READING, March 4lh.
The undersigned, members OF the Commit
lee, do respectfully report, that we saw the
two Safes originally agreed rpm by Farfels
& Herring aud Evans & Watson, placed side
by side iE furnace, viz: The Safe in use by
tie Paymasler OF the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad Company, in his office at Read
ing, manufactured by Farrels s. Herring, aud
the Safe in use by H. a. LaniZ, in his sore,
manufactured by Evans g. Watson, aud put
in books and papers precisely alike.
The fire was started al 81 O'Clock, A. NJ,
and kept up until four cords of green hickory,
two cords dry oak and hall chestnut top wood
were entirely consumed, the whole under
the supermendence OF The subscribers, MEM
be.s OF The Committee. The Safes were then
cooled of with water, after which they wete
opeued, agj The books and papers taken out
by the Committee and sent 10 H. A. Lanlz's
store for public examination, after they were
first examined and marked by the Commit.
tee. The books and papers taken from the
Safe manufactured by Evans s. Watson were
but slightly affected by the intense heat,
while those taken from tie Sale manufac-
iured bv FarIes & Herring were, in our judg
ment, damaged fully fifteen per cent. more
lhan those laken from Evans g. Watson's
