By order of the Committee for Recruiting Colored
TO MERCHANTS,
‘ MANUF ACT JEERS, BANKSBS.
AND ALL OTHERS REQUiRIKO SECURITY FROM
: FIRE AND'TSIEVES.
In the daily papers of this, city, as well as in other
• public' journals, M. G. Sadler, who is Agent for the sale
Of Lewis Lillie’s 30-callecl Fire and Burglar-Proof Safes,
published an article calling the attention of the public to
* thejaperior qualities of the said Fire and Burglar-PiOOf
Sftfeß, and. at .the same time ondpavoring to underrate
the qualities of those made by Philadelphia makers.
We do not objecitofkir and manly competition in trade, '
J nor do we fear the ultimate result of any coarse that Mr.
r Sadier or his principal may adopt;but we wish to call
; the attention of the public to the real facts of the case,
and shall endeavor to expose the misrepresentations con*
Gained in the article so published, and offer to Mr. Lillie a
fair ‘Opportunity td satisfy the public as to the real value
bf-hia article compared with those of other makers. ' .
, In*tha articles so published he says that hts"Safea are
the M only really and thoroughly Fire and Burglar Proof
Safes made and sold at fully one* third leas price;” and
~he also says have .just, received four of Ryaua '&
Burglar Proof Safes from the City Bauk, la
exchange for Lillie's, which I will sell at very low
.prices.
* What we complain of lu the above is hot the puffins,
Whether true or false, of his own .wares, buthiseudea-
Ivor to misrepresent and depreciate ours. As to the four
-ISafea he speaks of, they were never sold or represented
burglar proof, but were, when sold to the City Bank,
old fire-proof chests, made nearly-twenty years ago,
having been need by the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ B*nk
for a considerable time before the City Bank bought
them. For the truth of fhis statement we refer to ihe offi
cers of the bank, as well as the bill furnished them at
the time of.putchaee. We do not believe anvSafe can
te.nude entirely burglar proof. and have never so as*
Sorted, as we are satisfied thkt there can be no Safe
taffide so stress but that & good mechanic, with plenty of
" time and proper tools, can opes or destroy it. But we do
Aesext that the Safes made by us as burglar proof are
white as good, If not better, than Lillie's, and as to fire
proof, incontestably better, . _
Now, for the proofs.
First. Are his Safes burglar proof?
Knoxville (Illinois).—Lillie's Safe,- in the hahmsn--
houfee ol fcmilh. & HaU, opened apparentlv with a ham
mer and ohifel, and robbed of between $4,000 and $5, GOO.
(Wisconsin).—Lillie’s Safe*.in .the bank of
Gibson A Henning, was blown_op»a with gaapjwder.
•’ and Se.COO in money, besides sl,9ooin city orders and
other valuable papers, Btolen. This was (me of his pre
mium guaranteed burglar-proof Bans Safes.
-Medina (N. Y ) Liliie’sßankSafn in the Medina Bank
Was blown open with gunpowder, but the burglars were
disturbed and did not succeed, in robbing the bank,
though the safe was destroyed.
. Rochester (N. Y.)—The lock of one of Lillie’s Safes
getting but of order in me of the city banks, it was drilled
and opened with an ordinary blacksmiih’s drill ia about
thiity minutes. 1
St. Louis (Missouri) —Lillie’s Safe In the store of. Ra
gan A Ogden was broken with an ordinary hammer with
out difficulty.
Chicago.—One of Mr. Lillie’s Burglar-proof Safes was
opened by John Sear, machinist, in about ten minutes,
With a common hand-drill and eev«a-pouad stelae
Boghbstbr (NY,)—One of Mr Lille’s Mammoth Bank
Safes, purchased by T. H. Rochester, Esq., President of
the Rochester City Bank, of Mr. Lillie himself, with a
Written statement of its burglar-proof qualities, was
forced open by an ordinary mechanic, in about twenty
minutes, in tbepresenceof the Dank officers.
NbwHavf.it (Connecticut),—One of biliie’B Safes was
-- tested, at the request of Mr. Sadler, agent for Lillie, in
the presence of a number of respectab.e citizens, in the
office of Samuel S. Cummings, and was drilled through
with a three-quarter-inch cast-steeiidriU,. without sharp
ening, in twenty mint teß. the drill bein g worked by hand.
/ Ole an (New York )—At the banking-house of stuweil,
Chamberlain A Co., by agreement, a sum of money was
gl&ced in one of Lillie’s Patent Chilled iron Fire and
Burglar-proof Safes, represented to be proof against
Pledges* drills, and chisels, containing ail the latest im
proven: cute, tie money to b 8 the property of the persoa
undertaking to open it,he p'acing in it the amount of
the original price oftue Safes, to be the property of
Chamberlain A Co. , if the Safe wasuot broken
open and the money taken in one hour In thirty-sevon
minutes the fcufe was broken open, and the money taken
bythe operator.
r WiLKssnAuiut (Penna). —The Burglar-Proof Safe of
Lillie's make, in the banking house of W. Q. Sterling,
' was - blown open with powder, introduced through a
hole drilled through the chilled iron, and robbed of a
large amount of money. •In speaking of ibis, Mr. Sadler
says, in his article of the 18(h, after-admitting the facts
above seated, that it was the first successful drilling of-
Lillie’s Chilled-Iron Safes. A reference to me few cases
Which have come to our knowledge, as contalaedin the
statements above, will show how raucn hlB word can be
yelled upon.
* Still another.—While writing this, a letter from a
Respectable merchant in Yardlev ville has been handed
ine, by which I learn that one of Lillie’s Burglar-Proof
Safes, belonging to John Yard ley, coal and lumber mer
chant of that place, has just been blown open with
Scwder Th« powder was introduced through a hole
drilled through the chilled iron With a quarter-inch
drill. The iron was about one and a half inenes thick,
hud beth hinges were broken by the shock.
Eo much for the thoroughly burglar-proof qualities of
Lillie’s GnUted-Iron Safes, settled, not by assertion, bat
to stubborn facte,
' Now.for the Fire-proof; Inthiß connection we would
Siy that ther9 have been few fires in Philadelphia or Its
vicinity in which these Safes have been tested, but we
Will refer to a few instances that hivs come to our know
ledge in o'her places, and the notice of a certificate of a
„ Safe in the store of McManus A Croft, published by Mr,
Sadler.
Hannibal (Mo )—Messrs. Hawes A Armstrong pur
chased ciiu of Lillie’s Safes, guaranteed fire and burglar*
.proof Their store was burned, and the entice contents
of the Safe utterly destroyed. Mr.LiDie offered to re
place the Sate, with another of higher price, but they de
clined, ae the trial they had had satisfied them.
St Johns (Michigan).— One .of Lillie’s Safes, owned
by John Hicks. was situated in a frame building which
.was burned down- In about three hours the whole con
tents ot.tbe Bafewere destroyed.
•' Pautesvjlle brisk store ofJ S.
Matthews, was deitroyed by,fire, and the contents of one
-of LilLie'eSafea entirely consumed,
. Cape Mat.— illie’s Safe in the Mount Vernon Hotel
Was, with its contents, destroyed by the fire.
-1 Crystal Palace.—Lillie's Safe, made for the test,
Seven inches thick, was tested In the fire, and the whole
■ contacts dettiojedi
t Danviilb —in one of Lille’s Safes a small quantity of
money, intentionally left in the Sale ib teat it,’ was
melted.
Tp.ov. — r >ue of Lillie’s Faros, in the store of Messrs.
■Warner, was destroyed by the fire. The contents had
been fortunately removed.
We might publish a large number of certificates as to
the burning of hLs Safe*,.but we think the above are
sufficient. After saying a word as to the Safe that pre
served the books in Second street, in the store of Mo Manus
-St Croft, we shall cease. The building was a small frame
building, end the floor on which ths Safe stood still re
mains. Bcatcely scorched, so that the papers would have
. b«en Hale if pieced in a sheet-iron alr-tigbt stove.
•* ‘ Now, to lling this matter to a practical test, we make
the following offer: „ ••• '
. .WewiUpbice one of our Safes, which we sold iaISSG,
' for two huntbed dollars, tp Sdw&rd flteaill. bookoind
#r, and which we now have on h»nd, having replaced
nby a large ooe, in a suitable fam tee, with one of
' lillUe’s Safes, tone selected by h'm out of any sold for
that price in Philadelphia withiu seven jears;and sub-
Jet. them to the action of a fire made out of oak, pine, or
Ickory wood, until the contents of them shall he de
royed ; the patty the contents of Safe is ‘destroyed
• lol’payall expanses, and the other pany.to havebo'.h
Safes; the fixe to be made and trial conducted ia the pre
sence of a t ommlttee of five, two to be choeeu by each
-and the fifth by the other four. .We will go rtill further.
Mr. fr'adler sola lu June, 1860. to Weaver, Filler.. A Co ,
a Safe of the s4£o size, warranted to stand any fire that
could cccter in their building, which would be one of the
hottest that coaid .be made, their business being ship
chandlciy. Now,we will allow him toplace that Safe
againtt ours, which is only about half she size, and will
waive all disputes as to the fairness of the trial of the
alae»; aUhcugh the difference is at least fifty percent, in
his favor.
■ - The Safe selected by us has already been through a fire
in the Girard buildings, fell through the floor from the
Jburth to the third story, and hue never been repaired
since the fire, so that Mr. Lillie has the advantage of one
fire against, two, as no Safe can pads through a heavy firo
without some damage. ■The following certificate refers
to this ttafe:

JiHOi REPOSITORY FOR 1864
Seventy* First Volume.
THE FRANKLIN. REPOSITORY will commence Its
seventy-first volume withthenew year.more widely and
more liberally suppoi ted, than any other journal ia tho
State out of the leading Otties. It is the largest Unioa
newspaper in Pennsylvania, and is unrivalled by any
other rural journal in its lavish expenditures for reliable
Correspondence, Editorial, and other Contributions, Tele
graphing, and everything neceseary to make a complete
General and Local Newspaper.
- THE REPOSITORY gives a cordial and earnest support
to the Administration of President Lincoln and Governor
Curtin; to the policy of a vigorous prosecution of the
\rar; to the Unconditional Reuhion of the United States
without compromise with murderous traitors; to the
policy that, exhausts .every means within the power of
the Government to suppress the Rebellion of Treason and
Slavery; to the cause of our brave Soldiers in the field;
to the preservation in unclouded honor, of the sacred
memory of our heroic martyred dead.
THE REPOSITORY sustains the Administration and
the Wailb*cause it has abiding faith in the sucoesiful
issue of this great struggle, by which mad ambition and
unholy thiist for power have made a nation mourn. It
advocates war as the surest, the spcßdiest— indeed the
only road to lasting and honorable Peace; the only hope
of a preserved Nationality; and it will s:eadllv appeal to
the People to sustain the constituted authorities ia every
measure designed to give success to our arms and victory
tojhecauee of't>o Union/
TBE REPOSITORY seeks no patronage as a matter of
favor. „ It aims to render she folleet possible return to its
patrons, and it amplyremunerates them for the outlay of
> its subscription price , To such as believe the Repository
right in la Faithfulbhtever Independent support of the Go
vernment. we can with confidence appeal for sympathy
and [positive aid in extending our already immense cir
culation.
Business Men of all classes will find the Repository the
best Advertising medium in the State onto! the cities.
We believe that no country journal reaches so large a
class of intelligent, progressive, thrifty men as does the
Repository, and it is invaluable to advertisers.
THE REPOSITORY is furnished to subscribers at $2
per annum in advance; or $2.50 if not paid within the year,
All iubscription.accounts must.he settled annually.
No paper sent out of the State ualess paid-for in advance.
Subscriptions and advertisements may be seat directly
to Hie publishers, or through anv responsible cl w agency.

“ In another age, this Schiller will stand forth in the
foremost rank among the master-spirits of his century,
and be admitted to a place among the chosen of all cen

was, will arise alar off like a towering landmark li the
solitude or the Past, when distance shall have dwarfed
into invisibility the lesser people that encompassed him,

■Sta LILLIE’S SAFES AFTER- TSE
UgSr GUEEIEI.AS. —I believe it is a fact well- settled
tiiat, for 5 ears past, tire more barbarous aid waakwr na-.
tions, whan contending with the more Cioilized. and
stronger, hive adopted as a general rale,what is termed
the guerilla system of warfare, and have fought stealth
ily aid in ambmh, lnttead of fairly and manfully la
the open field; and at the pre»ent time the Southern
rebels «em to have adopted this system largely in their
contest with a superior force, and some ■ of the Northern
besiness men seem to find its adoption Quite convenient.
When ihis guerilla attack was commenced list week
upon liilililß’S SAFE, I offered the attacking party fair
play in the open field, giving great advantages. Was
this offer accepted r Not at all. Did they *ay your offers
wore fair, ana they would accept ? or that they were
unfair, and that they would accept if fair'/ Not at all.
But they ajaia play the guerilla, ‘ dodge the
pit,” and simply say you cried fire!- fire!- fire! 8-ma
time ago, when, as they allege, there was not much
fire after all. (Fee "The Press” of December
16th and 17th.) Well, really, their position, reminds
one strongly of th*t of the weaker of the two boys
Wh*n they got in a quarrel. The weaker boy, having
•ommtnced the attack, soon found he had got more than,
he bad bargain* d for, .played the guerilla, and. beat ..a
hasty retreat; butas sron as he got at a safe distance he
tomed round to the stronger boy, (looking daggers,)and
said, 4 Well, if I can’t tick you, I can make raws at
your sister.l am not sure but the boy that ran acted*
wbely. „But to return to this serious charge aboat cry-
Sn f have no doubt of the truth of Messrs McManus 2c.
C;ofts’statements that they had lost their entire stock,
and that they obtained their insurance upon it;, that the
fire took sad burned as they represented;, that the name,
pia e. and paint uu-lted off the safe. «c. It is also trae
that the fire took in the centre, and burned towards, the
rear: that in consequence of tlie fire, tbe’secoud floor
fell, and covered up the action of the fire-In front. It is
true that the fire was put out, and the building did not
burn down, which is usual in Philade’phia, Thabit
was a great fire has not been claimed. Admit
ting, however, that too much has been made ,of
it, i think Messrs Evans & Watson are the last par
ties to tomplaio., having previously advertised, and
put out in darning posters, the lone certificate from the
Lock Haven fire, which, ft* I am informed, was in the
street, and not in the firo at all. And if 1 have erred in
the least in this matter, my only apology is I.was,lod
