In 1859 two companies were organized, of one of which E. B. Harvey was president and C. C. Plotz fore- man. This company used the "Triton" engine, which was rechristened the "Goodwill," and existed until the organization of the paid fire department. The other company used an engine which had been known as the " Reliance" but which they called the "Protector." George N. Reichard was the foreman. The organization subsequently disbanded and another was formed, which used the same engine and, with Henry Frederick as fore- man, existed until superseded by the paid department. Another company worthy of mention during this period was composed of boys who "run" the old " Neptune" and were led by James Rutter. With these three com- panies the fire department was systematically organized. Walter G. Sterling was the first chief engineer under this organization. Hon. Henry M. Hoyt was assistant engi- neer. Joseph W. Patten was also for a time chief engi- neer. The department's annual parades and balls are well remembered affairs.

The paid fire department was established by authority of the borough council in April, 1871, with Hon. Stanley Woodward as chief engineer, and S. H. Sturdevant, C. C. Plotz, and W. Stewart assistant engineers. The apparatus consisted of one steamer, the " Mechanic," presented to the department by the late A. C. Laning, four hose car- riages and one set of hook and ladder implements with the truck. The steamer had an engineer and stoker; each of the hose companies consisted of eight men be- sides the foreman and assistant foreman; and there were fifteen men in the hook and ladder company. Subse- quently three additional hose companies with their apparatus were added to the department, and in May, 1874, the second steamer, named the "A. C. Laning," in honor of the donor of the first, was purchased. Hose Company No. 3 was attached to this steamer, and was thereafter known as No. 2 in the department.

Hon. Stanley Woodward served with much credit as chief engineer until January Ist, 1880, at which time his resignation took effect. He was succeeded by C. B.

FIRES AND FLOODS AT WILKES-BARRE-BANKS.

There have not been many sweeping conflagrations in Wilkes-Barre. In the early days, and previous to 1848, there were few fires, and when there was one it seldom destroyed more than one or two buildings. In that year the Black Bear Tavern and other buildings near the old jail were burned, it is supposed by an incendiary in the hope that in the confusion a murderer confined in the jail might escape. In 1855 the buildings on the east side of the public square, including the Exchange Hotel and the old Butler mill, from Main street to the residence of the late Judge Scott, were burned. All of the buildings on the north side of the square from the Luzerne House to Chahoon Hall were destroyed in 1859. In April, 1867, the buildings on both sides of West Market street, from Franklin street to Loomis's building on the north side, and from the Wyoming National Bank to Fraser's building on the south side, were burned. Two old taverns, the White Horse and the Dennis House, were swept away in this fire. The next fire of importance was that of January Ist, 1874, which burned the Frauen- thal Opera House. The last to date (October, 1879), was that which destroyed the Stanton breaker, partly within the city limits, which burned seven hours. Had it not been for the efficiency of the fire department, which the underwriters rate only fourth or fifth in the first class, it is probable fires would have been more frequent and ex- tensive during the years of the Wilkes-Barre's rapid growth from an enterprising borough to a busy city.

FLOODS AND HURRICANES.

The first great overflowing of the Susquehanna of which there is any local record occurred in 1785. The water was so high as to injure ammunition in Fort Wy- oming on the public common. A horse was also drowned in the settlement at the same time. The next was the great "pumpkin " flood of 1786. There were other floods of greater or lesser magnitude in 1809, 1831, 1833, 1841, 1842, 1843 and 1846. The latter occurred in the spring, the water standing three and a half feet deep on the river bank in Wilkes-Barre. There was another in July, 1850, which extended to all portions of the country round about, preventing mails from reaching Wilkes-Barre for several days. In the following Septem- ber the water was so high as to cover the flats between Wilkes-Barre and Kingston, and there was no communi- cation between the two places except by means of boats. Another rise of water April 12th and 13th, 1861, filled the cellars on River street and damaged the gas works considerably. March 17th, 1865, the river overflowed the banks and stood in Market street as far up as the crossing in front of Faser & Smith's store, and in several streets in low portions of the city the only means of loco- motion was by boats or rafts improvised for the occasion.

BANKS AND BANKERS.

1810 witnessed the opening of the first banking office in Wilkes-Barre. It was a branch of the Philadelphia

bank. Ebenezer Bowman was president and John Bet- tle cashier. The office was on River street, in a building since owned and occupied by Mrs. Ulp. Notes of the Philadelphia bank were issued, deposits taken, and com- mercial paper discounted until 1820, when the institution was discontinued. "One effect of this branch bank," says Mr. Pearce in his "Annals of Luzerne County," " was to drain the country of its silver, gold being almost unknown." At one time $40,000 in silver were sent to Philadelphia, carefully enclosed in forty small boxes placed in one larger box, which was put in Philip Reed's four-horse wagon and covered with straw, grain, bags, &c. The valuable load was accompanied by Mr. Steuben Butler and Colonel Bowman, one of the bank directors, and five days were occupied in the journey. The Easton and Wilkes-Barre Turnpike Company issued notes of the denominations of 614, 1212 and 25 cents, and of $1 and $2, in 1811, the stringency of the times and the scarcity of a medium of exchange among the people seeming to demand this measure. The aggregate of these notes reached $10,000. They bore the signatures of Lord But- ler and Stephen Tuttle, the president and secretary of the company, and under their management every one of these obligations were called in and redeemed. Wilkes-Barre was an important recruiting station in the war of 1812-14, and the army officers are said to have issued their indi- vidual notes for $1 and $2, which were accepted by the soldiers in payment for their services, and by the farmers in exchange for provisions, all of which are said to have been redeemed.

The Susquehanna Bank, of Wilkes-Barre, was incorpor- ated and organized in 1816, with Joseph Sinton as pres- ident. The notes were engraved, printed and signed, but were never issued, in consequence of the depression in the money market which prevailed at that time, and the bank was never opened. The business here, as else- where, demanded some kind of a circulating medium, and recourse was had by individuals and corporations to the previously tried plan of issuing "shinplasters," as the private money was denominated. At this crisis the progress of trade was aided by the utterance of large amounts of such obligations by the Wilkes-Barre Bridge Company, all of which were redeemed.

The Wyoming National Bank .- This institution was organized November 16th, 1829, under the name of the " Wyoming Bank of Wilkes-Barre," under a charter issued from the commonwealth of Pennsylvania November 4th, 1829. William Ross, Henderson Gaylord, John . N. Conyngham, William Swetland and Isaac Bowman were appointed commissioners to receive subscriptions for the stock. The directors were William Ross, Benjamin Dor- rance, John N. Conyngham, G. M. Hollenback, O. Col- lins, Ziba Bennett, William Swetland, H. Gaylord, James Nesbit, jr., Steuben Butler, Abraham Thomas and Mil- ler Horton. At the first meeting of the board of direct- ors, held November 6th, 1829, Colonel Benjamin Dor- rance was elected president and Ziba Bennett was ap- pointed secretary of the board until a cashier should be appointed. December 19th Edward Lynch was ap-

pointed cashier, at a salary of $600 per annum. Colonel Benjamin Dorrance resigned the office of president November 22nd, 1830, and at the same meeting Garrick Mallery was elected to fill the vacancy thus occasioned, continuing in the position till May 18th, 1831, when he resigned both the presidency and his direct- orship and a week later Colonel Benjamin Dor- rance was again chosen to the presidency. May 30th, 1832, Colonel Dorrance a second time resigned and the position was filled by the election of G. M. Hollen- back, who served until his death, November Ist, 1866. General William S. Ross was elected his successor No- vember 21st, and died July 11th, 1868. Four days later he was succeeded by Hon. Ziba Bennett, who resigned Jan- uary 9th, 1878, and Colonel Charles Dorrance, the present incumbent, was elected. Edward Lynch, elected Decem- ber 7th, 1853, was the first vice president. Ziba Bennett was elected November 21st, 1866; Colonel Charles Dor- rance July 15th, 1868 ; Thomas Derr January 14th, 1879. When Edward Lynch was promoted to the office of vice-president his place as cashier was filled by the appointment of Edward S. Loop, who was succeeded September 3d, 1874, by Lathan W. Jones, the present cashier. Colonel Benjamin Dorrance having died, Colonel Charles Dorrance was elected, in November, 1837, to the vacancy thus made in the board of directors. A well remembered attache of the bank, one of the early directors, was Steuben Butler, who was appointed a clerk at a salary of $300 per annum, January 12th, 1831. March 17th, 1861, the offices of the institution were re- moved to the new bank building at the corner of Market and Franklin streets, which, with the adjoining building on Market street, is owned by the corporation. Under the provision of the national banking laws the bank be- came a national bank, under the title of the Wyoming National Bank of Wilkes-Barre, January 19th, 1865. It has a capital of $150,000. The following were its offi- cers in 1879: Colonel Charles Dorrance, president; Thompson Derr, vice-president ; Lathan W. Jones, cashier; James Jones, assistant cashier; Charles Dor. rance, jr., teller. Directors: Colonel Charles Dorrance, Thompson Derr, Payne Pettebone, J. R. Williams, Joseph Stickney, J. Frank Lee, Hon. Henry M. Hoyt, Hon. Charles A. Miner and Hon. E. C. Wadhams.

The First National Bank was organized April 24th, 1863, and chartered July 21st following. It was opened for business August 3d, 1863, with a capital of $51,500. The present capital (1879) is $375,000. The first presi- dent and cashier were James McLean and Thomas Wil- son, respectively. The present officers are: Charles Par- rish, president; Thomas Long, vice-president; Henry C. Smith, cashier; James McLean, teller; W. R. Kingman, bookkeeper.

The Second National Bank was organized September 23d, 1863, with a capital of $250,000, which was subse- quently increased to $450,000. The first officers were Thomas T. Atherton, president; M. L. Everett, cashier; Thomas T. Atherton, M. L. Everett, Abram Nesbitt, Samuel Hoyt, Hendrick B. Wright, R. F. Walsh, George

Coray, John Sharp, jr., and A. H. Reynolds, directors. The officers in 1879 were as follows: President, Abram Nesbitt; vice-president, R. F. Walsh; cashier, E. A. Spalding; directors-Abram Nesbitt, R. F. Walsh, Isaac Everett, R. F. Black, Isaac Rice, John M. Ward, S. E. Atherton, J. P. Atherton, Abram Goodwam, John R. Crellin and E. A. Spalding.

The Miners' Savings Bank was incorporated by an act of February 13th, 1868, and was the first savings bank in the city, the purpose being to establish a savings bank and loan company with powers to transact any other business done by banks in Pennsylvania, and to act as executor or administrator of any deceased testator or intestate. The capital stock is $150,000; the surplus over $50,000. The first officers chosen were: A. C. Laning, president; Ziba Bennett, Walter G. Sterling and A. T. McClintock, vice- presidents; J. A. Rippard, cashier. The present officers (1879) are John S. Law, president; A. T. McClintock and N. Rutter, vice-presidents; David P. Ayers, cashier; W. G. Sterling, assistant cashier; John G. Law, clerk. Directors-John S. Law, N. Kutter, C. L. Lamberton, Payne Pettebone, Hubbard B. Payne, A. T. McClintock, E. P. Darling, Samuel R. Marshall, Thomas Derr and William L. Conyngham.

The Wilkes-Barre Deposit and Savings Bank was or- ganized under a charter from the authorities of the State of Pennsylvania and approved by Governor John W. Geary May 20th, 1871, with an authorized capital of $300,000, $150,000 of which was paid in by the stock- holders, and began business July 1, 1871. The first di- rectors were Joseph Lippincott, C. L. Lamberton, Stan- ley Woodward, C. Brahl, J. McNeish, jr., W. W. Ketch- am, J. P. Williamson, A. J. Pringle, and F. J. Helfrich; president, Joseph Lippincott; cashier, J. P. Williamson. The directors for 1879 were as follows: Thomas Long, A. N. Van Horn, A. J. Pringle, C. Brahl, F. J. Helfrich, W. S. McLean, J. P. Williamson and Fred Ahlborn; presi- dent, Thomas Long; cashier, Adolph Voigt.

The People's Bank .- This bank was organized and commenced business July 1, 1872, under a State charter obtained by R. J. Flick with four others named as incor- porators, with a board of eleven directors, with a capital of $250,000 with authority to increase the same to $1,000,000. $125,000 was called in immediately and in 1874 the balance of the $250,000 was called in and paid up, since which time (with two exceptions) a regular semi- annual dividend has been declared and paid free of all taxes. A surplus of $45,000 has accumulated. The present officers (1879) are: R. J. Flick, president; J. W. Hollenback, vice-president; A. A. Sterling, cashier.

Other Banks .- At different periods other banks have been established in the city, whose general history does not differ much from the same number of similar enter- prises in any locality. Some of them have been private banks and there are some of that kind at the present time. Among the best remembered is the Wilkes-Barre Savings Bank. This bank was organized May 2nd, 1870, with a capital of $100,000. The officers were as follows: Payne Pettebone, president; Peter Purcel, vice-president;

John Peters, cashier; Charles Dorrance, jr., teller; Payne Pettebone, l'eter Purcel, Charles Dorrance, Joseph Stick- ney, G. M. Harding and M. J. Philbin, directors. De- cember 24th, 1878, this bank went into liquidation, pay -. ing off all its depositors and stockholders in full.

WATER AND GAS COMPANIES.

The Wilkes-Barre Water Company was incorporated by act of the Legislature February 12th, 1850. The corporators were George M. Hollenback, Samuel P'. Col- lings, Henry M. Fuller, W. J. Woodward, Lord Butler, Thomas W. Miner, Peter C. McGilchrist, Harrison Wright, Calvin Parsons, Ziba Bennett, George P. Steel, Samuel Puterbaugh, Oliver B. Hillard, Edward M. Covell, Sharp D. Lewis, Francis L. Bowman and Joseph Le Clerc. The company was organized at Chahoon Hall July 16th, 1859, at which time and place the following officers were chosen: President, Hendrick B. Wright; secretary and treasurer, Isaac S. Osterhout; managers, Alexander Gray, John Urquhart, William Wood, Charles Parrish, John Reichard and Samuel R. Marshall. The original capital stock was $40,000, with the privilege of increasing it to $80,000. By subsequent amendments it has been increased from time to time, and in 1879 amounted to $220,000. The present officers are: Hen- drick B. Wright, president; Isaac S. Osterhout, secretary and treasurer; Samuel R. Marshall, Benjamin G. Car- penter, William H. Sturdevant, John M. Courtright, John Espy and Isaac S. Osterhout, managers; John Far- rell, superintendent. The company has about thirty-five miles of cement and wrought iron pipe laid, the source of water supply being Laurel run and Mill creek.

The Crystal Spring Water Company .- This company was chartered April 11th, 1861. Its source of supply is a large pond of the same name in the northeast part of Wright township, south of Wilkes-Barre, one of the sources of Big Wapwallopen creek. The company has $80,000 in capital stock and bonds to the same amount. The officers are as follows: Charles Parrish, president; David Caird, superintendent; Byron Shoemaker, sceretary and treasurer: W. S. Hillard, Washington Lee, L. D. Shoe- maker, Samuel Roberts, George H. Parrish and Wood- ward Leavenworth, directors.

The Wilkes-Barre Gas Company was chartered in 1854 and the works were constructed in 1856. The present capital stock of the company is $130,000. It has eigh- teen miles of main laid and makes 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas per annum, furnishing gas for city lamps and light- ing most of the leading business places and private resi- dences. The officers for 1879 were: W. L .. Conyngham, president; Thomas Derr, treasurer; Marcus Smith, secre- tary and superintendent.

HOLLENBACK CEMETERY.

The old Wilkes-Barre Cemetery had become so crowd- ed with graves in 1850 that it was deemed advisable to obtain a charter for a new cemetery association. The charter was granted to George M. Hollenback, Ziba Bennett, John L. Butler, Hendrick B. Wright, Henry. M.

Fuller, Jonathan J. Slocum, H. W. Nicholson, Thomas W. Miner, Charles Denison, V. L. Maxwell, Henry Pet- tebone, O. B. Hillard and Robert Porter, with such other persons as they might associate with them, and their successors, who were thereby created a body politic and corporate in law, by the name of the Wilkes-Barre Cemetery Association, and approved January 29th, 1850. Under it the members of the association and their successors jointly were empowered to purchase and to hold real estate to the amount of twenty-five acres in the vicinity of Wilkes-Barre for the purpose of establishing a cemetery, and granted authority to receive as gifts or bequests, for the purpose of ornamenting or improving the cemetery, such personal property as might be deemed necessary to carry out the purpose of the act. It was further decreed that the affairs of the corporation should be entrusted to a president and five managers, to be elected by the mem- bers of the association. After several unsuccessful attempts to purchase a suitable lot, in 1855 George M. Hollenback gave to the association for the purpose of the charter about seventeen acres of land lying north- easterly from the then borough between the river and the Pittston road. As an expression of thankfulness the managers resolved that the name of the association should be changed to "The Hollenback Cemetery Association of Wilkes-Barre and its Vicinity," which change was con- firmed by an act of Legislature May 7th, 1855. The aid of J. M. Grumman, a civil engineer of Brooklyn, N. Y., who had had experience in laying out cemeteries, was obtained; and in the course of the summer of 1855 he presented to the managers a draft of the land, divided by avenues into blocks, and sub-divided by pathways into suitable lots. Lithographic maps of this plan of division and allotment were procured, and the people proceeded to make their selection of lots, which, with the exception of three reserved for Mr. Hollenback, were opened to all. They were offered at public sale, and now unsold lots may be selected by any one. No distinction is made among the people and no denominational or sectarian feeling is permitted to enter into the ques- tion of allotment. There is a portion of the grounds devoted to single grave spots, where strangers, or those unable to buy an entire lot, can procure graves at a rea- sonable price. The price of lots and incidental charges were fixed as low as the estimated expenses in erecting a dwelling-house for the superintendent and a receiving vault, in laying out and fencing the grounds, with proper gate or entrance way, and in providing for the super- intendence and charge of the property, would allow. The first officers of the association were: George M. Hol- lenback, president; Isaac S. Osterhout, secretary and treasurer; John L. Conyngham, Ziba Bennett, Henry M. Fuller, Warren J. Woodward and Andrew T. McClin- tock, managers; John Mullany, superintendent. The successive presidents have been George M. Hollenback, John L. Conyngham, Ziba Bennett and the present (1879) incumbent, Andrew T. McClintock. Isaac S. Osterhout has continuously held the offices of secretary and treas-

MINING OPERATIONS-LABOR TROUBLES.

Wilkes-Barre's manifest natural advantage as a point of commercial importance in the anthracite coal field can scarcely be too highly estimated. The existence of coal deposits was known to the Indians before white settle- ment begun. Fuel for the early forges was supplied from them, and later, it is claimed, a citizen of Wilkes- Barre made the discovery that coal could be burned for domestic purposes. In an appendix to Chapman's his- tory, written in 1830, it was said: "No portion of the valley affords greater facilities for the transportation of coal, or offers stronger inducements to capitalists to engage in the coal trade than the coal lands in Wilkes- Barre." The truth of these remarks has been amply verified by subsequent experience. In all directions from the center of the city can be seen the dark outlines of giant breakers, where the "black dia- monds," mined in and about Wilkes-Barre, are pre- pared for the market. The part played by Wilkes- Barre in the development of the vast coal interest is treated in its proper connection. As a matter of purely local interest a mention of the mines in and near the city, with the names of those prominent in their operation, will doubtless be deemed in place here. Young's slope, Bal- timore tunnel and Conyngham shaft are operated by the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, with A. H. Vand- ling, of Scranton, as general superintendent, Christopher Scharar as assistant superintendent and inside foreman, and J. M. Chittenden as general outside foreman. When the latest report of the inspector of mines was issued Young's slope was not in operation. William W. Reese was mine boss, and Edward Mackin outside foreman of the Baltimore tunnel, and James Tretheway mine boss of Conyngham shaft.

"Turn-outs" and "strikes" seem to be inseparable from mining enterprises, and the history of coal mining shows that they have been of frequent occurrence in the collieries of the old world and the new. So common have been such movements in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania that an ordinary demonstration on the part of dissatisfied miners excites no more than passing notice. Since the coal interest was developed in Wilkes-Barre, and workmen began to congregate there in considerable numbers, strikes of greater or less importance and of longer or shorter duration have been inaugurated, with or without success. In the majority of cases they have proven disastrous alike to labor and capital. Seldom have they been so formidable as to excite public appre- hension. Not many of them are remembered as events of importance; only one of them, which occurred in 1877 -during that gigantic game of "bluff " between capital and labor now passed into the industrial history of the United States-is deemed to demand extended mention here.

The employes of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com-

pany identified themselves with the great strike of 1877 July 25th. At Bethlehem the trains were stopped and the engineers and firemen compelled to leave them dur- ing the day. During the following night the employes at Easton and Wilkes-Barre joined the movement, thus placing the entire length of the road in the hands of the strikers. Freight and passenger trains had been stopped at Bethlehem during the day, but the company was per- mitted to carry the mails. That night all trains were stopped at Wilkes-Barre. They were permitted to move on, however, the next morning, in order that such meu employed on them as were residents of other places might go home. The disaffected employes retained pos- session of the road during the remainder of the month, the railroad company only succeeding in running a train from Bethlehem to Mauch Chunk on the 31st. The announcement was made to the strikers that the aban- donment of their trains was nothing less than a forfeiture of their positions in the employ of the company, and that their places would be filled by new men. This measure was adopted to a great extent. In response to an appli- cation for armed assistance, the governor ordered a force of regulars and State militia to protect the road. Thus strengthened, the company resolved to resume business on the Ist of August, regardless of resistance. The strikers were no less determined. Assembling in large numbers at the depot in Wilkes-Barre, they resolved that no train should pass in either direction. But in defiance of this demonstration the authorities of the road pre- pared to send a train northward, observing which the rioters became greatly excited and were loud in their threatenings. At this juncture the mayor of the city, W. W. Loomis, forced his way through the crowd and reached and mounted the engine of the waiting train. He read the riot act to the crowd and followed with a brief address of counsel. When he descended from the locomotive he was surrounded by the excited men, who began plying him with questions. During the confusion the train was backed a few hundred yards. This action was not nnex- pected, as it was the customary preparation for a change of engines. But though, as usual, another locomotive stood waiting on a side track, and the strikers thought they would have plenty of time to act before the antici- pated change could be made, they were doomed to dis- appointment; for engineer Drumheller let on the steam with such force as to cause the train to dart forward with a velocity that took it out of the crowd before the strikers realized that they were baffled, and their rage at this un- expected turn of affairs can be better imagined than de- scribed. A scene of confusion ensued, and the men were loud in their threats to get even with the company before night. Upon the arrival of the 3:45 train from Elmira, with engineer Drumheller in charge of the loco- motive, the strikers assembled and determined to stop him at all hazards. As the train, which was made up similarly to the one which had gone north, stopped at the depot two of the mob mounted to the cab of the engine and seized Drumheller, while others uncoupled the locomotive from the train and severed the bell cord.
