The Pnssetig’ci* Railroad Fares.
To the Editor oj The Press:
Your remarks of Saturday last on the “Advance
Of Price ” in our passenger cars aro so appropriate
and well-timed that I venture to suggesta very sira-
Clo plan by which bho “Board of Presidents” can
e brought to their senses by touching them in the
most sensitive part of their nature— their pockets.
My residence is on Broad strbet, near Poplar;
my place of business in the vicinity of Fourth and
Chestnut streets, I walk down and up every day,
and in my promenade down in the morning I notice
. numbers ol healthy, hearty young men, whoso busi
ness Is along Chestnut gircot,gettfngin the care run
ning down the Ridge road, and as they are obliged
to got out somewhere on Arch street, oi course must
walk at least two squares; and I also observe
Young ladies doing the same thing, Now, Mr.
v lidltor, let those persons, niul all others who are
N able to do So, walk m> and down : let thorn shun the
oars for but ono week; their health will be promoted
by it. while thoir pockets will be benefltted. TLet
persons visiting the - “ Sanitary Fair” shun the cars.
Let every one who has patronised them foot it!
and in loss'than ten days the managers,of those
“public conveniences” will see"the necessity of re
scinding their uncalled-for imposition, adopted by
their “ Board of Presidents,” for we must remember
that it costs as much per day to run an empty car as it
does a full one. , \Y. H. 81.

.GRAND GALA DAY
Oneuftbc most attractive ornaments of this rural
portion of Philadelphia is a neat and tasteful arch
■which has been thrown over the main street, in the
central part of . the village. It 13 formed of a suc
cession of circular evergreen wreaths, tho liandiwork
of the ladies of the village, the wreaths being
adorned, with flowers tastefully interwoven, and
each wreath having forits centre a gleaming star—
the wreaths and stars corresponding to the number:
of States of tho Union. The Keystone wreath, oc
cupying its appropriate position, has for rts central
ornament a star of the first magnitude, indicative of
the appreciation of our citizens 6f the valor of the
Pennsylvania Reserves—more especially, of Com
pany K. 3d Regiment, enlisted here, and composed
almost exclusively of residents of Holmesburg and
its vicinity. The Reserves arrived at their homes
on Thursday morning last, at 1 o’clock, after an ar
duous service of three years. To say, as a commu
nity, that the people of Holmesburg were excited,'
tinder the circumstances, would be to employ a very
mild term, for ■ parents were expecting their sons,
wives --their, husbands, .Bisters;,.their, 'brothers,
children their parents, and some ladles their
nearest, not to: say dearest, friends. A re
markable enthusiasm pervaded tho minds of
all. .Young. America, especially, manifested
a spirit of joyousness, perfectly uncontrollable,
and when the ringing of the bells of the village
announced the approach of the stalwart Captain
Robt. Johnson and his.war-worn veterans, preceded
by the Hoimesburg Brass Band, whickeseorted them
, from the city proper, accompanied by a committee
of our citizens, the Mystic Bodge of Odd-Fellows,
and the members of the Liberty Fire -Jompany,
with their gleaming torches, the enthusiasm was .
Indescribable, having no parallel in any previous
demonstration in Holmesburg;
Passing under the beautiful arch, with its ever-
I green .adornments, its multitude of. flags, 1 and fes
toons of red, white, and blue, the keystone wreath
display ing the words “ Welcome to the B r avb, ,j
the company was received and welcomed in front of
the Athemeum Hall, by the Rev. Mr. Bunker,
■whose name 13 characteristic of the man. Had he
been bom on Bunker Hill the self-saerificingpa
triotisin and unquestioned loyalty which lie has
maniicsted in shouldering his musket and in minis
trations to the wounded and dying on the battle
field, could not be exceeded.
In the interior of. the hall a bountiful collation
hail been provided, to which our brave defenders
did amplejustice; after which they retired to their
respective homes, to seek repose after their fatiguing
marches and the exeftement of their arrival
GALA DAY J2T trHm^tXFlhLY..
Or teat SatoYday the member* of Captain John
H. I>oi>?OTi J s Company f Q, Ist Regiment, Pennsyl
vania Reserve?, proceeded from this city to Pheenix-
Ttlle, (/‘heater county, where moat of them reside.
Their reception was an extremely enthusiastic one :
the town was gaily decorated with flags, wreaths,
Jostoons, garlands, and devices expressive of the
joyou3 feelings of the people in receiving back
among them these war-worn veterans. -
Upon alighting from the trains the company was
received and welcomed by the Hov.-.T. E. Bradley,
after -which a procession was formed under the
marshnlship of Mr.* Joseph F. McCord, formerly
first lieutenant of the company, who left thorn in
consequence of disability, resulting from a wound
received In front of Richmond in 1802. The pro
cession, beaded by the Phccnixville brass band, dis
coursing most excellent music, proceeded through
the prineipalstreets of the borough to the Phoanix
ville Hotel, where the soldiers were, addressed by
the Bov. J. Pastorfieid in a strain or impassioned
eloquence, replete with patriotism. The company
will return to the city in a day or two to be mustered
out of service; with their regiment, paid oif, and
discharged.

OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT ON THE CARS,
The fare of six cents per passage in the passenger
railroad cars went into effect yesterday, and every
body was .surprised.. The conductors exacted the
cent, and if not paid the passongor had to get out.
Persons who cannot make tho ready change had
better keep out of the cars, if they want to escape
the abuse of the more ignorant and ungentlemanly
of the conductors. Two cases of outrage were re
ported .yesterday. A one-legged soldier offered a
ien-cent note, the conductor asked for one cent, so
that he could give a five-cent note in change.- The
passenger had no cent; the oonductor-was inclined
to be surly. The s.oldier did not feci disposed to
take an insult.. After a wrangle, he. was thrust into
the street—the conductor keeping the ten-ceht note.
This happened at Tenth and Poplar streets. The
soldier can be seen at the Police Telegraph Station.
On car No. 14, of tho Arch and Fairmount Com
pany, a gentleman with three ladies took passage
to go to the Fair. Inpart payment, he offered tne
tickets issued by the company. These were refused
peremptorily. The gentleman not having four pen
nies about him, was forced by the conductor to leave
the car, taking tho ladies with him.

will be obviated in this, although the new structure
is not high enough to clear boats at high tide, the
grade of the street not admitting of any greater
height. , ; . -

THE GUERILLA SMOKED OUT t
HE SHOWS EIGHT—WILL HE STAND FIRE l
The $l,OOO Challenge Against the World
Accepted.
Mr;David-Evans: Wehave thisday received, through
our. agent, Mr. MV C. Sad 1 er, your\anicle, which ap-
S eared in 27ie Press of the 6th inst., proposing a test of
afes, under the form of a challenge : .
Your proposi tion would certainly have the appearance
Of fairness to the unsophisticated, while to those familiar
with the tacticsand fiank movements of Sheet-Iron Safe
makers its absurdity is at once apparent. ' .
You try to shield Evans & Watson’s present make of
Safes from harm. As the Safe you offerfor the test was,
. as you indicate, purchased by the Cora Exchange Bank
in ISSS (six years since), if it proved unequal to the tost,
it would immediately be contended by Evans & Watson
to be a different Safe from that now manufactured by
them, aud their Safes would still be-in the market;
On the other hand, the; Lillie Safe designated Was
manufactured by Lewis Lillie, and if it was unequal to
the test* Lewis Lillie & Son (the present manufacturers) ••
could claim improvements, and still prove asforralrfable
competitors as ever. Again, it is not to he ’supposed that
tlie Corn Exchange Bank, or any other Bank, would as
sent to the notoriety and disturbance which a Safe test
would produce in tueir banking house.- We desire and
claim an open, undisguised, and unmistakable test,and
we are entirely prepared to meet the consequences.
Now, Mr. Evans, bring out your best Evans & Watson
Burglar-proof Bank Vault Safe,' and you can take for
the test either of two Safes we have made and shipped
to the Bank of the Northern Liberties .of your city.
Both of these Safes were made before either of your pub
lications reached usi With these conditions, we accept:
your challenge in fulL As is well known, we very fre-
S neatly make our Bank Burglar Safes four:(4) inches in
lickness of metal, and we might justly insist on fur
nishing such a Safe for. a test; Bat we deem Safes of the
ordinary thickness (two inches), as they are placed in
vaults, amplesecurity as against burglars, aiid conse
quently we propose the above-named Safes for the.
test, tlioy being two inches in thickness. -
For years we have asserted what we shall maintain,
that we-have the only true method of constructing a
strictly burglar-proof Safe, and'by adding thickness of
metal any desired security may be obtained at a small
-additional expense,' We shall hold Evans & Watson
accountable for the test, and if you have assumed a;po
sition that eventuates in the antirelossto them of th»ir
Thief-proof Safe business, and of discovering to bur
glars a method by wbicb any Safe of their manufacture
—vault door, or other securities made of-alternate lay
ers of plate iron, hardened steel, or crystalled iron
can be penetrated in a short time by any common black
smith, or by the application of tlie first rudiments of a
practical roechanicareducatlou, and thereby prove con
clusively that all such securities are utterly unreliable,
then they must tako the responsibility and reap the con
sequences. / ' - .
Being unwilling to fraternize with thieves, or to
become their tutor, we 'do., not now publish our
method of operation. In this respect, we leave you
alone in your glory, trusting-you may receive all the
honor# that may attach.to.so respectable a .profession.
The Tioga County Bank robbery was not eftbcted from
-** ono of Lillie’s make of Safes, as you state,as it was
not manufactured by Lewis Lillie, Or L. Lillie & Son*
It was, however, a Merchant No. 6 size Safe, manufac
tured by the Worlds Safe Company, aud purchased by
the Tioga County Bank, at second-hand, from a mer
chant in Buffalo, N. Ys; in IS-54 or 1555.
We will etate,: without fear of contradiction, that
there never has been a robbery offered from a Lillie’s
Patent Chilled and Wrought Iron Bauk Safe, although
extensively used for the last twelve years, lfyou con
sent to the test as defined by us, you will please advise
either us or our agent, Sir. M. C.-Sadler. of your city.
