ABOUT VAULTS. Insceurity Against Robbery of Many Chicago Vaulls, The Tesson of tho Attempt to Rob the Marine Banlk, Description of 2 Few Real Fire and Burglar-Proof Vaults. The City Infested by Three Mobs of Bank-Robbers, A moro allusion to the proverbinl drend of fire entortained by n youngotor sho has experioncod its offcols in quito sufticiont introduction to tho subjoct of the present article—vaults, Tho splondid efforls at cromation oxhibited by tho Great Firo in ‘its offects upon safes was suffl- ciont to furce upon the ownera of valuablo prop- orty dostructibla by heat the absoluto necossity for providing some menus of protection far their porishablo goods. Ono doos not need to take & horso and carringo and inspect the rising monu= ment roared by an approcintive city to tho uso- lossness of Bafos to be reminded of tho whole- Balo disgust produced upon baulors, renl ostato Qenlors, brokers, and othors, by ihe discovery that thefr grecubacks and papers had been roduced to ashcs, though eafoly imbedded in stcol and coment. The rocord of their disap- proval can ensily bo road in the thousnnds of imporinl buildings which bave boon raised with- in tho pnst twonty months. A reportor whoso duty it was to noto down tho thon rising or pro- jocted palaces of commorco during tho great Chicogo ronnissnnce, grow tired, in his weary rounds, of the monotonous sunouncomont, “vaults on overy floor.” There was not build ing but had vaults, They rauged from oll sizes' and woro built with one object in view, and that object was to dofy tho flames of a sccond possi~ blo conflagration. Bittor oxporience taught the folly of relying for protection ngaingt * the flend” in ordivary so-called ¥ five~ praof afos.” Aud tho lesson thus unplensantly improssod wes omphasized mosk forcibly by tho occasionnl maus of masonry standing ercet in o henp of rubbish, and benring on its doorless faco tho ovidence of its former usefulnoss o8 & voult. Obicago was gatisfled that slie dreaded fire, and © vault slone could &ave to lior tho monoy and tho papers. BAFETY FROM FIRE was tho only considoration, * Chenply, too, muet we have this safoty,” was tho maxim of the struggling but dauntless mon who rebuilt the city, Thoy must have fire-proof doors as well ns firo-proof vaults, but these doors must cost s littlo as possible. Thero is pothing to fear from anytbing but firo, thonght they. We can fight men shigle-handed, but we bavo all the odds sgainst us in o confla- gration. Among thoso who wore guided by this principlo was tho groat and good gontloman who haa rocently como before the publio for sympa- thy, in the guire of a deoply injured man, Heo ‘would not have dono 8o but for wicked mon. Thoy must bo wicked mon indeod who would shut thoeir oyes to tho storling worth of that do- vout benefactor to mankind, aud attempt a rob- bory on Elder Scammon, ELDER BCAMION, among other great aud good works for the bene- £it of lis follow-citizens, crccted a vory hand- somoe building on the corner of Lako and La- Ballo stroots, and, that tho_* poor and lowly” might have & placo to doposit their monoy, moved to that building the Marine Banlk, Tho handsomo building was_ constructod like a thousand other hanosome buildings in Chicago, atrong onough to staud for conturies, It hnaits ‘vaults, and its vaults wore firo-proof, and thus the dignifiod philanthropist 1magined Limself secure. The orror of his faith was illusirated on Baturday. IIo had laid up his trossure whove noither moth nor rust could corrupt, and he ne- cordingly supposed that thioves conld not, ovon if thoy implously wishod 1t, broak in and_steal, But the morning papers announced his mistako, The donger whicl Mr. Scammon ran of suffering at the hends of a gang of exporienced au dotormined cracksmon, is ono which throatens tho wholo conununity, in n greater or less dogroo. Whila the practics of virtus is populnrly supposed to ongross tho attention of n compara- ti\‘e?y Jimited number of men outsido the clori- cul profession, ordinary peoplo will lourn with surpriso that .

Duuk-robbery is one of those practices which mon of no ordinary ability have studied, and studied with enro. ~T'he value of tho booty an- ticipated has ita oquivalent in = the dilicmity of renching it, ond, though very fow of tho “ crookod men,” and not to very mauy of tho others, but would secnre sov- eral hundred thousand dollars if they could, tho diflicultios aro so grost that a fow gongs in the country havo & monopoly of tho busincss. So remunerntive is n vounture when it doos succoed, that it warrauts careful working up, Thereader will learn without astonishment, therofore, that nearly every largo building 1n CLlungo is, in the dotnill of its construction, thorouglily mapped out and arranged for the honelit of theso vory DANK-TODBERS. It is probablo that tho vuinerable points of each aro Inown, and that tho fraternity are ready at any moment to mako a descent upon any ono partieniar vault, Thoir emissarics were © oclively nt work - during the sozaon, and tho fruits of thoir Inbors will begin shorly to appear, unless oxirnordinary precau~ tiony aro takon. A4 thoso who would ‘Srom by sny information upon the subject nre alredy in posecssion of mora than wo can give them, there need bo no hositation in making the statement that thero aro not half-a-dozon yaults in Chicago into which » skillful bank-robbor epunot make an ontry.

This puggestion was that tho inuldo of tho vault should bo lined with railroad iron (steel).
