Truth is Mighty, and Must Prevail
report Of the Committee appointed to s'perin-
tend the Burning Of the Iron Safes, at Read
ing, February q, 1857.
RRADlSe, March 4.
The undersigned, members Of the committee,
do respectfully report, that we saw the two Safes
originally agreed upon by Farrels & Hcrting and
Evans & Watson, placed side by side in fur
mace, viz: The Sale muse by the Paymaster of
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Compa-
ny, in his office at Reading, manufactured hy
FarreIs & Herring, and the Safe in use by IL.
a. Lantz, in his store, manufactured by Evans
& 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 SAX and half chcsuut top wood were
entirely consumed, the whole under the surcrin-
tendence orthe subscribers, members of the Com
mittcc. The Safes were then cooled off with
water. after which they were opened, and the
books and papers taken out by the Committee
and sent to II. A. Lantz's store for public exam
! ined and marked by the Committee. The books
and papers taken from :he Safe manufactured
| py Farre!s d. Herring were in our judgment,
damaged fully fifteen per cent more than those
taken from Evans 4 Watson's Safe.
| We believe the above 10 have been fair and
impartial trial oftl!c respective qualities Of both
Safes.
