This nobleman, the early patron of Washington, emigrating to Virginia after these settlements bad been made in good faith, was able, by a construc- tion of the terms of the Culpepper grant, which he inherited, to include them within the bounds of one of his great manors. The surveys for this purpose were made by Washington in 1748, and were f l- lowed by a general exodus of the original settlers, who deeply resented the injustice of their treat- ment.

Through his mother, Mr. Ward was descended from Daniel Dod, a settler at Branford, Conn., about the your 1646, two of whose sons were among the early colonists of Newark, N. J., whence & branch of the family removed to Mendham about 1745. This branch of the Dod family has been long noted for the possession of rare mathematical and mechanical ability. This talent is u a large extent inherited, descending from father to son and developing from generation to generation.

Daniel Dod, whose son was the dutinguished Professor Dod, of Princeton, removed, in the year 1812, from Mendham, where, up to that time, he had been engaged with his two brothers in the business handed down to them by the father, Leb- beus Dod, of manufacturing mathematical instru- ments, clocks and light machinery. He established hims If at Elizabethtown N. J., where, with the aid of capital which was furnished him, he erected work-shops for the construction of machinery for

steamboats, and in 1818 titted out the "Savannah," the first vessel which crossed the Atlantic by the aid w'steam.

New Jersey was closely identified with the early progress of steam navigation. Her Legislature had been the first to encourage Fitch, a former resident of the State, who, in 1757, had constructed the first prac- ticible steamboat on the Delaware. Stevens, of Ho- boken, contested with Fulton the honor of introducing the steam vessel of the present day in 1x07, aud Fulton's work-shops were located at Jersey City. It should also be noted that Gibbons, of Elizabethtown, in I >24, obtained the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States terminating the celebrated steamboat controversy. This decision threw open the waters of every State to all stram vessels licensed according to the laws of the United States, and broke up the monopoly granted to Fulton by the State of New York.

The great value of the new means of transportation had in 1812 begun to be generally recognized, and Dod, whose scientific knowledge, combined with rare mechanical genius, soon won for him a wide reputa- tion, was called upon to supply machinery for steam- boats upon many of the chief rivers and inland waters of the country. The erection of such machinery, at a distance from the works, could be intrusted only to trained aud capable assistants, in whose fidelity and efficiency full confidence was felt. It was in this ca- pacity that Mr. Ward, who was a nephew of Dod, entered active life at twenty-one, having had the ad- vantage of a thorough previous apprenticeship in mechanics.

The experience gained in two years of this employ- ment, during which he put steamboats in operation at New Orleans, at Norfolk, Va., on Lake Ontario and on Lake Champlain, decided Mr. Ward to set up for himself as a manufacturer of steamboat machinery in Canada, where it was evident to him that steam navi- gation must assume great importance.

As early as 1809 a steamboat had been placed upon the St. Lawrence by John Molson, a wealthy and en- terprising citizen of Montreal, whose name is insep- arably connected with its commercial and business history. Others followed, and, in 1817, Molson had a regular line of passenger steamers plying between Montreal and Quebec. No steam-engine had ever been constructed in the province, and these vessels had been equipped with English machinery.

The current of the river opposite Montreal is swift, and the attempt, it ever made, to stem the rapid- immediately above the city by the steamboats in use had failed, and the idea was considered imprac- ticable Mr. Ward, in 1815, after visiting Montreal and studying the problem, concluded that the river channel could be readily cleared of obstructions, and offered to guarantee that a steamboat built after his plans, and for which he would himself furnish the machinery, should ascend against the current. Pro-

ceeding with his task, he rented shop-room, employed a few workmen, and in the following year, according to contract, the steamer was completed and trial of it made.

The following graphie account of this event, by an eye witness, was published in the Montreal Star in 1×81 :

"In 1×18, John D. Ward, an American, a quiet, der-faced young man, arrived in this city and went to work in Allian, Turner & Co.'s foundry, and being very enterprising, established the next year the Eagle Foundry for binself. He spent a week in sounding the channel above the city, and declared a boat could be built which would go to Laprairie, Ile got a few capitaliets interested in the inntter, and a steam- 1. at was built under his directions, he himself constructing the engine. One fine afternoon in the summer of 1×19 it was announced that the steamboat " Montreal " would make a trip to Laprairie and lassk, and a great crowd assembled on the river-bank, every one, even old John Molson, saying she would never make the passage. She started, how - ever, und after two or thre . hours' watching by the incredulous crowd, it was sou that she had passed the " Trois Roches ' and reached her destination. It was then said that she would scrund on her downward passage, but she arrived safely, and steamboats have run regularly to Laprairie during the summer season ever since."

It is not difficult to see what an influence such a snecess would exert on the future of Mr. Ward, and how it gave shape to his after-years of usefulness in the profession which he had adopted, and to which he was thenceforth to devote the energies of his life. The reputation gained by this first achievement was confirmed by others of more actual importance, and Mr. Ward became, by univeral consent, the highest authority in Canada upon all mechanical subjects. He remained at the head of the Eagle Foundry until 1×29, when, relinquishing it to his brothers, whom he had some years before associated with him in the business, he returned to the United States, and settled in Vermont, where he proceeded at once to build up large works at Vergennes for the production of crude iron and castings. These works he sold advan- tageously a few years later, and sought a larger stage of action in the city of New York, where for some years he was the senior partner in the Novelty Iron Works, then the leading engineering establishment of America. He was, almost simultaneously with his removal to New York, appointed by Governor Seward one of the commissioners for the introduction of the Croton water into that city, an enterprise in which he took an active and important part. Subsequently he removed to Jersey City, where he established the Atlas Foundry, and was the founder of the Jersey City Water-Works, to which his name and memory will forever be attached.

In many respects Mr. Ward was a remarkable mau. It has been truly said of him that his "scientifie, me- chanical and business traits were calculated to give him prominence in any community. He was intlu- enced by the highest motives of integrity and honor. Punctual and exaet in all his dealings, he expected and demanded the same of others. He was a great disciplinarian. Everything went by rule." He took a deep interest in public affairs ; but, though always ready to lend his time and talents for the benefit of

1149

JERSEY CITY,

the community in which he lived, he declined, it's a rule, to be a candidate for public honors, and during a residence in Jersey City of nearly thirty years, only vielded once to the persuasions of his friends so far as to serve a term in the State Legislature. Ile was a clear, forcible and accurate writer, and his professional reports and occasional papers were models of composi- tion. Ilis ambition lay in the pursuit of science, and few sons of New Jersey have won a more enviable fame.

Fire Department .- The paid Fire Department of Jersey City was organized June 6, 1873, Quickly sue- ceeding the consolidation of the cities. JJohn Coyle was the first chief. From the time of its organization to the present the department has undergone nuun r- ous improvements and increased in efficiency and discipline. The following persons have served as commissioners: John Boyd, Monzo B. Dean, Dudley S. Gregory, Jr., Thours W. Tilden, JJohn II. Carnes, John B. Drayton, Samuel W. Stilsing, Thon as Speers, John S.

The place is commonly known as the " Abattoir," and was orig- inally located at Communipaw, it being established there in October, 1866. In consequence of the increase of business, more convenient quarters were required. The present location, on the shore of Harsimus Cove, at the foot of sixth Street, Jersey City, was selected, and the works removed to that place in January, 1874, where they cover a vast area of land and water, the entire construction being on the most improved scientific principles.

THE HOME OF THE HOMELESS, On Ninth Street, of - posite Hamilton Park, is an admirable and useful institution, founded by Mrs. H. M. Dunning, its present superintendent, in March, 1553. Its object is to help respectable men and women who are left with small children. Children can be left at the Home during the day, week or month, and the parent is charged only what he or she may be able to pay. The de- frieney is made up by voluntary subscriptions. About two hundred children have been cared for since the Home was opened, and at least fifty mothers have been helped. There are now about twenty-five chil- dren who receive the benefit of the Home, and their parents are thus enabled to perform work which would be impossible were they not relieved of the care of their children.

John Celebration of the Centennial Anniversary of the Battle of Paulus Hook .- The greatest gala-day which the people of Jersey City ever enjoyed was the 19th of August, 1879, when, in commemoration of " Light-Horse" Harry Lee's audacious attack upon the British at Paulus Hook, a hundred years before. an unusually enthusiastic demonstration was made and a universal holiday indulged in. The chief exercises were instructive as well as enjoyable, and led many S. Smith, David (. Joyce, Charles Stier, Otto W. Meyer, Edward P. Eastwick, J. H. Gautier, Benjamin Gregory, Charles Somers, E.

At sun- rise ringing bells, sounding whistles and booming cannon awakened the people of the city and of the western side of New York, and reminded them that the long-looked-for day had come. Every flagstaff in the city threw its banner to the breeze, and the masts and rigging of the ships and steamers on the Jersey side were liberally decked with bunting. Even the ferry-boats were gaily decorated. Business was gen- erally suspended, and at an early hour the streets were alive with men, women and children in their holiday attire.
