Interesting Fire Statistics.—On the
Ist of June, 1863, Fire Marshal Blackburn entered
Upon the seventh year of his official career, as in
vestigator of Area in Philadelphia. He famishes us
with the following interesting , statistics, which he
Jbas carefully compiled from hia records:
The whole number of fires, including most
trivial as well as the most disastrous, that occurred
in the consolidated city,'from June 1, 1857, to June
1, 1863, a period of six years, was 2,o64—making the
annual average 344.
The number of alarms from burning and smoking
chimneys, lamp explosions, bonfires, brick and lime
Jcilns, bursting of steam-boilerß, blazing of the cu
polas of rolling mills, rekindling of the ruins of
/jflres, burning of shavings, brush, leaves.: grass,
straw, and rubbish, lights from fires beyond the city
limits, illuminations of the sky from natural pheno
mena, tampering with telegraph boxes, and from all
other causes whatsoever, was 1,062; and the number
■ of false alarms, 271, -
For these fires and alarms the State House bell
struck 947 times, and rang 19 general alarms, All
■she other alarms were local. . ■•
Tbs total amount of lobb by fire was s2yiBi 730 *, of
Which sum $740,557 waß on real estate, and $1,444,-
373 on personal property. The total amount of in
surance was $1,476,845; of Which $468,897 was on
real estate, and $1,007,948 on personal effects. The
clear .lobb, or lobb over insurance, was therefore
5fe271.660 on real, and $436,225 on personal property,
Seing a total of $707,885.
The above figures Bhow that the loales annually,
in Philadelphia, for six years, by fires, have ave
raged about $365,000. ,
The whole number of properties of every descrip
tion destroyed or damaged was 3,618—a large majo
rity of which were only slightly injured.
These properties comprise a listof upwards of one
hundred ana twenty classifications. Under the head
of are embraced every thing not

.Every'one. who takes an interest in fire statistics,
Will be curious to examine this list, and undertvri
tersmay find it a valuable guide.
The whole number of persons arrested,' in the
course of the six years, by the police, under the di
rection of the Fire Marshal, who were charged '
With or suspected of incendiarism, was 463. The
Slumber upon whom the offence of arson was suc
cessfully proven, was 78. More than two-thirds of
the detected parties were under twenty-one years of
age, and a number of them were mere children.
The oldest person arrested was 72, and the oldest
one convicted waß 63. The highest sentence passed
by the Criminal Court, waß ten years at hard labor.
Two men are now serving out this, term in: the
Eastern Penitentiary. Nothing haß ever tran
spired to show that a solitary party was innocently
convicted, while most of the convict's, either prior
or subsequent to conviction, confessed their crimes.
All good citizens are peculiarly interested in this
portion of the Fire Marshal’s record. • *"
What a graphic hook an account of each one of
the 2,o64.fires investigated in six years .by the Fire
Marshal, would have made! Some were extraor
dinary and some amusing; others touching; many
serious 5 not a few heartrending; while occasionally
there was one terrible and calamitous. All the facts
connected with some of the incendiary fires particu- -
larly, with full details of the detection and convic
tion of the incendiaries, would have formed chapters
of local history of the deepest interest. .
The amount of labor, both mental and physical;
Which these fire investigations, especially the arson
. cases,-have demanded, has been immense, and much
*ofit of the most harassing and exhausting nature.
' Yet, during the whole six years, the .Fire Marshal
has never, taken a single day’s relaxation, and he
atarts upon his seventh official year with more pro
fessional enthusiasm than when he commenced his
duties on the first day of his appointment.

A Protest from Mr. Catfierwood.
Mr. Catherwood presented a protest against the
action of the Chamber on Tuesday last in electing
directors of the Girard College, on the ground
that it was in violation of the ordinance of 1847, and
asked that it be entered upon the journal. ■ Mr. G.
said that the ordinance regulating elections states
that it shall be done at a stated meeting in June, and
■he contended that the meeting of Tuesday was not
a stated meeting. He intended to have the opinion
Of the Supreme Court upon the subject.
The Chair said that the gentleman' had a right to
present his protest, And, unless the Chamber re
fuses to receive it, it must go upon the journal.
Mr. Brightly asked for the yeas and nave upon
the receipt of the protest.
The Chair replied that it was not necessary.
Mr. Brightly .aid that It had heretofore ruled
bo here, and read from the : journal, when the yeas
and nayß were called-upon a protest signed by him
selfand the Democratic members. ;
The Chair.said that that was upon a motion to
refuse to receive the protest, and reiterated his for
mer statement in regard to the right to enter a pro
test upon thejournal.
_Mr. BRiG HT LY accused Mr. Catherwood of quib-
S l l2 6 * A? adjourned' meeting was a continuation of
thestated meeting.” The difficulty was thatthere
were three parties, of which Mr. Catherwood was a
2S«!?* ° f - T, thir i par J?* He was not present,
and that might have been his fault or his misfortune;
As it was, the majority elected two members and
the minority one. If Mr. Catherwood had been pre
sent he been successful. It may have
b that T-L-Bradford, whose election
was defeated a year before on account of his seces
sion proclivities, might have been acceptable to the
Republican members now I < • •
Mr. Catherwood retorted that he desired to fol
low the strict letter of the law. As to the secession
proclivities.of any gentleman, he had nothing to
say- Bradford was no particular friend of his ;
but Ido say, inasmuch as names have been intro
duced, that Mr. Bradford is no more a Secessionist
than Daniel M. Fox.”
Mr. King objected to the receipt, of the protest.
He contended that it were competent for the Cham
ber to elect on Tuesday, and said that the matter had
been fully discussed on that day.
Mr. Kambrly also spoke in opposition to receiv
ing the protest.
Mr. Catherwood—l desire to ask you a question,
Mr. President. Did you not decide that the protest
is to be entered upon the journal!' ‘
The President—l directed the Clerk to enter the
protest upon the journal.
Mr. Catherwood—Well, that is disposed of/
and I insist that the yeas and nays shall not be
called; *
Mr; Kambrly—l objeot.
Mr. Davis—l rise to a point of order. There is
nothing before the house, and therefore the gentle
man is talking about nothing.
The President, however, permitted Mr.Kamerly
to go on.
Mr. Kamerly argued that heretofore these pro
tests have been acted upon, and he did not see why
this one should not come fairly and squarely before
the Chamber. .
A motion was made to refuse to receive the pro
test. "Upon this the yeas and nays were taken.
The Democrats refused to vote, except Mr. Oather
wood. The yeas were none, and the nays 11, No
quorum. - ; , , . ; -
A call of the house was made. Again the Demo
crati iefuied to answer, except Mr. Catherwood,
and there was no quorum present.-
The Chamber then adjourned.
COMMON BRANCH.
The Council was called to order at half-past three
o’clock, by Wilson Kerr, president.-
C ommimicati on s •
An invitation was received from the Faoutty of
the University, asking Council to be present at the
conferring of degrees. . -
The annual report of the Board of Directors of the
Girard College was presented, setting forth the
operations oithe College during the year.
Also, a communication from the trustees of the
ice boat, asking authority to put the boat in condi
tion to defend the. harbor in case of need. Referred
to Committee on Defence,
Reports of Committees.
Mi. Batjghlin (Fire) reported a bill making ap
propriation to a portion of the Fire Department.
The ordinance passed without opposition.
The same gentleman reported a bill locating the
Globe and West Philadelphia as steam fire engine
companies. Adopted without opposition.
The same gentleman reported a resolution striking
the Vigilant Hose Company from the list of the
companies comprising the Fire Department, the
said company not having been in service for a year
past. Agreed to without debate.
[Note —Nearly all the members of this company
enlisted in the army early in the rebellion.]
Mr. Q,uin (Surveys) reported a bill appropriating
the sum of $BOO to pay the expenses of constructing
a small culvert in the Fourteenth ward. Agreed to.
Fainllles-of Volunteers.
Mr. Barger presented a communication from the
commissioner appointed to disburse the funds among
the families of the volunteers, setting forth that nu
merous applications have been made to the commis
sioner by the families of those soldiers who have en
listed under the last call, for whom there is no ap
propriation. Baid on the table for the present.
' To Stimulate Enlistments.
Mr. Wolbbet in place offered a bill appropriating
the sum of $600,000, to be created by loan; the sum
of $5O, under certain contingencies, to be given to
each volunteer enlisting.
Mr. Obbsswell moved to amend by. inserting
$5O for those enlisting for six months, and $25 for
those enlisting for three months.
Mr. Painter said this bill is not in accordance
with a resolution of Council. The subject was re
ferred to a committee to report. He therefore moved
to lay the subject on the table, until the committee
shall report. •
. The motion to lay on the table was lost.
Mr. Leigh suggested that Mr. Cresawell should
withdraw his amendment, as its passage would con
flict with action already taken by ( this Council.
Mr. Painter said this ordinance is a subterfuge,
because we have already passed a resolution appro
priating the sum of $5O to each soldier enlisting;
and ord_ered a committee to report an ordinance to
this effect. The ordinance before us says that the
amount shali be made up by the city to the ‘ sum. of
$6O, thus only appropriating the sum necessary be
tween the amounts that, may be given by other
parties, and the sum total to be given by us..
Mr. Harper to some , extent, with the re
marks of Mr. Painter. 1 He thought we certainly
should await the action of the committee to which
we; have referred the subject. But if the gentleman
from the Sixth ward-(Mr. Wolbert) intends to give
the volunteers $5O each, independent of the amount
to be appropriated by the ordinance of the committee
ordered to be reported by this Council, then the
subject assumes a different shape. If this is in
tended, he would vote for it; he was in favor of giv
ing $lOO to each man, if Council thought it neces
sary.
Mr, Wolbekt said the executive of the city was
in favor of this bill, and as it has been carefullypre
pared, it ought to pass.
Mr. Paul said: We have already referred the sub
ject to a committee; why not await their report 1
Mr, Painter said he understood that the chair
man of the Committee on Defence would not report l
this afternoon. This ordinance is therefore-before
us. Now what do we want with $500,0001 It is pro
bable, that from private parties, sums, which in the
aggregate will reach fifty dollars, will be subscribed.
Now let us pass the Dill giving the sum of fifty
dollary-from the city treasury, regardless of any
other bounty that may be offered. If we back down
from what we have forsehadowed, then some of our
companies will be abandoned at once. Governor
Curtin has told us that Philadelphia has
sponded as other parts of the State has done.
Don’t let us do anything to thwart the raising of
troops; .
Mr. .Cresswell withdrew his amendment.
An amendment was offered by modifying the bill
so bb to appropriate the sum of fifty doUars to each
volunteer enlisting.
The debate assumed a wide range, which, amid
the rolling of drums and the squeaking of fifes, and
other noise incident to the excitementon the Btreets
and in Independence Square, could not be distinctly
heard at the reporters’desks.
The bill was passed. The grain of wheat in it, is
the appropriating of the sum of fifty dollars to each
volunteer enlisting, regardless of all other bounties
'’that may be offered by private parties.
Mr. Taylor/(in place) submitted an ordinance,
making an appropriation of $1,090 to make up a ba
lance due for the grading of Green Btreet, and the
construction of two culverts in the Twenty-second
ward. Agreed to.
Thanks to Counsel.
Mr. Eckstein offered a resolution of thanks to
the counsel, F. Carroll Brewster, Esq., Ed. 01 in
stead, Esq., and Hon. Win. M. Meredith, for their
able advocacy :of the rights of the city and the or
phan in the* great case of The Heirs of the late
Stephen Girard versus The City.
Mr. Quin passed an excellent encomium upon the
ability of F. Carroll Brewster. He (Mr. Quin) knew
that Mr. B. had spent a very large amount of his
time in preparing his u paper-book.” He brought
his whole legal talent into requisition, and evinoed
the most-indomitable energy. .The argument ad
duced is such,as reflects credit upon his skill, and he
has been crowned with success. He is certainly en
titled to the thanks of thecity; yes, and the thanks
of the orphan.," v
Mr. Quin moved to amend by inserting the name
of David W«- Sellers Assistant City Solicitor.
Agreed to.. :wi
The':V gentleman from the Twenty-fourth ward ”
moved to amend by inserting the name of « Chief
Justice liOwrie,” and would like to havehis name
inserted before .those of the counsel. <
Mr. quiN said this thing smatters of flattery to
the Judge, who simply did .hia.sworn duty, and he
has merely decided what* is the law of the land, for
which he is not particularly entitled to thanks.
Mr. Q; was severe upon the “ gentleman from the
Twenty-fourth ward.” ■ ,
The debate became animated.
Mr. Leigh said that he thought, among other
things. that the “ gentleman from the Twenty-fourth
ward ” had reason to thank Justice Lowrie for his
scat in this Chamber; he cannot thank the people.
“Gentleman from Twenty-fourth ward,” arose,
and said he would pull the nose of the member from
the Seventh (Mr. Leigh).
President Kerr’s gavel came down rapidly, but
above the din of which the voice of the “ Gentleman
from : the r Twenty-fourth” ..was heard crying
“Loafer !” “here, or elsewhere!” &c., &c.
Mr. Painter arose, and was called to order be
cause of personal remark.
A. call was made for the previous question.
Mr. Painter complained of gag-law.
The call for,the previous question was not sus
tained.
Great confusion prevailed.
A motion was now made that the subject be post
poned, which resulted as follows—ayerio, nays 23.
On the amendment of returning thanks to Chief
Justice Lowrie the ayes.were 18, nays 15.
The question on the resolution as amended was
now taken—ayes 18, nays 2. No quorum voting.
On motion, Council adjourned. .

JTIItEL FIRE! FIKEI
Philadelphia, May 90, 1863.
M. <7. Sadler, Esq,, Agent for Lillie's Safes: ■
Dear Sir: During the night of May- 19, 1863. our Gro
cery and Provision i Store, at North Second and willow
streets, took flre at abouti2o’clock AM., and as-the l
store wasVa two-story it burnt rapidly,
and before the’flre-engines - could act upon the fire, our
whole stock of goods, including-much-combustible
toiiajj&nd amounting to over s2,ooo,'were wholly de
stroyed. , We had one of your. No. 11 Chilled Iron Safes,
'which was in the hottest part of-the fire; and'itcame out
of the fire not in the least injured, except the melting off
of the name,-plate and paint. The contents inside were
not affected in the least,.and we consider the Safe just as.
good a protection against fire now as: before, and shall
use it hereafter with increased confidence. The look
works as perfectly as before the fire. :.
Yours truly, , McMANUB * CROFT,
Late 499 North SECOND Street.
Attention to the above certificate is-particularly re
quested, as it isthe first trial of LILLIES SAFES m an
accidental fire in Philadelphia. • *
.1. would-say to all. parties who want a Fire and
Burglar-proof Safe-that: LILLIE’S .WROUGHT AND
CHILLED IRON SAFES are ..much the cheapest and the
only real Fire and Burglar-proof Safes now- made; and
to those who want simply a Fireproof, I ; would say that
LILLIE’S WROUGHT JtKON SAFE is fully equal in all
respects to any of the most-approved makers, and is
sold at folly one-third less price. ■ r ; '- .
I also am receiving daily in exchange for,'Lillie’s
Wrought and Chilled Iron Safes other Safes, and keep
constantly on hand a general assortment of HERRING’S,
EVANS * WATSON’S, and other makers, many of them
almost new, which I offer at, and even below, auction
prices. *
All parties interested are particularly requested to ex
amine the Safes above described at ray depot,

SARSAPARILLA.—No one remedy is more needed
in this country than a reliable Alterative, but the sick
have been so outrageously cheated by the worthless pre
parations of Sarsaparilla abroad that they are disgusted
even with the name. Yet the drug cannot be blamed foe
the impositions from which they have suffered. Most of
the so-rcalled. Sarsaparillas in the market contain little
of the virtues of Sarsaparilla or anything else. They
are mere slops—inert and worthless, while a concen
trated extract of the active variety of Sarsaparilla, com
pounded with Dock,' StiDingia, lodine, etc., is, as it ever
will he, a powerful alterative and an effectual remedy.
Such is Ayer’s Extract of Sarsaparilla, as its truly won
derful cures of the great variety of complaints which re
quire an alterative medicine have abundantly shown.
Do not, therefore, discard this invaluable medicine, be
cause you have been imposed upon by something pre
tending to.be Sarsaparilla, While it was not. When yoa
have used Ayer’s—thea, audnottill then, wiilyouknow
the virtues of Sarsaparilla. For-minute particulars of
the diseases it cures, we refer you to Ayer’s American
Almanac, .which the agent below named will furnish,
gratis to all wbo call for it.
