"The season of navigation, now about closed, has been one of the most notable in the history of this port. During the sea- son the officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad announced their intention of expending $2,000,000 in this city in betterment of their tracks, yards, and dock facilities. An elevator for the receipt and shipment of grain was also promised. The com- pany did expend $200,000 on the extension of the ore docks, and another $60,000 on the ore docks at the Philadelphia & Erie terminus. The fact that the company has, or is about to put up, double-track iron bridges over the western division of the Philadelphia & Erie, and is opening up and extending all its sidings, confirms the report that ere the close of another season the Philadelphia and Erie will have a complete double track. The yards at the lake front are being extended, and everything indicates good faith on the part of the Pennsyl- vania, and the fulfillment of the predictions of its officials.
" The receipts of freight here during the season were 37,491 tons, mostly from Chicago and Milwaukee. The receipts of corn were 5,595,740 bushels, 112 per cent more than last year. The receipts of wheat were 7,930,788 bushels-a slight falling off from last year, but with that exception the largest ever received in Erie. The receipts of barley were 80,000 bushels, an increase of 60 per cent. The receipts of rye were 414,779 bushels. The flour receipts reached the unprecedented total of 2,000,000 barrels, being more than double last year's, and largely from Duluth. Of flaxseed there were 314,640 bushels, and pig iron 3,940 tons, a slight falling off.
441
HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY.
"The advent here of the Carnegies, who occupy the new dock built by the Pennsylvania Company at the Erie & Pitts- burg docks, boomed ore receipts largely, and they reached 6,404,434 tons, as against 394,347 tons last year. The receipts of lumber were 12,918,000 feet, 33} per cent heavier than last season. House-furnishing establishments received 4,850 tons, and building stone from Kelly's Island amounted to 1,023 tons. The copper receipts fell off to 7,704 tons, and plaster from Lake Superior to 1,784 tons.
"Shipments were correspondingly heavy, as follows : Freight, mostly machinery, to Chicago, 110,592 tons ; hard coal, 378,067 ; soft coal, 103,693 ; brick, 220, and railway iron, 400. There was an increase in foreign shipments from Canada this year in the matter of lumber, and it was for fine house- finishing woods. The imports of white pine were 1,395,087 feet ; maple for veneering pianos and for house trimmings, 9,405 feet ; lath, 1,047,550; stave bolts for tobacco pails, 345 cords."
The Big Trestle of the Scott Coal Company .- The area covered is 220x400 feet, all under one roof, being the most com- plete concern of the kind in the country. The machinery is of new design and to be operated by electricity. Coal will be transferred at a cost below any price heretofore, and will not exceed 1} cents per ton. The Nickel Plate and Lake Shore cars run into the yards, where thousands of tons of coal will be stored at all times, and the trestle is one of the largest in the United States.
Erie's Coal Shipments (Dec., 1893) .- " The last cargo of coal by lake has left this port for this season, being taken by the Schuylkill a few days ago.
"The shipments of hard coal from this port this season were about 440,000 tons, and about 100,000 tons of soft coal, mostly for fuel in the early part of the season, and latterly for the Chicago markets.
"The shipments of coal this season exceed those of last season, especially of soft coal, there being fully 50,000 tons shipped more than last year.
" The new coal trestles at the junction of the Philadelphia & Erie and Lake Shore roads are now in very active use,
442
HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY.
and the hard coal is being run in on the Philadelphia & Erie Railroad and transferred from the cars into the pockets, or into the general storage in the centre of the building. The pockets are so arranged that cars can be loaded directly from the pocket into the car, saving a great deal of handling by the automatic arrangement.
"The rates for carrying coal this year have been very low. The running rates from this port were 60 cents on hard coal and from 35 to 40 cents on soft coal-that is to Chicago. The rates to Lake Superior have not been so high. Some coal has been carried to Duluth this season for 25 cents a ton, but that was mostly when the coal was wanted for ballast."
Industrial .- November of 1891 the Metric Metal shops were opened, making a great addition to Erie's industries. Many car loads of machinery were transferred from the old plant at Beaver Falls, besides the new machinery from the E. W. Bliss Company, of New York. Twenty acres of ground had been purchased from Hon. C. M. Reed just outside of the eastern limits of the city. The factory is three stories high, in the shape of the letter L, being 201 feet along Ninth Street and 210 feet along the eastern city limit. A switch from the Phil- adelphia & Erie will be run in along East Tenth Street until it clears the west part of the works, and thence northwest to near Ninth Street, where it will end.
The company is putting in a sewer seven eighths of a mile in length on Payne Avenue from the shops lakeward, and laying pipes to a gas well about a mile distant which they purchased , from Mr. Fleming to supply heat for soldering furnaces and light throughout the establishment.
A new residence for the superintendent is under roof north of the buildings. The company opens up Ninth, Tenth, and Twelfth streets, with spills, or drainage, and Hess Avenue, parallel to Payne, is being worked into shape, as is Gilson Avenue still farther east, and real estate has greatly increased in value in the eastern part of the city.
The company will manufacture meters for natural and illu- minating gas, iron for natural, and tin for illuminating. The shops will have a capacity of 250 meters a day. That will mean 250 workmen, for by calculation it takes a man to each

meter. When running 135 men at Beaver Falls the average output was 135 meters a day. President, C. N. Payne ; Superin- tendent, J. B. Wallace ; Secretary and Treasurer, F. H. Payne.
Jan. 30, 1893, a great surprise greeted Erie people, the failure of the Car Works, throwing 300 men out of employment. After seven months the whistle was again heard-the Lake Shore road having leased the property for twenty years, with the prospect of purchasing them at that time.
Erie City's five railroads are : Pittsburg, Shenango & Lake Erie ; Lake Shore & Michigan Southern ; New York, Chicago & St. Louis (commonly called the Nickel Plate) ; Philadelphia & Erie, and Erie & Pittsburg. At Union City we find the Philadelphia & Erie ; New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio, and Western New York & Pennsylvania. At Corry is the Western New York & Pennsylvania, formerly called the Oil Creek road ; the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio, and the Phila- delphia and Erie.
Bituminous coal reaches the city at a low charge by way of the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio road from Mercer and Butler counties, and the Philadelphia & Erie gives it the benefit of competition in securing anthracite from the Eastern Pennsylvania fields.
The Philadelphia & Erie and New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio Railroads both cross the township from Le Bœuf to Con- cord. A third railroad, the Union & Titusville, comes in from Crawford County and connects with the Philadelphia & Erie at Union City.
It is confidently expected that motor cars will connect Edin- boro with Erie in the course of a few months. Maj. Hoyt and Mr. G. E. Ryckman, of Brocton, N. Y., are said to have it in charge.

HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY.
There was a very heavy falling off in the receipts of package freight, which were 17,000 tons less than last season,
The receipts of corn were 1,100,000 bushels more than last season, Wheat fell off 4,000,000 bushels ; barley receipts showed an increase of 700,000 bushels, or about fifty per cent. This was due to the excellent products of the Northern Minnesota and Dakota farms, which are just now springing into popularity on account of their choice barley. The rye re- ceipts fell off about 300,000 bushels. There were at least a million barrels less of flour received this fall, and the flaxseed fell off 30,000 bushels.
The ore receipts were 150,000 tons less than in 1892, lumber fell off 4,000,000 feet. The receipts of stone were double those of last season, owing to the extension of the north pier. The copper shipments came this way in smaller shipments by 400 tons than in 1892.
Despite the heavy shipments to Chicago early in the spring, the package freight forwarded fell off 60,000 tons. The hard coal shipments fell off 30,000 tons, and the soft coal shipments increased 50,000 tons.
It was observed in this connection, however, that the falling off in the lake traffic was not as great as it was in other lines of business this year. -
A local paper has the following of country roads in the spring of 1893 : " If there is such a thing possible as the enact- ment of any law that will improve our main thoroughfares, it is to be hoped the next Legislature will do so, for the Buffalo road is almost impassible. This should not be so with this road in particular, as it is one of the very oldest in this end of the State, and one of the most traveled. It should have been macadamized long ago, Mr. Carl Walbridge, our efficient road commissioner, is doing all that the road funds on hand will permit, but we must have a law that furnishes more money and a different system of working the roads."
"Good Roads, a matter of Finance " was decided by the bankers at the convention at Chicago. Conservative and re- liable statisticians estimate the cost of bad roads in this county at more than $250,000,000.
The First National Bank was organized in February, 1863,

According to statistics compiled by the Chicago Herald, the season just closed on the great lakes has been uncommonly disastrous. One hundred and twenty-three lives were lost, and fifty-three vessels, with an aggregate tonnage of 24,257, and valued at $1,040,400, passed out of existence, while partial losses by stranding, collision, and fire bring the total of losses up to $2,112,588. The greatest loss of life was on Lake Erie.
Increased storage is required in Erie for grain and fruits of
446
HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY.
the Northwest. Buffalo is amply provided and millions of bushels are sold in the West for delivery at that point. It is of the greatest importance that Philadelphia should have the benefit of the business done at Erie. The Reading system will soon put Philadelphia in possession of the completest facili- ties for dividing with the Erie Canal and the New York rail- ways the immense business in Buffalo, and bringing hither a part of the grain, ore, and lumber, There should be a share of Philadelphia business done through the splendid port of Erie, but there is not one tenth of the needed storage.
December, 1893, application was made to the Court of Com- mon Pleas for the incorporation of a hospital, dispensary, and training school for nurses. The name of the corporation is to be "The Homeopathic Hospital and Dispensary Association of Erie," and its purposes are for the establishing and maintain- ing of a hospital, dispensary, and training school for nurses. The corporators are Drs. W. K. Cleveland, Edward Cranch, Herman C. Galster, J. Louis Ireland, John F. Flint, Joseph R. Phillips, M. A. Wilson, J. C. M. Drake, H. E. Flint, and R. T. Marks, of Erie ; and H. L. Stem, of Union City, and W. S. Hub- bard, of Albion. The corporation is to be managed by a board of directors consisting of twelve members. The charter and certificate of incorporation were approved by the court, and the Homeopathic Hospital and Dispensary Association is now a matter of fact in organization, and will soon be in operation.

447
HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY,
Erie is a manufacturing city with 50,000 population. There are 200 manufactories, employing 8,000 men, with annual out- put of $18,000,000. Erie enjoys the proud reputation of mak- ing more boilers and engines than any city in the world ; has two large piano factories, immense paper mills, 47 iron and brass manufactories, brass works employing 1,000 men, 9 lumn- ber yards and planing mills, 5 large flouring mills, freight car works, lake fishery with 26 steam and 16 sail boats. A State fish hatchery is located in Erie. Bicycles, brick, beer, brooms, barrels, baskets, brushes, car heaters, cements, chemicals, con- fectionery, electric motors, malt, pails, hollow ware, sleeve pulleys, rubber goods, pearl buttons, stoves, soap, spring beds, novelty show cases, meters and appliances, wringers, mouse traps, and matches, are manufactured and the industries are all prospering.
The following Erie manufacturers received awards at the World's Fair on Thursday, October 12: Ball Engine Com- pany, high speed, compound condensing engine ; Jarecki Manufacturing Company, Limited, exhibit of brass goods and iron fittings ; Stearns Manufacturing Company, automatic, high speed engine, Gill water tube boiler ; N. A. Watson, Ex- celsior boiler feeder. The newspaper of the day describes the first named as follows : "The Ball Engine Company has completed the giant 700-horse-power engine for the World's Fair. The engine will be one of eight, from different parts of the United States, which will furnish the motive power in machinery hall at the great Fair. All of these engines will be painted a pure white, The engine will attract considerable attention at the Fair."
The Metric Metal Company has received an award at the World's Fair for spring scales.
The highest honors were awarded the Colby Pianos, at the World's Columbian Exposition.
Why he took the Confederate Flag .- October 20, 1893. Maj. I. B. Brown, who took down the Confederate flag from the Southern locomotive "General," in the Transportation build_ ing at the World's Fair says :
" I have no particular hostility to the men who carried the flag during the war, but why any one, twenty-eight years
448
HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY.
after the war, should deliberately display a flag in the loyal State of Illinois, or, indeed, anywhere else, which never did and never can mean anything but treason, rebellion, and human slavery, I could not understand. I have learned since that it is claimed that the flag was simply hoisted as a relic. The story is hard to believe; but even if there is any truth in it, we can get along without any exhibitions of such relics. There are enough Union soldiers with empty sleeves, wooden legs, crutches and broken constitutions to answer any reason- able demand for relics. I believe the flag was placed in posi- tion in defiance of the patriotic sentiment that ought to find a place in the heart of every loyal citizen, and such belief compelled me to take it down."
