognition of the cutside benevolence of
the country that more than supplies every want,
and anticipates every privation of war; and the
nursing care of women is often repaid with the
tear of a soldier's gratitude. Here all his wants
are supplied; he is nursed in sickness; consoled
in death; decently interred; and the place of his
long home is carefully indicated to his relatives
and a grateful country.

" The first hoepital on the Pacific E,ailroad visited
by me was that of the Eighth lowa, at Sedalia. I

march, under General Fremont, to Springfield and

old building, about two miles from the town, which
had neither window, door, nor stove. In no bunk
did I see the luxury of a sheet or pillow-case, but
the army blanket and overcoat usually served for
covering the sick soldiers, and his knapsack pd
lowed his weary head. Their bread—the staff . of
life, especially to a sick man—they bought and
paid for out of their own scanty purses, and there
was an entire absence of woman's nursing care,
and of those comferts and delicacies which sick
men know how to appreciate, and which these sick
soldiers had been accustomed to at home—which
they had left, some of them forever, at their coun
try's cull."
Song of our Flag
BY REV. R. HARRAITGR, D. D.
Ant :—The Bells of Slumdon
With deep affection,
And recollection,
I often think of
Our glorious Flag,
Whose folds so wild would
In days of childhood
Fling o'er my fancy
Their majestio spells.
See our flag, yonder !
On that I ponder,
And still grow fonder,
Proud flag of thee,
Thy bright stars gleaming,
Thy broad stripes streaming,
In all my dreaming,
I seem to see.
I've seen ovations,
And jubilations,
To flags of nations,
In every clime,
But the wild roaring
'Of their adoring,
To me imploring,
Had nought sublime.
For memory dwelling,
On thy proud swelling,
With sweeter telling,
Still spoke of thee—
Thy bright stars gleaming,
Thy broad stripes streaming
In all my dreaming,
I seemed to see.
I've seen flags glorious
Borne back victorious
From fields notorious
For bbsod and strife;
For whose maintaining,
The brave, disdaining
Dread missiles raining,
save up their life.
Of these flags gory
I've heard the glory,
In song and story,
Told tenderly;
But thy stare gleaming,
Thy broad stripes streaming,
In all my dreaming
I ever see.
Devices olden,
With triinminge golden,
Seem to embolden
The claims of these;
Such empty tender,
Of royal splendor,
I all surrender,
With greatest ease.
See our flag yonder,—
On that I ponder,
And still grow fonder,
Dear flag, of thee; .
Thy bright stars gleaming,
Thy bread stripes streaming,
In all my, dreaming
I ever see.
Flag of our nation,
The best oblation
Of adoration
I offer thee.
Tyrant and tory,
Have learned thy story—
The tale of glory,
And Liberty!
And children wondering,
And heroes pondering,
And cannon thundering,
Shall honor thee!
Thy bright stars gleaming,
Thy broad stripes streaming
In all my dreaming
I ever see.

In former yf are, one of our eitizen'i of the name
of John Payne, who in early life had been a labor
ing man, and always dressed indifferently, but who,
by industry and economy, bad acquired considera
ble property, was returning from market with a

beef as that?" The reply was : Yes, Ican.

now I can afford to eat the ribs." But said be,
raising his finger, 4, If thou began with the ribs,
tbou'lt have to go back to the shins; for every
man must eat up the whole beef."
The writer was reminded of the above circum
stance, recently, by an acquaintance tapping him
on the shoulder in the street, and nsking whether
he knew of a situation for his son, who had been in
the employ of a house that had recently failed.
lie stated that his son had been receiving fifteen
hundred dollars a year, but did not know that he
had saved anything.
There are many persons, clerks and others, even
with small families, who live reputably on six or
seven hundred dollars a year; but aliewiag even
eight hundred or a thousand dollars, there might
be from five to seven hundred dollars a year saved
out of the fifteen hundred, and placed at interest.
This in a few years would amount to sufficient to
commence business with on their own account.
"There is a tide iu the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune."
A competence, and sometimes the accumulation
of a large estate, has often been commenced by
small savings. Those who have nothing but their
own hands to depend upon, should therefore lay it
down as a rule to save something from every dol
lar they earn. If they cannot spare one-half, try
to save one-third, one-fourth, or one-fifth, or even
one-tenth ; but save something, however small, a
sacred reserve ae a fund to be placed at interest."
"Little and often rills the purse "
A calculation has recently been made, showing
that by the saving of only ten cents a day, and
placed at interest, it would amount in fifty years
to tin thousand lour hundred and fifty-two dollars.
flow inexcusable, then, is it fur a man knowing
these facts, and in limited circumatauues, to place
at risk the happiness of his family, when, with pro
per care, it might to a great extent be avoided.
" Malay begets 9noney," and the savings from
small earnings beget confidence, and often open
a door for advancement. It is not what a man
earns, but what ho saves, that constitutes his sue.

The Salt Question.
[For The Prose.]
The cry against ‘, Salting the Tracks" having in
duced those whose decisions alone can settle the
question, to consider its propriety, I am quite will
ing to believe that the matter is being properly at
tended to, and that every reliable and-intelligent
information necessary will be brought out.
But, Mr. Editor, do you not think that the pas
senger railway companies might, with great pro
priety, ask why those who have contracted to clean
the streets so utterly neglect their duties and so
materially interfere with the comfort and comae-.
nience of passengers, who desire to be taken up or
put out at their own homes ? From the condition of
the gutters, after a fall of snow, or during a thaw,
all access to a oar, or all means of crossing the street,
except at the corners, is almost impossible, in con
sequence of the Oohed and hooded state of the
gutters.
A few years ago it was usual, during the winter,
to see a number of men with pick-axes and shovels
breaking up the ice and snow, so as to let the water
run freely along to the drains. A return to the old
fashioned mode would relieve us of much discom
fort, and certainly add much to the health of the
city. AN OLD. RESIDENT.
