At an election held at the house of Joseph Hamil-

ton,2 June 22, 1836, James Manown, John Storer, Robert F. Biddle, Asher Van Kirk, William Johnson, John McFarlane, and William Mills were chosen managers of the Williamsport Bridge Company. At

and Robert F. Biddle secretary. Public notice was also given to bridge-builders that sealed proposals for erecting a bridge over the Monongahela River at Williamsport would be received until July 18, 1836. The bridge was completed in 1838.

On the 1st day of April, 1837, the name of Monon- gahela City was adopted, and the terms "town of Williamsport" and " Parkison's Ferry post-office" be- came things of the past. In 1840, according to the United States census,8 Monongahela City contained seven hundred and fifty-two inhabitants. In Febru- ary of the following year a large majority of them assembled on the banks of the river to welcome the hero of Tippecanoe, Gen. William Henry Harrison, who in journeying towards Washington, D. C., to be inaugurated as the ninth President of the United States, passed up the Monongahela on the steamer "Loyal Hanna." Prominent Monongahelians on board the " Moxahala," Capt. James Parkison com- mander, had met the general at a point still farther down the river and escorted him to the wharf.

Although the town was incorporated as a borough in 1833 (when until September, 1834,4 it comprised portions of Fallowfield and Nottingham townships), it seems that it did not have or maintain an existence separate from the townships for some eight or nine years thereafter. Thus in February, 1841, numerous citizens of Carroll township sent in a petition to the Court of Quarter Sessions, asking that a division of the borough of Monongahela City and the township of Carroll be made. The viewers appointed by the court February 22d of that year submitted a report Aug. 20,. 1841. At the November term following a second petition from the inhabitants of Carroll town- ship was presented, asking "to be struck off from Monongahela City." The court appointed another board of commissioners to investigate the matter Jan. 26, 1842, and February 28th following these commis- sioners reported " that the separation prayed for ought to be granted." This report was approved February 28th, and confirmed May 26, 1842. To the date last mentioned, therefore, all assessment returns, etc., of town and township had been made as though there were but one corporate body.

The present grist-mill was built about 1844, and in 1848 (July 7th), Solomon Alter, Esq., issued the first number of the Monongahela Valley Republican.

2 Hamilton then owned and kept the inn now known as the City Hotel.

3 Subsequent census reports have shown that the town contained 977 inhabitants in 1850; 999 in 1860; 1078 in 1870 ; and 2904 in 1880.

4 Carroll township was formed from Fallowfield and Nottingham

! townships Sept. 30, 1834.

HISTORY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

Until the spring of 1852 the corporate affairs of the borough seem to have been conducted in a loose kind of way, and records were kept or not kept, just as the clerks chose. On the 20th day of May, 1852, how- ever, in accordance with the petitions of divers in- habitants, the Washington County Court of Quarter Sessions ordered that the provisions of the former charters (i.e., those of April 8, 1833, and April 8, 1837) be annulled, " so far as they are in conflict with the provisions of an act of the Assembly approved April 3, 1851." This order of court was obeyed, and the following borough officers were elected : Henry Wilson, burgess; John S. Markell, John Storer, Joseph Kiddoo, Alexander Wilson, William J. Alex- ander, and R. M. Clark, councilmen; Abram Fulton, clerk; Joseph Alexander, treasurer; and Benjamin Foster, street commissioner and wharf-master. At a meeting of this board of councilmen, held Aug. 12, 1852, it was resolved that the corporate officers of the borough "shall hold their regular meetings at the house of Abram Fulton, on the first Monday of each month at early candle-lighting." On the 9th of September, 1852, R. M. Clark and John Storer were appointed a committee " to hunt up old borough records and ordinances." The burgess was also em- powered and instructed to give notice that he would at once receive proposals for the building of a market- house, lock-up, and town hall. On the 27th of Sep- tember following the committee appointed to search for records, etc., reported "that they have not been able to find any of the missing records."

The borough officers elected since 1852, and other matters relating to the corporate history of the town, are alluded to as follows :

1853.1-John Gilfillan, burgess ; Alexander Wilson, William J. Alexan- der, John S. Markell, Joseph Kiddoo, John Storer, and R. M. Clark, councilmen ; David Ramaley, clerk ; Joseph Alexander, treasurer; and B. Foster, wharf-master.

1854.2-Moses Scott, burgess; James P. Moore, Shesh Bentley, Jr., Rob- ert Walker, Zachariah Carmack, Robert Phillips, and Richard Stock- dale, councilmen; William J. Alexander, treasurer; T. R. Haz- zard, clerk ; H. D. Cooper, assessor ; James Kerr, street commissioner; and Benjamin Foster, wharf-master.

! On the 18th of May, 1853, the board of councilmen resolved to sub- scribe to the stock of the Hempfield Railroad Company "any sum not exceeding fifty thousand dollars, provided the said railroad be located through the borough." The right of way through Union Street was also granted this company.

The woolen- and saw-mills of Robert Walker were destroyed by fire on the night of June 29, 1853, and on the 18th of July following the bur- gess was instructed to offer a reward of two hundred dollars for the arrest and conviction of the incendiary or incendiaries who set fire to those mills. At the same meeting it was resolved "to collect all the portions of the old fire-engine, and make inquiry in reference to the cost of repairs, etc." Subsequently the burgess reported that he had "gathered the pieces of the engine together, and after examination found it impossible to repair it so as to make it serviceable." He also reported that Messrs. Downer & Hart proposed to take the old engine and construct a new one for three hundred and fifty dollars, equal to a first-class engine, without, however, any extra finish."

2 The total receipts from all sources in 1854 were eight hundred and ninety-eight dollars and twenty-six cents. The outstanding accounts then due the borough aggregated nine hundred and thirty-eight dollars and seven cents, while the expenditures amounted to six hundred and five dollars and thirty-six cents. On the 24th of April, 1854, the en-

1855 .- Alexander Scott, burgess ; John Storer, Isaac Yohe, Jr., John F. Norfolk, William Coulter, Richard Stockdale, and William J. Alex- ander, councilmen ; Johu Powers, clerk; and William J. Alexander, treasurer.

1856 .- H. D. Cooper, burgess ; Andrew J. Stewart, Samuel B. Bentley, Abraham Carmack, J. W. Smith, and B. F. Bentley, councilmen; Shesh Bentley, Jr., clerk ; William J. Alexander, treasurer; Isaac Yohe, wharf-master; and Abraham Teeters, Jr., street commissioner. 1857.3-William Brown, burgess; John F. Norfolk, Joseph Tuman, James P. Sheplar, O. C. House, and Abraham Carmack, council- men;4 T. R. Hazzard, clerk ; William J. Alexander, treasurer ; Dan- tel Teetere, wharf-master ; and James Kerr, street commissioner.

1858 .- James P. Sheplar, burgess ; James P. Stewart, John Storer, James Dickey, Samuel M King, and Charles E. Beach, councilmeu ; Dr. J. S. Van Voorhis,5 clerk; William J. Alexander, treasurer ; A. Teeters, Jr., street commissioner; and R. D. Teeters, wharf-master. 1859 .- Shesh Bentley, Jr., burgess; Joseph Kiddoo, R. F. Cooper, Joseph Wilson, R. D. Teeters, and John F. Norfolk, councilmen; W. H. Smith, clerk; R. D. Teeters, wharf master; H. D. Cooper, street commissioner; and William J. Alexander, treasurer.

1860 .- T. R. Hazzard, burgess; Joseph Alexander, James Dickey, R. F. Cooper, George A. Keller, and R. M. Gee, councilmen ; Chill W. Hazzard, clerk ; Col. R. D. Teeters, wharf-master; Wm. J. Alex- ander, treasurer.

1861.6-E. W. Tower, burgess; R. M. Gee, James Dickey, S. P. Keller, L. A. Valentine, and S. C. Wilson, councilmen; John Young, clerk ; R. D. Teeters, wharf-master; A. W. Scott, street commis- sioner ; and Moses Scott, treasurer.

gine-bouse.was declared a nuisance, and ordered to be removed, and it was removed soon after by James Kerr. The street commissioner was instructed to sell the materials of the old market Oct. 15, 1854.

At a town-meeting held in the borough Dec. 31, 1854, the corporate authorities were authorized to subscribe for stock of the Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad to the amount of twenty-five thousand dollars, "on condition that the road be located through the borough."

3 By a decree of the Washington County Court of Quarter Sessions at February term, 1858, the election for borough officers in the spring of 1857 was declared void on account of the illegality of the board which held the election. Thereupon the functions of the council then in office, and of all the elected and appointed officers of the borough under the charter, ceased from the date of decree. The court further ordered that an election for borough officers be held on the second Tuesday of April, 1858, " between the hours of one and seven P.M."

4 This board of councilmen authorized the sale of the "old borough lot," and the purchase of a new one, upon upon which to build a market- house and " lock-up." The committee appointed to attend to the matter soon after purchased a lot of a Mr. Hickman, adjoining property owned by R. M. Clark'and Moses Scott, on Main Street, for which the sum of four hundred and ninety dollars was paid. Subsequently, in March, 1859, this lot was sold to Dr. King for five hundred dollars.

6 J. W. Smith was appointed clerk in September, 1858, vice Van Voor- his, resigned.

6 In May, 1861, the borough authorities appropriated the sum of $100 for the support of the families of volunteer soldiers, and $25 for ammu- nition " to be used in home defense." But $10 though of the $100 men- . tioned was used for the purpose specified, when the vote appropriating the same was rescinded. However, during the month mentioned the sum of $49.19 was expended from the borough funds for the payment of bills incurred in furnishing the " Monongahela Artillery" with bed- ticks and cap-covers.

This company volunteered as soon as President Lincoln's proclama- tion calling for 75,000 men to serve for three months was received, and under the command of Capt. Robert F. Cooper proceeded to Pittsburgh, where it was mustered into the United States service for three months as Company G of the Twelfth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers. A history of this organization, and a roll of Capt. Cooper's company, is given in the military chapters of the general history referring to the war of the Rebellion.

On the17th day of July, 1861, the Council appropriated twenty-five dollars to assist in defraying the expenses of the " Tower Zouaves," then about to enter the United States service in Virginia, "on the condition that they march from this place forty strong." Soon after the " Zouaves" did proceed to Wheeling, Va., but not numbering "forty strong" the twenty-five dollars was withheld.

The "Zouaves," about thirty-five in number, were recruited by First

Lieut. Alvin S. King (then known as Capt. King), of Monongahela City. After sojouruing at Wheeling for a few days, they were ordered to report at Pittsburgh, Pa., where they were merged into Col. S. W. Black's Sixty-second Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, forming part of Company K of that regiment, and their original commander became first lieutenant of the consolidated company. He lost a foot at the battle of Gaines' Mill, Va., and in 1863 was elected county recorder. The men led into the field by him did valiant service; many of them were killed or desperately wounded, and but few returned to the place from whence they started.

The " Mellinger Guards" was another Monongahela City organization which took the field in 1861, and in September, 1862, Capt. William J. Alexander's company (G of the Eighteenth Regiment of Pennsylvania Militia) proceeded to the front; but as matters relating to the military history of the county are referred to at length in other pages of this work, no further allusions to the topic in question are necessary here.

1 This board in February, 1865, authorized the issue of borough bonds to the amount of about five thousand dollars, with which to pay boun- ties, and thus fill the borough's quota under a call for volunteers.

2 In April, 1869, Councilman O. C. House was appointed a committee to ascertain " the probable cost of six lamp-posts for lighting the streets." He soon after reported that iron posts would cost fifteen dollars each, and recommended the use of wooden ones. On the 11th of June same year, Dr. E. T. Cooper and O. C. House were empowered to procure street lamps and have them placed on Washington and Main Streets, and Andrew Neil was appointed lamp-lighter, etc. Oil was used in the street lamps until the completion of the gas-works in 1873, since which time gas has been burned.

8 On the 8th day of November, 1870 (through its president, B. F. Jones), ' the "Pittsburgh, Virginia and Charleston Railway Company" was granted the right of way through the borough. Work was commenced on this road in December, 1870, but the first locomotive did not enter the borough limits until Sept. 29, 1873. On the 3d of October following trains began running regularly between Monongahela City and Pitts- burgh.

City Officers, etc .- By an act of the State Legis- lature, approved March 24, 1873, a city charter was granted the town of "Monongahela City ;" and in accordance with the provisions of said act an elec- tion" for municipal officers took place on the third Friday of April, 1873, which resulted as follows : For Mayor, John Holland. For Select Council, A. T. Gregg, Thomas Wilson, First Ward; William Corrin, William P. Ketchum, Second Ward; P. A. Foster and M. Saunders, Third Ward. For Common Council, Isaac Hodge, William H.

5 William J. Alexander was elected treasurer June 3, 1872, to fill vacancy caused by the death of A. C. Sampson.

During the same session of the Council, Dr. J. H. Connelly, of Pitts- burgh, being present, requested that an ordinance be passed allowing him the privilege of building gas- and coke-works in the borough. This right was granted him June 10, 1872, by the passage of an ordinance wherein certain grants, conditions, and restrictions concerning the manufacture of gas and coke in the "borongh of Monongahela City, Pa.," were duly set forth.

The clerk in his minutes again neglected to mention the names of the councilmen-elect, but we find that the members of the standing committees during the year were as follows : finance, Messrs. Alexander, Young, and Loutlit; streets, Messrs. Bentley, Sutman, and Warne; police, Messrs. Bowman, Loutlit, and Crall: ordinance, Messrs. Alexander, Gregg, and Keeney ; printing, : Messrs.

1 During the month of May, 1878, some fire-buckets and ladders were purchased, and in August following a wagon on which to haul them. In August, 1879, Dr. Connelly appeared before the Councils in joint ses- sion, and explained the workings and merits of his fire-extinguisher. Thereupon a committee (composed of Johu G. Beaver, William J. Alex- ander, and James Loutlit) was appointed to examine in relation thereto and report at a subsequent meeting. On the 1st day of December, 1879, this committee reported that they had visited West Newton, where one of Dr. Connolly's chemical fire-extinguishers was in use, and found that it gave excellent satisfaction, having been tested in two or three conflagrations. The committee was then continued, and instructed to inquire concerning "other kinds of fire protections."

On the 5th of January, 1880, this committee submitted another report, having visited various localities meanwhile, and recommended the pur- chase of one "Champion Fire Extinguisher" with appliances, "being the same as used by the borough of West Newton and Latrobe, with the addition of hooks and ladders." Acting upon the recommendations of the committee, before mentioned, an ordinance authorizing the purchase of an extinguisher and apparatus necessary for its successful operation was adopted Feb. 2, 1880. This action on the part of the Councils, however, did not seem to meet with the concurrence of a majority of the people, and by an ordinance adopted March 1, 1880, that of February 2d | ceries and produce ; T. B. Wilgus, grocer, etc .; J. F. was repealed. No fire apparatus has since been purchased, and the city of to-day boasts of neither fire company nor fire apparatus other than the primitive buckets, ladders, and wagon before alluded to, all in charge of the street commissioners, while its water supply is obtained from - wells, cisterns, and the turbid Monongahela, which flows in its front.

4 In 1881, the Pittsburgh, Virginia and Charleston Railroad was com- pleted to West Brownsville, and on the 15th day of May of that year trains began making regular trips between the point last named and Pittsburgh. We will also add in this connection that since the fall of 1873 Dr. W. L. S. Wilson has filled the position of station-agent at Mo- nongahela City, being now the only original station-agent on the line.
