MR.. MORRELL'S VAULTS UNFRAMED.

The men who have been digging in the ruins of
MorrelPs warehouses. in Thirty second ST., got far
enough Yesterday to that the debris had
crushed in the top of the wine vaults. These vaults
We're under the receiving ROOM and were used to
store cases of old wine. 1t Is probable that what
the floor beams may have saved few of the cases.
Tue work has now been pushed so far that Mr..
Morre believes that every thing that stored in
sections one three and four, which sections in
Nos. lO2, 104, 40, 112, ia, 1l6. and 3 East
Thirty second-st has been destroyed. Section two
seeond-st Underneath this section is where the
safe deposit vaults are. The day after the fire the
tremen expressed the opinion that what was in
them would be saved When Mr. Herring. the safe
maker, opened tho huge iron doors, this opinion
proved correct, as everything seen to be safe
was felt not only by those whose property was
saved. but by the friends of Mr. Morre because he
had repeatedly assured his customers that the vaults
were hreproof. Mr.. Morrell says that he never de-
ciared the warehouses to he freproOf. His printed
receipts show This, we'll his price for storing
house and 81 80 in the vaults. The things in the
vaults would probably have all been destroyed by
water had it not been for iloodway which Mr..
Morrell invented to provide for Just such acct
dent This hoOdway carried Oft nearly all of the
water SO there was little or DAMAGE from this
source. The books containing the record deposits

AN UNSAFE DRAwBRIpGE AT NEWARK.

new iron draw with Il stone pier is being
structed for new bridge across tue Passaic River
at Bsdge-st, Newark. When work was began the
contractor, John f. Ward, of Jersey City, put up
temporary wooden bridge with am old-fashjoned
draw lii two sections, each section sliding back on
the main bridge when the draw is opened: The

East Newark. The driver James Henderson,, was
advised not TO atempt to cross the bridge, but he
drove on without needing the warning Before he
reached the draw the truck broke partly through
the flooring but was extrica'ed. Henderson drove
on ana reached the Newark section of the draw
when suddenly it gave way and the truck fell
through into the river. The harness connecting the

DANGERS or ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRES.

The question of the safety of the electric light
wires, at present arranged, is beginning to excite
the attention Of the Fire Commissioners. Yesterday
one of the wires came in contact with fire tclc-
graph wire downtown: the powerful current from
the former flashed into the alarm box in Wilam-st.
near New Chambers-st and destroyed it. On Mon
day the woodwork over the entrance of the Ger
mania Theatre, at Broadway and phirtcenth-st
was set on lire by the accidental breaking OF the
material insulating the wire thar feeds the electric
lamps over the door. Tie unprotected wire
III contact witt some lead ornaments, which were
quickly melted AMI the woodwork set fire.
The Fire Commissi 1neTs fear tiat when the wires,
which are ROW new, become old and worn, much
trouble will result.
There is another difficulty with the electric light
wines. If it should be necessary for the iremen to
cut them from the roof of burning house, they
wOnld the risk of losing their lives in the work

THE WHEAT SCARE.

There 10 no cause for fright in the
stories that have come from the West
about partial failure of the wheat crop.
Il may be true that great many fields
fall sown with wheat have been deluged
and frozen until they cannot promise q
paying yield, but If this is the case there
Is not the least probability of these
fields being allowed TO mature the little
grain that may start into growth. Such
nelds will be broken up and resown
either with wheat or some other grain.
Western farmers are not idiots to lei
themselves be beggared by bad weather
that comes two or three months before
the spring planting season. As for effect
upon the general wheat yield of the
yeA-. these reported failures amount 20
nothing. Many q splendid wheat crop
has followed weather as bad as that or

APPEAL OF A PRISONER.

HE ASKS TO SEE HIS DEAD SISTER,
KiED-HEARTED WARDEN.
From the Columbus tGa.) Enquirer-sun. n.
1t is an established fact that man
will, as a rule, deal gently, charitably
and humanely with fellow.man who
has fallen. In this respect we Rave
the advantage of the weaker ser. One
of the best audiences of the charity Of
one man for another was shown in our
city a few days since. James Lam-
bertson has been on the chain gang for
burglary during the past six months.
On Tuesday his sister died. She was
a lovely young lady, industrious and
affectionate to the family, and actually
worked her life away. On Monday
night at 10 o'clock she awakened her
grandmother, saying, "Strike light.
grandma | am dying" In . few
minutes her soul had taken its fight,
The daily gazette., 1881-01-25

Tuesday morning the news reached the
cell Of her brother, and he was almost
crazy with grief.
The other prisoners, though harden
ed in sin, could not restrain their feel
ings, and many were seen to wipe with
theiE sleeves tear drops that rolled
down their cheeks. It was scene
that caused criminals to shed tears,
and the poor unfortunate brother In his
grief prayed that he might see his sis
ter once more. At the suggestion of
others he wrote the following note to
Mr.. OPry, who has charge of the
chain gang
Oups. Hugh 0'Pry:
SIR /: I have just heard Of the death
Of my only sister. Will yon be kind
enough to come here and carry nae to
see her once more9 II busy, MIR.
Twilly can take me there. With great
respect, JAMES LAMBERTsoN.
MIR. OPry hired . hack and carried
him to The house. The scene was q sad
one, and men standing near it received
1t with eyes dimmed by tears. After
viewing the body and crying piteous-
ly he was persuaded to leave. En-
route to the Jail he made another re-
guest Of MIR. OPry-that he might see
her buried. A certain merchant hear
ing 1t, agreed to pay the hack fare If
Mr.. OPry would carry him, which he
did.
The action Of Mr.. O'Pry 10 highly
commendable. No one could have re-
sisted the appeal and it is case that
made strong meA weep. In this there
was no lack Of Christian charity.

FIFTY BOXES FOUND INA SEWER
TRENCH,
On Thursday last, while workmen
were engaged in digging an excava-
tion for q sewer on Marston street,
in West Philadelphia, they came
across several boxes about l3 feet
below the surface. On making an
examination they were found to
contain remains Of human beings
There were as many as fifty of these
boxes, and the bodies were IN var
ious stages Of decay-some were
wonderfully we'll preserved and
others were nothing but dust; some
contained bones, and In one was a
woman lying on her face. 1t was
ascertained that these were victims
of the cholera scourge which ragged
with such terrible fury here in 1882
"a time when the air was filled with
the means of the dying and those
who mourned them, when there
were not physicians enough to care
for the victims nor vehicles enough
to cart away the dead. The locality
had been improvised as a burying-
which the march of improve
ment had shut out from public re-
collection. The boxes were remoy-
ed to O proper place.
