THE NATIONAL IRON-WORKS .- They were estab- lished by Elijah Kelly in 1847. About nine lots were secured on New Neilson, Morris, and John Streets. He carried on this important and extensive manu- factory, and gradually enlarging it, until Jan. 1, 1870, when he sold ont to his son, William E. Kelly, who changed the name from the Eagle Foundry and Ma- chine-Works to the National Iron-Works. Under the new energetic management the works have gone on enlarging and increasing in efficiency, until now with a large force of men nearly five hundred tons of pig iron are used up during the year.

The works are particularly adapted to making heavy machinery, and for years have made a specialty of rubber-goods machinery, such as that used in the manufacture of rubber boots and shoes, belting, pack- ing-hose, car-springs, etc., and hard rubber. They now manufacture a great proportion of the machinery for the United States, nearly every rubber factory in the country containing some of their production ; be- sides which they make all the machinery for the New Jersey brick-yards, and besides numerous other ma- chinery for manufacturing purposes in this city and distant places. As a specimen of what they do in

the National Iron-Works, they have turned out as many as fifty thousand pieces used in the manufac- ture of sewing-machines, and as a specimen of their heavy castings we may mention a rubber-machine weighing forty thousand pounds, and a powder-ma- chine weighing sixty thousand pounds, which we saw under way in our visits to the works. The works are heated by steam, lighted with gas, supplied with city water, and well sewered, while the protection against fire is well-nigh perfect. Hose is ready in every part of the works with attachment pipes near, while pipes are laid throughout the building, so that any floor can be flooded in a few minutes by merely pull- ing a wire on the bottom floor, giving a great advan- tage in case a fire should gain headway up-stairs before discovery. And such is a brief account of one of our largest manufactories, whose machines supply many of our city factories, may be found in most of the rubber factories in the United States, and have been sent to Montreal, London, Manchester, Edin- burgh, St. Petersburg, and to cities in France, South America, and Panama.

CARRIAGE MANUFACTORY .- At the head of the industries for antiquity stands the carriage manufac- tory of Lyle Van Nuis. In the year 1810-11 his father, John Van Nuis, but recently deceased, having learned his trade of a Mr. Rowland (grandfather of William Rowland, Esq.), at his place on the corner of Rich- mond and Dennis Streets, left the paternal mansion on Livingston Avenue, the Van Nuis farm, against his conservative parent's advice, and built a carriage- factory on Albany Street. It consisted of several frame buildings ranged around a quadrangle on the south side of thoroughfare; the woodwork, black- smithing, trimming, and painting each having a sep- arate building, while in front there was a large bnild- ing used as the repository for finished work. This carriage-house in 1839, upon the removal of the factory, was remodeled into the present substantial residence, and Mr. Van Nuis afterwards erected the other two houses nextit. After the establishment of the factory Mr. Van Nuis joined the late Col. Scott's light infantry in the war of 1812, and the business was carried on by a partner. Upon his return in 1813 many of his carriages were sent to the South, and the name of Van Nuis carriages in 1840 was in general repute all over the Southern States. Soon after the three sons, Lyle, Robert, and James, joined with their father under the name of Van Nuis & Sons. Later the firm became L. J. & R. Van Nuis, then J. R. & J. Van Nuis, then L. & J. Van Nuis, and since 1867, Lyle Van Nuis alone, James having died in 1867.

This reputation of thorough excellence has been borne down to the present, and among the fine assort- ment of exceedingly handsome carriages on hand now not one inferior one can be found. The factory of Lyle Van Nuis, Nos. 33 and 35 Washington Street, can be confidently recommended as one not surpassed in the

reputation and quality of its work, nor in the length of its term of favor, by any State or county.

SASH AND BLIND FACTORY .- The sash and blind factory of William S. Van Doren, situated midway between Morris and Somerset Streets, on Neilson Street near Oliver Street, is nearly a score of years old, having been started by William Wright about the year 1852. After ten years' operations Mr. Van Doren succeeded him, the date being 1866, and for the six years following he has gone on enlarging his works and increasing their capacity to double what it was when he took charge of them. November, 1872, he received a serious check by a fire which burned through half his premises, yet he pluckily had the factory in operation again within a month, and it has since been running. The business includes lumber- dressing, sawing, turning, moulding, and sash and blind making. Mr. Van Doren, previous to his beginning the business, had more than fifteen years' experience in the carpenter trade, and is therefore ready to give plans and advice to all who propose building, as well as to prepare the materials. Over two hundred thou- sand feet of lumber is used, coming in the rough, and go out finished for building and ornamentation.

THE MANUFACTURE OF SHOES .- There is in this city the largest shoe manufactory in the State of New Jersey, that of Felter & Co. The senior member of this firm started business as long ago as 1856, in a shop at the head of Delevan Street, employing two hands in the making of hand-sewed shoes. Gradu- ally enlarging each time, the factory was located suc- cessively in the old court-house, corner of Neilson and Bayard Streets. Their present factory is situated in Bayard Street, between Neilson and George Streets. They employ over three hundred hands, and nearly half are females.

From an interesting article published some few years ago the following account is taken : At this time they turned out over five thousand pairs of boots and shoes each week, including men's and boys' boots and shoes, and ladies', misses', and children's shoes, sewed and nailed, the yearly value of the production being about four hundred thousand dollars. The factory at this time was divided into four depart- ments, the bottom stock and cutting-room, the upper stock and cutting-room, the upper fitting-room, and the buttoning- or making-room. In the first the rough sole leather is cut into strips as wide as the shoe is to be long, and then passed under a knife which renders the strips of uniform thickness and body ; next these are passed between heavy iron rollers, which take the place of the shoemaker's hammer and lapstone and give solidity to the leather. These strips are then cut into separate inside and outside soles by a die-machine, the die being in sizes, and the leather being reversed as it is fed to them, in order to get rights and lefts. The edges of the sole are then " feathered," or made sharp, and the "shanks" or in- steps are cut away. The soles are next pressed in a

mould to give the bulging shape of the human foot, and the outsoles are channeled and grooved ready for stitching. Thus before the sole alone is ready for the upper it is handled by a dozen different men. The heel lifts are cut out by hand-dies in the same room and tacked together ready to be shaped into heels, and the " counters" or stiff leather heel linings are also cut.

The next department is where the uppers are cut from morocco and other leathers by hand, according to brass-bound pasteboard patterns, which change in style twice a year. The uppers are cut by hand, he- cause it is found that no machine can by automatic motion take the place of the judgment which requires to be exercised in order to save material. These pat- terns are for "quarters," or the part of the shoe which in- closes the instep and ankle. " Vamps," or fore uppers, linings to correspond, trimmings and bindings, and va- rious little pieces to be fitted over seams, and to be used in various parts as the shoe is put together,-all these are gathered in bundles, labeled according to their size and the case in which they are placed, and rolled in boxes across to the third department in the north- ern building. Here are nearly one hundred sewing- machines of the Howe and other patents, guided by girls and run by steam-power. Each girl has a special line of work to do, some sewing together the backs, or " closing" them, some sewing on the flies, some sew- ing the button-holes, ctc. The flies of the button shoes are cut for the button-holes, the holes sewed around by machine, and underbraided or strengthened by a stay of strong thread, and the buttons sewed on by hand. For the ordinary balmoral or "Polish" shoe, the eyelet holes are cnt by one machine and the metal eyes put in by another, when the backs are sewed together and the other parts ready to be fitted. They are pasted together so as to be properly held for the operation of sewing, the pasting corresponding to the basting of tailors' patterns. After the paste has dried in rooms devoted to that purpose the parts are stitched together, and the now completed uppers go to the fourth department to be joined to the bottoms. First they are placed over an iron-plated last and tacked by hand to the inner sole, then they are taken to the cable-screw-wire-tacking-on-machine, which fastens the outside sole to the upper preparatory to sewing. This machine cuts and drives tacks from coils of wire fed to it. Thus prepared the lasts are removed and sewing-machines are brought into use which in a short space of time securely sews on a sole to an upper. Then "the channels" which were | made for the stitching are pasted and laid by the American beating-out machine, and the shoes are re- lasted. Next the edges and shanks are trimmed and blacked by hand and burnished by machine. The heels are nailed on and then trimmed by hand by the Joyce machine, and also blacked and burnished, the soles being shaved off with sand-paper; the finishing blacking is laid on and burnished and the process is

complete. The large amount of stock turned out every week by Felter & Co. is shipped to New York, where it is sold to jobbers, the firm keeping no ware- house, and the articles it puts on sale bear a high reputation with the trade.

Banks .- The first hank organized in the city was THE BANK OF NEW BRUNSWICK, locally known as Hardenbergh's Bank. It was founded by Jacob R. Hardenbergh and others in 1807, and did business till about 1834, when it was suspended. Mr. Har- denbergh, the president of this bank, was an active business man and member of the bar of Middlesex County, to which the reader is referred for a fuller sketch. Martin A. Howell was one of the directors in this bank, as he has also been in all the banks which have had an existence in New Brunswick. The Bank of New Brunswick was located on the corner of George and Paterson Streets.

THE STATE BANK OF NEW BRUNSWICK was char- tered by " An Act to Establish State Banks," passed at Trenton Jan. 28, 1812. It also chartered the State Banks of Camden, Trenton, Elizabeth, Newark, and Morris at Morristown. The commissioners named to receive subscriptions to stock in New Brunswick were Squire Martin, Robert Lee, Asa Runyon, Bernard Smith, and Henry V. Low. The directors named in the charter were Robert Lee, Bernard Smith, Phineas Carman, Henry V. Low, John Outcalt, John Bray, Jonathan Hutchings, Jonathan Squire, John Brew- ster, Daniel Perrine, Robert McChesney, Jacob Sny- der, Jacob Van Winkle.

Daniel W. Disbrow was the first cashier. The presidents have been as follows : Charles Smith, F. R. Smith, John B. Hill, John R. Ford, and Abraham Voorhees.

This bank did business in the old State Bank build- ing on the corner of Peace and Albany Streets, erected about 1820.

The State Bank of New Brunswick failed Sept. 13, 1873. It paid all its liabilities, and was resuscitated in October following by means of contributions from the stockholders and friends of the bank to the amount of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, | all of which was paid in excepting about five thou- sand dollars, which was not collected in consequence of the donor being unable to pay his subscription. It failed the second time March 31, 1877, and was placed in the hands of Col. John W. Newell as re- ceiver.

PETER SPADER was boru in Somerset County, N. J., about half a mile from Middlebush Church, on Thurs- day, 29th September, 1785, the only son and child of John Spader and his second wife, Jane Vanderbilt. His ancestors came from Holland. The first records we find of them are deeds and leases (now in posses- sion of Peter Vanderbilt Spader) in the purchase by Johannes Spader of one hundred and ninety-six acres of land on the Millstone River of Samuel Royse on Sept. 20, 1718, and two leases, one of two hundred and

ten acres in 1722, and the other of nine hundred and eighty acres in 1730, from Clem. Plumstead, the heir of one of the original East Jersey proprietors. This Spader.

The next record we have is when Lord Howe's army was retreating from Millstone to New Bruns- wick in 1777 ; the barn and outbuildings and part of the house of John Spader, father of Peter Spader, were destroyed by fire by the British army.

Peter Spader left his home at the age of twelve years and came to New Brunswick, where he obtained employment as a clerk with John Bray, one of the leading merchants of New Brunswick, with whom he remained until 1805. At that date he commenced a general mercantile business for himself in a build- ing (now removed) at about No. 20 Albany Street. Here he remained until 1816, when he bought the lot on the northwest corner of George and Church Streets, where he erected the building now owned and occu- pied by his son, Peter Vanderbilt Spader, and carried on the same business until 1830 On June 14, 1820, he married Nelly Voorhees Quick, daughter of Tunis Quick and Aletta Van Doren Voorhees.

Tunis Quick, a farmer, miller, and large land- owner, lived near Flemington, Hunterdon Co., and was the son of Col. Abraham Quick, of Somerset County, who was the colonel of Second Battalion of Somerset County militia during the Revolutionary war.

In the spring of 1830, Peter Spader was elected cashier of the "State Bank at New Brunswick," and, from his well-known reputation and large business acquaintance with the people of Hunterdon, Somer- set, and Middlesex Counties, was largely instrumental in building up the standing and prosperity of the bank. Dr. McDowell, of Somerset County, in an article published in Our Home in May, 1873, says, " We had no bank in the county (Somerset), and were all delighted when we saw an old ' State Bank at New Brunswick' note with Peter Spader's name to it." He resigned his position as cashier of the bank in the spring of 1841, and retired wholly from business, ex- cepting to manage several estates of which he was trustee or executor, and to hold the treasurership of the First Reformed Dutch Church, and of Rutgers College, each of which he held for thirty years. The only public offices he ever held were alderman of the city and freeholder for the county. He died on Sept. 9, 1855, aged sixty-nine years, eleven months, and ten days, leaving a widow, who survived him until April 1, 1873, aged eighty-five years, seven months, and nine days. He left two sons. The elder, James Voorhees Spader, born on Oct. 2, 1825, died Nov. 12, 1871, aged forty-six years, one month, and ten days. The younger, Peter Vanderbilt Spader, born Dec. 1, 1829, resides in the house his father built, and in which he (the son) was born. With truth it may be said of Peter Spader he left the name of an honest man,-

" A wit's a feather, and a chief a rod, An honest man's the noblest work of God."

ABRAHAM VOORHEES .- Steven Coerte, or Coerten,

Johannes Spader was the great-grandfather of Peter : the common ancestor of the Voorhees or Van Voor-

hies family of Long Island and New Jersey, emi- grated with his family from Reinen, Dreuthe, in the Netherlands, in April, 1660. This family by old let- ters can be traced back one generation in the Father- land, and, like most of the early settlers, had no proper surname, adopting as such the name of the village or locality from whence they emigrated. Minne Van Voorhees, son of the emigrant, born in Flatlands, L. I., married, April 25, 1717, Antie, danghter of Garret Pieterson Wyckoff, removing to New Bruns- wick, N. J., the same year. He afterwards married Lemitje Stryker, widow of Jacob Wyckoff, of Six- Mile Run. Three of his brothers came to New Jersey with him, viz .: John, Roeloff, and Albert, and also two sisters, Catrinche and Wellentje. From these have sprung a numerous family, whose descendants are settled largely in Hunterdon, Somerset, and Mid- dlesex Counties, N. J., and members of this family are found among the most substantial business men, and prominent in the professions and legislation of the State and country.

Albert Voorhees, recently a judge of the Court of Appeals and also Lieutenant-Governor of Louisiana, traces his ancestry to Middlesex County, N. J., and Daniel W., United States Senator from Indiana, is the great-grandson of Stephen of New Jersey. A detailed history of the Voorhees family may be found in the history of Hunterdon and Somerset Coun- ties. The paternal grandfather of our subject was Lucas L. Voorhees, and his maternal grandfather, Isaac I. Voorhees, both residents of Somerset County, near Millstone, who reared large families of chil- dren. Isaac L., father of Abraham Voorhees, mar- ried Abigail, daughter of Isaac I. Voorhees, who bore him the following children : Lucas, John, Abra- ham, Isaac, Peter, William, Sarah Ann (wife of Cor- nelius Gulick), Jane (wife of William Williamson), Joanna (wife of Garret Garretson), Matilda (second wife of Garret Garretson), Emma (wife of John Gar- retson), and Maria (wife of Jacob Veghte), all of whom settled in the vicinity of their birth after their marriages. Isaac L. Voorhees was a farmer by occu- pation, and resided near Six-Mile Run, in Franklin township, Somerset County. He was much interested in church matters, and reared his family under the influences of the Reformed Dutch Church at Six-Mile Run, now Franklin Park, in which he served as pre- centor for over thirty years.

Abraham Voorhees was born near Millstone, Som- erset Co., N. J., Sept. 18, 1817, and spent his boyhood in the routine of attending the district school and on the farm. At the age of fourteen he went to Morris- town, N. J., and for four years was an apprentice in learning the trade of a silversmith. In 1835 he came to New Brunswick, and established himself in the

watch and jewelry business, which he carried on snc- cessfully for twenty-five years, during which time he became identified with very many of the local enter- prises of the city, and has ever taken an active part in church, school, and kindred interests.

Upon the failure of the State Bank in New Bruns- wick in 1873, Mr. Voorhees was the first one to make a move to rescuscitate the bank, an institution which had stood for sixty years, and he contributed liber- ally, giving twenty-six thousand dollars towards this object.

At the alumni dinner the year before the centen- nial celebration of Rutgers College, in 1870, Mr. Voorhees was the largest donor to the centennial fund, and President Campbell, in referring to the matter in an address delivered on that occasion, said, " The work in reality began last year at the alumni dinner, when Mr. Abraham Voorhees, of this city, presented a property worth ten thousand dollars to the college. That gift was the first fruit, and for all time Mr. Voorhees has the honor of being the first subscriber to the centennial fund." The continua- tion of this subscription by others raised a fund of one hundred and five thousand dollars.

Abraham Voorhees was baptized by Rev. James S. Cannon upon the occasion of the first sermon preached in the Reformed Church at Franklin Park after its erection, and from early manhood has been engaged in Sunday-school and church work. For twenty-nine years he was superintendent of the First Presbyterian Church Sunday-school in New Brunswick, and ener- getic and faithful in the discharge of his duties, always entering upon and continuing his services with fervor, zeal, and earnestness. In connection with the same church he is one of its ruling elders. His first wife was Jane, daughter of Jesse Jarvis, of Rye, N. Y., who died April 8, 1875, Jeaving one surviving child, Willard Penfield Voorhees, who graduated at Rutgers College, studied law with Judge Woodbridge Strong, of New Brunswick, and is practicing his pro- fession in that city. His present wife is Mattie J., daughter of John Van Nostrand, of New Brunswick, by whom he has two children,-Howard Crosby and Florence Eliot.

THE FARMERS' AND MECHANICS' BANK OF NEW BRUNSWICK was incorporated by act of the Legisla- ture passed Feb. 26, 1834. Its first president was James F. Randolph, who was succeeded by Charles Dunham, and he by Abraham Suydam. Lewis Car- man was the first cashier. This bank first did busi- ness where the post-office is now situated, on Barnet Street, and subsequently removed to Church Street, where it remained until its suspension.

THE BANK OF NEW JERSEY was chartered Feb. 24, 1837, John Van Dyke, president ; Moses F. Webb, cashier. It was changed into the National Bank of New Jersey in 1864. THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF NEW BRUNSWICK, which had been previously organized with a capital of $100,000, and which did |

business under the presidency of Israel H. Hutchings, was, about 1870, merged with the State Bank, and be- came obsolete in that institution. Nov. 22, 1864, the Bank of New Jersey was reorganized as THE NA- TIONAL BANK OF NEW JERSEY, with a capital of $250,000, and is the bank now doing business in the city. It was organized with the following directors : Andrew Agnew, Isaac Fisher, John B. Hill, Lewis T. Howell, Isaac L. Martin, Simeon W. Philips, Garret I. Snekeker, Garret G. Voorhees, and Peter A. Voorhees.

The fine banking building is situated on the corner of Church and Neilson Streets. The following are

On Nov. 1, 1852, he was elected president of the bank, and under his ad- ministration the bank met with almost unprecedented prosperity, and its name for reliability became second to no bank in the State. He held this position until Feb. 1, 1864, when he resigned his official place as president, and soon after accepted the presidency of John Runyon, a native of Piscataway, and a car- penter and farmer by occupation, resided in that township during his active business life.
