We hope that, at this festive and joyous season of the
year, those who are exposed to all the Inclemency of the
winter, nnd the hardships and: dangers of*war, will
be kindly remembered. To meet their great and con

warm woolen under-clothing. We hope that this and
other stores will be plentifully given, that our brave
soldiers may, in the remembrance, ofthe fact that they
are hot forgotten, and in the enjqpnent ofthe gifts of
generous friends, spend “ a Happy New Year. ”

ARTICLE THIRD.
To Heears, Evans A Watson : In reply to your article
headed “Important to Merchants,’' , and published
in the Dispatch of the 20th inst., and Press of 231, I
charge you, first* with publishing the statement, show
ing apparent failures of Lillie's Safes. (with two excep
tions. ) Having every reason to know and believe them
false in fact or in inference, and false so far a. they
tend in the leaat to disparage or r discredit Lillie's 6afo,
(as made elnco 1 became the manufacturer;) as you know
these statements were first published by Herring A Co.,
Nei» York, years since* next by Farrell*. Herring, A Co.
here, and largely circulated soon after my present agency
was established. Third, br yourselves, and circulated
without signatures or paternity of issue.
Ton know, also, that I necessarily had to publish an
extended circular to meet and answor these ttlbeloas
statements; that] answered each one in detail present
ing a large amount of. proof, and, in most cases, certifi
cates from the owners of Safes, showing that these
statements were bate, false, and slanderous.
Ton know, also, that as my answer was published,
and began to circulate in Philadelphia, that yourselves
and Farrell, Herring, A Co.* at oned stopped the general
circulation of these false statements, ana only alrcal&ted
them in the most stealthy manner, where it was sup
posed the answer would not reach, as it was found to be
triumphant.
And the evident reason for their publication at this
time and in a newspaper is. that it would not be practi
cal to meet them by publishing in same manner the An
swer with the accompanying affidavits and certificates*
both on account of expense and robin reauired.
This, I presume, is‘ a fair specimen of the fair and
manly competition to which you dr> in t object, and these
are the real facts to which you call public attention:
As to your ouct* liberal offer to test Safes by fire, there
are two important objections:
First, I object to putting my Safe against any Safe that
has beeathreugh one fire, ana I aek no fifty r>er cent, ad
vantage. My Safe must be tested upon equal terms, and
stand or fall on its merits.
The eecond objection ia, that you claim the privilege of
selecting a Safe In your own possession.' This I cannot
permit. .Neither party shall have the possession of the
Safe to be burned. T/»e test.must be a fair one, and nei
tber party shall have the opportunity tohrlngor fit up &
Safe for the occailon. “ That game is played out ”
7 see no objection to my former proposition to test Safes
by fire; but I will now be more explicit.
you propose the Wiaver, Fitter A Co. Safe.: AU right.
I will select one of your make now in use in this city,
end sold within six years, of similar size; neither Safe to
be Inposseßbio-n. of either party until after the test; each
party to’arrange with the owner-for their make of Safe.
The committee of five to be selected, a 3 you propose,
from responsible and known business men not connected
with the manufactory or business of either party, di
rectly or indirectly, and the burning to be under their
control; a suitable and proper furnace to be prepared,
end the Safes placed therein, the Safes to be horned until
one of them loses its contents. The party whose Bafe
wins is to have both bates, and the party whose Safe fails
is to pay all expenses of the test, as yon propose: and.
Bbould there be any other necessary preliminaries, they
shall be settled on equal and fair terms.
Gentlemen, thall ihave your acceptance?

Per M. C. SADLER,
Agent and Attorney,

TO THB PUBLIC.
Having, as I think, properly replied to the publishers
of tne article above alluded to, I will now hake up, some
what in detail, the slanderous statements therein made,
that the public may be able to judge of and appreciate
the * i sfw«>om/acte ,, therempreßented. -
And that I may be the better understood. I will first
give a. short, and concise history of tho Chilled Iron
Safe.
Not far firm the year 38501 introduced, for the time,
a superior Safe Look, and at flrifc applied it to sheet
iron Safes. Soon the burglars began to- blow the locks
soff with powder, and the Safe could not protect any
lock. I undertook to remedy the difficulty; I first
adopted light boiler-plate iron for the inner surface,
and cast ii on for: the outer. This principle was aban
doned, for the reason that the boiler-plate iron had not
the power to chill the cast iron, or to-so connect the two
irons as to. prevent the breaking of the cast iron.
I next adopted the principle of making for the inner
. surface a network of wrought iron bars, and drilled
inch holes* through those bars, separated about two
inches, and coantersnnk them, which allows the ca*it
iron to form a great number of bolts, as weU as to- fill
up the space between the bars—thus tying and con
necting-the two kinds of iron to thoroughly that no
ordinary power can break or separate them, while at
the same tims the iron bars effectually chill the cast
iron To make the Chilled Iron Safe fire-proof, £ first
adepted fire brick and various other non-conducting
fire proof materials, the qne being abandoned for an
other, until after several > ears the filling now usedby
me was . discovered and adopted. .
Previous to November, 3557, these Safes were made by
a stock company, under my first patent. I then pur
cha ad their works and made the improvements which
time and experience had suggested. Tbree new patents
were soon obtained. My patterns were all improved,
beth as Bgainet fire and burglary. My lock was im
proved, to prevent the driving in with the sledge, as at
Hudson. : But in 1862 a machine, calledthe Micromotor,
was introduced, which enabled the expert to pick my
lock, with most, if not all the best bank locks in use,
making it necessary to construct a lock upon which this
machine could not act. This I claim to have done effec
tually, a* none of the experts with the machine have
succeeded to pick it.
This being the history of the ChiUedTron Safe. I will
now review the article as proposed- The first complaint
is, that my agent advertises my Chilled Iron Safe as the
only real Fire and Burglar-proof Safe made This Is
eminently true as applied to the ordinary mercantile
Safe, as the common sheet-iron Safe is now of uo account
against burglars, as every day’s experience proves The
next con plaint is, that the (Jhilled iron Safe is advertised
at one-third less price. This is not true My sheet-iron
Safe.madelikethecommonSafe, andbetterand stronger,
is sold as a fire proof only, at one- third less price. The
next and only serious complaint'ls, that my agent has
advertised four of Evans-ic. Watson’s Burglar-proof Safes
for sale that were received of the City Bank, alleging
that they were fire-proof. chests made near twenty years
since, &c. These Safes were found in the City Bank
vault, holding the money and securities of the bank,
entirely made, of iron plates 4 of about double the usual
thickness of ordinary Safes,, one of them with double
locks, and all with secret springs, without any fire-proof
filling at all, and sold by the bank'as Burglar or Bank
vault Safes. The &in of advertising them for sale is ac
knowledged, if it is a sitti
Proofs are next offered to show that the Chilled Iron
Safe is not burglar proof.
The Safe at Knoxville was an ordinary Safe, and not a
a Bank Safe, made not by me, but under my first patent.
Tbe lock was driven in. the barrel being straight, and
one of my improved locks with taper barrel was put on
the same Safe in place of the old one, and the owners
have it now in use.
The second case, at Hudson, Wis., had the same Safe
as above, not my make and not a Bank Safe. Thelock
was driven in and powder applied, and the bank at once
ordered one of my improved beit Bank Safes.
Third. The Medina Bank Safe was made under my first
patent, and not my make. The front knob spindle was
drilled (which is not practical now, as the spindle Is
drill-proof and patented)/ and powder, cannot be insert
ed; and the President, after examining my improve
ments, ordered my best Bank Safe:
Fourth.: The Saxes referred to at Ro/hester were cast
upon boiler-plate iron, about the first Safes made, not
sold as drill-proof, and the same were exchanged for my
improved Bank Safes, which are now in use by same
Banks.- _ '
Fifth. The statements made by Raynex & Ogden. Tear
& Miller, all refer to the old Safes made by the World
Safe Company, and cast on boiler-plate iron; and Mil
ler’s statement that it was done at the request of Mr. Sad
ler, is false, as he was-not present or in the city, and
knew nothing of it until after it was done.
Next in order is ihe-Safe at Olean, the only one of my.
make referred to. This was a cominpn-fcssDAafe.: -. It was
rnecmpoii'Trcrrace-ima'piaced on heavy timbers,
and the best .mechanic from Herring & Co. : s Works.
New York, was the operator, having an eighteen-pound
sledge with three-and-a-haif-foot handle, crowbar, chi-
Bela, &c. After striking between five hundred and six
hundred blows that could be heard three hundred to
lour hundred yards, he got a hole through the back
large enough for the arm; and, after trying fora half
hour to drill the door with drills prepared for the pur*
pose, made a perfect failure, and the Bank which had
this Safe, at once ordered my best Bank Safe. SS7S.
I now offer the citizens’ statements who were present:
The test with the drill was an entire failure, and so
conceded by'the attacking party, and this we deem the
real test as to its * 'burglar-proof” properties. We ua
hesi avixgly give it as our opinion, founded upon a full
knowledge of all the facts and circumstances, .that this
Safe is all that is claimed for it byjnts manufacturer—
burglar-proof—find so far as this test goes, it has only
strengthened our confidence in the burglar-proof quali
ties of Lillie’s Sale, and established for it iu this locality
a confidence never again to be impaired by itinerant

- in order is the Wilkesbarre case, whichisau
swered in my former article as to its merits, and I will
refer only to the declarations now made. The first is that
the Safa was robbed of a laige amount of money. -No
such proof is shown anywhere,- The second, that Mr.
Sadler asserted that it was the first successful drilling of
Lillie’s Chilled lion Safe it is untrue. He said that Bar
num might advertise, in his Museum as the first success
ful drilling of. Lillie’s Chilled Iron Safe by th? whole
burglfir profession.
The next statement is, that a reference to the few cases
above will shon how much liisword iAto be relied upon.
The examination of the above cases will show that the
only drilling by ai>y burglar was the knob spindle of the
Medina safs, sind that not Lillie’s aud not chilled iron.
1 think the public may now judge how much they can
rely upon Messrs. Evans & Wats m’e statements and in--
ferences
The late ease at Yardleyville is also one of the old Safes
sold in Philadelphia before I purchased the works, and
it seems was not of sufficient hardness; and the owner
has ordered one of my Chilled Iron Safe#, saving that, “if
they are not burglar-proof there is no Sifeihat is. : I
Would sooner trust them than any other ” ' ; '
The Waterford case introduced in a still later article is
another of the old Safes, and hot a Bank Safe, that waa
not Lard enongU for the drill, and the victim'(theowner)
immediately ordered one of my best Bank Safes, having
no confidence in any other.
i would here state that, there never has been a Bank
Safe robbed of one dollar made under any one of my Ba
tents; and the two cases, Hudson ►nd Knoxville, where
the lock was driven in, and the Wilkesbarre. Yardler
vUle. and Waterford cases, which were drilled, are all
thecases of robbery under any of my Patents, and not
any of them my make except one, and that not probable.
These are the '‘.stubborn facts. ” Next comes the state
ment as to lire proof. The first :
Hannibal (Mo). -This Safe was notniymake., I did
not offer a higher priced one for it; had nodirect interest'
in it. It was broken open when red-hot, which would
destroy tl e contents in any Safe.
Next, St. Johx’s (Mich).—This.was not my make.
The filling had teen taken out of the door to repair tho
lock, end not returned. Of course it was hot fire-proof, :
and the owner says the Sale was not in fault.
Next, Paynesvilie (Ohio).—This.Safe was opened
after the fire commenced, the contents taken out, tho-
S«te door left open; and, after it got on fire inside, in
falling the door shut. This is its history, asl can show,
and it was not my make:
Next, Cape Mat. —This was not my Safe. It was fur
nished by Day & Newell, with their lock,'more.as a
burglar proof, and not filled over the lock. -
Crystal Palace -This Safe was not my make, nor
made as I make Safeß. It was an ordinary Safe, and of
ordinary thickness. It was burned in a cose fire twenty
four hours, which would bura any ordinary Safe five
times. . 1 . - .
Danville,—' This Safe wae over a drug, store, and fell
into a mass of combustible material, and remained there'
f-r five days. Twenty or thirty dollars in gold and silver
coin were found to be discolored.
TroYv— This Safe is now in front of the office, 21’ South,
Seventh street, ready for inspection, not- injured iu. the
leae« ; ■ '-• -
Messrs. E. & W. next state they think the above cases
are quite sufficient. -I think they are,-to show the/air
and manly competition which they exhibit towards the
Chilled-Iron Safe, and to show. also,.what reliance can
be placed upon the'real and stubborn facts.they, attempt
to show. •
Having presented the facts in the, cases referred to as
concise as possible;. T will now state that-1 have, at 21
South Seventh street, a liberal supply of circulars an
swering fully all these charges against, the Chilled- Iron
Safe, with any amount of certificates and proofs from
the owners of the Safes and others to prove my statement
trne, which will be presented to anyone desiring to see
ilie ptoofe. "
As to the fire- proof tests referred to- sot one of them
are my Safes, and not a case that shows the Safe in fault
had It been mine. ,
The very common and just,saying- that the exception
often proves the rale, l think quite applicable to prove
the chilled Iron Safe to be bnxglar proof. Out of-the tens
of thousands in use all over the United States, holding a
large portion of the money of the country for the last ten
years, three'commo®. Safes-have been drilled’by bnrg
laip, and only five robbed altogether. It shows conclu
sively, first, that a Safe must be driil proof to be burglar
proof; second, that the ChllledTronPafeis generally drill
proof, or there would, be more of them ariiled, and the
test made'by'Herring& Co.*s experiment on the only
Paie of my make .in the catalogue, proves still stronger
that wy Safes are drill proof. •
In a ciit'Cal view of the whole article to which this is a
rrply, I am sirongly reminded of the ' ‘ 'Whitened Sevjil
chrc. ” All Beems white and /air outside, but within all
U blackness, darkness* and'corruption.
