Each scholar is given a preparatory course in wood-working and mechanical drawing, in connection with the studies in the school-room,

and extending through six months. At the end of that period he is placed at one of the following three trades : wood-working in its various branches, such as carpentering, pattern- making, cabinet-making, etc .; building, in- cluding brick-laying, tile, range and boiler set- ting, etc .; plastering and stone masonry ; ma- chine trade in all its usual details, including practical training in steam and electrical en- gineering, steam-fitting, etc.
The school is situated on high and healthy ground, commanding an extensive view of the surrounding country. The main buildings are: One four-story administration hall, two hundred by one hundred and seventy feet ; three shops ; one power house ; six three-story cottages, or homes, for scholars, and six dwell- ings for officers. These with barn, ice house, pump house, land, roads, water and drainage systems, shop, school equipments and furni- ture, have cost about $450,000. The first class, of sixty young men, will be graduated April 2, 1894, and the average number of pupils in at- tendance is one hundred and sixty.
Much of the efficiency of the school is due to the efforts of its president, John M. Shrig- ley, who has been connected with the school ever since its organization, and who has dis- played zeal, fidelity and ability in his work. Robert Crawford is its efficient superintendent.
OIL REFINING.
The year 1892 is remarkable in the history of the county for the opening of great indus- trial schools, the building of an electric railway. and the establishment of the oil refining in- dustry on the river front, below Marcus Hook, where the Bear Creek oil works were erected between April and November, 1892.
The plant of the Bear Creek Refining Com- pany comprises sixty acres of land, with eight hundred feet of river frontage, and among the buildings are: storage, boiler, engine, and bleaching houses, and a blacksmith shop and barrel factory. There are several storage
tanks and sixteen oil stills. The crude oil is brought in several pipe lines from the oil reg- ions in the western part of the State three hun- dred miles away. The storage capacity of the works is several million gallons. Two hun- dred men are employed, and the company ships their refined oil by river and by the Penn- sylvania and Reading railroads, each of which has a branch running to the works.
ELECTRIC RAILWAYS.
Truly wonderful has been the great develop- ment of rapid and convenient methods of travel in this land since the war. Within the last five years electric railroads have grown from city street car lines to short distance routes between many important towns in this country.
Delaware county is not behind any of her sister counties in the United States in respect to such roads. On December 6, 1892, the Chester and Media Electric Railway was or- ganized, and made a change from horse to electric motive power on the Chester City street railway, then about three miles in length. Soon the enterprise of the company pushed the road north to Upland and Media, and south to Marcus Hook. The road has now an aggregate mileage of twenty-five miles, and its three branches are : Chester City and Marcus Hook, fifteen miles ; Chester City and Media, eight miles; and Chester City and Upland, two miles.
The capital stock of the company is one hundred thousand dollars. The officers of the company are : S. A. Dyer, president ; J. G. Dyer, secretary and treasurer ; and John Mac- Fazen, superintendent. The members of the board of directors are : S. A. Dyer, Richard Wetherill, W. B. Broomall, William Appleby and William Wilson.
It has been predicted that the Chester elec- tric railway will eventually run south by Lin- wood and Claymont to Wilmington, and ex- tend north to Broad street, Philadelphia.

BIOGRAPHY AND HISTORY
ELEMENTS OF POPULATION.
In order of age the elements of population in Delaware county seem to be, as far as can be ascertained, as follows: Swedes, Finns, Dutch, English and Welsh Quakers, Welslı, French, English, Irish, German, Scotch-Irish and Scotch.
The Swedes settled from Tinicum down to Upland. The Finns dwelt below Marcus Hook, in what was called Finland. The Dutch, few in numbers, were scattered all along the Delaware. The English and Welsh Quakers first settled at Upland and then spread out over every section, and the English Quakers, by weight of numbers and prominence in civil life, stamped their character upon the county, whose affairs they controlled until the Revo- lutionary war. The Welsh were respectable in numbers, were Quakers and Baptists, and the latter settled in Haverford and Radnor townships. The French were comprised in the few Acadian exiles that were assigned in 1758 to the townships. A few of the English came as redemptioners, but others in comfort- able circumstances afterwards arrived and sought for homes. The Irish furnished a part of the redemptioners, and also sent a more prosperous class by the year 1770. The Germans contributed a very small share to the redemption emigration, and were few in numbers. The Scotch-Irish mainly passed through the county to settle in the Scotch- Irish Presbyterian district of what is now Chester county. The Scotch, like the Ger- man and Scotch-Irish, were few in num- bers, but made comfortable homes for them- selves.
At the opening of the Revolutionary strug- gle these different elements were composed of the choicest spirits of their respective races. The Swedes were industrious and inclined to be peaceable, as were also the few Finns and Dutch. The English Quakers, distinguished for intelligence, education, patient industry and honest thrift, honored the religion of
peace they professed by refusing to join in an appeal to arms in the arbitrament of Colonial wrongs, and in uncomplainingly allowing them- selves to be plundered alike by opposing armies, while their philanthropy led them to succor the distressed and suffering of all par- ties throughout the entire struggle for Inde- pendence. The French were enthusiastic and daring. The Irish were impulsive and brave ; the Scotch and Scotch-Irish were hardy, moral and fearless ; and the English were noted for a high sense of honor and a lofty spirit of in- dependence, while the Welsh, like the Eng- lish, could not be excelled for intelligence and bravery, and were ever foremost in times of danger.
Since the Revolution all of these elements except the Swede, the Finn and the Dutch have been largely re-inforced by emigration from their fatherlands in the old world.
Of the present largely homogenous popula- tion of Delaware county we are able to trace its immigrant factor by the census back nearly a quarter of a century to 1870, and find in that year that of its 39,403 people, 7,030, or nearly one-fifth, were from beyond the sea ; 4,360 coming from Ireland ( being Irish and Scotch-Irish); 2, 148 from England and Wales; 206 from Scotland; 197 from Germany, and 26 from France. Ten years later, in 1880, the population of Delaware county of foreign birth had increased from 7,030 to 9,360, an increase of 2,330, being an average of 233 for each year of the decade from 1870 to 1880.
PROGRESS OF THE COUNTY.
The story of the settlements on the Dela- ware was one of no real progress until Penn set foot on the shores of that noble stream to become the greatest province-builder of the new world. The growth of the county in numbers and in wealth was checked by the Revolution ; but after that great struggle came a half a century of steady agricultural pro- gress, during which the population more than
85
OF DELAWARE COUNTY.
doubled itself. Then was ushered into exis- tence the present manufacturing period, in which population has trebled itself in less than fifty years. Although interrupted by the civil war, manufacturing has become the great factor of the county's substantial progress and enduring prosperity.
Parallel with the material development of the county has been the growth of the educa- tional, moral and religious institutions of its people.
The first and greatest element of Delaware county's material prosperity is her cotton and woolen manufactures, introduced after the second war with England ; the second great element is her home and international iron ship-building industry at Chester, established in 1871, by John Roach ; and a third great element is her railway suburban towns of Phil- adelphia, inaugurated in 1872 by the founding of Ridley Park, and having so far finest de- velopment in Wayne, created in 1880 by George W. Childs, the great editor and phil- anthropist, whose death, in the early Feb- ruary days of 1894, called forth sorrowing messages from every quarter of the globe.
No great stretch of imagination on the part of many close observers is needed to picture, in the near future, the growing of these sub- urban towns into a continuous extension of Philadelphia to Chester, and from thence through South Chester and Upland to Wil- mington, filling up the narrow tide-water dis- trict of the county with a dense mass of urban population.
Delaware county is assured of an important and useful future. Vast as is the volume of her manufactures great as is the growth of her population, and remarkable as is the ex- pansion of her ship-building and a score of other new born industries, yet the "security for prosperity, the guaranty against disaster, and the promise of progress" for her, lies in the keen intelligence and the conservative character of her people, who are distinguished for their patriotism and philanthropy. 6a
CHAPTER XIII.
COURTS-MEMBERS OF THE DELAWARE COUNTY BAR - PUBLIC BUILDINGS CIVIL AND JUDICIAL LISTS.
COURTS.
Swedish justice was dispensed at Tinicum by Gov. John Printz, who was to " decide all con- troversies according to the laws, customs and usages of Sweden." The Dutch records throw but little light on the legal tribunals which they established on the Delaware. Their first courts seemed to have been at New Castle or Christiana. Later they held a court at Fort Altena, and when the English took possession they established an inferior court at Upland. The Dutch, during their second occupation, continued a court at Upland, and when Gov- ernor Andross took permanent possession for the English, he located a tribunal of jus- tice at Upland with the powers of a court of sessions, having restricted jurisdiction over civil and criminal cases. This court was re- moved to Kingsessing for one year, and then was called by Governor Markham at Upland, where in 1683 was summoned the first grand jury of record in the State.
The courts for Chester county met at Ches- ter until the county seat was removed to West Chester in 1786. Three years later the courts of the new created county of Delaware were called to meet at Chester, where they re- mained until 1851, when they were removed to Media, the present county seat.
A jury of women were summoned at a Ches- ter court in 1689, and was the only jury of women that was called in the United States until a century later a similar jury was im- paneled at Morgantown, Virginia, now West Virginia.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The public buildings, excepting the county homes, were first at Chester, where they re- mained for sixty-two years, and then in 1851 the present ones were erected at Media.

BIOGRAPHY AND HISTORY
COURT HOUSES.
The first building used for court purposes was Neeles Laerson's inn, which is believed to have stood on Edgmout avenue, north of the present Second street, Chester. This inn was so used between 1675 and 1678.
In 1678 the " House of Defense " was fitted up for court sittings. It was a rectangular log building, fourteen by fifteen feet in dimen- sions, and stood on the east side of Edgmont avenue, about eighty-four feet from the pres- ent Second street.
The third court house was built in 1684-85, and was located by Dr. Smith on the east side of Edgmont avenue, while the later writers place it on the west side of that highway.
In 1695 John Hoskins built the fourth court house on the west side of Edgmont avenue, opposite the "House of Defense," and two hundred and fifty-six feet and six inches from the southwest corner of Edgmont avenue and Third street.
The fifth court house is the old city hall on Market street, Chester, and was built in 1724. In it were held the courts of Delaware county until the county seat was removed in 1851 to Media.
In 1851 the main part of the sixth and pres- ent court house was completed by the con- tractors, Joseph Esrey. John Williamson, and Joseph Lawson, who received thirty-two thous- and dollars for erecting the court house and the old part of the present jail. The court house becoming too small for the transaction of the county business, it was enlarged in 1871 by the addition of two wings, two stories in height, and each thirty-eight feet square. John Hinkson, of Chester, erected the wings for twenty-nine thousand dollars.
JAILS.
The first jail was built in 1684-85, near Ches- ter creek, and in 1795, when the third court house was erected. the cellar of that building was used for jail purposes.
Some time between 1718 and 1724, the third jail and a "work-house" was built on the
northwest corner of Fourth and Market streets, Chester. It was two stories high, built of square cut stone, and was used until 1851, when the county seat was removed to Media.
In 1851 the contractors who finished the court house also completed the first part of the fourth and present jail at Media. In 1868 an addition of forty-three by forty-eight feet was built to the jail, and nine years later the stone wall around the prison was extended and raised by William Armstrong, at a cost of nearly six thousand dollars. In 1878 a new three-story building was erected, adjoining the original structure. It was seventy feet long and forty-seven feet high, containing six work rooms and thirty-six cells, and costing sixteen thousand one hundred and forty dollars.
COUNTY HOMES.
The first county home, or county poor-house, was built some time shortly after 1804, on a farm purchased near the site of Media. The farm at first contained one hundred and thirty- three acres. The old poor-house was a stone structure forty by one hundred feet in dimen- sions.
The second and present county home, or house of employment, was built in 1856-57, on the Abraham Pennell farm, near Lima. at a cost of twenty thousand dollars. The main building of the home is a three-story structure, with an observatory, to which is attached two wings. A hospital and a cook-house have been erected, and an addition made to the de- partment for the insaue.

CIVIL AND JUDICIAL LISTS.
The history of the territory of Delaware county commenced at the same time as the history of Pennsylvania, and spans a period of two hundred and eleven years. During this entire length of time the people of what is now Delaware county have had civil officers and State representation, first as a part of Chester county, and then as a separate politi- cal organization of their own.
We give the following lists of Congressmen, State senators and members of the assembly, and civil officers of the county, from 1682 to 1893.
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

The apportionment act of 1791 made Del- aware and Philadelphia counties the First Congressional district, and they were so con- tinued by the acts of 1802 and 1812.
By the act of 1822 Chester, Delaware and Lancaster counties were made the Fourth Congressional district. The act of 1843 placed Delaware and Montgomery counties together to constitute the Fifth district. In 1852 Dela- ware and Chester counties were made to con- stitute the Sixth district, while the apportion- ment of 1862 continued the counties together, but changed the name of the district from that of Sixth to Seventh.
The act of 1873 continued the same coun- ties, but changed the name back from that of Seventh to Sixth. By the act of 1887 the Sixth district remained unchanged. Delaware and Chester have constituted the same district under different names from 1852 to 1893, a period of forty years.
