AKRON AND SUMMIT COUNTY.

E. O. Knox; the offices of Dr. A. H. Bill, physician, and Dr. E. A. Cramer, dentist, and the reading room of Mr. John H. Brainard, together with a small dwelling house belonging to the same estate, were entirely consumed. Losses: Cook, $3,500, insurance, $1,000; Knox, $5,000, insurance, $500; Lodge block, $4,000, insurance, $2,500; dwelling, $1,200, insurance, $700; Brainard, loss $100, no insurance. Fearing a general conflagration, Mayor J. C. Castle solicited the aid of the Akron Fire Department, which was promptly granted by Mayor Lane, but owing to the delay in shipping steamer by rail, did not reach the Falls until the fire was under control, though the run was made inside of twenty minutes when they did get started.

About 10:30 o'clock, on the night of July 1st, 1886, the Phoenix Lumber Company's Planing Mill, opposite the Empire Paper Mill, on the east side of the river, with all its machinery, lumber sheds, piles of lumber, etc., was totally destroyed, the size of the mill being 53 by 112 feet. The hollow-brick works belonging to the estate of J. B. Harrison, occupied by J. T. Davis in the manufacture of chains, and the dwelling house of Mrs. Edward Rockwell, were also consumed, while the Empire Paper Mill, and the buildings of the Sterling Chain Company, owned by Turner, Vaughn & Taylor · were considerably damaged. The planing mill buildings were owned by Mr. H. Snyder and the machinery by Mr. J. H. Murphy, these gentlemen forming the lumber company in question. Their joint loss was claimed to be $40,000, on which there was a total · insurance of $12,050 only. Harrison building loss, $3,500, insurance not stated; Davis' loss, $500, no insurance; Mrs. Rockwell's loss, $1,200, insurance $800; Turner, Vaughn & Taylor's loss, $150, covered by insurance. This fire was supposed to have been caused by the firing off of Roman candles from a passing train on the P., C. & T. Road, in anticipation of the approaching Fourth of July.

At the hour of 6:30, on the evening of December 8, 1887, the roof of the moulding department of the Falls Rivet Company was discovered to be on fire near the cupola stack, from which it is supposed the fire caught. The building was a story and a half frame, 32x120. Finding the fire beyond the control of the "bucket brigade," and the capacity of the hose attached to the steam pump of the engine belonging to the works, Chief B. F. Manderbach, of the Akron Fire Department, was appealed to for aid, and in the briefest time possible was at the scene of the fire with steamer No. 1 and its hose cart, fully manned. But by cutting away the sup- ports and letting the foundry roof fall in, the danger to the main works was averted, and the services of the Akron "laddies" were not needed, but their promptness in responding to the call for aid was duly appreciated all the same by the owners of the works, as well as by the citizens generally, the company contributing $20 to the Firemen's Relief Fund as a token of such appreciation. In addition to the foundry, a contiguous storage shed was burned. Loss, $22,000, insurance, $13,000.

Many minor conflagrations have occurred during the period covered by those above given, involving serious losses, which can- not all be here enumerated, even were full data at hand, but among them may be mentioned in brief, barn of J. F. Perry, $700; house of Orrin James, $500; house of Mrs. Duerr, $500; barn of John I. Jones, $1,000; grocery of Callahan & Williams, $1,500.

CIVIL SERVICE RECORD.

INADEQUATE FIRE PROTECTION .- Cuyahoga Falls has never been the owner of a fire engine. For several years past there have been lines of pipe from the Variety Works and the Pearl Mill, through the main business street upon the west side, driven by pumps attached to the water-wheels of those establishments, which, with the few hundred feet of hose they possess, has afforded par- tial protection to a limited area, the defect in this partial system being that, not having the pressure constantly on, valuable time is consumed, after the fire is discovered, before a stream of water can be had for its extinguishment in its incipiency.

Since the above was written this system has been considerably extended and improved, with hydrants at convenient points, hose and hook and ladder trucks, and a well organized fire com- pany, paid for services when on duty, so that the property of the village may now be said to be reasonably well protected.

HEZEKIAH CAMP,-son of Keziah and Seth Camp, born in Whites- town, New York, January 3, 1797; good common school education ; in 1827 came to Ohio, teaching in Can- ton and Kendall, now a part of Mas- sillon, later, in Trenton, Tuscarawas county, engaging in the coal trade, being one of the pioneer operators in that .industry. in Northern Ohio; in 1840, with William Philpot, opened the De Haven mine in Springfield, Mr. Camp locating in Cleveland for the sale and shipment of their prod- ttct on the Lakes ; in 1852, dissolving with Mr. Philpot. removed to Middle- bury, as a member of the firm of Hill, Merrill & Co., pioneer manufacturers of water and sewer pipe in Summit county, later locating at Cuyahoga Falls, where his only son, Mr. Horace B. Camp, as senior member of the firm of Camp, Thompson & Co., is now extensively engaged in the same line of business. December 7, 1830, Mr. Camp was married to Miss Abi- gail Fosdick, of Kendall, born in New Baltimore, New York, September 18, 1812, their only living child being the son above mentioned. Mr. Camp

died August 1, 1872, aged 75 years, 6 months and 28 days. Mrs. Camp, in full possession of both her physical and mental faculties, still survives.

. STREET LIGHTING .- Hitherto for several years the streets of the village have been lighted by gasoline vapor lamps, but as this chapter closes (October, 1891), electric lighting is in full tide of suc- cessful experiment.

OFFICIAL CIVIL RECORD .- Without going back of the organiza- tion of Summit county, in 1840, although Judge William Wetmore, Judge Elkanah Richardson, and others living in, or largely inter- ested in Cuyahoga Falls, had previously filled important official positions in Portage county, and notwithstanding her original opposition to the erection of the new county, the civil service record of Cuyahoga Falls, in Summit county, is one that she may well feel proud of. /

HON. ELISHA N. SILL was the first State senator for the Sum- mit-Portage district, elected in October, 1840, for two years.

ROBERT S. PAUL was appointed county surveyor by the county commissioners, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of his- father in June, 1870, elected to the office in October, of the same year, for three years; again appointed in February, 1874, to fill the vacancy occasioned by resignation of Surveyor-elect Jacob Mishler, of Springfield, serving until October, 1877; again elected in 1877 and 1880, giving to the position, in all, about ten years efficient: service.

HON. HENRY MCKINNEY was elected prosecuting attorney in October, 1856, and re-elected in 1858, making a first-class officer for two full terms; was draft commissioner for Summit county during the war; State senator for the Summit-Portage district, 1869 to 1871; and since his removal to Cleveland, in 1873, has officiated as judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga county some seven or eight years.

Goodhue, was, on the 15th day of September, 1883, appointed by Governor Charles Foster, to fill the vacancy; was elected to the office in October, 1884, and re-elected in 1877, it being conceded by all, that this important office never had a more faithful or efficient incumbent.
