An ineident or rather accident connected with the use of the planes is worthy of reeord here. Passenger-ears

# A part of this engine is at Aurora, and is the property of Captain T. D. Wilcox.

t "Mr. Phelps has lately constructed an ingenious horse-boat, to ply between the bridge and the canal, at Montezuma. This boat is a pleasing change from the monotonous movement of the canal-boats, to the more animated motion of the American Water Coach, as the proprietor has very happily named it. The conveyance in this boat is pleasant and safe. It is handsomely fitted for the accommodation of twenty or thirty passengers. It reflects great credit on the projector and proprietor, and it is to be hoped that his enterprise will be justly appreciated and rewarded."-American Journal, July 3, 1822.

į Captain Wilcox began steamboating upon the "Paragon," the third of Fulton's boats, in April, 1818, when fifteen years old, and remained four years. The next twenty years were spent on the boats of Long Island Sound, where he became captain of the "Fulton," about 1831-32. He came to Ithaca in 1840 or 1841, where, with the exception of a five-years' interval, he has steadily remained. He thus has a record of sixty years' service in the line of steam water craft, and has still a large investment in the passenger and freight boats of Cayuga Lake, which he superintends, at seventy-six years, with the vigor of youth.

¿ An interesting and full description of the several surveys made for this road appeared in the Ithaca Journal of Sept. 3, 1828.

LEONARD TREMAN.

Leonard Treman is the grandson of Abner Treman, late of Trumansburg, and eldest son of Ashbel and Mary Tre- man, of Mecklenburg, now in Schuyler Co., N. Y., who had four other children,-Lafayette, L. Elias, Ann F., and Mary C. Leonard was born in Mecklenburg, June 18, 1819; was married to Almira Corley, of Ithaca, Oct. 20, 1846, and had three children, of whom two died in infancy, and one, Katharine C., married John W. Bush, of Buffalo, N. Y., April 15, 1869. He attended the common schools of his native village, and afterwards, in the winter of 1834-35, attended the Ithaca Academy, of which William A. Irving was then principal. In the latter year he engaged as clerk in the store of Wood & Nye, at Ithaca, where he remained for two years, when his father died, and he returned to Mecklenburg. September 8, 1838, he entered the service of Edmund G. Pelton, who was then in the hardware business, and has from that day continued his connection with that trade in Ithaca down to the present.

In 1844 his brother, Lafayette L., joined him and they became the successors of Mr. Pelton, under the firm-name of L. & L. L. Treman. Feb. 1, 1849, Elias, the youngest brother, acquired an interest, and the firm was changed to Treman & Brothers. Still later, Feb. 1, 1857, Leander R. King, a cousin, who had been their clerk for a number of years, was taken into the partnership, which then became Treman, King & Co., as at present.

Although admitting others to a share in certain portions of their business, the three brothers have always continued

their interests undivided, and still conduct, under the distinct title of Treman & Brothers, the foundry and machine business at Ithaca commenced in 1849; and under . the style of L. Treman & Co. a general hardware business at Watkins, in Schuyler County. The foundry branch of their business was commenced in a building situated on the east hill on the south bank of the Cascadilla. This building was burned, and the business was transferred to its present position on Green and Cayuga Streets. Here a large busi- ness has been and still is carried on in the manufacture of engines, boilers, and agricultural implements, the latter now forming a leading portion of the products.

The three brothers are the builders and owners of the Ithaca Water-Works, and the owners of a large proportion of the stock of the Ithaca Gas-Light Company. To the presidency of the Water-Works Company Mr. Treman was called in 1864, and to a like position in 1870, which position he still holds. He was a trustee of the village in 1850, and again in 1868-69 ; was a director of the Ithaca and Newfield Plank Road Company in 1850; of the Ithaca and Athens Railroad from 1869 to 1874 ; and of the Cayuga Lake Rail- road from 1871 to 1874; and was made a trustee of the Ithaca Savings Bank by the charter in 1868, and continues to hold the position. Besides thesc, he has for several years been a trustee of the Congregational Church of Ithaca. Mr. Tremau continues personally to superintend the many important and varied interests of which he has long been the head, and regularly fulfills the public duties that have claim to his attention.

AND SCHUYLER COUNTIES, NEW YORK.

from Owego were let down the " upper" plane by gravity, brakes being the controlling power. About the year 1845, from some cause, a ear containing passengers coming down this plane became unmanageable, and with increasing specd rushed on. All the passengers, save one, succeeded in geting off, though at the risk of life, among whom was the Hon. Amasa Dana, who was much injured. The ear with its single occupant shot through the whecl-house at the head of the steep grade and began the fearful plunge. There was a streak, as some say; and a crash. The ear had struck a small tool-house near the foot of the plane, and immediately there seemed to have been a shower of kindling- wood and a deposition of bog ore. Strange as true! the man survived, and after some patching became as good as- new. His name was Fred. Babcock,-Ithaca's fast male.

April 9, 1832, a charter was granted for the " Ithaca and Geneva" Railroad, with a capital of $800,000. A survey of the road was made, but nothing further accomplished under this charter. The route contemplated was practically the same as now built upon under a new law.

April 16, 1834, the " Ithaca and Port Renwick" Railroad was chartered, with a capital of $15,000, to connect the village of Ithaca and Cayuga Lake. The route designed was near the base of the east hill. Old maps of the period have this road laid down, but it was not built.

In September, 1820, a canal was projected by the " Ithaca Canal Company," composed of A. Perkins, D. Woodcock, Ira Tillotson, Henry Ackley, Luther Gere, Oliver Phelps, Ben Johnson, Daniel Bates, and Jonathan F. Thompson. Capital, $6000.

This canal was to be about half a mile in length, with two locks, and a basin "near the Court-House," and intersect the inlet at the mouth of the Cascadilla Creek, but nothing was ever accomplished.

The Ithaca and Athens Railroad was chartered as the Ithaca and Towanda Railroad in 1867, with a capital of $2,000,000. Its northern terminus is at Ithaca, its south- ern at Sayre, Pa. This road was opened for travel in 1871.

The Geneva and Ithaca Railroad Company was formed under the general railroad law in 1870 or 1871, with a capital of $1,250,000. The road is forty miles long, and runs diagonally across the county of Seneca, con- necting Ithaca with Geneva. It was opened in 1873. This road and the Ithaca and Athens were consolidated April 10, 1874, and finally, under the control of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, the present owners, became the Geneva, Ithaca and Sayre Railroad.

The Cayuga Lake Railroad Company was chartered in 1869, with a capital of $1,000,000. The road is thirty-eight miles long, and was opened in 1874. This road follows the east shore of Cayuga Lake, connecting Ithaca with the New York Central at Cayuga. In 1876 it was purchased by the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, its present owners.

The Ithaca and Cortland Railroad was formed under the general railroad act, with a capital of $500,000. Length twenty-two miles, of which twenty miles were opened in 1871. In October of that year it was consolidated with the Utica, Horseheads and Elmira, and became the Utiea, Ithaca and Elmira Railroad.

The Cutskill and Ithaca Railroad was chartered April 21, 1828, with a capital of $1,500,000, but no part was ever constructed.

The Ithaca and Auburn Railroad was chartered in May, 1836. The route proposed for this road was along the south bank of Fall Creek as far as Freeville, in the town of Dryden, where the crossing was to be effected. No work was done under this charter.

The Chemung and Ithaca Railroad was chartered in May, 1837. Capital, $200,000. Its route was to follow Ten-Mile Creek ( Buttermilk ), passing through Danby vil- lage, and thenee down the Catatunk or Michigan Creek, to Spencer. Not built.

The last two railroads, as also the Port Renwick road and canal, are laid down on the map of Stone & Clark, published at Ithaca in 1829.

The Sodus Canal, which also appears upon the map of Stone & Clark, is another of the grand projects set on foot between the years 1828 and 1838. By this canal Ithaca was to be made a city of no small proportions, and that speedily.

Vessels from the lakes and ocean should cleave the waters of the Cayuga, richly laden with the commerce of the East and West, in time of peace, and find there safe refuge in time of war. There, also, should be built, side by side with the merchantmen, ironelads and other war-vessels for the defense of the " Great Lakes."*

The charter for this ship-canal was first granted March 19, 1829, with a capital of $200,000. Ten years were given for its completion. The charter was amended and extended, but finally expired by limitation in 1861. In 1862, another act authorized the construction of this work upon a modified basis, provided the United States Govern- ment should furnish funds for the purpose; for which, in return, the vessels of the United States were to have per- petual right of passage free from toll or charge. This grand canal is still a question for the future.

STAGE-ROUTES.

Edmund H. Watkins commenced his connection with the stage-lines to Catskill and other points in 1823, at Harpersfield, Delaware Co., for his brother Hezekiah. Mr. Watkins came to Ithaca Jan. 1, 1825, and took charge of the business, which soon extended to include routes to Newburg, Jersey City, and points north, south, and east. He continued his connection with these routes after their consolidation with sundry rival lines, in 1833, and down to 1857, and may be considered an " old stager." He is yet in vigorous keeping in mind and body.

The first stage-driver who wound his horn and woke the echoes of the Caynga from their sleep of centuries was John Bartley. Another of the carly drivers was John McQueen.

Before the consolidation of the lines, the competition had at one time reduced the fare through to New York to one dollar and fifty cents, including steamboat fare from Catskill.

# See pamphlet cutitled " The Defense of the Great Lakes," in which the advantages to government of the proposed work are ably set forth.

HISTORY OF TIOGA, CHEMUNG, TOMPKINS,

In 1827, Jesse Grant & Son were proprietors of stage- routes "for Newburg, Geneva, and Auburn, daily, except Sundays," and for New York via Montrose, Milford, etc., every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Ilours of de- parture, four and five o'clock A.M., from the Coffee- House.

In 1834, Chauncey L. Grant & Co. were proprietors of stage-routes to Catskill via Delhi, 160 miles; Newburg, 175 miles; Jersey City, 206 miles ; Auburn, 40 miles ; Geneva, 45 miles; Bath, 52 miles ; Elmira, 38 miles. The stage-offices of Messrs. Grant & Co. were at the Clin- ton House, Ithaca Hotel, and Tompkins House.

Joshua Cummings, whose office was at the hotel, con- trolled the routes to Albany and Utica.

PRESENT INDUSTRIES.

The Ithaea calendar clock, wholly a local invention, stands foremost among the manufactures of the place, and takes high rank among the mechanical products of the country.

The first calendar was the invention of J. H. Hawes, of Ithaca, and patented in 1853, but did not indicate the 29th of February. This defeet was remedied by an improvement by W. H. Akins, patented in 1854. The calendar was then purchased by Huntington & Platts, for whom clocks were made by the brothers Eugene and Edwin Mix, who, meanwhile, still further improved the works, and procured patents therefor in 1860-62. For a year or two the manu- facture was confined to large bank calendars ; and then the patents passed, by sale, to the Seth Thomas Clock Company, of Connecticut.

In 1865, Henry Horton procured patents for a new per- petual calendar, with important improvements, and in 1868 he and a few others formed the " Ithaea Calendar Cloek Company."

This company began with a capital of $800 in a rented building, from which small beginning the business has ex- panded to large proportions. A fine building of brick was subsequently erected in the north part of the village, which, with the machinery, was nearly destroyed by fire a few years ago. The structure was replaced, with added eonve- niences and safeguards. The best of mechanics are em- ployed ; about thirty in number at present, with a near prospect of large increase.

The superiority of this calendar over others, it is elaimed, lies in the devices for making the daily and monthly changes instantaneously and surely, by a power gradually acquired through eighteen hours' work of the time movements,-a distribution which does not tax the latter. By means of an ingenious arrangement, each calendar is proved by being put through the changes of eight years. Time is indicated in the English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Russian, and Asiatie languages. Orders are now in hand for the Australian market. Some fifteen different styles are now made, from the household clock to the finest jew- eler's regulator.

Among the important items of Ithaean manufacture are embraced agricultural implements of various kinds,-plows, corn-shellers, wheel-rakes, threshing-engines, ete.

The wheel-rake has for many years been extensively manufactured under patents issued to local inventors.

These also, like the calendar clocks, have achieved a national and foreign reputation, and many thousands have been sold annually. The principal makers of these are the " Ithaca Agricultural Works," and " Williams Brothers." Steam-threshers are made by the latter firm and Reynolds & Lang.

The construction of eanal boats has long been and still is an important industry in the place, the yearly expenditure therefor ranging from $100,000 to $200,000.

Parlor-organs are made by the Ithaea Organ Company, a new institution, which has already become prominent because of the quantity and quality of its work. The company employs many skilled workmen.

The tannery of Edward S. Esty, in the western part of the village, is one of the largest in the country, and among the best in plan and structure. It is one of the most im- portant industries in Ithaca.

It is but just to claim for Ithaea the honor of originating, through her inventors, what has been shown to be one of the essential features of the sewing-machine,-the " feed." Other portions were also constructed by Wm. H. Akins and a Mr. Felthousen, but the feed made by them is, in some form, used in nearly all machines at the present day.

Besides the establishments dependent solely upon water- power, consisting of three or four large flouring- and grist- mills, a paper-mill and rake-factory, there are from fifteen to twenty others employing stationary steam-engines, whose labor is, to a large extent, the measure of Ithaea's pros- perity. Moreover, Ithaea is a distributing point for much of the coal of Pennsylvania that is destined to points reached by the lakes and eanals to the northward. This commeree amounts to many hundred thousand tons in a season.

The railroads now earry southward the vast supplies of plaster that, in the olden time, were laboriously teamed to Owego. Thousands of tons are annually ground at Ithaea, and thence distributed to the near-by region.

CIVIL HISTORY.

ORGANIZATION OF TOWN-FIRST TOWN-MEETING AND CIVIL LIST.

" An act to divide the town of Ulysses, in the County of Tompkins, passed March 16, 1821 :

HISTORY OF TIOGA, CHEMUNG, TOMPKINS,

VILLAGE OF ITHACA.

SIMEON DE WITT, the " proprietor" and practically the founder of Ithaca, after the departure of the first settlers eame into possession of nearly all the domain which is now embraced within the bounds of the village corporation and other lands outside that limit. He was at the time sur- veyor-general of New York, and had filled other important offiees in the State, and at one time a position upon the staff of General Washington. Although not responsible, as has been elsewhere shown, for the classie titles with which many of the towns of Central New York are favored, he gave the name " Ithaea" to the little village which was his pride and hope, nestled so eozily within the amphithe- atre formed by the highlands at the head of Cayuga Lake. Various conjectures respeeting his reason for so naming it have been recorded ; but it is safe to say that it was named from ancient Ithaca, and probably because of similarity of situation. The plot of the village was formed almost wholly by streets following nearly the eardinal points, and intersecting very nearly at right angles. This plot eon- tained eertain portions designated then or subsequently as parks, of which De Witt Park is most central. Mr. De Witt encouraged settlement by the liberal terms offered in the sale of his lands. It was his long-cherished desire to build a residence on the east hill overlooking the village ; but he died before this was accomplished, and was buried near the chosen spot, on the south bank of the Caseadilla, where a few pines still stand, through whose heavy fronds the winds make ceaseless requiem. It is said that beneath these pines he made his first encampment, while prosecuting the survey-about the year 1796-97-for his map of the State. His remains lay long unhonored by a distinctive monument, and were finally removed from Ithaca to Albany. A son of Mr. De Witt, William L., who erected the resi- denee now occupied by Frank C. Cornell, near the Uni- versity grounds, is at present a resident of the village .*
