the purchase of another engine was advocated, and, through the efforts of Mr. Crook, No. 4, a piano-en- gine, was purchased at Newark, where it was known as " Dutch Four." A new company, known as " Her- cules, No. 4," was organized, with Joseph Conlt as foreman, and S. C. Randall assistant foreman.

A few weeks later Pemberton B. Horton formed a company for Neptune, No. 3. Mr. Horton was elected foreman, Robert R. Gray assistant foreman, Henry C. Bonnell secretary, and Oakley B. Pellet treasurer. In 1864 the company abandoned the old "goose-neck," and with the assistance of the town purchased No. 7 of Newark. At that time this engine was considered one of the finest hand-engines in the State. It was a piano make, and was heavily ornamented with silver.

The organization was completed by the appoint- ment of Charles Crook, as chief engineer, by Charles Rorbach, president of the fire board. This board was elected by the property-owners in April of each year.

This department was finely equipped, and was very active until Nov. 21, 1866, a number of fires occur- ring on Spring Street. Between the hours of 11 P.M. on the 21st and 11 A.M. on the 22d of November, 1866, there were three fires, the first destroying three stables in the rear of English's blacksmith-shop, with the contents, including two horses and a cow. The second fire was in Tilman & Davidson's clothing- store, which was extingnished after the stock had been badly damaged. The third was at No. 3's en- gine-house. The building caught from the stove while several of the members were engaged in oiling the old leather hose in an adjoining yard. The engine was badly damaged, but the boys succeeded in res- cuing it from the building, and while No. 4 was en- gaged in saving the engine-house and lecture-room of the Presbyterian church No. 3 did effective work in saving the church, which was on fire twice.

During the organization of this department a re- vival meeting was conducted in No. 3's house by Dr. Thomas Ryerson, which resulted in the conversion of one of the members.

On Nov. 27, 1866, at a meeting of the citizens, it was voted to purchase ground and erect a new engine- house. A site was obtained on High Street, and a brick building erected ; on its completion it was occu- pied by No. 4. An effort was made at this time to purchase a hook-and-ladder truck, but failed.

April 10, 1867, the property-owners voted to dis- pose of No. 7. It was sold to Morristown, and after- wards to New York parties, who shipped it to Brazil.

July 25, 1867, Company No. 3 held a meeting in Cannon's Hall, and voted to disband. No. 4 also dis- banded a few weeks later.

Oct. 19, 1867, a fire broke out in Gillam's uphol- stery room, on Spring Street, and No. 4 was taken to the scene by the citizens. It was found to be out of order, and a bucket brigade was formed and the fire extinguished with pails of water.

From this time until I873 there was no organized

department. Chief Engineer Crook, however, had charge of No. 4 and the old "goose-neck," both of which are still in possession of the town.

HISTORY OF THE PRESENT DEPARTMENT.

On the morning of Sept. 22, 1873, the town was visited by the most destructive fire in its history. It originated in the drug-store of George L. Smith, ou Main Street, and the flames were not subdued until the buildings of Mr. Smith, W. W. Woodward, Mrs. R. Cramer, Dr. R. A. Sheppard, and Dennis Cochran were destroyed. The loss was about $65,000. The hand-engines were brought to the scene, but were of little service, the citizens becoming exhausted after a few minutes' work at the brakes, and the old leather hose being too rotten to stand the pressure of a stream. Aid was telegraphed for to Morristown and Hoboken. Steamer Company No. I, of Hoboken, an- swered the call, arriving in Newton about 5 A.M. The danger was past, but the steamer was fired up and a stream thrown on the smouldering ruins. This was the first steamer in the town, and the people were so much pleased with its workings that it was decided on the spot that the town must have a steamer. On the 23d the town committee, consisting of Martin Rosenkrans, Dr. Levi D. Miller, Joseph Warbasse, A. W. Price, and Emanuel Ackerson, held a meeting, and voted to purchase a steamer and 1000 feet of hose.

On the 24th, Martin Rosenkrans and Chief Engi- neer Crook visited Paterson and other cities, in- speeting the different make of steamers, and finally purchased of Clapp & Jones, of Hudson, N. Y., a handsome fourth-class steamer that had been built expressly for exhibition at the New York State Fair; 800 feet of rubber hose was also purchased. The total cost was $5000.

September 30th the town committee appointed the following officers and members to constitute the de- partment : Chief Engineer, Charles Crook ; Assistant Chief, John Hemingway. Officers of the company : Foreman, M. R. Snyder; Assistant Foreman, Coulter Cannon ; Engineer, Henry C. Bonnell ; First Assist- unt, Dr. John J. Case; Second Assistant, Stephen Nor- ris; Third Assistant, Charles S. Steele; Stoker, Charles MeCollum; Assistant, John Massaker. Twenty-right members were appointed, but only the following served : L. L. Davenport, C. K. Foster, C. M. Wood- ruff, W. D. Steele, J. L. Hallock, William F. Howell, Andrew Phillips, William Farrell, George Winter- mnte, Wesley Trusdell, G. B. Dunning, George Frace, Peter Ilough, J. D. Simmons, Thomas E. Smith, G. W. Dawkins, Theodore Simonson.

At the first meeting, October 2d, the organization was completed by the election of C. K. Foster as sec- retary, and W. D. Steele treasurer. W. S. Layton was also elected stoker, in place of Charles MeCollum resigned. October 17th a constitution and by-laws were adopted, and twenty new members elected to take the place of those who refused to serve.

The steamer arrived October 9th, and the day fol- lowing a public trial took place. Horizontal streams were thrown 265 and 229 feet, through 150 and 800 feet of hose, and a perpendicular stream over 218 feet.

At the first annual meeting of the company, held Oct. 3, 1874, Henry C. Bonnell was elected foreman, and was re-elected yearly for six years, until October, 1880. At the last annual meeting, having become exempt by seven years' service, he declined a re-elec- tion, and a committee consisting of Charles E. Dema- rest, Richard Redhead, and F. Ingersoll was ap- pointed to draft resolutions, which were hand-omely engrossed and presented to him.

The present officers of the company are as follows : Foreman, R. F. Goodman, succeeding Coulter Can- non as assistant foreman in 1877, the latter at that time being appointed assistant chief engineer ; As- sistant Foreman, Charles E. Demarest; Secretary, William H. Nichols ; Treasurer, Richard Redhead. MI. R. Snyder was appointed assistant chief engineer November, 1874, and served until the summer of 1877. Charles S. Steele, the present engineer, has faithfully served the company in that capacity for six years, being re-elected each year without opposition.

The following have also served as officers since the organization :

Secretaries .- Charles MI. Woodruff, Charles D. Thompson, I. L. Hallock, John P. Pellet, Charles E. Demarest.

Treasurers,-C. K. Foster, R. F. Goodman, C. S. Steele, Harry Lindstey. Assistent Engineers .- C. 31. Woodruff, Jacob Bryant, George Demarest, R. F. Goodman, Fred Loges, Frauk Losee, John R. Booth. Stokers .- William S. Layton, Fred Loges, Frank Losec.

Assistant Stokers .- Fred Loges, Frank Losoe, Wallace Myers.

KITTATINNY HOSE COMPANY.

Oct. 24, 1873, twenty members were appointed by the foreman of the steamer company to act as hose- men, with Wesley Trusdell as foreman. The hosemen had charge of a large two-wheeled jumper.

Both companies held meetings together, and were virtually one company. Mr. Trusdell held the fore- manship until October, 1876, when George Vangilder was elected, with E. B. Wilkinson as assistant fore- man.

At the annual meeting in 1878 the hose company withdrew from the steamer company, and became a separate company. The officers were George Van Gilder, Foreman ; Lewis M. Morford, Assistant Fore- man; 1. L. Hallock, Secretary; John C. Howell, Treas- urer. These officers were continued in otlice until January, 1880, when Lewis M. Morford was elected foreman, and Harry O. Ryerson assistant foreman.

The present officers are: Foreman, Harry O. Ryer- son ; Assistant Foreman, I. L. Hallock; Secretary. Isaac De Kay ; Treasurer, James E. Baldwin.

In September, 1879, the hose company purchased a fine parade-carriage of Humane Steamer Company, of Easton. The original cost of the carriage is re- ported at $2500, and it was at one time owned by a Philadelphia company. It was ou exhibition at the

SUSSEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.

Centennial in Philadelphia in 1876, and took the first premium.

Sept. 16, 1874, the steamer company visited Morris- town and participated in the annual parade of that department as the guests of Independent Hose Com- pany. The following Christmas a committee of the steamer company visited Morristown and presented the Independents with a handsome silver pitcher.

Oct. 8, 1875, the department held its first parade. Independent Hose Company of Morristown and Hoboken Steamer Company, No. 1, participated, the former the gnest of the steamer company, and the latter of the hand-engine company, No. 4, which had been reorganized with E. A. Vernon as foreman, and M. R. Shiner as assistant foreman. The parade was witnessed by over 7000 people.

On Christmas day, 1875, a committee from Inde- pendent Hose Company of Morristown visited New- ton and presented the steamer company with a hand- some pair of silver parade-trumpets.

Oct. 2, 1879, the steamer company participated in the annual parade of the Middletown, N. Y., firemen as the guests of Monhagen Hose Company. The same day Kittatinny Hose Company were the guests of In- dependent Hose Company of Morristown, and par- ticipated in the annual parade at that place.

Jan. 30, 1880, a committee from the steamer com- pany visited Middletown and presented Monhagen Hose Company with a handsome swinging silver pit- cher and goblets.

March 15, 1880, a committee of Kittatinny Hose Company visited Morristown and presented Inde- pendent Hose Company with a set of beautiful jar- dinieres.

Feb. 19, 1880, Chief Engineer Crook was presented with an elegant gold badge by Kittatinny Hose Com- pany.

Sept. 30, 1880, the department celebrated its sev- enth year of service-known as " exempt year"-by a grand parade. Visiting companies were present from Middletown and Warwick, N. Y., Dover, Morristown, and Hoboken. The parade was one of the most im- posing that ever occurred in Northern New Jersey. The public and private buildings were bedecked with bunting and flags. At least 6000 people, coming from all parts of Sussex, Morris, Warren, and Orange Counties, witnessed the parade. The visiting com- panies were handsomely entertained by the home firemen, including the hand-engine company, No. 4, which had been again reorganized, with John M. Law as foreman.

Jan. 4, 1881, a delegation of Independent Hose Company of Morristown visited Kittatinny Hose Com- pany, and presented them with a beautiful marble clock and side ornaments, valued at $100.

EXEMPT FIREMEN.

The following is a list of the firemen who were ex- empt at the time of the parade, Sept. 30, 1880: Chief

Engineer Crook, Assistant Chief Cannon, Foreman H. C. Bonnell, Engineer Charles S. Steele, C. K. Foster, W. D. Steele, I. L. Hallock, W. F. Howell, G. B. Dunning, George Frace.

Up to Feb. 1, 1881, the following additional men- bers had become exempt : Thomas G. Bunnell, Joseph Pool, Jacob Bryant, Richard F. Goodman, J. W. Cri- gar, Ira Moore, Jr., Thomas Ryerson, Henry N. Dun- lap, George Van Gilder, George Wilkinson, Edward Williams, Charles D. Thompson, George Hardin, Lewis M. Morford.

FIRES.

From the organization of the department, in 1873, up to Feb. 1, 1881, forty alarms were responded to, as follows: 1873, 3; 1874, 3; 1875, 3; 1876, 4; 1877, 1; 1878, 4; 1879, 3; 1880, 15 .* Two of the alarms were out of town,-one at Andover, the other at Branch- ville. The former was responded to, but for the latter place no transportation could be procured.

The fire in 1877 was at Clark's furniture store, on Park Place; two firemen were injured by a falling wall. Seven men, in charge of the pipe on Simon- son's law-office roof, had a narrow escape from death. The minutes of the company say, " Foreman H. C. Bonnell noticed the swaying of the wall and ordered the men from the roof. While three of the men were still on the ladder the wall fell, crushing through the roof just left by the firemen, and instantly killing S. Halstead Shafer, who was in the office." Theodore Morford and Hubbard Stevens, who were in the office with Mr. Shafer, had a narrow escape. Both were seriously injured, and were confined to their homes for several weeks.

Oct. 6, 1880, the most destructive conflagration since the organization of the department occurred. At 9.10 P.M. a fire broke out in the barn of Huston & Van Blarcom, in the rear of their store, and, fanned by a high wind, spread rapidly, consuming the car- penter-shop of S. S. Cook and three adjoining stables, including James L. Northrup's livery-stable. At one time thirteen buildings were on fire, and it was feared the whole block of stores would be destroyed, with the Cochran Honse. The firemen were compelled to fight the fire behind a barricade, owing to the intense heat. The property saved on this occasion alone more than repaid the whole cost of the steamer and depart- ment since its organization.

The department has lost but one active member, Marion N. Smith, a member of Kittatinny Hose Company.

CHARLES CROOK.

Benjamin and Mary (Taylor) Crook, the parents ot Charles, were both born in Chatham, county of Kent, England,-the former in 1800, the latter in 1806,-

* The Andover fire is not recorded, and also three other alarms,-one at Mr. Hill's house, in South Newton, one at the old Methodist Episcopal church, on Division Street, and one caused by the burning of wood along the Sussex Railroad track.

and married in the city of London, where they re- sided for a time afterwards, and in 1829 emigrated to America, bringing their only son, Alfred, then about one year old, with them. They settled at Middletown

Charles Grosse

Point, now Matawan, Monmouth Co., N. J., where Mr. Crook carried on the business of a baker until his decease, in 1843. His wife died in February, 1881. They had three children born in Matawan,-Charles, Eliza, and Thaddeus,-all of whom are living.

Charles Crook was born June 7, 1831, and during his minority served an apprenticeship as a marble- cutter. He married, February, 1852, Mary A. Vang- han, of Hightstown, N. J., who has borne him two children,-viz., William A. and Charles B. In 1854 he removed to Newton, N. J., and after working for a short time for the estate of Daniel Baker, carrying on the marble business left by him at his death, he purchased and has since continued to manage it. Hc became a member of the "Neptune Fire Company, No. 3," of Newton, in 1855; shortly afterwards was elected foreman, which position he filled with great credit until he was elected chief engineer, a few years afterwards, and has discharged the duties of this office since.

Mr. Crook's service in the department has been so efficient and so satisfactory to the people of Newton and members of the fire department that to write a history of his connection with the company, narra- ting his fearlessness in times of extreme danger, his promptness to every enll, his superior judgment in times of ditheulty, in planning the work of the com-

pany to quench the destructive element and save property, is to give a complete account of the fire de- partment since he became connected with it.

BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION.

Feb. 24, 1876, the firemen organized a Firemen's Benevolent Association, under the laws of the State. The officers were : President, George Hardin; Vice- President, Henry C. Bonnell; Secretary, George Van Gilder ; Treasurer, W. D. Stecle. There are also three trustees, one elected each year for a term of three years. Since 1877 the officers have been : President, Henry C. Bonnell; Vice-President, R. F. Goodman ; Secretary, George Van Gilder ; Treasurer, Charles S. Steele, sinee 1878.

The funds of the association, up to Jan. 1, 1881, amounted to $450, which is derived from the insur- ance companies paying to the treasurer two per cent. on the amount of risks taken in the town. The fund can be used only for benevolent purposes.

FIRE WARDENS.

The officers of the fire wardens the first year were: Foreman, James W. Crigar; Assistant, David Conse, Jr. ; Clerk, Andrew H. Konkle; Treasurer, Samuel Johnson. The present officers (1881) are: Foreman, David Couse; AAssistant Foreman, Hiram C. Clark ; Clerk, Andrew H. Konkle ; Treasurer, MI. R. Snyder.

FIRE PATROL.

" The Board of Fire Patrol of the Newton Fire De- partment" was organized June 7, 1875, and reorganized Feb. 23, 1880. It is established under a legislative en- actment approved March 14, 1879. This defines the (Inty of the fire patrol " to be present at all fires within the limits of such fire department, and take charge of all goods and chattels that may be removed from buildings in consequence of such fire, and keep the same under their care and protection until the same ean be de- livered to the owners thereof, and shall, during the continuanee of such fire . . . have the power of con- stables, and may arrest, without warrant, any person interfering with said goods, and take such person be- fore any justice of the peace of the county where ap- prehended, to be dealt with necording to law."

The members of the patrol, with the dates of their election, are :

June 7, 1875 .- James W. Crlgar, Frank M. Ward, Hiram C. Clark, George Hardin, Charles Arvis, Thomas Decker, Samuel Johnson, Simeon S. Couk, Thomas G. Hunnell, Whitman D. Steele.

SUSSEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.

IX .- HOTELS.

The first inns were those of Henry Hairlocker and Thomas Woolverton, who were licensed in 1753 at the first court held in the county. Of that of the former there is nothing known further than the fact already stated. Of that of the latter there is a better knowl- edge. What names it may have borne before or who may have been the intervening landlords (if any) is not known, but it was later called the "County Hotel," and was kept by Isaac Bassett, whose wife was a Woolverton. He was succeeded by Daniel Harker (who moved the building), the Widow Mackey, Benjamin T. Hunt, Theodore Allison, David D. Chandler, Samuel Rorbach, Andrew Shiner, Mr. Hol- loway, John Stoll, and Redmond Ward. It stood facing the park and burned down in 1857, at which time William Fox was proprietor.

In 1815, Job Bates kept tavern in a yellow house on Main Street, facing the green, where are now the resi- dences of Dr. R. A. Sheppard and Mrs. A. Cummins. It was a frame with a brick front, and was burned down about 1874.

The "Gold Eagle Hotel" was kept by William I. Bassett from 1817, or earlier, until 1820, or later. In the fall of 1827 it was removed to make room for the present residence of Charles L. Inslee.

Jason King opened a tavern in 1820. It was kept later by his brother Justus ; then by Lewis De Camp, Moore Armstrong, John Warbasse, R. Washer, and David Cox. Redmond Ward was proprietor about 1857, and his daughter Maria was his successor; she married Peter Hoppaugh, and it later became the Hoppaugh House.

The "Phillips Hotel," now a part of the Durling House, was kept in 1818 by Hezekiah Phillips and his brother Joseph. They also owned a 50-acre tract of land, a saw-mill, distillery, and tannery.

ICOCHRAN HOUSE.

COCHRAN HOUSE.

The "Cochran House" was erected in 1842 by Dennis Cochran, then owner of considerable real estate along Spring Street. The first landlord was Isaac Bassett ; his successors have been Nathan Drake, Dennis Cochran, Sherwood & Conger, Newman E.

Benjamin, Jacob Konkle, Thomas Armstrong, Sher- wood & Haynes, Sherwood, Henry M. Ward, Ward & Kelsey, Henry M. Clark, John N. Clark in 1879, the present host.

The " Anderson House" was converted into a hotel about 1852, and its first proprietor was Newman E. Benjamin.

The " Ward House," Henry Ward, below the court- house, was in 1857 transformed into a hotel by Dr. Franklin Smith.

The "National Hotel," near the depot, and built by Jacob Cummins, was opened as a hotel by him. Jesse Ward was proprietor at one time, also his son, and Col. J. G. Fitts. It is now owned and rnn by William E. Ricker.

X .- INDUSTRIAL.

Daniel Symmes, son of Judge Timothy Symmes, was a silversmith in Newton during the latter part of the last century. In 1793 he sold a lot near the court-house to John Cleve Symmes,* which estab- lished his identity with the place at that time.

In 1820 the principal manufacture of the village was that of hats, in which Pettit Britton and David Kerr were engaged, employing from ten to twenty hands. The factory was located on Church Street.

The first newspaper in Newton-and the first in the county-was the Farmers' Journal and Newton Ad- vertiser, which first appeared Jan. 8, 1796, published by Elliott Hopkins and William Huston. It lived only a few years.t

The first stage from Newton, via Morristown, to Elizabethtown Polnt, was established by Basset, Brit- ton & Hinchman. It was a two-horse vehicle, and Zephaniah Luce, who was one of the drivers, later became one of the proprieters. The three enterpris- ing proprietors of this line-Isaac Basset, Pettit Britton, and James Hinchman-were all prominent in the early day. It was finally merged into the Owego line.

A saw-mill formerly stood on the Phillips property, later owned by E. C. Moore, deceased. No trace of it except the race-way now exists.

A distillery operated by several different parties was built about 1820. The old still-house is now a barn on the property of the late E. C. Moore.

The first brickyard was located on the Amos Pettit farm, now owned by the Horton estate. In 1818, where now are Francis Graey's and Widow Mary Johnson's residences was burned the brick for George II. McCarter's (now David Thompson's) house. It was operated only for that special occasion.

" This lot passed through the hands of several celebrated personages. In 1794, Judge John Clove Symmes conveyed it to his daughter, who be- came the wife of Presidont William Ilenry Harrison, and in 1802 it be- came the property of Judge John Holmes, grandfather of Judge D. S. Anderson. It afterwards came into the possession of Col. Pemberton, who died upon it, in 1817.

+ For later established papers see the general chapter upon the " Press of Sussex County."

285

NEWTON.

The steam-mill is said to be the only grist-mill that ever existed in the town of Newton. It was erected in 1850 by Moses Northrup. It was burned, rebuilt, and operated for a while, but has been idle for years.

XI .- MILITARY.

The first company raised in Newton during the war of the Rebellion was recruited in April, 1861. The call for three months' men being filled, this company was not mustered into the service. Most of the men, however, enlisted for three years in Co. D, Third Regiment New Jersey Volunteers, under Capt. Fitts. It is said that inside of one hour seventy-two persons signed the roll on Newton Green.

The original muster-roll of the three months' men is now in the possession of Thomas G. Bunnell, hav- ing been recently presented to him by Col. Fitts. It is headed "Muster Roll of Union Company, A Regi- ment, 4th Brigade." The words in italics are written in the blanks of the printed heading, which briefly records that

" The undersigned hereby enlist in the militia of New Jersey, for ac- tive service, subject to the commands of the commander-in-chief of New Jersey and of the commander-in-chief of the militin of the United States, for the term of three months, nulexy sooner discharged."
