Blown, uiponer-Still riot .
To the Publisher of The Press: I notice an article In
vonr paper of the 10th. inst., headed. “Lillie's Patent
Safe Blown Open,” &c., and, as you bare pablished this
article, I wsk the same privilege to reply.
First. I will Bay to Evans & Watson that whenever
' they will .come out over their own signature, and state
that they or their agent can drill any of Lillie’s Safes in
any way practical for a burglar, and will back up their
statement with any respectable sum, in case of failure, I
am ready and willing to meet them with like sum in
case of success, with the single condition, that if suc
cessful the same amount shall db pledged by both par
ties, that if I drill, or causa to be drilled, one of their
Safes of similar cost and size, in one-half the time, the
forfeiture is mine; if not, theirs.
Second. Whenever they are ready to take aay bank or*
mercantile Safe they now have in use, and pat the same
against one of mine of similar coit and size now in use,
and submit them to any practical burglar test, I will
give them one-third advantage in time, each pirty
pledging a respectable snm, to be forfeited by the party
unsuccessful. As to fire, they may select any of my
medium-size Fire and BurgUr Proof Safe* sold in Phila
delphia within the last three years, and I will select one
of their Safes of similar size and cost, sold within the
same time and they shall be put in a furnace together,
and fairly tested upon the same terms as heretofore men
tioned. As to an investigation of the Troy fire, if they
will allow Mayor Henry to appoint a committee to visit
Tioy and make a report as to how my Safes stood that
fire, I will pay their expenses, provided they will pub
lish their report in two of the leading papers in Phila
delphia, one month, at their expense.
, I make these offers, gentlemen, that you may have the
opportunity to place your Safes fairly before the public,
in contrast with, the “New York Ilumbugs,” thereby
saving the necessity of publishing vague iauendoes, in
ferences without any foundation in fact, and statements
utterly untrue. . M
And now, with a few questions, ram done; -
. When Pennock & Go ’s Safe, of your make, costing
s£oo, was broken open at Wilmington., Del,with an old
axe and small bar. and $1,600 taken - ,and you gave them,
in place, a large Bank Safe, how was that affair settled?-
mat did you give besides ?. _„r’Al[entbwn, and
When your Safe was .. . .
broken open by a hammer
'ana Bar* at Mount Joy* and robbed of SttO. how did yon
fix up that matter with Mr. John Patterson, the owner)?
When the Beading Railroad lost near $ll,OOO from one
of your Safes.it being left alone for about a half hour,
before nine o’clock P. M. , with both keys in possession
of Mr, Potts, the principal, who was away, what re
dress did von make ? And how have you arranged with
Judgo Jordan, of Sunhury, who was robbed a few days
since of $1,200. by having forty to fifty holes drilled in
one of your Safes, in front of the lock, the sted Plata
broken, and the lock laid bare,besides many oHTer cates
that might be enumerated? , , . _ • '• ,
As to the Lock Haven fire, why did you first publish
Mr. Emery’s (the son-in-law of Mr. Evans) letter, say
ing that he forwarded one of your certificates, and ex
pected two more the next day? If obtained, why were
they not published? Was not tlis Safe for which you
got this certificate on the walk or street, and not in any
~of your three safes?, and was not another of the three so
badly damaged tlie certificate could not be obtained?
Gentlemen, the noble precept presented the publi
cans and iinners in aiioient times—' Let him that is
not guilty cait the first stone,” is a rule quiteappiica-
Kle. I thijrk. in this ease, ana equally so is the latter
Baying—“ Those who live in glass houses shoulu not
