Williams, commander; William R. Ed- wards, recorder. The object of the order is to aid its members in distress, according to the necessity of each case.

WINTON BOROUGH.

HIS borough comprises the warantee tracts of Thomas and Benjamin Bell, Herrington, Robert Dana, Sarah Dana, Eliza Rought, William Rowle, R. Lewis, Daniel Lewis and Sternheimer.

Prior to 1848 Judge L. S. Watres, now of Scran- ton, had a saw-mill at Winton, which was then known as Mount Vernon.

The land in the borough is now owned by coal and railway companies, the Erie Railway, Pierce Mining Company, W. W. Winton and Filer & Livy being the principal owners. The borough contains two small ham- lets; Jessup, in the southern part, on the site of the Jes- sup colliery, is occupied by miners' families. A number of low saloons, a hotel opened in 1880 by W. R. Burke, and a small grocery store comprise its business interests.

Winton contains the colliery store of Filer & Livy and the office and breaker of the Pierce Coal Company and three school-houses, and had 905 inhabitants in 1880.

The borough was incorporated in 1877, the first bur- gess being W. J. Burke, who served for two years; for justices, Henry T. Howell and James F. Loftus were elected.

The officers for 1880 were: Burgess, P. F. McAndrew; councilmen, J. F. Loftus, James Ward, Michael Howard, Martin Lynch, Martin Walsh, Michael Sweeney; school directors, W. H. O'Connor, W. J. Burke, John Ward, John Walsh, J. E. McDermott, Thomas Gallagher.

MINING HISTORY.

In the year 1855 Judge Jessup, Michael Meylert, H. S. Pierce, Samuel Meredith and others, under the cor- porate title of the Lackawanna Railroad Company, com- menced building a railroad from Dunmore to Jessup and established extensive coal works and railroad shops. A

shaft was sunk by Andrew Nicol, and the shipment of coal commenced in 1857. The enterprise proved a dis- astrous failure and the financial ruin of several of the proprietors, and caused great loss to creditors, including small tradesmen and employes of the company. The lands have since passed into the hands of the Erie Rail- way Company. The village built up by the excitement has become an unimportant hanilet.

The Livy breaker, erected in 1880, will employ several hundred men and boys, and bids fair to restore the lost prestige of Jessup.

The Pierce Coal Company's Breaker was erected by Filer & Livy in 1872, at a cost of about $50,000, and sold to its present owners in 1877 for $22,000, the purchase including eighteen acres. The coal is mined from drifts in Archbald some two miles north of the breaker, the mine being connected with it by a railroad. The work- ings extend about a mile and a half from the opening.and one shaft has been sunk ninety two feet. The vein worked is the Archbald, nine feet thick. The total num- ber of men and boys employed is 237. Two mine loco- motives are in use, and one breaker and two pair of hoisting engines. The capacity of the breaker is 800 tons daily; average production about 500 tons. Opera- tions were commenced in December, 1877,and to January Ist, 1880, the total shipments were 170,000 tons. The com- pany bought eleven hundred acres from the heirs of Charles Wirtz, of Philadelphia. It has invested about $90,000 in lands, workings and working plant. The office of the company is at Archbald. Its incorporators were Edward Jones, J. Hosie, H. B. Phelps and H. S. Phelps.

The Filer Breaker .- This colliery, on the Elizabeth Rought tract, was erected in 1874. The first coal was shipped in May, 1875. George Filer and Thomas Livy were the builders and are the owners. When working to full capacity about 500 men and boys are employed. The capacity of the breaker is 800 tons daily; production about 600. Five pumps are worked in the mines and three pairs of stationary engines. The veins worked are the Archbald, with an average depth of seven feet, and the Grassy Island, averaging twelve feet. Workings ex- tend through portions of the Jessup tract, owned by the firm the Bell tract, owned by the Hillside Coal Com- pany; the Rought tract, owned by Winton & Dolf, and the Dana tract, owned by W. W. Winton and others. The firm has thirty-five tenant houses and a large store for supplying its men. The outside foreman is F. K. Taylor, the inside foreman R. D. Roberts.

THE LACKAWANNA PAINT WORKS.

This establishment was founded by Morton, Stevens & Co., in September, 1878, for making mineral paints from a vein on the David Brown tract. The present proprietors are Morton & Swift. The paints made are umber and sienna, burned and raw. The firm controls the only veins of the kind in this part of the State and makes a staple article cheaply and under very favorable circumstances.

CARBONDALE AND CLIFTON TOWNSHIPS.

CARBONDALE TOWNSHIP.

HE pioneer settler, David Ailsworth, from Rhode Island, located in 1802 on the " Mer- edith place." He began clearing a farm, built a little log cabin, and in the fall re- turned to Rhode Island for his family. The next spring lie settled permanently back on the side of the mountain. Mrs. Ailsworth was the pioneer weaver of Carbondale.

The next settlers in this rough wilderness were James Holden and family, who came in 1805 and began a clearing near Ailsworth's. In two years they removed west.

In 1806 Franklin Ailsworth, son of David, came. Pe- ter Wedenian and James Lewis in 1807 located on " Ragged island." Lewis remained but two years. Wede- man stayed and raised a family here. His attire was very imposing. He wore a bearskin for a coat, the fore legs serving for sleeves; a fawn skin vest, buck skin pants, and a raccoon skin cap with the tail hanging behind when worn.

From 1809 Roswell B. Johnson, from New York, lived five years near the old toll house below Carbondale city. Early in the spring of 1809 George Parker and his son-in- law, Winley Skinner, made a clearing on the "big flats," now occupied by a portion of Carbondale. They staid but a few months.

Christopher E. Wilbur, from Dutchess county, N. Y., located in 1810 on the Horace Stiles place. He came to manufacture the old fashioned wooden spinning wheels used along the border at that time. Nearly every fireside in the valley was soon gladdened by the hum of his wheels. He built a miniature grist-mill in 1812, on the small stream near where he lived. It had but one run of stones, no bolt, and the corn crushed by it had to pass through a common seive before being fit for use. In 1813 his house was thrown open for the use of a school and for religious services, and Elder John Miller, a Baptist, and Mr. Cramer, a Methodist, alternately preached once a month.

The wild land about Carbondale was originally owned by an Englishman named Russell, living at Sunbury. In 1812 it came into possession of William and Maurice Wurts, of Philadelphia, and they gave the name "Car- bondale." It was a part of Blakely and Greenfield town- ships, and in April, 1831, Carbondale township and city, and a portion of Gibsonburg borough, containing in all 23 square miles, were set off from these townships and named "Carbondale."

In November, 1822, the Wurts brothers built a low, long log house for the occupancy of themselves and the workmen employed by them in digging for the black dia- monds. Nothing but a single path by marked trees then led up through this township; it passed out through Rix's gap. The pioneer framed house was built in October, 1828, by James W. Goff, afterward sheriff of the county. The Milford and Owego turnpike was built about this

time, and in this year the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company completed their road to this township, which was then its western terminus.

The population was 721 in 1870, and 1, 163 in 1880.

Since the election of justices of the peace by the people the following gentlemen have been chosen for this town- ship:

Henry P. Ensign, 1840; Gilbert Burrows, 1840; Robert MeFarlane, 1842; Bartholomew Morrison, 1843. 1844; William Root, 1843, 1844, 1849; Archi- bald Law, 1845; Silas S. Benediet, 1847; Philander S. Joslin, 1849; Gideon W. Palmer, 1849; John Godding, 1851, 1857; Horaee Stiles, 1854; Ira A. Goodrich, 1876.

CLIFTON TOWNSHIP.

P DECEMBER 14th. 1875, this township was formed from Covington. . It was originally a part of "Drinker's Beech."

Jacob Gress, the first settler, located about 1840, on his present place. Here he opened a tavern in the most primitive style. The old historic log house subsequently gave way to the present frame building, of ancient architec- ture. The old " bar-room " sign in yellow letters on a green door at the south end of the house is still visible. Jacob Gress is the oldest resident of Clifton, and delights to entertain his visitors with blood-chilling bear and panther stories. He has been a mighty hunter in his day. He is the hero of seventy-three bear skins, and has killed over seven hundred deer, a large number of panthers and wolves, and much small game.

The next tavern was built by R. Gersbacher, on the plank road, in the southwest corner of the township. He located here in 1857, and in 1863 built his present large and commodious Plank Road Hotel. He also built and kept a store at this place in 1870, and a blacksmith shop in 1872.

The first store, however, was built in 1863 or 1864 by Herbine, Baum & Co., at Clifton. The saw-mill here was built in 1852 by Colonel Drinker, and was subse- quently sold to Herbine, Baum & Co., who carried on the lumber business until May 20th, 1875, when mill and other buildings were burned. About 1850 Colonel Drinker built a saw-mill nearly a mile northeast from Clifton village, and in 1867 or 1868 the Reading Lumber Company built a steam saw-mill at the same place. This company also had a store and blacksmith shop, and car- ried on a very extensive lumber business. There is no business done at present, the place consisting of a school- house and four or five dwellings. In 1873 or 1874 J. J. Wagenhorst built a steam saw-mill about half way from Gersbacher's hotel to Gress's hotel. In 1875 the boiler exploded, destroying the mill, killing a Mr. Hoffert, and injuring several other persons. The mill has not been rebuilt.

There are but two school-houses in this township- one at the Reading Lumber Company's mills, built in

474

1854, and the other on the Drinker turnpike, south of Gress's hotel, built later.

The first postmaster at Clifton was H. W. Drinker, who was appointed about 1852. The present postmaster is William Rees, who is also one of the largest lumber dealers in the township.

W. L. Harvey was elected justice of the peace March 17th, 1877. The population of the township in 1880 was 282.

COVINGTON TOWNSHIP.

BOUT 25,000 acres, including this township, was purchased of the State in 1787 by Henry Drinker, father of H. W. and Richard Drinker. It has since been known as " Drinker's Beech," from the timber that cov- ered it. In the summer of 1814 these lands were resurveyed by Jackson Torrey, of Beth- any. Wayne county, into lots averaging one hundred acres each. Lots were sold at $5 per acre on five years credit, the first two years without interest; payment to be made in lumber, shingles, labor, stock, produce, or any- thing the farmer had to spare.

The township of Covington was formed in 1818 from the township of Wilkes-Barre, and embraced at that time the whole of Drinker's possessions in the south part of old Luzerne county. It was named Covington at the suggestion of H. W. Drinker, in honor of Brigadier Gen- eral Covington, who fell at the battle of Williamsburg, in Upper Canada.

ENCAMPMENTS AND CLEARINGS.

The first encampment of the force of the Messrs. Drinker was made in 1815 near the mouth of Wild Mea- dow brook, now known as Mill creek, on the Lehigh river, where they built a bark shelter and slept rolled in their blankets on a bed of boughs, while a large fire blazed in front of the cabin. Now and then they were annoyed by the serenade of a school of owls attracted to the camp by the strange glare of the fire, or the piercing screams of the sleepless panther, and in damp weather by the bite of the gnats, or "punkies," as they were some- times called. Trout and venison fed them abundantly, but if they needed other provisions supplies were taken up the Lehigh from Stoddardsville in a large batteau, towed by horse power and pushed with the setting pole.

The first clearing was made in Drinker's settlement, in 1815, by the late H. W. Drinker, on a ridge of land about a quarter of a mile south of his late residence, where he built a log house.

In 1792 John Delong, of Stroudsburg. was employed by Mr. Drinker, with several others, to mark or cut a wagon road to these beechen possessions, from a point at or near "the twenty-one mile tree" on the north and south road, also called the "Drinker road " from the

fact that it was opened principally at the expense of Henry Drinker. The road cut by Delong extended in an easterly direction, passing Lake Henry, and crossed the line of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Rail- road, and thence taking a southerly course terminated on the Bell Meadow brook, a tributary of the Lehigh. After the return of the choppers the road grew full of underbrush and was a thoroughfare only to the hunter and his game. In reopening it in 1821 the inscription " Henry Drinker, 1792" was found rudely carved upon a tree. The celebrated " Drinker turnpike " was built through this township in 1828, the charter having been obtained in 1819. This road runs nearly due north and south through the township. Its terminal points were Philadelphia and Great Bend. The next road was from near J. Kitson's to Turnersville.

Among the early settlers were Edward Wardell, David Dale, Esby and William Holmes, George Frazee, John Genther, Henry Ospuck, John Thompson, Jacob Gress, Patrick, Owen and John Simpson, Thomas and George White, William and John Copeland and Daniel Staples.

The first grist-mill was built in 1864, by Nicholas Marcy, in the northeast corner of the township, on Roaring brook. It is now owned by Mr. Poston, and operated by A. Hinds, of Moscow. The pioneer saw-mill was built in 1821, by Esby and William Holmes, and was subsequently burned. It stood on the site of William Beck's mill. A saw-mill was built about 1840 on Roar- ing brook, at the grist-mill of Mr. Poston, which is still operated by A. Hinds. The first steam saw-mill was built by David Dale in 1855. Another was soon after built by Daniel Staples. The next was built by David Dale & Sons, on the Spring Brook road, a little west of Daleville. This mill, four houses and two barns were burned in May, 1880, by forest fires. The next steam saw-mill was built by William Dale & Sons, at Daleville .. Each of the present mills is doing an extensive business.

In 1827, when Edward Wardell, jr., was township col- lector, the duplicate amounted to $96. The territory embraced in the township at that time covered the present townships of Covington, Buck, Lehigh, Clifton, Spring Brook and Madison. There was no one living in what is now Spring Brook township. Mr. Wardell was the first justice of the peace for Covington township, and served 25 years. He was 75 years of age in July, 1880.

The first settler at what is now Holgate's Mill was Mathew Hodgson, who came from London, England, and built a log house at the intersection of the Lake Henry road and the Drinker turnpike. Both roads and teams were rather scarce, and to get boards for a floor and door Mr. Hodgson carried the lumber on his back from the Lehigh river-six miles. The old log cabin gave way to a frame house a little nearer the turnpike, the foundation of which is still visible. Soon after Mr. Hodgson other settlers came in.

As a great deal of the timber in this vicinity was sugar maple, sugar making in the spring was the principal busi- ness. After that was over, the pioneers would strap a portion of the sweet proceeds of their labor upon their

backs and start for the store at Nobletown, in Wayne county, a distance of ten miles; there they exchanged their sugar for a few of the necessaries of life, such as snuff, tea, tobacco, and occasionally a little rum, just for camphor.

The pioneer who, more fortunate than his neighbor, owned a cow and an ox, would hitch them together to do logging, farming and milling. The nearest mills were at Stoddardsville, down on the Lehigh, and at Slocum Hollow, now Scranton. Previous to the advent of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad the product of the Holgate mills had to be carted to Philadelphia on wagons, which took ten days to make a trip.
