horse 1834 cents. Going to Church on Sunday, militia men going and return- ing from musters and funerals were free. The Legislature might alter these rates by fifty per cent after ten years after the road was completed. The Company was required to put up mile stones with the distance from Columbus and Portsmouth thereon, and rates of toll were to be posted at the gates. The Company was to keep an account of the expense of the construction of the road and its revenues and expenses, and the State had a right to buy the same at a fixed price or the Commissioners of the Counties, the parts in their respective counties, and make the road free.

On January 25, 1832, this act was amended by allowing the road bed to be twenty feet wide outside the mile at the beginning in the City of Ports- mouth. The stock was made $10.00 per share and when one hundred shares were subscribed, the Company could organize.

On February 21, 1833, the Legislature gave the Company till October 1 to complete ten miles of their road without forfeiture. The by laws of the Company had a Treasurer for each County. All elections were to be held at the Court House in Chillicothe, and no stock was to be transferred until fully paid up. The general plan of the road was, the road was to be opened one hundred feet wide, cleared within twenty feet of center. The road bed was to be 33 feet wide, with the center 18 inches above the sides by regular curve; no grade above four degrees. All slopes one-half to one inch, embankment. Excavations were one foot rise to one foot base. There was to be twenty feet road bed in the center, broken limestone macadamized. Gravel was to be nine inches thick. The Treasurer was allowed two per cent in moneys col- lected from stock holders, and one per cent in moneys from the State or Counties. One and one-half per cent for disbursing moneys coming from his predecessor. Directors were allowed $2.00 a day for the time engaged superin- tending or otherwise.

The Ohio Canal.

As this is not a history of the Canal as such, only such notice of it will be given as affects Scioto County. June 4, 1825, the Canal was begun at the Licking Summit. It was the intention to work it both ways. Governor Mor- row and his aids, the Canal Commissioner, the Commissioners of the Canal Fund, Governor Clinton of New York and General Van Reissellear were pres- ent. Rev. Jenks of Granville officiated as Chaplain. Governor Clinton address- ed the people. The Militia was out in force with all their tinsel. Mr. Kelley of the Canal Commissioners, presented two spades to Judge Minor, President of the Board. He gave them to Governors Clinton and Morrow. Each Govern- or used a spade and a great shout went up. Then each of the officials of the Canal used a spade. There was a public dinner, after which a number of toasts were drunk. About 8,000 persons were present. At the same time it was announced that the commissioners by unanimous vote had decided to come from Chillicothe down the west side of the Scioto, because it would cost $36,000 less. On September 2, 1825, 1200 laborers were employed at Licking Summit. They were paid $8.00 per month. July 6, 1826, the line between Piketon and Portsmouth had not been determined. At this time 2,000 la- borers and 3,000 teams were at work between Licking Summit and Cleveland. In that distance 44 locks were required. There was a fall of 395 feet between those points. August 10, 1826, the Canal Commissioners borrowed $1,000,000 at six per cent. January 28, 1827, Governor Worthington was a canal com- missioner. It was expected the work in the Scioto Valley would be put under contract the following season. March 8, 1827, the surveys on the west side of the Scioto were completed and the surveys on the east side from Piketon to Portsmouth were to be made. July 5, 1827, the canal was expected to be opened from Akron to Cleveland. July 19, 1828, the location of the canal in Scioto County was fixed by the Canal Commissioners. The town took a boom. The Times, not the present Times, but a paper called the Western Times, was filled with advertisements, August 2, 1828, many of the citizens of Pike and Scioto County protested against the location of the canal on the west side. That portion of land between the present Scioto Bridge and the old mouth of the Scioto was then called the "Isthmus." and on January 7, 1829, the canal commissioners resolved to cut a way through the "Isthmus" between the Ohio

and Scioto rivers and make the mouth of the canal at the lower end of Ports- mouth. February 21, 1829, it was announced that the "Isthmus" at the west end of Portsmouth was to be cut through and aqueducts would be built at Pee Pee, Camp Creek, and Brush Creek.

June 6, 1829, proposals for parts of the canal were published in the Wes- tern Times. On June 15th and 20th, lettings on the Ohio canal were made. Section 83, was Brush Creek Aqueduct, Section 90 was Pond Creek Aqueduct, Section 97 was Three Locks near Portsmouth and Section 98 was through the low bottoms. George W. Darlington had sections 55 and 56. Section 99 was a dam across the Scioto and section 100 was the cutting through the "Isthmus." Eads and McGregor had the three locks at Union Mills. November 21, 1829, proposals for daming the Scioto and cutting through the "Isthmus" were ad- vertised to be let December 7, 1829. Lemuel Moss of Franklin, obtained the contract. August 19, 1831, the plans at the east end of the canal were changed. The canal was to end on the west side of the Scioto. It could not be completed before the summer of 1832. October 7, 1831, the canal was opened from Cleveland to Chillicothe. 250 miles. September 15, 1832, the ca- nal was opened to Waverly. Boats arrived and there was a public celebration. October 13, 1832, the opening of the canal to Portsmouth was to be celebrated. Col. William Oldfield was to be Marshal. Dr. Hempstead was to receive the guests and William V. Peck was to deliver the oration. All Revolutionary Soldiers were invited to join in the ceremony.

October 20, 1832, owing to the prevalence of cholera, the celebration was deferred. December 1, 1832, the canal was completed. April 1, 1837, G. J. Leet had a line of packets to Columbus which went through in twenty-four hours. June 3, 1837. there was a line of boats running through to Cleveland. Sep- tember 23, 1837, the flood destroyed the culvert at Camp Creek and the canal was broken. Extra stages were put on and teams employed to handle pas- sengers and goods. January 2, 1838, navigation was closed, and the new ac- queduct at Camp Creek was not finished. January 23, 1838, navigation was re- sumed. Between January 6th and 21st there arrived at Portsmouth 8,031 bar- rels of pork, 5.571 barrels of flour, 561 barrels of whiskey, 176 barrels of lard, butter 108 kegs, cheese 141 casks. Two or three large steamboats were freight- ed for New Orleans. July 10, 1838, the project of the lateral canal was dis- cussed in the Scioto Tribune. In the Scioto Tribune of June 30, 1838, there was an account of the public meeting held in the interest of the Lateral Canal. The vote of the town on subscribing to the stock was 161 for and 37 against. This vote was taken on July 24, 1838. but this project never materialized. Ed- ward Hamilton was chairman of this meeting, Moses Gregory and G. S. B. Hempstead were Secretaries. July 31, 1838, notice was published of a basin to be constructed at the town of Alexandria. The legislature was to be applied to. At a public meeting of the citizens of Portsmouth held December 29, 1838, it was decided to petition the legislature to subscribe one-third of the stock of the Ohio Canal and Manufacturing Company and build a canal on the east side of the Scioto. Edward Hamilton was chairman of the meeting and S. M. Tracy was Secretary. John R. Turner. Joseph Riggs and E. Glover were ap- pointed to bring the matter before the legislature. March 15, 1839, a resolu- tion was passed by the legislature to construct a canal from Bear Creek to Portsmouth crossing the Scioto at Bear Creek. The Ohio Canal and Manufac- turing Company were to give up their rights. The news reached Portsmouth March 19. Four days later. White and Rogers of the Senate and Donally and Ripley of the House were met by a cavalcade and escorted to the United States Hotel where they spent the evening. On that evening the town was illumi- nated. March 29th, 1839, the canal was closed for repairs but was expected to be open by April 10th. November 15, 1839, the canal was closed from Brush Creek down for repairs. November 29, 1839, goods were brought to Brush Creek by canal and thence wagoned to Portsmouth. February 24, 1840, 200 delegates went from Portsmouth to the Whig State Convention by canal. They were from Hamilton, Brown. Lawrence, Adams and Scioto Counties. February 28. 1840, the Bear Creek culvert fell in. The tolls on the Ohio Canal for 1837 were $433,699, for 1838, $382,135. expenses of repairing $214,581.

August 27, 1846, survey was being made by the State down the east side of the Scioto for a canal. July 18, 1855, the canal was in a deplorable con-

dition. March 31, 1858, there was a tri-weekly packet line to Columbus. The boats left Portsmouth Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 11 a. m. and returned on alternate days. February 29, 1860, the tolls for the quarter end- ing February 15, 1859, were $10,824.65; for the quarter ending February 15. 1860, were $7,150.11; for the quarter ending May 15, $9,926.15; for the quarter ending May 15, 1859, were $17,477.34; for the quarter ending May 15, 1860, were $10,568.93.

December 29, 1860, Barton and Thompson made a canal propeller and tried it on the waters of the canal. March 1. 1865, navigation opened, the canal had been closed two months. November 14, 1866, the first canal boat for many months came through from Cleveland. Captain A. W. Williamson's Evening Star was making through trips to Chillicothe tri-weekly. February 23, 1867, there was a break in the canal at Sharonville which took two weeks to repair. The Ohio Canal from Cleveland to Portsmouth is 306 miles long, with feeder 11 miles, total length 317 miles. It cost $4.695,203. Licking County reservoir covers 3,600 acres. November 13, 1887, the extension of the Ohio canal to the Ohio river was celebrated. It cost $10,000 and only one boat ever went through it.

Railroads in the County.

On January 18, 1849, a Railroad through Chillicothe and Lancaster to Newark was talked of. On January 22, 1849, there was a Railroad charter granted by the legislature to the Scioto Valley Railroad Company. On March 13, 1849, there was a railroad meeting at Portsmouth of which Wm. Oldfield was President and E. W. Jordan was secretary. On March 24, 1849, the town vot- ed on $100,000 Railroad subscription; there were 320 ayes and 3 noes. On April 5, 1849, there was $23,000 to $24,000 private subscriptions given to the Railroad at Portsmouth. On May 26. 1849, the Company voted on railroad sub- scriptions for $25,000. The stockholders of the Scioto & Hocking Valley Rail- road Company met at Chillicothe May 9, to elect seven directors. The vote to be held on the Railroad subscription was postponed on May 17 on account of cholera. On May 24, 1849, at a meeting at Chillicothe C. A. M. Damarin, J. V. Robinson. B. F. Conway were elected directors for Portsmouth, and J. V. Robinson was elected president of the board. This was the first organization. On June 14, 1849, the directors issued an appeal to voters of the county for a subscription to the Railroad. The vote was cast Oct. 11, 1849. There were 503 votes for the Railroad and one against it in the city but the county told a different story. In the whole county there were 930 votes in favor of the Railroad subscription and 937 against it, thus the proposition was lost by seven votes. Ross County voted at the same time; the vote stood 2,128 for the Railroad subscription and 2,098 against it. Pickaway county voted 1,810 for a subscription and 984 against it. majority 826 for the subscription. There was another election called for May 25, 1850, and in the city the vote was 715 for and 2 against it. Clay township voted 73 for and 11 against. The vote in the county was 1,234 for and 284 against; there was no vote in Morgan or Brush Creek township.

July 15, 1850, the stockholders of the Scioto and Hocking Valley Railroad met at Portsmouth and elected directors. J. V. Robinson, C. A. M. Damarin, J. L. McVey and Peter Kinney of Scioto County were chosen. J. V. Robinson was elected President, John McDowell secretary and Peter Kinney treasurer.

November 23, 1850, proposals for building the first twenty miles of this Railroad were invited, which was to be let January 1, 1851, and work began on it February 31, 1851. On January 9, 1851, there were 19 miles between Hales Creek and Jackson, C. H. let. This put the road under contract all the way to Jackson.

May 28, 1852, the directors of the Scioto & Hocking Valley Railroad elected were J. V. Robinson, C. A. M. Damarin, Peter Kinney, J. L. McVey and Joseph Riggs from Portsmouth. On the 9th day of July, 1852, the first ties were laid on the Scioto and Hocking Valley Railroad in Scioto County. On September 10, 1852, the first locomotive appeared in Portsmouth and it ran four miles out the track. On November 12, 1852, the Railroad was completed 14 miles out of the city. On December 24, 1852, there was an excursion to Scioto Furnace, 25 cents for the round trip. It left at 2 p. m.

The report from May 1, 1854, to May 1, 1855, showed the earn- ings of the road to be $84,068.60, of which $58,074.14 were for freight and $25,994.46 for passengers; the operating expenses were $25,220.58. 4,633 through passengers had been carried in the year and 39,207 way passengers. 17,461 tons of pig iron had been hauled; 12,098 tons of iron ore, 66,993 bushels of coal and 93,524 bushels of corn. On September 19, 1855, the same Railroad was being built from Jackson to Berlin. November 28, 1855, trains began to run from Chillicothe to Cincinnati and from Chillicothe to Hamden on the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad.

March 26, 1856, the train was first run through to Hamden.

May 20, 1857, at the election of directors of the Scioto & Hocking Val- ley Railroad C. A. M. Damarin, George Johnson, John P. Terry and George A. Waller were elected from Scioto County.

This receivership seems to have taken place on November 2, 1859; J. W. Webb was the receiver. In June, 1859, an order of sale was made. June 24, a motion was argued to set aside the order. A. G. Thurman and O. F. Moore supported the motion; Henry Stansberry, V. Worthington, Hunter and Daugh- erty were against it. The motion was sustained on the ground the Com- pany could not mortgage its franchises. The order was set aside and the road left in the hands of a receiver.

338

HISTORY OF SCIOTO COUNTY.

Jan. 20, 1864, the latter corporation sold out to the Marietta and Cin- cinnati Railroad, and thereafter the road was known as the Portsmouth branch of the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad. April 9, 1864, the road organized as the Portsmouth and Columbus Railroad, capital stock $1,500,000.00

Ex. Governor Dennison, H. D. Payne, L. M. Hubbard, Amassa Stone, Jr. and W. H. Clements were incorporators. The books were to be opened in Columbus May 10, following. This ship passed in the night.

Feb. 26, 1866 the gauge of the Portsmouth branch of the M. &. C. Railroad was changed to correspond with that of the main line.

April 20, 1870, the Ironton, Portsmouth and Cincinnati Railroad was or- ganized. Col. P. Kinney, was President, D. W. C. Loudon, Secretary, E P. Evans, Treasurer. This road was a day dream; it made a survey and died.

On July 26, 1870, the first train from Portsmouth to Columbus by way of Hamden and Athens was run. The train left Portsmouth at 9 a. m., reaching Columbus at 5:20 p. m., being 8 hours and 20 minutes on the road. The fare was $5.90. This was $2.00 cheaper than by the way of Loveland and $4.00 cheap- er than by way of stage through Chillicothe. The estimate of building the Ironton, Portsmouth and Cincinnati railroad was published Sept. 22, 1871, and as it is a curiosity it is given in full:

May 13, 1871, there was an excursion to Columbus and back in one day for $5.00 by the Marietta & Cincinnati and Hocking Valley Railroad. The train left Portsmouth at 4 a. m. to reach Columbus at 10:50, and returning left Columbus at 6 p. m.

July 15, 1872, the county voted on building a Railroad. The vote in the city was 2,002 for, and 21 against. The total vote of the county was 3,472 for and 603 against; all the opposition came from the country. The law was af- terwards held unconstitutional and the vote amounted to nothing. It was on the 21st of May, 1873, when the law called "the Boesel law" was declared un- constitutional.

November 10, 1872, the Marietta & Cincinnati Railroad, began erecting a telegraph line along its line. This was the first time a telegraph line was operated along the branch.

On September 17, 1873, the citizens of Portsmouth petitioned the M. & C. Ry. to put on a train leaving Hamden in the morning and returning in the evening. November 5, 1873, this train was put on arriving at 10:20 a. m. and leaving at 2 p. m. October 1, 1870, the fare to the Cincinnati Exposition was $5.00 for the round trip; the train left Portsmouth at 6:30 a. m. and arrived at Cincinnati 2:30 p. m. Tuesday. It left Cincinnati Wednesday evening and ar- rived at Portsmouth at 6 a. m. Thursday.

On March 3, 1875, $115,520 was subscribed by Portsmouth to the Michigan and Ohio Railroad; the Tribune of March 3, 1875, has a list of the subscribers. April 28, 1875, Geo. D. Chapman appeared in Portsmouth for the first time. His mission was to build the Scioto Valley Railroad. He had come from Kan- sas for that purpose. He professed to be a man of great resources and backed by fabulous wealth. He proposed to take and pay down $150,000 stock in the Railroad and to require no money until the road was done. The effect of his

339

enterprise was to paralyze the Michigan and Ohio Railroad and kill that pro- ject.

August 8, 1865, the Scioto Valley Railroad was put under contract from Columbus to Chillicothe.

April 12, 1876, the Cincinnati, Batavia and Portsmouth Narrow Gauge Railroad was first heard of in Portsmouth, May, 3, 1876, the Board of Trade appointed a committee to visit Batavia and learn a's to the Narrow Gauge Road. This committee was composed of Dr. J. W. Fuller, F. C. Searl, J. P. McAndrew, John G. Peebles and N. W. Evans. August 23, 1876, Col. Samuel Woodward, (the Col. being purely ornamental), wrote to S. S. Jones at Rarden, that the Cincinnati and Eastern Railroad was graded to Williamsburg, and track laying was to be begun that week, and Portsmouth was the ultimate destination.

On the same day an excursion left Portsmouth for Columbus by the way of Hamden and Chillicothe by the Scioto Valley Railroad, for $3.00 for the round trip. The Scioto Valley Railroad had been completed from Columbus to Chillicothe June 3, 1876.

March 31, 1877, nearly $100,000 had been raised for the Scioto Valley Rail- road. April 21, 1877 work began grading for this road in Scioto County. John B. Gregory had the contract for grading the sixteen miles in Scioto County. May 5, 1877, three hundred men were at work grading on the Scioto Val- ley Railroad. May 31, 1877, Col. S. Woodward and Major Byrne were in Ports- mouth in the interest of the Cincinnati and Eastern Railroad. The meeting was held at the court house and W. B. Grice was secretary. Speeches were made by Col. Woodward, Major Byrne, N. W. Evans, F. C. Searl, L. C. Damarin, D. W Murray, Col Peter Kinney, Dr. J. W. Fulton and Col. J. E. Wharton. June 2, 1877 the road was opened to Sardinia with appropriate ceremonies. The com- pany asked Portsmouth $2,000 per mile to aid in building the road. On June 5, 1877, Portsmouth voted on purchasing the Agriculture works for car shops, the vote stood 743 for and 97 against, majority 651. On August 4, 1877 the Cincinnati and Eastern Railroad entered Winchester. There was a great cele- bration over the event at that place. The company had two locomotives, one was named the Stephen Feike and the other Dick Thompson, and those two gentlemen came riding into Winchester on the pilots, and the locomotives were covered with flowers. All of Adams County was gathered there on that occa- sion, as this was the first Railroad, and so far has been the only one, to enter the borders of the county.

January 17, 1877 the subscribers of the Ohio and Michigan Railroad were turned over to the Scioto Valley road and on March 11, 1877 the people of Portsmouth were called on to extend their subscription to the Scioto Valley Railroad for 90 days. April 10, 1877, at two o'clock, ground was broken on the city hospital grounds for the construction of the Scioto Valley Railroad. $115, 600 had been raised and Geo. D. Chapman subscribed $5,000 more, making $120,000. There were 2,000 people on the grounds. J. B. Gregory and R. A. Bryan laid off the ground and Dan McFarland made the address, then the fol- lowing persons each threw a spade full off earth: Col. Peter Kinney, Dr. G. S. B. Hempstead, Jas. Lodwick, James O. Johnson, John P. Terry, Aaron Noel, John G. Peebles, and Col. John A. Turley. The Kinney guards fired a salute until twenty rounds had been fired. Hon. W. A. Hutchins made the address of the occasion.

April 25, 1877, Col. J. E. Wharton was soliciting in Adams County to se- cure rights of way for the Cincinnati and Eastern Railroad Company.
