MANUFACTURES.

Rome Iron- Works .- A company was organized in 1866, with a capital of $100,000, to establish in Rome a rolling- mill for the manufacture of railroad iron. On Saturday, May 26, of that year, the following were chosen trustees of the company, viz. : Edward Huntington, John Stryker, David Utley, Addison Day, A. H. Brainard, G. N. Bissell, William L. Howland, B. J. Beach, E. B. Armstrong. The organization was perfected by electing, for President, Edward Huntington ; Vice- President, A. H. Brainard ; Seeretary and Treasurer, William L. Howland. The first purchase of land as a site for the mill included two acres of land near the New York Central Railroad, and between

that and the Black River Canal. A puddling-mill stand- ing east of the rolling-mill was begun in 1869, and finished the same winter. The rail-mill was burned April 24, 1871, involving a loss of $125,000, and throwing over 150 men out of employment. It was immediately rebuilt on the same ground. This mill, when running in full force, furnishes employment to 200 men, or more, and manufac- tures railroad iron exclusively. Its present officers are : Trustees, G. N. Bissell, Thomas G. Nock, B. J. Beach, James S. Whaley, Thomas H. Stryker, Francis H. Thomas, William R. Huntington, Edward Huntington, Abijah Cur- tiss; Inspectors, Alfred Sandford, Judson R. Ward, John Hook ; President, Edward Huntington ; Vice-President, James S. Whaley.

Rome Merchant-Iron Mill .- This company was organ- ized Thursday, July 9, 1868, and the following officers elected, viz. : Trustees, Edward Huntington, J. B. Hyde, S. B. Stevens, Thomas G. Nock, A. Ethridge, Enoch B. Armstrong, B. J. Beach, David Utley, John B. Jervis. The capital stock was fixed at $75,000. July 11, 1868, the Board met and elected Samuel B. Stevens, President ; B. J. Beach, Vice-President ; Jabez B. Hyde, Manager, Secretary, and Treasurer. The land for the location of the buildings was purchased of John Stryker, and the building crected. An addition is being built the present season (1878), on the side next to the canal, 40 by 100 feet in dimensions. The present capital of the company is $125,- 000. From 50 to 80 men are employed, and all classes of square, round, and flat merchant iron are manufactured. The officers are: President, Enoch B. Armstrong; Vice- President, Bloomfield J. Beach ; Secretary, John B. Jervis ; Treasurer, A. P. Rand.

The Rome Iron and Steel Bloom Company was organ- ized in 1868, and ten acres of ground for the location of buildings purchased on the north side of the Erie Canal, near the bridge of the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg Railway. The purpose of this company was to manufacture wrought-iron and steel directly from the ore by "Jameson's Patent Process." The mill was operated for several years, but is at present lying idle.

An extensive boot- and shoe-factory was established in 1868, by Messrs. Kingsbury, Abbott & Hale, on John Street, near the depot. The firm had previously occupied rooms on Dominick Street, but, owing to increase of busi- ness, were forced to seck larger quarters. The new build- ing was constructed of brick ; was four stories high ; and the institution at one time furnished employment to over 200 hands.

Fuller's Earth-Soap Company .- A large bed of fuller's earth was discovered some years since in the town of Vienna, on the land belonging to Hon. Chauncey Brodock. In the spring of 1866 a company was formed for manufac- turing it into soap, with a capital of $400,000, in 8000 shares of $50 each. The mine discovered varied in depth from fif- teen to thirty-five feet. The material called " fuller's earth" is so named from its being an almost indispensable article in the manufacture of woolen cloths. Its cost, as imported from Europe, was from $35 to $60 per ton. The bed in Vienna was the second discovered, and the largest known, in the United States. The earth is slaty in color, entirely

devoid of grit or common clay, and of a greasy, soapy na- ture. By a chemical process it is transformed into an cx- cellent soap. But little business is done in this line in Rome at present.

Petroleum Excitement .- In 1865-66 the people of Cen- tral New York became much interested in the oil dis- coveries in Pennsylvania, and great excitement was conse- quent upon the assertion that oil could be found here as well as in the latter State, and in paying quantities. Several companies were formed for the purpose of testing the mat- ter, and real estate in supposed " oil districts" commanded wonderful prices. One company, known as the " Rome and Maple Creek Oil Company," had a large capital, and expended it in a vain attempt to find " paying" quantities of the great money-making material. Occasional " symp- toms" were seen, but it is at this time well known that petroleum cannot exist in this locality in quantities suffi- cient to pay the expense of boring wells.

Steam Planing-Mill .- One of the oldest institutions of this kind in the State was torn down in the spring of 1870, upon the completion of the new one by Messrs. Selden & Sanford. The old mill was built in 1845, by Messrs. Albert Soper, Woodman Kimball, and Adam Van Patten, and was 80 by 50 feet in dimensions. The first engine used was one of 25 horse-power. The mill was located a few rods east of South Washington Street, between Front Strect and the Erie Canal, and immediately east of the new one.

SINK'S OPERA-HOUSE.

This fine building is located on the south side of Domi- nick Street, cast of James, and was built by A. J. Sink, in 1869, at a cost of $50,000. The audience-room is designed to scat 1400 persons. The building is of brick ; contains two store-rooms on the ground-floor and offices and dwel- ling-apartments above, besides the audience-room. It was opened to the public on the evening of Sept. 27, 1869, the play of " Nita, or Woman's Constancy," being produced by M'lle Zoe and her New York company.

Among the other prominent buildings in Rome is the " Commercial Hotel," which was opened April 1, 1868, by Messrs. Thomson & Rowc, and known then as the " Thom- son House."

One of the finest blocks in the city is the " Ethridge Block," on the southcast corner of Dominick and Washing- ton Streets. It was built in 1863, by Alfred Ethridge; is 120 by 42 feet in dimensions, three stories and a basement, and constructed of brick.

ROME POST-OFFICE

was established about 1798, and Matthew Brown, Jr., ap- pointed first postmaster. He kept the office in his store on the east side of James Street. Joshua Hatheway was ap- pointed about 1807-8, and held the position until his death in 1836. He was succeeded by his son, Jay Hatheway, who remained in office until 1849, when R. G. Savery was appointed ; the latter was succeeded in 1852 by A. J. Row- ley. D. E. Wager succeeded Mr. Rowley in 1857, and the place was filled in 1861 by the appointment of E. H. Shel- ley. Mr. Shelley's successor was S. P. Lewis, appointed in August, 1866, by President Johnson. Mr. Shelley was

re-appointed in the spring of 1867, and was succeeded in 1870 by B. Whitman Williams, the present incumbent. The office is pleasantly located in the north end of the fine MeHarg Block, corner of Washington and Dominick Streets.

BANDS.

The different bands which have had organization in Rome are many in number, and it is next to impossible to enumerate them at this time. There is at present but one organization of the kind in the city, and that is known as the Old Rome Band. It was organized about 1867-68, and contained sixteen instruments in July, 1878. During this season the Old Rome Band and the Rome Musical Association consolidated. their forees, and are together under the leadership of George C. Sehillner. An orchestra of fourteen members is connected with the band, and is directed by Mr. Schillner. The members of the orchestra are all Germans except four. The present organization is an excellent one, and its musie is surpassed by that of few bands in the State.

The brigades were subsequently re-numbered, and the Troop was given a letter. June 29, 1878, there were sixty-three names on the company-roll. The present offieers are: Captain, W. L. Ames; Senior 2d Lieutenant, D. C. Swortfiguer ; Junior 2d Lieutenant, Glen Petrie.

disbanded. The militia companies which have existed in Rome are many in number, and the early " general train- ing" days were great and exciting events in the history of the place. For eighteen years the militia of the village was kept up by the exertions of Colonel Louis Roth, who finally resigned. The two companies now organized make a fine appearance, and are a eredit to the city.

DR. HAROLD H. POPE.

One of the most responsible occupations in life is that of a physician ; he is daily called upon to aid the suffering and helpless public ; not only the rich but the poor, often working without a hope of any remuneration, and is often- times the possessor of family secrets which, if divulged to the world, would prove detrimental to the character of his patients ; and is deprived of his natural rest and social enjoy- ments, because he is always at the call of a complaining people.

The subject of this memoir was one that stood high in his profession and was well known all over the State; though confined to a comparatively small field of labor, his talents were appreciated abroad, and he could have occupied his same position in life in much larger communities than Rome, but an attachment for that place led him always to make it his home. He was born in Rutland, Vermont, November 15, 1801, being the youngest son of Stephen and Regined Pope, his father being a native of the State of New Hampshire, his mother of Rhode Island. In the fall of 1817, young Harold in company with a brother left his home for western New York, with the intention of purchasing land and becoming a farmer; but having an uncle, Dr. Henry Smith, at Western, Oneida County, he stopped to pay him a visit. He was prevailed upon by his uncle to remain with him that fall and attend the district school. In the following spring he taught the same school, and in the latter part of that year his uncle sent him to Albert Barnes, to prepare himself for college. He subse- quently went to the medical college at Fairfield, Herkimer County, and also attended the medical college at Castleton, Vermont. He received diplomas from both. After finish-

ing his collegiate education he returned to Rome, and to perfect his studies he entered the office of Dr. George Brown, and with a determination (rare in one so young) he devoted his time arduously to become proficient in the study of medicine. He afterwards became a partner with Dr. Brown, which continued for a few years, when the senior member of the firm sold out his interest to his young but energetic partner.

Dr. Pope was married, March 8, 1827, to Maria R., daughter of Andrew and Polly Elmer, of Western. Their union was blessed with two children,-Albert H., who is living at the present time, and Henry Smith. The latter, when arriving at a proper age, was sent by his father to the medical college at Castleton, Vermont, where he gradu- ated. He early gave promise of earning a reputation in his profession, but was unfortunately called to his last home in early manhood.

Dr. Pope was a strong and prominent member of the Democratic party, and was recognized by its leaders as one of the most earnest supporters of that party's principles and good government. He was called upon by his fellow- citizens to fill many positions of trust and honor in his town. He was president of the village, supervisor, and held other minor offices. He was a member of the Epis- copal Church.

Dr. Pope ended a busy life July 7, 1869, and in his death Rome lost a good and great citizen ; her people, a kind and sympathizing neighbor; her poor, a benevolent and charitable friend. ITis funeral was attended by a host of relations and friends, and many a silent tear was dropped over his grave.
