The undersigned, members Of the Commit

two Safes originally agreed upon BY FarreIs

the Paymas,er OF the Philadelphia and Read

the Safe in use by H. A. Lantz, in his store,
manufactured by Evans s. Watson, and put
in books and papers precisely alike.
The fire was started at 81 O'Clock, A. NJ,
and kept up until four cords of green hickory,
two cords dry oak and half chestnut top wood
were entirely consumed, the whole under
the superinlendence of The subscribers, MEM

Safe manufactured by Evans & Watson were
but slightly affected by the intense heat,
vphila those taken from the Safe manufac-
