CAMP ALLEN.


A tract of land which now forms the more southerly part of "Nebraska," in Fort Wayne, was the rendezvous and training ground of several of the regiments and portions of regiments re- cruited in northeastern Indiana during the entire period of the war. It is directly southwest of the Main street bridge, opposite Swinney park. In later years it was purchased by the city and named Camp Allen park. Hugh B. Reed, acting under a commission from Gov- ernor Oliver P. Morton, served as post commandant at Fort Wayne and assisted in the organization of the local companies and regi- ments. William S. Smith, city attorney, was appointed enrolling and drafting commissioner.


Camp Allen, the recruiting place of troops from the near-by regions, saw the organization of the Thirtieth regiment, with Sion S. Bass as its colonel, on the 20th of August, 1861; the Twelfth In- diana infantry, Colonel William HI. Link (mortally wounded at the battle of Richmond, Kentucky) ; the Forty-fourth regiment, Hugh B. Reed colonel, on the 22d of November, 1861; the Seventy- fourth regiment, organized in 1862, Colonel Thomas Morgan; the Eighty-eighth regiment, organized in the summer of 1862, George Humphrey colonel, and the One Hundredth regiment, under Colonel Sanford J. Stoughton. Another famous Allen County organization, the Eleventh Indiana battery, was organized in 1862.


MAJOR GENERAL HENRY W. LAWTON.


A word at this point with reference to Fort Wayne's greatest military leader, Major General Henry W. Lawton, is entirely fitting.


The father of Henry W. Lawton came to Fort Wayne during the building of the Wabash and Erie canal, but the family did not locate here permanently until 1858, at which time Henry, who was born at Manhattan, Ohio, in 1843, entered the Methodist college as a student. He enlisted as a private in the company organized by W. P. Segur, which became a part of the Ninth Indiana regiment,

and re-enlisted with Captain O. D. Hurd's company, assigned to service with the Thirtieth Indiana volunteers. He became a sergeant of Company E, Ninth Indiana infantry, first lieutenant of the Thir- tieth infantry, and a lieutenant colonel in the closing year of the civil war, when he returned to Fort Wayne and entered upon a law course of study in the office of Judge L. M. Ninde.


Acting upon the advice of Judge Ninde, he began the study of law in Harvard university, and while thus engaged he received an appointment in the regular army as a second lieutenant in the Forty- first Indiana infantry, in 1866. He was transferred to the Fourth United States cavalry in 1871, and promoted to captain in 1879.


In 1876 he was prominent in the campaigns against the Sioux and the Ute Indians. General Nelson A. Miles chose him in 1886 to lead a picked body of men to capture the bloodthirsty Indian chief, Geronimo. Within three months, on scant, unwholesome ra- tions, the little command traversed 1,396 miles of Mexican soil before the chief and his band were captured. At the beginning of the Spanish-American war General Lawton, then a lieutenant-col- onel, was promoted to the office of major-general of volunteers. He was in command of the Second division of the Fifth army corps before Santiago, and became "the hero of El Caney." At the close of the war he was transferred to the Philippines and placed in com- mand of Manila. Here he began an active campaign against the


Gris.


COLONEL SION S. BASS.


Colonel Bass was a brother of John H. Bass, who has grown to advanced years at the head of the Bass Foundry and Machine works. Sion S. Bass came to Fort Wayne from Salem, Kentucky, in 1848, and soon became a member of the impor- tant firm of manufacturers of iron prod- ucts, Jones, Bass and Company. At the outbreak of the war of the rebellion he left his business affairs to assist in the organization of the famous Thirtieth regiment, which was mustered in Sep- tember 24, 1861. Of this regiment, Sion S. Bass was commissioned colonel, and he led the regiment through the prelim- inary movements at the battle of Shiloh. In the face of the terribly destructive fire of the second day the young leader fell mortally wounded. The remains were brought to Fort Wayne for burial.


THE AVELINE HOUSE.


The view of the Aveline house is from a woodcut owned by the building con- tractor, D. J. Silver, and shows the ar- chitectural form of the building as it appeared before its remodeling. The building was erected during the years 1860, 1861 and 1862, by Francis S. Ave- line. For a period of forty-five years the Aveline was Fort Wayne's leading hotel. In the eighties a fifth floor was added to the building, and a thorough remodeling brought to the place the name of the New Aveline. The destruc- tion of the building by fire on the morn- ing of May 3, 1909, attended by the loss of twelve lives, stands forth as Fort Wayne's most memorable holocaust.

native insurgents. On December 19, 1899, a bullet from the rifle of a Filipino sharpshooter at San Mateo brought to him almost instant death. The body of General Lawton, conveyed to America for burial at Arlington cemetery, lay in state in the Allen county court- house while thousands viewed the closed casket. (See Chapter XLVI.) That Governor James A. Mount failed to recognize Law- ton's standing in the estimation of the Indiana veterans in 1898 is shown by his words in reply to the proposition to honor him with the appointment of brigadier general at the outbreak of the Spanish- American war. "Lawton is an absolutely unknown quantity in Indiana," said he. "His selection would disgust and disrupt the National Guard. I protest vigorously against his appointment. It must not be. He has no identity with Indiana. If the powers that be insist on his preference, we may as well abandon the camp and


MOSES DRAKE, JR.


Mr. Drake was appointed postmaster of Fort Wayne in 1861. During his in- cumbency he installed a mailbox system. While serving his second term his death occurred, and Peter P. Bailey was named as his successor.

disband the troops." The failure to appoint Lawton at this time prevented the service of the Indiana troops beyond the border of the United States.


AN EXCITING ELECTION.


The legislature in the passage of the act which lengthened the term of the city officers of Fort Wayne from one to two years precipitated a lively scramble for the offices. Mayor F. P. Randall won a re-election by a vote of 799 over A. M. Webb (433), Sol D. Bayless (330) and William Stewart (139).1


THE BUILDING OF THE FOURTH COURTHOUSE.


In the midst of the war troubles and anxieties the county erected and dedicated its fourth courthouse-the building which immedi- ately preceded the present magnificent structure. In 1858 a levy of fifteen cents on each $100 of taxable property had been made

for a fund to build a courthouse which "should last for a century, at least." In the following year the levy was increased to twenty cents, and the commissioners advertised for plans. The accepted design was prepared by Edwin May, of Indianapolis, and on January 12, 1860, the contract was let to Samuel Edsall, Virgil M. Kimball, Ochmig Bird and Louis Wolke (Samuel Edsall and Company) for $63,613, although the builder was D. J. Silver. Extras, for which allowances were made, increased the cost to $74,271, and the furnish- ings and the equipment brought the total outlay to $78,000. Before the completion of the building Mr. Edsall sold his interest in the contract to John Brown and Virgil M. Kimball.


The cornerstone of the building was laid with Masonic ceremo- nies May 1, 1861, Sol D. Bayless, past grand master, officiating. Charles Case delivered an address. This cornerstone, of white mar- ble, is preserved in the present courthouse, where it is embedded in the wall of the main floor near the Court street entrance. The cutting is the handiwork of Bernard S. O'Connor. The board of commissioners accepted the building July 23, 1862. It was in use thirty-five years.


The courthouse was built of brick, with stone trimmings. The length of the building was 120 feet, and the breadth 65 feet, exclu- sive of the east and west wings, which were 20 by 40 feet in dimen- sions. From the ground to the top of the cupola the distance was 160 feet. Eight octagonal shafts extended from the ground to a distance of eight to twenty feet above the roof of the building.


The construction of this fourth courthouse was not without its difficulties. Before the contract was let, one of the members of the board of commissioners, Theron M. Andrews, made an effectual pro- test against awarding Mr. May the contract. The latter was then engaged to superintend the work of construction, but was discharged and the duties placed in the hands of Samuel McElfatrick. Later, when a difference of opinion arose between the commissioners and the contractors, a board of arbitration composed of Joseph K. Edger- ton, E. R. Wilson, Jesse L. Williams, I. D. G. Nelson and Pliny Hoagland was named to pass on the debated points.


A bell purchased for the courthouse tower weighed 1,314 pounds. Louis Rastetter was engaged to make the town clock to be placed in the tower. Upon the completion of the courthouse the old buildings containing the clerk's office and the recorder's office on the public square were torn down.


ACTIVITIES OF 1860.


Allen county's first organization of practicing physicians-the Allen County Medical society-came into existence as a part of the state society in 1860. Dr. Isaac M. Rosenthal was the first president. The organization is now known as the Fort Wayne Medical society. The charter members were Drs. C. A. Schmitz, Henry P. Ayres, William H. Brooks, Thomas P. Mccullough, Charles F. Mayer, W. H. Myers, Isaac M. Rosenthal, B. S. Woodworth, C. S. Smith, John M. Josse and George T. Bruebach. The official census gave Fort Wayne a population of 10,388, an increase of 5,006 over 1850.


The German Catholic Barromeus society was organized in 1860; the officers in 1864 were: President, H. Branger; secretary,

Henry Monning; treasurer, John Mohr. Among the perma- nent settlers of 1860 were Henry J. Ash (born in New Hampshire), wholesale and retail stove merchant; Dr. Isaac M.

Rurode (born in Hanover, Germany), for many years one of the most prominent department store proprie- tors; M. V. B.

THE FOURTH COURTHOUSE.


The brick building which was torn down in 1897 to give room for the erection of the present Allen county courthouse was built during the war of the rebellion and dedicated at a time when the people were weighed down with anxieties and sorrows and excited over political dissensions. The cornerstone was laid May 1, 1861, and the building was accepted by the commissioners July 23, 1862. The complete cost was $78,000. The structure stood in the center of the public square, surrounded by a grass plot and shade trees. It served the county for a period of thirty-five years.

in 1837), railroad contractor and public-spirited citizen, and Dr. John M. Josse (born in Germany in 1818), a leading physician. The feature of the Fourth of July celebration of 1860 was an old settlers' reunion at the Rockhill house. Souvenirs in the form of canes made from timbers from the old fort were presented by Colonel G. W. Ewing. Judge Samuel Hanna served as a member of the committee which escorted Abraham Lincoln on his campaigning tour through Illinois and Indiana.


ACTIVITIES OF 1861.


In 1861 Moses Drake was appointed postmaster by President Lincoln. He kept the office for a time in its old location on Clinton street, and then moved it to the Robinson block (now the Randall hotel), on Harrison street, and afterwards to the room on Court street just north of the Foster furniture store. This ended the migration of the postoffice until it found a permanent home. . William Ellinger, a Baltimore showman, visited Fort Wayne and closed a contract with Charles Nestel ("Commodore Foote") and his sister, Eliza ("The Fairy Queen") as a theatrical attraction. Each of the Nestles measured three feet and eight inches in height. Already Charles had been exhibited in several Ohio cities, and the Cincinnati Enquirer had declared that "he is a greater curiosity than Tom Thumb." Later, in company with their father, Daniel Nestel, the brother and sister spent several years in visits to the states and Canada. Several tours of European cities brought them into the royal courts of the leading foreign nations. . . Be- cause of the lack of funds, the public schools were closed for several weeks during the spring of 1861. Warren H. Withers was appointed to serve as Indiana's first collector of internal revenue, with the duty of organizing the department. Byron D. Mi- ner was elected state representative. Among the citizens who settled in Fort Wayne in 1861 were M. Baltes, from Prus- sia, contractor and dealer in building supplies ; Noble G. Olds (born at Bedford Springs, Pennsylvania, in 1818), manufacturer of vehicle wheels, and prominent in the activities of the city; Robertson J. Fisher (born at Little Falls, New York, in 1845), an official of the Bass Foundry and Machine works.

T HE SECOND year of the war of the rebellion found hundreds of the remaining young men ready to respond to the calls for additional troops, and soon the appeals came with appalling frequency.


Isaac Jenkinson was appointed enrolling and conscription agent, and all able-bodied citizens between the ages of eighteen and forty- five years were held subject to draft in case the several townships of Allen county failed to supply their designated quota. Camp Allen was a busy center of enlistment and encampment.


Already flag-draped caskets bearing the bodies of many of the heroic sons of Allen county who had fallen early in the struggle were being returned to their sorrowing households, and the tolling of the bells proclaimed the despair of many homes. "How strange it is," observes one of the papers, referring to a prominent volunteer of the county who had lost his life on the battlefield,-"how strange the difference between his reception and his parting! Then, the tongue of slander lisped harsh words against the loyalty of this young officer-now it is uttering praise." The comment suggests the bitterness and unjustness of the times.


PATRIOTIC WOMEN AND CHILDREN.


Volumes of praise have been written of the heroic women who dared to remain quietly at home and bravely play their part in the battle for the right. The wives and mothers and sisters of Fort Wayne and Allen county, ever ready to contribute their great share, were busy early in 1862, organized to supply substantial means of comfort and relief to the fathers and brothers and sons at the front. Among the first organizations to render assistance were the Ladies' Soldiers' Aid society, the Young Ladies' Patriotic society and the Little Girls' Aid society.


A committee consisting of E. Bostick, V. M. Kimball, Dr. W. H. Brooks, James Humphrey and Morris Cody was named to supervise the care of sick and wounded soldiers and the work was undertaken in systematic form.


THE THIRD YEAR OF THE WAR.


President Lincoln's call for 300,000 additional volunteers in 1863 found Allen county ready to respond to the limit of its quota,

20. Passenger Trains will wait at meeting points twenty-five minutes for each other, when if either train is delayed beyond that time the other will wait five minutes more, making thirty minutes in all, then proceed, keeping precisely thirty minutes behind its own schedule time, until it has met and passed the delayed train The five minutes are allowed for any possible variation of watches, and must not be used by the delayed train in approaching the meeting point, or any station where it expects to meet the op- posing Train.


Should both Trains be delayed at the same time, aud fail to reach the meeting point within the twenty- five minutes, they will each wait at the Station where the other is due, according to the foregoing rule, thirty minutes behind the schedule time of the ex- peeted Train; after which neither train can proceed, where there are eurves in the road, or the weather is so foggy as to prevent an uninterrupted view of the track ahead for more than one-half mile, except by keeping a man at least 600 yards ahead, with dan- ger signals; and, in no case must irregular Passen- ger Trains be run at a speed exceeding fifteen miles an hour on straight lines of one mile and over. When on eurves or straight lines under one mile, their speed shall in no case exceed four miles an hour. Risk of collision must at all times be avoided.

21. If an obstruction or accident on the Road makes it necessary to move an engine or train in the wrong direction, the utmost caution must be used; and unless a special arrangement shall have been made for that engine or train by the Superintend- ent of Division, or his Master of Transportation, the Conductor of the obstructed train, or in his absence the Engineman, before the engine is moved, shall send a flagman, or some other competent person, with danger signals not less than 600 yards in advance in the direction in which the train or engine is to be backed or moved. Whilst moving, the Engineman shall frequently sound his whistle, and shall run at a speed not exceeding four miles per hour, so as to enable the signal man to keep not less than 600 yards in advance. The train or engine thus moved must only be backed or run to the next station.


22. They must not throw off pieces of wood from the engine or tender, between stations; if wood is found too large to enter the furnace door, it must be carried to the next Wood Station, where it can be used for station purposes.


23. They must use every precaution against fire in dry weather, or when passing bridges, buildings, woods or fields, where combustible matter abounds.


24. They must not throw from the engine burn- ing cotton waste, rags or hot cinders.


THE OPERATION OF TRAINS IN WAR TIMES.


The two pages of printed matter here reproduced are photographed from the official book of rules and regulations issued by the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad in 1862 for the information and guidance of its trainmen. The reprinted instructions are amusing when compared with the regulations of to- day. The book from which the pages are reproduced is the property of G. P. Davis.


The bitterness of party strife during the congressional cam- paign of 1862 revealed itself in many riots of more or less signifi-

and the sound of fife and rolling drum became the commonplace order of things. The enrolling office was in charge of Charles Hanna, L. T. Bourie, Joseph Price and Henry Tons. The town was thronged with recruits from all parts of northeastern Indiana and the neigh- boring states of Ohio and Michigan. William Williams (later con- gressman from the Fort Wayne district) was appointed commander of Camp Allen, with authority to raise troops, and within a period


of six weeks four new regiments were in the field.

cance. Many were believed to be engaged in giving secret aid to the south, and, whether true or not, the suspicion added fuel to the fire of party strife. On one occasion a large crowd of political boosters, each member wearing a butternut shell as a party emblem, came from Warsaw. A political opponent tore the badge from the coat of one of the visitors, and a rough scene on Calhoun street followed, ending with the disappearance of the visitors, who found difficulty in reaching their train.


While Carl Schurz was engaged in delivering a political address at Colerick's hall, a cabbage head, hurled at him through an open window, missed the speaker and struck Judge Peter P. Bailey, who occupied a seat on the platform.


THE FIRST POLICE FORCE.


The year 1863 brought to Fort Wayne its first regularly organ- ized police force. The council named Conrad Pens as "captain of the night watch," with John Sullivan, John Phillabaum and William Shopman patrolmen, to serve "from twilight to daybreak." The first police station was located on Court street, opposite the court- house; it contained three iron cages on the main floor, with upper rooms for the reception of female law violators. Says the Sentinel :


"We trust the police will exert themselves to keep the city in order and quiet after nightfall and render it safe for pedestrians to perambulate the streets once more without providing themselves with arms and bludgeons. We call the especial attention of rowdies, shoulder-hitters, barn-burners and rag and bobtails generally to this long-desired step of the council."


OLD FORT PARK.


The development of the present splendid park system of the city of Fort Wayne represents a continued and ofttimes discouraging effort extending over a half a century. The first piece of ground to be acquired for park purposes was the fractional lot No. 40, Taber's addition to Fort Wayne, purchased from Harry Seymour for $800. The little triangular spot-one-fifth of an acre-is the most treas- ured bit of ground in Fort Wayne, as it was a part of the site en- closed within the historic old Fort Wayne.


Henry M. Williams later placed about the tract an iron fence and erected in the park a flagpole.


THE FIRST AND HAMILTON NATIONAL BANK.


The First and Hamilton National bank had its beginning in 1861, when J. D. Nuttman, of Decatur, Ind., opened the Citizens' bank, a private institution, with W. B. Fisher as his assistant. Im- mediately after the passage of the national banking act in 1863 Mr. Nuttman became associated with Samuel Hanna, upon whose advice he organized a national bank to succeed the Citizens'. The applica- tion for a charter was the first from Indiana and the sixth in the na- tion to be filed with the comptroller. The First National bank was chartered in May, 1863, with J. D. Nuttman president, Samuel Hanna vice-president and W. B. Fisher cashier. The directors were J. D. Nuttman, Joseph Brackenridge, John Brown, John Orff, John M. Miller, Amos S. Evans, Warren H. Withers, Frederick Nirdlinger
