\- \^'^ Newark is the capital of Essex County, the chief city in the State of New Jersey, the fourteenth city of the Union in point of population, the third manufacturing city in the United States, in the aggregate importance of Its manufactures and one of the leading cities of the country in the extent and variety of its manufactured jjroducts. There are over 2,400 firms engaged in manufactures in this city, and over twelve hundred distinct branches of manufacture carried on within its limits. The history of Newark dates back about 225 years, when the place was first settled by a colony of sturdy New Englanders. Nearly or quite forty years after the landing of the Pilgrims on the rock- bound shores of New England, the religious differences of opinion among colonists of the Plymouth and adjacent settlements, had increased to such an extent, that it was thought best by some of the leading spirits of two of the towns of the colonies, that new fields should be occupied, and fuller opportunities given for the cultiva- tion of religious thought and action. The New Netherlands, now known as New York, that had been discovered and occupied by the Dutch in the early part of the centur,-, appeared in the judgment of the Puritans of New England, who were seeking for fresh fields and pasture new, to be best adapted for the planting and culture of that form of ecclesiastical polity known as the Congregational form of Church •Government. The fame of the goodly land of the ".A.chter Kull," as the country that lay beyond the ^'Noordt River," as the river was styled, Hudson then had reached New England, and the settlers at Branford and Milford in Connecticut, appointed a committee to investigate the possibilities of founding a colony in this region of the "Achter Kull," beyond "Noordt River." A correspondence was opened between this committee and Petrus Stuyvesant, the then Governor General of the New Netherlands ITS POINTS OF INTEREST. 4 NEWARK AND committee made the of "Our Towne on the Passayak."

The Director-General and Council of the New Netherlands, agreed to the first two propositions and also to the third, with certain modifications. The fourth and si.xth propositions were granted, and it was stated in regard to the fifth proposition, that none of the towns in the New Netherlands are "troubled with Inhabitance, the which doe not Lyke her or her Magistrates. The outcome of these negotiations was that in the Spring of i666, two diminutive vessels after carefully passing from the harbor of New York, through the Kill von Cull, and into Newark bay, ascended the Pasaic river and landed their passengers on the shore of that river, where the city of Newark now stands. On the 23d and 24th of June, 1664, the Duke of York had transferred what now constitutes New NEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST. 7

Jersey to Lords Berkley and Carteret. Philip Carteret, a nephew of Lord Carteret, was appointed Gover- nor, and on arriving in New Jersey, took up his residence in Elizabeth. The Governor dispatched messengers to New England, who made known to the colonists there the fact that they would be welcome to New Jersey, and would receive civil and religious privileges no where excelled. Tradition has

it that the colony which came from Milford numbered about thirty persons, male and female. A treaty was made on the 21st of May 1666 with the Indians by which the land on which Newark stands was purchased. The Indian bill of sale sets forth that Wapamuck and Wanvesene, Peter Captamni, Wecaprokikan, Napsann, Pesawae, Lessom, Mamustome, Cacanakque and Harish, Indians belonging now to Hakinsae the proprietors of a certain tract of land lying on the west of Pesayak river, sell to Obadiah Buen, Samuel Ketchell, Michael Tompkins, John Browne and Robert Denison, "a certain tract of Land, Upland and Meadows of all sorts, Wether Swamps, Rivers, Brooks, Springs, Fishings, Trees of all sorts Quaries and Mines, or meatals of what sort soever. With full liberty of hunting and fishing upon the same, excepting Liberty of hunting for the above said proprietors that were upon the upper common, and of fishing in the above said Pesayak River, which said tract of Land is bounded and Limited with the bay Eastward and the great River Pesayak, Northward, the great Creke or River, in the meadow running to the head of the Cove, and from thence bareing a West line for the South bounds, wh said Great Creek is commonly called, and known by the name Weequachick, on the West Line backwards in the Countryi to the foot of the great mountaine called Watchung, being as is Judged about seven or eight miles from Pesayak towne, the said Mountaine as Wee are Informed, hath one branch of Elizabeth towne River running near the above said foot of the Mountaine; the bunds Northerly, viz: Pesayak river reaches to the

Third River above the towne, ye river is called Yauntakah, and from thence upon a North West line to the aforesaid Mountaine." The deed also sets forth that "these lands are thus sold and delivered for and in consideration of fifty double hands of powder, one hundred barres of lead, twenty axes, twenty Gates, ten Guns, twenty Pistolls, ten Kettles, ten Swords, four blankets, four barrels of beere, ten paire of breeches, fifty knives, twenty howes, eight hundred and fifty fathem of wampen, two Ankors of Licquers, or something Equivolent, and three troopers Coates." An extract from the original towne records of Newark sets forth that on the 21st day of May,

1666, at a meeting of persons from Milford, Guilford and Branford it is agreed to make one township according to fundamentals mutually agreed upon, and that they desire to be of one heart, and concent that through God's blessing, they may endeavor the carrying on of spiritual concernments as also civil and town affairs, according to God and a godly government. The settlers chose Captain Robert Treatt, Lieut. Samuel Swain, Mr. Samuel Kitchell, Michael Tompkins, Mr. Morris, Sergt. Richard Beekly Richard Harrison, Thomas Blatchly, Edward Riggs, Stephen Freeman and Thomas Johnson, a committee to manage their affairs. It was noted "That none shall be admitted freemen or free Burgesses within our Towne upon Passaick River in the provice of New Jersey, but such planters as are members of some or other of the Congregational Churches, nor shall any but such be chosen to Magistracy or Carry on any part of Civil Judicature or as deputies or assistants to have power to Vote in establishing Laws and making or repealing them, or to any chief Military Trust or Office. Nor shall any but such Church Members have any Vote in any such elections; Tho' all others admited to Be planters shall have Right to their proper Inheritance, and do and shall enjoy all other Civil Liberties and Privileges, According to all Laws, Orders, Grants, which are or hereafter shall be made for this Towne." "The towne on the Passaick" as at first laid out was planned with but little reference to regularity or symmetry, and the courses of the principal streets were probably made to conform to the surface of the land, and frequently Indian trails were followed. The early settlers made most liberal provision for future public needs. They builded even better than they knew. Broad street. Market street, Washing- ton street. Military, Washington, and South (now Lincoln Park) were all laid out by the early fathers or their descendants. What is now known as Military Park was then known as the training ground. What is now Washington Park was then known as the Market Place, and where Market street now is was once the public watering place. The settlers acquired from the Indians by various purchases a tract of land which

included all the territory now embraced in the limits of Newark, Belleville, Bloomfield, Montclair, Cald- well and the Oranges. OF INTEREST. 8 NEWARK AND ITS POINTS

A map of the "Towne of New-Ark in the State of New Jersey," published in 1806, shows the population of the city to be confined principally to Broad, Washington, Market, Mulberry and High streets, and a birds-eye view of the city east of Mulberry street published in 1820 shows only a few straggling farmhouses, while now this part of the city is built up solidly with large factories employing thousands of hands and with neat and comfortable homes of well to do mechanics, clerks and others.

By an act of the State Legislature passed February 6, 1833, the township of Newark was divided into four wards known as the North, South, East and West wards. The first annual meeting in each

ward was held in the lecture room of a church jin the ward, and the influence of church methods of government was still apparent from the fact that the principal officer of each ward was known by the

title of Moderator. The first Moderators elected were: East Ward, Joseph C Hornblower, afterwards Chief Justice of New Jersey; West Ward, William Pennington, afterwards Governor of New Jersey; South Ward, Asa Whitehead, one of New Jersey's most eminent lawyers; North Ward, Thomas Ward, a man prominent in affairs of church and State. Newark was chartered as a city in 1836, its first Mayor being William Halsey and its second Theodore Frelinghuysen, who was once a candidate for Vice-Presi- dent of the United States, on the same ticket with Henry Clay. Among others who have held the office of Mayor of Newark may be mentioned, Oliver L. Halstead, afterwards Chancellor of New Jersey; William Wright, subsequently a United States Senator, Beach Vanderpool, James M. Quimby, Horace

J. Ponier, Moses Bigelow, Thomas B. Peddie, Nehemiah Perry, Henry J. Yates and Henry Lang, all of whom were men occupying important positions in the business community. Another Mayor was Theo dore Runyon, afterwards Chancellor of New Jersey and one of the most distinguished lawyers of the State of New Jersey. During the Revolutionary War, Newark and its vicinity suffered severely from the ravages of war. When the struggle broke out, both Newark and Elizabeth were flourishing places, and the homes of thrifty, and even wealthy people. The well-stocked farms of this vicinity were a tempting foraging ground for the troops of King George, who were stationed in New York, and that they appreciated the advantages of this section is evident from the early records of the town, and from the traditions of the old families. The outrages to which the inhabitants were subjected during the war have never been fully described. One very memorable instance is frequently alluded to by the descendants of one of the principal actors even to this day. On the evening of January 25, 1780, a series of outrages were perpetrated, when a regiment of 500 red-coats, under the command of Major Lum, crossed over the Hudson river on the ice, from Newark to Paulus Hook, now Jersey City, and marched out to Newark. At the same time a smaller body of men crossed from Staten Island to Elizabethtown. Lum's men, on reaching Newark, committed a series of outrages, among which were the robbery of private houses, and the pillaging of stores and barns, and the wanton destruction of much property. They burned the Academy, a fine two-story stone building, situated on the Upper Green, now Washington Park. Mean- while their colleagues in Elizabethtown, who had been conducting themselves in a similar manner, set fire to the First Presbyterian Church there, and the light of the burning building, which could be plainly seen in Newark, was mistaken by Lum and his men for a demonstration of the Americans, and they beat a hasty retreat from Newark. Before leaving, however, they visited the home of Colonel Joseph

Hedden, Jr., one of the most prominent patriots of the city, and a Commissioner for the County of Essex of the State Council of Public Safety, with the intention of capturing him, and taking him a prisoner to New York. Mr. Hedden's house stood on Broad street, near Lombardy, and when the British soldiers visited it Colonel Hedden was sick in bed. He was dragged from his bed by the soldiers, who tried to take him into the street in his night clothes, although the night was intensely cold. Mrs. Hedden tried to prevent this, and essayed to get her husband decently clothed. In doing so she was severely cut by the bayonets of the British soldiers. Meanwhile the soldiers carried Colonel Hedden off with little or no clothing on, and marched him at the point of the bayonet down what is now Centre street, and along the river to the Plank Road, and thence to Paulus Hook, and across the ice to New York. Colonel Hedden was thrown into the Sugar House Prison, where, in consequence of the terrible exposure and the rough treatment he had received, he became ill, his legs froze and mortified, and when it became NEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST. evident that he could not possibly recover, his brothers were allowed to bring him back to Newark. He died on the 27th of September. His remains were interred in the Old Burying Ground. The British did not restrict their plundering to the patriots, but they robbed the houses of Tories also. One dark wintry night toward the close of the war. Captain John Kidney, Captain Henry Joralemon, Jacob Garland and Halmach Joralemon, started from their homes in Bloomfield, v.'hich was then a part of Newark, with the bold project of capturing a British garrison that was stationed at Bergen Heights. A pair of swift horses and an old-fashioned farm sledge furnished them with means of transportation. On arriving in the vicinity of the garrison they learned that the officers and men were having a frolic in the school house. They surrounded the place. Captain Kidney making a great noise as he did so, as though he were manoeuvering a large body of men. He then sprang to the door, forced it open and shouted, "You are all my prisoners, surrender or die." His comrades crowded around the door with their bayonets, and | the British, supposing they were surrounded by a large body of patriots, promptly surrendered. They were directed to come out of the school house one by one, and as each stepped out he was bound and and huddled upon the sled. When the party had been secured Captain Kidney and

his associates mounted their sled and drove their prisoners to the Irvington jail, where they were locked up. Among the patriot families of Newark were the Allings, Balls, Baldwins, Beaches, Bruens, Burnets, Camps, Condits, Cranes, Coes, Heddens, MacWhorters, Meekers, Penningtons and Wheelers. All of these families had members who distinguished themselves in the patriot army, and in the councils of the Federalists. Newark, at the breaking out of the Revolutionary War, had a population of about 1,000, but the war crippled the place and kept back its growth considerably for years ; in fact, Newark grew very slowly for a long time. TtlE NEWARK Or TO-DAY.

It is with the Newark of to-day, that this book is chiefly concerned, and the preceding brief review of the early history of the city has been given to enable the reader the better to understand and appreciate, not only the broad and far-sighted policy of the thrifty and God-fearing men who laid the foundations of the town, but, also, to realize into what mighty proportions has grown the structure they began to build. "Our towne on ye Passaick" has grown to be the great city of Newark, with its 200,000 population, its miles of streets stretching out in all directions towards its suburbs, and built up so solidly with houses, stores and factories, that, standing on the Orange Mountain and looking down upon the surrounding country, Newark seems to be one great city, stretching out from the Passaic River on the east to the Orange Mountains on the West, and from the fertile valleys of Waverly on the south to the

heights of the surrounding townships on the north, and it is hard to tell where Newark ends, and the townships begin. It is only of late years, however, that the Newarkers themselves have begun to awake to a realization of what their city really is, and of its magnificent possibilities for the future. For years there was an impression prevailing not only in the minds of men of other cities, but of Newarkers themselves, that Newark was simply a sort of workshop for New York, and that there were but little advantages in the place to make it an attractive residence. Indeed, twenty years ago, Newark was anything but an attractive place. Providence, it is true, had done much for the place in the way of scenery, giving it a beautiful river along its entire eastern and south-eastern front, a river which such writers as Irv- jng, Poe, Frank Forrester, and' Halleck delighted to praise, a rolling country composed of hill and valley, that suggested to the lover of nature grand possibilities for laying out a beautiful city, and to the sani- NEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST.

tary engineer superb opportunities for drainage and sewerage. The early settlers had laid out the town in

a manner that afforded great possibilities for its future development, but their descendants had grown careless of their glorious heritage. Along about 1S70 a few active and progressive men arose in the community and tried to make Newarkers realize that their city was something more than an overgrown country village, and that laying out of streets, building of sewers, and other city improvements were needed- The community was awak ened and improvements were begun, but as in the case of many other municipalities improvements ran mad for want of proper men to control them Streets were laid out in pasture lands \\here the) would not be needed for

miny jears to come, with more benefit to the land owners than to the city. Sewers were built in streets that

were not graded, and while all this was going on the centre of the city was neglected. Then came the panic of 1873. Fictitious values on real estate collapsed, and men who had believed themselves to be wealthy were left with large tracts of land on their hands which they could

hardly give away, if the gift carried with

it the assumption of the taxes and assess, ments on the land. So great was this burden that only a few years ago a law had to be passed for the adjustment of these taxes and assessments, and many people are only now out of the troubles into which this wild speculation plunged them. These circumstances put a stop to street improvements for many years, and is one of the main reasons why the streets of the city are not better paved. The growth of the city, however, continued slowly but surely, notwithstanding all these drawbacks.

It was the great Industrial Exposition of 1872, '73 and '74 that really aroused, not only the country at large, but the peoi)le of Newark themselves to a sense of what Newark really was. Messrs. George A. NEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST. 13

Halsey, A. M. Holbrook and a few other enterprising citizens conceived the idea of giving an exposition of the manufactured products of Newark. They formed a corporation known as tlie Newark Industrial

Institute, secured a building which was formerly an old skating rink, erected an addition to it, and assem- bled in it the products of Newark's work shops. There was machinery of every description, tools, hardware, cutlery, leather and all its products, trunks, bags, boots and shoes, elegant jewelry, saddlery and harness, celluloid, gems from'the lapidary's hands, and in short, almost every article which is in daily use. Thousands flocked to the exposition each year, and this exhibit did more to advertise Newark abroad, and to arouse the local pride of its citizens than anything that was ever done before or since. Soon after this the Board of Trade began to bestir itself in the matter of improvements, and a few spasmodic efforts were made to stimulate a spirit of progress. But it is only within the past few years that Newark has really begun to develop. The growth of Newark within the last five years has been mo=t remarkable. Property on Broad

street, near Market, now sells for $3,000 a foot, and all along that street it brings thousands, where it

brought hundreds a few years ago. Old rookeries are being torn down, and are giving place to new and elegant structures of massive proportions and imposing architecture. The new buildings of the post office and the Prudential Insurance Company, which are in course of construction, together with the buildings of Heath & Drake, the Fidelity Title and Deposit Company, the Liverpool and London and Globe Insurance Company, Wilkinson, Gaddis & Company on Broad street, the new stati n of the Penn- sylvania Railroad Company on Market street, the many handsome structures on Market, Mulberry and Mechanic streets. Railroad, Springfield, Belmont and Central avenues, the handsome residences along South Broad and High streets, at Military and Washington parks. Mount Prospect and Mount Pleasant avenues, are all combining to give Newark a metropolitan appearance. A new water supply is about to be introduced at a cost of $6,000,000, a new court house to cost $1,000,000 is projected, a public park is under consideration, and an extensive tract of land has already been set apart for that purpose. Active '4 NFAVARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST.

measures are in progress by the Board of Trade to build a hotel large enough to accommodate the pros- pective increase of Newark. Handsome bridges span the river. Four fine hospitals and a large number of charitable institutions and churches attest the philanthropic and religious character of its people. On Military Park stands the statue of New Jersey's greatest soldier, the gallant Major-General Philip

Kearny, who fell at the head of his troops in the late war. On Washington Park is the statue of an humble son of toil, Seth Boyden, the inventor, who did more for Newark's industries than any man who

has ever lived in the place, and who yet lived and died a poor man. On Lincoln Park is to be reared a statue of Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, New Jersey's most distinguished statesman. A free public library with thousands of volumes and a noble building has been established on [West Park sTeet. A large

technical school where young men are prepared for active life in Newark's factories as skilled mechanics has been in successful operation for several years, and the school is soon to have a large and well ap-

pointed building on High street. The public school system of Newark is the best in the State. Its fire department is admittedly one of the best in the Union. The city has an excellent police department. The financial institutions are sound and prosperous, and her business men, wise, conservative and prudent. The health of the city is good, the death rate low, and the various branches of the city government are well and economically administered.

The city has fourteen banks, Savings and National, of excellent character and stability, with a banking capital of about $18,000,000. It has one hundred wholesale jewelry manufacturing firms, the products of NEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST. 15 whose factories are unrivalled as to quality. There are eighty-five wholesale manufacturers of leather, in its various forms, whose products are distributed over the United States, Europe, Canada and other countries. There are fifteen wholesale manufacturers of novelties of various kinds, whose products are widely known and distributed. There are 100 machinists, tool manufacturers and mechanical engineers ; fifty wholesale hardware manufacturing firms ; sixty wholesale harness and harness trimming manufacturers eigliteen wholesale grocers, of them selling over one $5,000,000 annually ; sixty carriage makers, wholesale manufacturers of carriage kindred articles hardware and ; eighteen large button manufacturers ; twenty- three brass goods makers and founders; twenty-four wholesale boot and shoe manufacturers; twenty- one manufacturers of varnish, one of whom conducts the largest business of the kind in the country ; thirty-four saddlery hardware manufacturing concerns; forty tool makers; twenty manufacturers of trunks, travelling bags, etc.; twenty-four brewing establishments, with very large capital, which bear favorable comparison with any in the United States. In the City, and directly across the river in Hudson County, are located the famous Clark Thread Works, and near them in Hudson County, the Mile End Works, the Marshall Thread Works and the Linoleum Works, all comprising a vast body of capital, and employing labor to an enormous extent. The Domestic Sewing Machine Company's works are also located in the city, with its extensive factory and business. Within the city limits, on the Passaic River are the Great Lister Agricultural Works, already one of the most important in its field of business, and just now in process of consolidation and enlarge- ment. The Atha and the Illingworth Steel Works, Babcock's Smelting and Refining Works, surpassed by none in the United States.

Newark also maintains fine theatres, many large wholesale and retail houses, and all the establishments suited to a large city. Newarkers no longer admit that their city is in any sense a mere append- age of New York or simply its workshop. They have discovered that near as they are to the great metropolis they still have a great and prosperous city of their own, which is a credit and honor to the great State of New Jersey, a prosperous and vigorous community, with an intelligent, orderly and thrifty population, engaged in wide and varied industries, and whose business men and financial institutions

have a credit that is unsurpassed by that of any city of the Union.

The principal streets of the city are already lighted with electricity, and a spirit of progress is manifesting itself throughout the entire community. For convenience of description, Newark may be said to be divided into six sections, each having a distinctive character of its own. One is the heart of the city, which is composed of the central or inner wards, and is the older portion of the town. This contains all the financial institutions, the leading business houses and the majority of the fashionable residences. Another is the section east of the Pennsylva- nia Railroad, the more eastern portion of which is frequently called "the neck." The entire section east of the Pennsylvania Railroad is also known as the "Iron Bound District." Here are situated some of the largest of Newark's factories, as well as the homes of thousands of her operatives and laboring'classes. A few years ago a very large section of "the neck" was almost entirely devoted to truck farms, and indeed, there are several flourishing truck farms yet, but land is fast getting to be too valuable to be used for this purpose and these farms are rapidly disappearing. The opening of the Newark and New York Railroad, now a branch of the Central, and of the Manufacturers' Railroad, a branch of the same system, did much to develop this section, and to convert truck farms into closely built up streets and sites of vast manufacturing establishments. The new branches that are being built by the Pennsylvania and Lehigh Valley Railroads will tend to develop this section still further. The three wards embraced within this territory have a population of 40,961, with a taxable valuation of $16,509,455.00, though the actual value of property there ts probably twice as much. "The Hill," by wliicli name is designated those portions of the Sixth and Thirtenth wards, occupying the elevated ground west of High street, is distinctively the German section of the city. The evidence of

the thrift, industry and intelligence of the population are apparent on every side. This is notably a settlement of sm ill ho^nes. In this section are also some large business establishments, including several tanneries, and six large breweries, one of which was recently sold to an English syndicate for $3,000,000. i6 NEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST.

Here are the principal parks, wliere the Germans of the city are wont to have their Summer festivities, and the halls in which they hold their meetings and Winter festivities. There are a number of large and handsome churches of all denominations here and several orphanages and charitable institutions. The Eighth ward, which comprises the northern end of the city, beginning at Eighth avenue, and

running north to the Second river, which is the dividing line between Newark and Belleville, is one of the most rapidly developing sections of the city. In point of size of territory it is the largest ward in

Newark, and in population and wealth it is also one of the chief wards of the city. Its eastern boundary is the Passaic river, and its western and north-western, the canal. East Orange and Bloomfield. No part of Newark has had such a remarkable growth as has the Eighth ward within the last few years. Whole tracts, that five or six years ago were farm lands, are to-day laid out in broad avenues, built up with

tasteful homes, and property is increasing in value, at a ratio far beyond that of any other portion of the city. The ward in itself would make a very respectable city, with its fine streets, the majority of which are well lighted and sewered, and arrangements have been made for paving the principal streets with Belgian block, asphalt or Telford. This ward embraces the flourishing settlement of Woodside, which was once a township by itself, but about twenty years ago was annexed to Newark. It also includes Forest Hill, which

is a large and rapidly developing portion of the ward. Wilhin the limits of the ward are four large and well appointed public schools, two of them having buildings that are regarded as among the fines educational structures in the city. There are also twelve churches, of which the Presbyterians have four- the Episcopalians two, the Roman Catholics two, the Methodists one, the Baptists one, the Reformed one and the Congregationalists one. Pn this ward are situated the extensive works of the Clark Thread Co., large stone works and quarries, and an extensive watch case factory. The manufacturing business,

however, is principally confined to that section of the city along the river front, and the ward is pre-eminently a place of residence. Here are the homes of some of Newark's most wealthy and influential citizens. Mount Prospect and Clifton avenues, which occupy the loftiest ground in the ward, running, as they do, along the summit of a commanding hill, afford a superb view of the surrounding country for miles in every direction. On the former avenue is the residence of William Clark, one of the hand, somest and most costly in Essex county. On Clifton avenue a large tract of land has been secured by the Roman Catholic Church, for the erection of a superb cathedral in future years. Among the notable buildings in the ward are the North End Club House, an imposing three story brick structure, on the corner of Broad street and Third avenue, the building of Marcus L. Ward Post, G. A. R., on Belleville avenue, the Park Presbyterian, Centenary M. E., Belleville Avenue Congregational, and Mount Pleasant

Baptist churches, and the Franklin Public School. Here also is the Low Service Reservoir, from which

the greater part of Newark is supplied with water, and around which is to be formed the new public park

The ward is admirably supplied with facilities for reaching the heart of the city, and also with communi-

cation with New York. Two lines of horse cars already traverse the ward, and another is in course of

construction, while three steam railroads connect this section with the metropolis. In this ward is located the building and extensive grounds of the Riverside Athletic Club, one of the leading clubs of the kind in

New Jersey. Here, too, is situated Mount Pleasant Cemetery, the most beautiful place of sepulture in the country. In this ward are located two of Newark's leading charitable institutions, the Protestant

Foster Home and the Home for Respectable .'\ged Women. The former is a massive four-story brick building, on the corner of Belleville avenue and Van Wagenen street. It gives shelter to about loo chil-

dren who otherwise would be homeless, and is undenominational in its work. Its Board of Managers is

composed of the leading society ladies of the city, and it is the favorite charity of the town. The

other institution, which is usually known as the "Old Ladies' Home," is a handsome brick building on Broad street, near Gouverneur street. It has ample grounds, and among its managers are some of the most prominent ladies of the city. St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church also has a large and flourishing parochial school, which is situated in a large brick building on Belleville avenue.

The date of the laying out of the first roads in Newark is involved in considerable obscurity, but certain it is, that Broad, Market and Washington streets were among the first laid out by the early settlers. The oldest map of the town on record shows Broad street from Mill Brook (near where Clay street now is), to Lincoln Park, Mulberry street, Washington street from Washington Park (then the public market place), to Clinton avenue, High street about as it now is, Market street from the public dock to the hill back of where the Court House now stands, three or four cross streets south of Market street, from roads leading from the town in a westerly direction, one of which is now Orange street, another following the line of Warren street, and the old Crane road at Roseville. Another short street followed the line of Centre street to the river. The first record of a road laid out by the Commissioners

of Highways, to be found in the Esse.x County Road Book, is dated December 3, 1698, and relates to a road in Elizabethtown, which was then a part of Essex county. The first legally laid road from Eliz- abeth to Newark, was laid out in August, 1705. High street was laid out as a legal road in 1709, al-

though it had been in

existence years before.

.'Xbout 17 17, several roads were laid out on the "Neck," and to the meadows, to enable farmers to get in their salt hay. There are now streets built up with large and important factories. The Newark and Corner Clinton ."Avenue and High Street. Pompton Turnpike Company was incorporated on February 24, 1806. Its road ran from North Broad street, now Belleville avenue, in a northwesterly direction to Bloomfield and Cranstown, now Montclair, thence over the First Mountain, through Caldwell to Pomp- ton Plains. This road is now Bloomfield avenue, and is under the care of the Essex Countv Road Board, within the limits of the county. The Newark and Morristown turnpike followed the line of

South Orange avenue, and was laid out as a turnpike in 181 1, although the greater part of the road had been in existence many years before. i8 NEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST.

\ The streets of Newark were in a wretched condition for many years, and, in fact, many of them are now sadly in need of decent pavements. There are people living in Newark to-day who can remember the

time when Broad street was such a slough that a mud scow was run upon it to carry people to and fro. Within the last few years, however, there has been an awakening in Newark on the subject of paving, and the Common Council now puts into the tax levy $50,000 a year for this purpose. In addition to this, the Legislature of 1890 passed a law, authorizing the Common Council to issue bonds for street paving,

and in a short time the principal streets of Newark will all be well paved.

The principal roads leading out from Newark to its suburbs are all fine, broad avenues, paved with Telford pavement, and are in charge of the Essex County Road Board. This board had its origin in the far-sighted public spirit of Llewellyn S. Haskell, the founder of Llewellyn Park, West Orange

Some years after he had completed that beautiful park, Mr. Haskell conceived the idea of making all Essex county one grand park, with Newark as a centre. His idea was to take the principal thoroughfares leading out from Newark, grade and pave them so as to make easy and pleasant drives, and then connect them by lateral roads. In pursuance of this plan, Mr. Haskell procured from the Legislature of 1868, a law incorporating the Essex Public Road Board. The first members of the board were Llewel- NEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST. 19 lyn S. Haskell, William H. Murphy and Francis McGrath. The law was found to be defective, and a suaplement was passed in 1869, increasing the number of Commissioners to five. The first Commission, ers so appointed were A. Bishop Baldwin, of South Orange, William H. Murphy, of Newark, Jesse Will, iams, of Orange, George Peters, of Newark, and Robert M. Henning, of Montclair. Mr. Murphy soon resigned, and Mr. Timothy W. Lord, of Newark, was appointed in his place. To these five gentlemen is really due the credit of having laid out and paved the magnificent system of county roads in charge of the Road Board, which, with themany fine streets laid out in the Oranges,Bloomfield and Montclair, form

The avenues in charge of the Road Board are, Frelinghuysen avenue, extending from Aster street, Newark, to Elizabeth; Springfield avenue, from the Court House in Newark, through Irvington, South Orange and Milburn, to the

Morris county line ; South Orange avenue, from Springfield avenue, Newark, through South Orange, and up to the county line; Central avenue, from Broad street, Newark, to the Valley road, West Orange; Park avenue, running from Bloomfield avenue, Newark, to Llewellyn Park, West Orange; Bloomfield avenue, from Belleville avenue, Newark, to the county line in Caldwell and Washington avenue, from Belleville avenue, Newark, through Belleville and Franklin to Passaic county. The cost of these avenues 20 NEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST.

to the county was $1,600,000, for which bonds were issued of which $220,000 are still outstanding. These avenues cover a total distance of thirty-five miles and the cost of their maintenance in the year ending May, 1890, was as follows: Frelinghuysen avenue, $1,390.72; Springfield avenue, $3,116.55; South Orange avenue, $6,147.82; Central avenue, $3,313.90; Park avenue, $959.45; Bloomfield avenue, $6,761.17; Washington avenue, $2,404. The Road Board is now under the control of the Board of Freeholders of the county, its members being appointed by the Director of that board from among

the members of the latter Board. The present members of that board are : President, Francis McGuin-

There lived the venerable and beloved Theodore Frelinghuysen, one of New Jersey's greatest men, who was ever foremost in her councils and who ran for Vice-President of the United States on the ticket that was honored by the name of Henry Clay for President. Where in later years lived his illustrious nephew, Frederick T. Frelinghuy- sen, for several years a United States Senator from New Jersey, and afterwards Secretary of State. Through its portals was carried to its last resting place the form of that silver-tongued orator, followed

by an ex-President and a President of the United States and a host of noted and famous dignitaries, who vied with each other in paying the last tributes of respect to New Jersey's noblest statesman.

The house is now occupied by the Senator's oldest son, Frederick Frelinghuysen, who is the president of the Howard Savings Institution, and one of the most deservedly popular young men in Newark.

Beyond the Frelinghuysen mansion is the Wright mansion, formerly tenanted by William Wright, United States Senator from New Jersey, and now in the possession of his son, Col. Edward H. Wright. On the corner of Park Place and Centre street is the home of the late James M. Quinby, a former mayor of Newark, and one of her most celebrated citizens, now occupied by his scn-in-law Counsellor Charles

Borcherling. Beyond this is the Peter Duryee mansion, then the Joel W. Condit manor house, then 22 NEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST.

It runs north and south through the greater length of the city, beginning at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in the Eighth ward, and ending at the Lehigh Valley Coal Company's coal dumps, at the beginning of the salt meadow land at the extreme southern end of the city. The upper portion of Broad street from the Cemetery to Belleville avenue, is given up almost entirely to residences. From Belleville avenue to Grace Church, it is principally a business street, although even in this space there are interspersed some handsome residences, being the homes of some of the older families of the place.

The banks and insurance offices on this street are all located between Millitary Park and the corner of Broad and Market streets, with but two exceptions, these being the State Bank and the Prudential Insurance Company. In fact the majority of the financial institutions are centered on both sides of the street, in the short space between Commerce and

Market streets on one side and Academy and Market on the other. This part of Broad street is frequently called Finance Row. On the east side of the row are the offices of the American, the Mer- chants' and the Fireman's Insurance companies, the Newark agencies of the Citizens', Germania, Niagara

There are in the city ten lines of street cars, three of which are already equipped with electric motive power, and still other roads are in process of construction, both through the city and to its suburbs. The Newark Passenger Railway Company, which controls the majority of the street railways in Newark, and the Rapid Transit Street Railway Company, are both under contract with the Common Council to run all their roads with electric motors, and the Newark and South Orange Railroad Company, who control the other line, will also probably adopt the electric system. The street railways of Newark carry over 20,000,000 of passengers annually. These lines connect the city with Elizabeth, Irvington and all the Oranges, Bloomfield, Belleville, and Harrison, in Hudson county. The pioneers in street car trafific were the Orange and Newark Horse Car Railroad Company, who obtained a charter from the Legislature in 1859. This road had its origin in the dissatisfaction which was felt among the people of the Oranges at the wretched management of the old Morris and Essex Railroad and the projectors of the new horse car company decided to construct a line from Orange to the Market street depot, which would enable the residents of Orange to avail themselves of the facilities offered by the New Jersey Railroad and Transportation Company, now the Pennsylvania Railroad. The projected railroad was vigorously opposed by several property owners in Market street, who imagined that the running of cars through the street would interfere with their business, and one of them, Owen McFarland, brought a suit against the company to obtain an injunction to restrain them from laying the track past his place This suit was carried to the Court of Errors and Appeals, the court of last resort in New Jersey, and was dec ded in favor of the company. In this suit some important questions of law were raised, and this case is continually cited in railroad suits, not only in New Jersey, but all over the United States. The decision of the Court of Errors and Appeals was rendered in December, i860, but the e.xcitement in consequence of the unsettled condition of the country preceeding the breaking out of the Civil War, and the breaking out of the war itself, in 1861, delayed the actual building of the road until the Spring of 1862. NEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST.

: The officers of the company were William Pierson, Senior, M. D. of Orange, President ; John C. Den-

man, Vice-President, of Newark ; Martin R. Dennis, of Newark, Secretary and Treasurer: Directors: Nehemiah Perry, Henry R. Remson, David A. Hayes, Anthony E. Keasby and William A. Ripley, of New- ark, and Jessie Starr, of Camden.

The first track laid was through Market, Bank and Warren streets to Roseville, which was laid in the early Spring of 1862. Immediately after this road was begun, the road from Orange to the Market street depot was also commenced, and it began to run its cars to Newark on July 4, 1862. Other roads were laid by this company in future years as follows: The Newark and Belleville line, an extension of the Roseville line through Market and Ferry streets. The roads owned by the Orange and Newark Horse Car Railroad Company passed largely into the hands of the United Railroad Companies of New

Jersey, who for years held a majority of the stock. In 1865 Martin R. Dennis was made president of the road, and held this position until his death. In November, 1883, a number of capitalists who were interested in the Newark and Irvington, and Newark and Bloomfield street railroad lines, purchased a controlling interest in the lines controlled by the Orange company, and Mr. S. S. Battin, the President of the Newark and Bloomfield Street Railway Company was made President of the Orange company. This arrangement continued until the Spring of 1890, when a Philadelphia syndicate, headed by Mr. Thomas C. Barr, secured control of all the street car lines in Newark with the exception of the South Orange line, and the system was reorganized, and all the companies consolidated under the title of the Newark Passenger Railway Company, Mr. Barr being its President. Since Mr. Barr has assumed control of the street railway system of Newark, there has been a marked improvement in the service. New cars have 54 NEIVARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST

lieen added, more freciuent trips made, and several of the lines have been extended, electric cars have been put on two of the lines, and arrangements are being made to equip all the roads with electric meters, and new roads are projected. The Newark and Bloomfield Street Railway Company bought at a foreclosure sale on January i7' 1876, the property of the old Newark, Bloomfield and Montclair Horse Car Company. The road, as originally laid out, ran up Broad street from Emmett street to State, through State and High street and Summer avenue to Bl wmfield avenue, thence through Mount Prospect avenue and the Old Bloomfield road to Bloomfield. During the Winter of 1875, the old route to Bloomfield was abandoned, and in 1876 the new

management laid the track up Bloomfield avenue to Bloomfield, as it at present is. Mr. S. S. Battin was president of this road from 1876 until its transfer to the Newark Passenger Railway Company. The Newark, Harrison and Kearny Railroad Company opened its road for travel in 1884, Mr

S. S. Battin being its president. Later on its line was extended from the Market street depot, down Mar- ket, Union, Elm and Pacific streets to Pennington street. The Newark and Irvington Street Railway Company opened its road for public traffic in June, 1868. It passed through a series of financial troubles, and finally got into the hands of Messrs. Battin, Keasby and Ballantine, and was by them sold out to the Newark Passenger Railway Company in 1890. The Newark and South Orange Horse Railroad was started in the Spring of 1868, and also passed through a series of financial disasters. The road was sold at sheriff's sale, and was bought by a company of which Mr. John Radel is president, he and his sons holding almost all the stock. Since Mr. Radel has controlled the road he has made many improvements in it, has several times ex'.endedits lines, and has made it one of the best paying, as well as one of the most efficient street railroads in the country.

The Elizabeth Railway Company was started several years ago, its line running from the Erie depot, at Fourth avenue, Newark, through Ogden, Front, Mulberry and Thomas streets, Pennsylvania avenue. Miller street and Elizabeth avenue to Elizabeth. This road has also passed into the hands of the Newark Passenger Railway Company. The first of the steam railroads to enter Newark, was the New Jersey Railroad and Transporta- tion Company, which was chartered March 7, 1832. The route of the road was required to be through the town of Newark. Dr. John S. Darcy was the first President of the road, and John P. Jackson, Secre- tary. The first trip over the road was made on September i, 1834, in the passenger car Washington. Regular trips were commenced on the 15th of September, and the cars were operated by horse power, making eight trips each way. The fare each way was 37 1-2 cents, and the trip was made to Jersey City in half an hour. It was at first thought unsafe to use locomotives, because the embankments across the meadows had not thoroughly settled. The first locomotive was run over the road December 2, 1835. It was known as the Newark, and was a very crude and primitive affair. The cars were drawn over the Bergen Hill by horse power up to January i, 1838, when the Bergen cut was completed. The road was e.\t nded to Elizabeth in 1835, and to Rahway in 1836, and to Philadelphia in 1839. In 1862 the company built a more direct route between Jersey City and Newark, straightening the road at the meadows at Harrison, and crossing the Passaic river at Market street. In 1867 the New Jersey Railroad and Transi)ortation Company was consolidated with the Camden and Amboy Railroad, under the name of

the United Railroads of New Jersey. In 187 1 the United Railroads of New Jersey were leased to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for 999 years, and the Pennsylvania Railroad now control over 550 miles of railroads in New Jersey. They are building a new branch, which will cross the Passaic river near the Lister Agricultural Chemical Works in the Twelfth ward, extend through the Twelfth, Tenth and Fourteenth wards, and joins the main line again near Waverly. This will make a short cut for fast freight and through passenger traffic. The company will probably build a spur to r.ach the western section of the city. The Lehigh Valley Railroad use the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks as far as Metuchen. They are also building a short cut through the lower part of Newark, and the two roads are constructing an immense freight yard in the lower portion of the Fourteenth ward.

The Morris and Essex Railroad, which is one of the principal railroads entering the city of New- ark, was constructed in 1855, and originally extended only from Morristown to the Meadows, in Har- XFJVARK AND ITS PO/XTS OF fN7 ERKST. ' 35 rison, where it connected with the New Jersey Railroad Company, over which road passengers were carried to New York. In subsequent years the road was extended beyond Morristown to Easton, and in i860 it was extended from Newark to Hoboken,and the tunnel through Bergen Hill was built. The road has been leased for many jears to the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company, who are now operating it, as well as the Bloomfield branch, and have made many improvements.

The Erie railroad reaches Newark by way of the Newark and Paterson Railroad, which it practically owns. Its depots are at the foot of Fourth avenue, at Chester avenue, and in Woodside. This road affords accommodation to a large number of people in the northern part of the city, as does the New York and

Greenwood Lake Railroad, which extends from Greenwood Lake to Jersey City, a distance of over fifty miles. This road and its Orange branch, enter the city at its extreeme northern boundry. The Newark and New York Railroad is a branch of the Central Railroad, and affords communication with New York to a very large number of people residing in the heart of the city. It also has branches extending to Elizabeth, and to all the sea shore resorts along the Jersey coast, and in the Sum- mer .season is patronized by hundreds of Newark business men, who go backwards and forwards between the city and their Summer homes.

KEWARK BRIDGES.

The Passaic River is spanned at Newark by eight bridges, five of which belong to the railroads, the others being exclusively for vehicles and pedestrians. Two of the five railroad bridges have accommodations for pedestrians also, so that there are really five bridges that can be used for foot travel. With two exceptions, all these bridges are handsome and substantial iron structures, on which large sums of money have been expended. Of the three bridges devoted to public travel, two are the joint property of the counties of Essex and Hudson, and one is the property of a private corporation, which still exacts a toll for crossing it. Of the railroad bridges, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has two, and the Dela- ware, Lackawanna and Western, Erie and New York and Greenwood Lake companies, one each.

The oldest of the inter-county bridges is what is called the Newark Free Bridge. It crosses the river at the foot of Bridge street, Newark, and connects that city with the town of Harrison, in Hudson county. It is the oldest bridge over the Passaic, and has been in existence from the time when "the memory of man runneth not to the contrary." It was formerly the property of a turnpike company, which maintained a wretched road between Newark and Jersey City, and had bridges over both the Passaic and Hackensack rivers, exacting a toll at each. In 1872 the bridge over the Passaic was purchased of the turnpike company by the counties of Essex and Hudson, for $70,000, under an act passed by the Legislature for that purpose. Each county paid one half, or $3.S,ooo, and the bridge has been in the care of a joint committee of the Boards of Chosen Freeholders of the two counties ever since. In 1880 the bridge was rebuilt, and a handsome and substantial structure of stone and iron was erected at a cost of $125,000, each county paying one half.

Another bridge used for public travel is the Plank Road bridge, and is situated in the southeastern end of the city, on the old Plank Road, between Newark and Jersey City. It is on the route most fre- quented by teamsters travelling between the two places, and a toll is exacted for crossing it. The bridge

IS a miserable and unsightly affair, although the company receives a large revenue from their tolls.

The Clay Street Free Bridge is a substantial iron and stone structure, at the foot of Clay street, and connects the two municipalities of Newark and Kearny. It was built at an expense of $75,000, Essex and Hudson counties each bearing one half of the cost. This bridge was the result of long years of persistent effort and agitation, and was mainly due to the labors of Freeholders Kinsey, of Essex, and Tierney, of Hudson, who carried the scheme through in their respective Board of Freeholders in the face of considerable difficulty. The building of this bridge affords accommodation to a number of large manufacturing establishments on either side of the river, which before the bridge was completed were compelled to send their teams a long distance out of their way in order to make their crossings. An electric railroad .:!6 NEUARK AND ITS FOISTS OF INTEREST.

is about to be constructed between Newark and Arlington, and this bridge will afford them means to

cross the river. The bridge has an ample draw, which is opened and closed by a steam engine. The Pennsylvania Railroad has two fine iron bridges over the river, one at Market street and one at Centre street. Both are massive structures with draws operated by steam, and the Centre street bridge

has a sidewalk for pedestrians. It is used by thousands of persons daily. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company has also a fine iron bridge across the Passaic, with a draw operated by steam. Foot passengers are not allowed on this bridge. The Erie Railroad Company has an iron and frame bridge at the foot of Fourth avenue, and there is a foot path on it over which thousands of people cross daily on their way to and fro between their homes in Newark and the large mills on the opposite bank.

HEWARK AS THE COUHTY SEAT.

Newark has been the County Seat of Esse.x County for over two hundred years. The House of .\ssembly of the Province of New Jersey, in 1675 passed a law making provision for the establishment of courts in the State, and enacted that Newark and Elizabethtown should form a county, but no name was given to the county, nor were its boundaries very definitely settled. The name of Essex was first applied to the county in the year 1682, in an "act to erect County Courts," in which it was provided that the services of the courts should be held in Newark and Elizabethtown. The boundaries of Essex County were definitely established in an act passed by the House of Assembly January 21, 1710, in

which it was enacted : "That the County of Essex shall begin at the mouth of the Raway River,

where it falls into the sound, and so to run up the said Raway River to Robeson's Branch, thence west to the division line between the eastern and western division, and so to follow the said division line

to Pequaneck River, where it meets Passaick River, thence down Pessaick River to the Bay and Sound,

thence down the Sound to where it began." These limits were altered on November 4, 1741, when a part of Essex County was annexed to Somerset. In 1837 Passaic County was formed from the northern part of Essex, and in 1687 Union County was set off from the southern portion. In 1692 Essex County was divided into three townships, known as Newark, Elizabethtown and Aquackanock. The first building used as a court house in Essex County was the church or meeting house of the Presbyterian congre-

gation, which was built in 1668 and i66g. The site of this building was on Broad street, near where No. i

Engine Company's house now is. In 1686 and 1687, mention is made in some of the records of the

county prison, but exactly where that prison stood is not known, but it is believed to have stood near the meetinghouse. About the year 1700, a brick jail was built on Broad street south of the church. The upper story was used for years as a court room. The courts after 1791 were held in the old building on Broad street, which was abandoned by the Presbyterians for their present church structure. In the beginning of the present century there was a bitter contest between Newark and Elizabeth, as to which

was to have the court house in its limits, as it was evident that a new court house must be built. The election lasted three days,and in these elections women were allowed to vote. This permission, however,was confined only to single women and widows, the law expressly excluding "married women, idiots, infants, lunatics, paupers, Indians and slaves." In 1810 a new court house was erected on the corner of Broad and Walnut streets where Grace Church now- stands. It was a large three-story brick building and also contained the jail. This building was burned August r5, 1835. The present court house, vk-hich stands

at the junction of Market street and Springfield avenue, was built in 1837. It is a two-story brown stone building and resembles an Egyptian tomb in appearance. It is a very uncomfortable and ill-ventilated structure and is very unsuitable for the present needs of the county. It has several patch-work additions, notably the County Clerk's office. Prosecutor's and Grand Jury rooms. The County Register's oflice ad- joins the court house on the south and is a handsome three-story brown stone structure. The upper story is used by the Board of Chosen Freeholders, and the other two stories are used by the Register ot Deeds and Mortgages for the keeping of records of these important instruments. In the court house h'EWARK AND ITS POINT S OF INTEREST. are to be found the offices of the Sheriff, Surrogate, County Cierk, County Auditor, and County Col lector. The County Clerk is also the clerk of all the courts of the county, with the exception of the

Orphans' court, of which the Surrogate is clerk. In the County Clerk's ofifice are to be found all the ancient records of the courts as well as those of later date, and the records of the roads of the county, as well as many other important documents of great value to the public. On the second storv of the court house are two large court rooms, the one on the south side being known as the Circuit Court room and the one on the north as the Common Pleas and Sessions Court Room. New Jersey follows the ancient English practice of having separate courts for law and equity practice. It is only the law courts that are held in the court house. The Equity courts, or as they are termed in New Jersey, the Chancery Courts, have their headquarters in Trenton, and are presided over by the Honorable Alexander McGill, - , . - Chancellor of New Jer;:ey. There are, however, two large Chancery Court Rooms X in the Liverpool and London and Globe building, where the Chancellor frequently I mk holds court, and where Vice Chancellor

"fj^ and Advisory Masters are almost daily in attendance, hearing motions and trying causes. The Vice Chancellors are Abram

V. Van Fleet, J. V. Bird, Henry C. Pitney and Robert S. Green. The Advisory Mas- ters are: Washington B. Williams and John R. Emory. Vice Chancellor Van

Fleet is a resident of Newark, as are the two advisory masters. The law courts are divided into the Circuit Court, where the more important civil suits are tried, the Court of Common Pleas, where minor civil cases are disposed of, the Court of Oyer and Terminer, where cases of mur- der and very grevious criminal offenses are tried; the Court of Quarter Sessions and Court of Special Sessions, in both of which the bulk of the criminal business of

the county is done. The Circuit Court is presided over by Judge David A. Depue, who is one of the Justices of the Supreme Court of the State. Judge Depue also pre- NoKJH E.ND Clul; House. sides over the court of Oyer and Terminer, and when sitting in that court has one of the Common Pleas judges associated with him. Judge Depue has held his present position since 1866. He is regarded as one of the ablest jurists that has ever adorned the Supreme Court bench, and is one of the most influential members of the Supreme Court. He is beloved and respected by the entire community. The court of Common Pleas is composed of a President Judge, who is a lawyer, and two Asso- ciate Judges, who are laymen. The present judges are: President Judge, Andrew Kirkpatrick; Lay are also the judges of the Court of Quar- Judges, Michael J. Ledwith and Dr. Carl F. Buttner. These judges ter Sessions and of the Court of Special Sessions. The latter court sits every Monday and tries the cases of persons accused of crime who, for the purpose of having a speedy trial, are willing to waive the right of trial by jury. These same judges are also the judges of the Orphans' Court, where matters relating to wills, the settlement of estates, the guardianship of children, etc., are disposed of.

New street on the south, Wilsey street on the east and Newark street on the west. There are about two hundred prisoners confined there on the average all the year round. A very large and

substantial addition is being constructed to the jail, which will give about ninety more cells. The jail is in charge of Roger Marshall, Warden. In addition to the jail the county maintains a large penitentiary at Caldwell, some eight miles from Newark. This building was erected about fifteen years ago. It stands in the midst of a large farm, on which there is a valuable stone quarry. The convicts in the penitentiar)- nre employed in getting stone out of the quarry, and breaking it up for the making of the county roads- Others of them work upon the farm. The penitentiary is in charge of Warden John Murray, and it is justly regarded as one of the best managed penal institutions in the country. The affairs of the County of Essex are administered by the Board of Chosen Freeholders,

which is composed of eleven members, one from each assembly district of the county, and a Director,

who is the presiding officer of the Board, and is elected by the people of the county at large. This Board has charge of all the financial affairs of the county, the care and maintenance of the bridges m various portions of the county, the jail, penitentiary and lunatic asylum. The present members of the Board are: Director, Dr. Eugene F. Tiessler, of Orange; James Peck, of East Orange; Owen Cahill, Cornelius Leary, Frank McGuinness, John Scanlan, Peter Muilin, Soloman Dejonge, Thomas W. Kinsey, Ellis R. Carhuff, of Newark; Charles W. Winckler, of Orange. Of this Board Messrs. Peck, Kinsey, Carhuff and Winckler are Republicans, the others a.e Democrats. Mr. Peck has been a member of the Board for about thirty years. The officers of the Board are: Director, Dr. Eugene F.

Tiessler; Clerk, Joseph Atkinson; County Counsel, Frederick W. Stevens; County Collector, Thomas J. Regan; County Auditor, Hugo Geissele; Assistant Auditor, Harry Housel; County Physician, Dr. James T. Wrightson; Warden of County Jail, Roger Marshall; Warden of Penitentiary. John Murray; Super- intendent of County Lunatic Asylum, Dr. Livingston S. Hinckley; County Engineer, James Owen; Superintendent of Public Works, Michael Conroy. The County Lunatic Asylum is an institution of which the people of Essex County are especially

proud. It was started some seventeen or eighteen years ago in a small frame building on Camden street, on a lot which was owned by the City of Newark, and which had been purchased by the city for hospital purposes. The building was erected on what was known as the pavilion plan and was placed in its charge of Major John Leonard as warden and Dr. J. A. Cross at physician. The asylum had origin in the dissatisfaction which the members of the Board of Freeholders felt at the treatment the patients of 'Essex County were receiving at the State Lunatic .\sylums at Trenton and Morris Plains. The county asylum proved itself a -success from the outset and grew continually. New buildings were added at frequent intervals, until the asylum occupied an immense series of buildings. These, howeven were but miserable frame structures, totally unsuited to the needs of a great institution such as the Essex County asylum had grown to be, and several years ago the Board of Freeholders purchased a large tract of land on South Orange avenue, near the city line, and began the erection thereon of an imposing and substantial brick structure, four stories high. Just before the building was finished and ready for occupation, Major Leonard, the Warden, to whose wise, humane and judicious management the success of the asylum was largely due, resigned, and Dr. L. S. Hinckley was appointed Superintendent to succeed him. Dr. Hinckley opened the new asylum and has been in charge several years. Hebrought about many improvements in the management, and has introduced many novel features in the care and treat- ^nant of the in-sane He has made the Essex, County T^unatic Asvlnm one of the model institutions in NEWARK AND /TS POINTS OF INTEREST ,^9 the Union for the care of the insane. The percentage of cures here is larger than in any institution in the country. The original asylum building has been added to several times until now there is a vast system of massively constructed, well ventilated, well lighted and cheerful buildings. These buildings were all erected with the greatest care and attention to sanitary matters. They were constructed under the personal supervision of Messrs. Staehlin &: Steiger, who are among the leading architects of New Jersey, and have given a great deal of attention to the erection of public buildings. There are at present nearly four hundred and fifty patients in the asylum. The institution is under the immediate care of the

Committee on Lunacy of the Board of Freeholders. It costs the County of Essex about $75,000 to main tain the institution.

MAHUFACTURING IHDUSTRIES-

Newark is frequently called the Birmingham of America, and it well deserves the title, foi within

Its limits are over 1,200 firms engaged in manufacturing, turning out millions of dollars worth of goods annually, giving employment to tens of thousands of working people and having a capital of over $40,-

000,000 invested in its manufactures. Newark is the third city in the Union in the extent and variety of its manufactures and one of its establishments alone does a business of over $10,000,000 a year. An- other gives employment to fully 4,000 hands, and its works cover acres of ground on both sides of the river. In several branches of manufacture Newark is acknowledged to lead all other cities in the country and any article that bears the stamp of a Newark manufacturer finds a ready sale in any market, for the reason that it is universally acknowledged that Newark Artisans turn out only the best of goods.

During the first century the growth of the manufacturing industries of the town was steady but slow, always thrifty, owing to the industry and frugality of the settlers and their descendants. The apple was planted quite extensively soon after the settlement, for in 1682 Governor Carteret, writing to the

Proprietors in England, said: "At Newark is made great quantities of cider exceeding any that we can have from New England, Rhode Island or Long Island." The reputation for making a superior quality of cider has been maintained ever since. This is the first mention that I find in searching the early history of Newark of manufactured goods. The first shoe maker came here about the year 1676, and the first tannery was started in the "swamp," now part of Market street, in 1698. The progress of manufacturing goods in the town of Newark, during the eighteenth century, was not very rapid, beyond what was needed for home consumption. Toward the close of the century shoe- making was the most prominent industry, and many who attended their' farms during the growing season, turned their attention to shoe-making in Winter. About the same time the manufacturing of carriages and leather was begun on a larger scale. In a description of the town written in the year 1806. it is represented as one of the most flourishing and prosperous in the United States, noted for its fine cider.carriages, coach-lace and quarries. F'rom the year 1806 until 1830 the town grew rapidly both in population and wealth, with a \cry noticeable increase in the variety of articles manufactured for other than home markets. In 1830 a committee, of whom Charles H. Halsey was Chairman, made a careful canvass of the town to learn the magnitude of the manufactured products. In this report it is stated, among the leading industries carried on in Newark, are carriages, shoes, hats, and saddlery hardware. The decade between i860 and 1870 was an eventful one, bringing about many and important changes in the industries of Newark. The breaking out of the civil war suddenly cut off a market for many articles of manufactured goods which were made up expressly for the South. The check upon the sales, with the total loss of the outstanding debts, cramped and strained many of our then stanchest houses, who were forced from these causes to curtail, retire from business, or turn their capital and machinery from their legitimate channels to that of producing a different class of goods. Fortunately for many the Government soon became a large, reliable and steady customer for all kinds of articles needed In supply the wants of a large armv. Newark manufacturers were not slow in adapting their factories tr> NEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF rNTERF.ST furnish these articles in unlimited quantities, and they reaped a harvest of prosperity, at the same time adding new laurels to this city as a place where large quantities of goods were manufactured; and these goods were seldom if ever condemned by Government inspectors. Every factory was run to its utmost capacity, and there is no doubt that manufacturers made money faster than during any previous period in our history. The manufacturing of jewelry was started in this city in the early part of the present century by Epaphras Hinsdale, with a small capital and only half a dozen of hands employed. This firm was a*"terwards Hinsdale & Taylor. Then came Downing & Phelps, and Caring- ton & Baldwin, and later still, Tay- lor & Baldwin. In 1836 there were four jewelry establishments in New- ark, employing 100 men and having an annual product of $225,060. This branch of industry has from the start improved steadily, and now in 1880, three-quarters of a century since Mr. Hinsdale began business here, there have grown up among us seventy-two establishments, with a capital of $2,501,899, employing 2,535 hands, paying in \vages$i,094,oi6, giving an annual product of $4,632,827, and if we add to this the product of gold and silver refining and smelting, we have the enormous amount of annual productions of $13,427,427. One of the chief advantages which Newark possesses over other cities is its prox-

imity, to New York, where it is said twenty-five per cent, of the jewelry trade of America is transacted, and the manufacturers of Newark can thus enjoy the advantages of meeting leading wholesalers from all parts of the United States and Canada on their visits to that city twice a year. In the matter of rents the advantages enjoyed by the Newark manufacturers over those of New York are readily seen, not to mention that of labor, which averages less in this city cost of living). Newark Arthur W. Moore, of Moore & Co., M'f'g Jeweler;;. (owing to enjoys another advantage from the skilled workmen from fact that it is known far and wide as a jewelry center, thus attracting constantly added, all parts of Europe. To be successful in this business new designs must be and many of the best and most attractive designs are furnished by foreigners, although they frequently manufacturers have to be modified for the American trade. Thus it will be seen Newark offers to the many advantages not possessed by other cities. has a history similar to The leather business—that is, tanning and currying of hides and skins— jewelry, and is now the largest single interest that is carried on in Newark. NEWARK .I.Vn ITS rO/.VTS OF rXTF.R EST. \\

The manufacturing of hats is one of the industries started at an early period in Newark, and one that has maintained its position in the foremost ranks of our profitable industries.

The manufacturing of boots and shoes, that was the first and leading industry of Newark, at which two-thirds of the inhabitants of the town were employed in the beginning of the present century, has not kept pace with, nor has it held its position with some of the branches started. The manufacturing of trunks wasbegun here early in the present century, but made slow progress until 1850. It is now among the leading industries of Newark, and it was made so by the men who are now actively engaged in the business.

Saddlery hardware is another important and large interest in this city.

The manufacture of malt liquors is a large and growing interest in Newark. In 1830 there were only two breweries in the town, either of which would be considered very small concerns when compared with the mammoth establishments now in successful operation in Newark. There are at present twenty-six breweries and one malt-house in this city, with a capital of $2,592,300, employing 536 men, paying them in wages $329,800, and manufacturing 601,161 barrels of beer and ale, these, with other salable products, making a gross annual total of $4,508,707. All of Newark's factories and workshops are busy and prosperous. Four large thread works, a linoleum factory, licorice factory, mammoth chemical, zinc and smelting works (one of the latter doing a business of $13,000,000 a year), are all to be found in the limits of this city or its suburbs on the opposite banks of the Passaic. There are three large steel works here, and, indeed, it is hard to tell anything that is not made in Newark. The leather industry is an immense one, and is growing all the lime. Newark is noted the world over for its fine jewelry. The manufacture of celluloid, which was begun in Newark a few years ago, in a very small way, has now swelled to vast proportions, and extended from this city to various parts of the country. Already there are several large factories in the city employing hundreds of hands. Recently all the celluloid interests in the country have been consolidated under the management of one company, known as the Celluloid Company, with a capital of $6,000,000, and it is probable that in a short time all the celluloid factories in other parts of the country will be closed, and the entire business removed to Newark.

BOARD OF TRADE.

The Newark Board of Trade was organized in 1868. Its first president was Thos. W Dawson and its first secretary. Col. G. N. Abeel. The objects of the Board are : " The promotion of trade; the giving a proper direction and impetus to all commercial movements; the encouragement of intercourse between business men; the improvement of facilities for transportation; the diffusion of information concerning the trade, manufactures and other interests of the city of Newark; the co-operation of this with similar societies in other cities, and the promotion and development of the commercial, industrial and other interests of said city."

Newark is fairly a rival of Brooklyn in the claim to be called the "City of Churches." There are one hundred and ten churches in the city as well as a large number of mission chapels. Of the churches ihe Presbyterians have twenty; the United Presbyterians, one; the Reformed, nine; the Congregationalists, two; the Baptists, fifteen; the Episcopalians, eleven; the Reformed Episcopalians, one: the Methodists.

The Peddif. Mkmori.m, B.^pxisr Church.

eighteen; the Methodist Protestants, one; the Lutherans, four; the Swedenborgians,two; the Roman Catholics, nineteen; and the Jews have five Synagogues. The Presbyterian denomination was the first to gain a foothold in Newark, and, indeed, the history of that denomination is coeval with that of the city. For many years the entire city was run as a branch

of the Presbyterian Church The town meetings were held in the First Presbyterian Church and all the NEWARK AND fTS POINTS OF INTEREST. 43 affairs of the town were regulated by that body. The oldest of the Presbyterian churches is the First

Church, which stands on Broad street, near Mechanic. The present edifice is one hundred years old, having been dedicated in January, 1791. The centennial of its dedication was observed in the early part of January, 1891, with impressive services, when Rev. David R. Frazer, D. D., the pastor, delivered in interesting historical sketch of the early history of the present church edifice and spoke of some of the eminent men of the State who have been connected with that parish.

Presbyterian Church numbers among its membership some of the wealthiest and most influential men of Newark. Rev. Dr. MacWhorter, who was its pastor one hundred years ago, was one of the most active and influential of the Revolutionary patriots, and the Rev. Jonathan F. Sterns, D. D.,who was its pastor during the Civil War, was also eminent for his patriotism and his devotion to the cause of the Union. On the Monday when the news of Fort Sumter reached Newark, one of the first places from which the National flag was displayed, was the steeple of the First Church. A crowd collected in front of the building and Dr. Sterns addressed them, delivering a stirring Union speech. This church has in connection with its church edifice a large and handsome two-story brown stone building, containing lecture and Sunday school rooms, ladies' parlors, and other apartments for church work 44 NEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST

The congregation of this church are liberal contributors to benevolent objects of all kinds, as well as. to domestic and foreign missions, and have done much towards building up younger and weaker parishes in other parts of the city.

The Second Presbyterian Church, which is situated on Washington street, corner of James, facing on Washington Park, has a beautiful brown stone edifice with a lofty steeple. This structure was erected a few years ago, and is one of the handsomest churches in town. The history of the church dates back to i8io, when the congregation was formed. The first church building was erected in 1811. The church is very strong and maintains one or tvvo flourishing missions in other sections of the city. The present pastor is the Rev. J. Pleasant Hunter. The Third Presbyterian Church, which stands on Broad street, near Hill, was organized 1824. and is also very strong financially, and socially its members are among the leading men of the city.

It present pastor is the Rev. A. Nelson Hollifield, who is one of the ablest preachers in the city. The Park Presbyterian Church, which occupies a remarably handsome brown stone edifice on the corner of Belleville avenue and Kearny street, is the largest in membership of any Presbyterian church in

New Jersey. Its present pastor, the Rev. J. Clement French, D. D.,who has been in charge since October, 1879, is one of the most eloquent, genial and popular preachers in Newark, and is constantly in demand for lectures and public gatherings. The No. Park Church on Aqueduct street is an off-shoot of this church. The leading churches of the Reformed denomination are the First, on Market street near Beaver, the north on Broad, opposite Washington, Park and the Clinton Avenue on the corner of Clinton avenue and Halsey street. All of these have large and handsome buildings and are in a flourishing condition as regards membership and finances.

The principal Congregational church is the Belleville Avenue Congregational, which is near Fourth avenue, and occupies a very unique brown stone edifice. Its pastor is the Rev. Samuel Loomis. The Baptists, who have fifteen churches, are very strong in Newark. The leading church of this denomination is the Peddie Memorial, which is situated on the corner of Broad and Fulton streets. This is a unique and beautiful edifice, constructed of Indiana lime stone. The style of architecture is a combination of Romanesque and Byzantine. The interior is remarkably handsome. The church and the ground on which it stands cost $355,000. It was erected mainly through the munificence of the late Thomas B. Peddie, who was twice mayor of Newark, twice a member of Congress and one of Newark's leading business men. The church furnished $107,000 of this amount. Mr. Peddie came to Newark a poor boy from Scotland, and by his own industry, thrift and business ability built up an immense trunk and bag business, amassed a fortune and in the last years of his life built this church as a mark of his gratitude to God for the manner in which He had prospered him. Mr. Peddie died before the completion of the building and his widow generously carried out his intentions and completed the building. On the anniversary of his death in February, 1891, she endowed the church, giving it a building in Chamber street. New York, with $125,000, the income of which is to be devoted to sustaining the church. The First Baptist, as the Peddie Memorial Church was originally called, has always been one of the leading churches of Newark. Its pastor during the Civil War, Rev. Henry Clay Fisk, D. D., was one of a coterie of brilliant and patriotic pastors, who did much toward moulding the public sentiment in favor of the Union cause. The church sent many men to the front. Its present pastor is the Rev. W. W. Boyd, D

D., who is one of the most eloquent and original pulpit orators in Newark, a man who takes an active interest in public affairs, and is beloved and esteemed by all who know him.

Trinity Church is the oldest of the Episcopal churches, and its history dates back to a period anterior to the Revolutionary War. The first services of the Episcopal church were held in Newark about 1736, and the first church edifice wat built in 1743, on tbe site now occupied by the present structure. The corner stone of the present church was laid May 22, 1809, and the building was consecrated May 21, 1810. Trinity church has always been a pronouncedly Low or Evangelical church. The congregation are liberal contributors to the cause of domestic and foreign missions.

Grace Church is the second of the Episcopal churches, and had its origin in services that were I held over a savings bank on Broad street, and afterwards in a building on Market street, subsequently occupied by a livery stable. The church was organized in 1837, with the Rev. George T. Chapman, D. XF.JVARK ASrn ITS POfXTS OF r.XTF.RFST 4;

D., as its first rector. The present church edifice, on the corner of Broad and Walnut streets, was built in 1848. A new chancel and sanctuary and parish building were added a few years ago at a cost of$5o,ooo.

The church is overgrown which ivy brought from England by the late Bisliop Doane. Grace Church is one of the most pronouncedly "Ritualistic" churches in Newark. Its music is rendered by a vested choir of men and boys, and it has the credit of having the finest musical service of any church in tht-

State of New Jersey. Its Rector is the Rev. George M. Christian, who is the most eloquent and able preacher in the Episcopal church in New Jersey. Christ Church is the third of the Episcopal churches in Newark, and was organized in 1849 It has a beautiful altar and Reredos erected to the memory of the late Bishop Odenheimer.

The House of Prayer, which stands on the corner of Broad and State streets, is one of the prettiest of the Episcopal churches in Newark. This church has been one of the pioneers in the Ritual- istic or Catholic movement in the Diocese of Newark, and is^noted for its elaborate ceremonial and fine music. It has a large and commodious Sunday school and parish building, and there are two sisters of the order of St. Margaret attached to the parish, who work among the sick and poor.

The other Episcopal churches are St. Paul's, on the corner of High and Market streets, St. Phillip's (colored), on High street, St. Matthew's (German) on Kinney street, St. Stephen's, on Clinton avenue, St. Barnabas', on Susse.\ avenue, St. John's, on Ehvood avenue and St. James', on Belleville avenue.

The Methodist denomination is remarkably strong in Newark, and numbers among its membership some of the most prominent and influential citizens of Newark. The leading church of this de-

nomination is St. Paul's, on the corner of Broad and Marshall streets, which has recently been enlarged and improved at a cost of $15,000. Next in importance to this comes the Central M. E. Church, on Market street. Among the other leading Methodist churches are St. Luke's, on Clinton avenue, the Centenary, on the corner Summer avenue and Kearny street, the Halsey Street Church, on Halsey street, near New, and the Roseville M. E. Church, on the corner of Orange street and Bathgate place. The latter is one of the most beautiful and imposing churches in Newark. The Roman Catholic Church is growing in numbers and importance faster than any other denomination in Newark. The leading church in Newark is St. Patrick's Cathedral, on the corner of Central avenue and Washington streets. The church has a fine parochial school building on Central avenue, a home under the care of the Christian Brothers, and a young ladies' academy on Washington street, under the care of the Sisters of Charity. The oldest Catholic church in Newark is St. John's, on Mulberry street. This also has a flourishing parochial school and Sister's home. Among other prominent churches in Newark are St. James', on Lafayette street, St. .\loysius', on the Bowery, St. Michael's, on Belleville avenue, and St. Joseph's, on Warren street.

HEWARK'S CHARITABLE INSTITUTIOHS.

Newark is noted for the number and extent of its charities, and if there are any poor or sick persons in the city who are not properly cared for it is not for a lack of suitable institutions to meet their cases. The oldest of the charitable institutions of the city is the Female Charitable Society, whose headquarters are located in a handsome three-story brick building on the corner of Halsey and Hill streets. The object of this society is not so much to give alms as it is to help poor women to help themselves. The society conducts a day nursery for children, where women can leave their little ones when they go out to work; a laundry where women are taught washing and ironing, a sewing room and a department where young girls are instructed in general housework. Its Board of Managers is composed of the leading ladies of Newark. ^6 XEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST

The Orphan Asylum, whose building is on the corner of High and Bleecker streets, and the Protestant Foster Home, whose building is on the corner of Belleville avenue and Van Wagenen streets, are doing a noble work in caring for poor and neglected children, who, otherwise, would be without a these institutions home, as is also the Home for the Friendless on South Orange avenue. Each of numbers among its managers representatives of the leading families of the city. Newark has six hospitals, all of which are model institutions. The oldest of them is St. Barnabas, which occupies a large and handsome brick structure on the corner of High and Montgomery streets. a This hospital is in charge of the Sisters of St. Margaret, and its business affairs are managed by Board of Trustees composed of the Bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Newark and representatives of all the Episcopal churches of Newark and vicinity. The largest hospital in the city is St. Michael's, on the corner of High street and Central avenue, the of St. which is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church, and is in charge of the Sisters of Poor

Francis. There is also a Woman's Hospital and an Eye and Ear Infirmary in connection with this hospital. The other hospitals are the City Hospital, on Bank street and Fairmount avenue, the Women and Children's Hospital on South Orange avenue, the German Hospital on Bank and Wallace streets and the Newark Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary on Sterling street. Among the other charitable institutions of the city may be mentioned the Bureau of Associated Charities on Market street, the Children's Aid and Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children on the same street, the Gottfried Krueger Home for Aged Men at Irvington, the Newark City Home a reformatory institution at Verona, the Old Ladies' Home on Mt. Pleasant avenue, the Women's Chris- tian .\ssociation on Court street, the Women's Christian Association on Clinton street, and a number of orphanages and benevolent institutions in charge of the various sisterhoods of the Roman Catholic Church.

THE WATER SUPPLY.

Newark is supplied with water from the Passaic River, the water being taken from the stream at Belleville, about four miles above the heart of the city. As early as 1800 a company was incorporated under the title of the Newark Aqueduct Company, to supply the citizens of Newark with water. They derived their supply from Branch Brook and distributed the water over the city through wooden pipes. Some of these pipes are yet found in making excavations or sewers and other improvements in the various streets in the older parts of the town. In 1828 iron pipes were substituted for the wooden ones. The Newark Aqueduct Company, however, did but a limited business, and by i860, the need of a general supply for the entire city had become so apparent that the Newark Aqueduct Board was incorporated. By its act of incorporation the Aqueduct Board succeeded to all the capital stock, rights, franchises, lands and property of the Newark Aqueduct Company, the consideration being $100,000. The Aqueduct Board soon began making inquiries in regard to a new supply of water. Several sources were considered, but it was finally determined to utilize the Passaic river, which at that time was a beautiful, clear stream. .A large tract of property was purchased on the bank of the river at Belleville, a short distance above the settled portion of that village, and works were erected thereon. These works were completed in 1869, and have been several times added to. The water is pumped from the river by two 8,000,000 gallon Worthington pumps, two 5,000,000 gallon pumps, and from the river is forced to the distributing reservoir, which is located on the summit of a high hill a mile west of the river. From there it is carried in large distributing mains to two reservoirs in Newark, one known as the Low Service Reservoir, on Clifton avenue, and the other as the High Service Reservoir on South Orange and Fairmount avenues. The former supplies the low lying section of the city, and there is also a special high service system at the Clifton avenue pump house which supplies a section of the city that cannot be conveniently supplied by the High Service Reservoir, so that in point of fact the Clifton avenue reservoir supplies the major portion of the city. At both the Clifton avenue and South Orange avenue pump houses there are large and powerful pumps for the purpose of forcing MFAVARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST 47

the water over the city. As early as 1876 the Acnieduct Board and the citizens of Newark generally began considering the subject of a new source of water supply for the city, the consideration being forced upon them by the condition of the Passaic river, which was constantly being more and more polluted by sewage from Paterson and other places. Experiments were made with driven wells on the property of the Board at Belleville, but they proved to be any thing but satisfactory and the idea of utilizing them as a source of supply was abandonded. In 1878 the Aqueduct Board employed Messrs. J. J. R. Croes and Geo. W. Howell, two of the most eminent hydraulic engineers in the United States, to examine and report upon the best source of supply for the city These engineers, after months of patient research, made a most elaborate and carefully written report, in which they advocated abandoning the Passaic altogether as a source of supply, and procuring water from the Pequannock region in Morris County. The cost of this was estimated at $4,000,000. This report has been the basis of everything that has ever since been written on the subject of water supply for Newark, Jersey City and adjacent places. The Aqueduct Board and the people of Newark generally stood aghast at the idea of spending $4,000,000 for anything, and the few people who were bold enough to advocate the adoption of the recommendations of Messrs. Croes and Howell were frowned down upon by almost the entire community, and told that they were trying to bankrupt the city. For years the matter of new water supply was allowed to remain in abeyance, except now and then there would be a sporadic revival of the subject and a rattling of dry bones among the old fossils of the city, who were thrown almost into convulsions at the prospect of being taxed for this new supply. The Aqueduct Board, however, did not altogether abandon the idea of getting a new supply. Indeed, the necessity of one was growing every year more apparent as the pollution of the river increased. The subject began to be discussed frequently at meetings of the Board of Trade and at citizens' meetings. Many sources of supply were considered, such as driven wells, artesian wells, a dual supply, that is one source for drinking and culinary purposes and another for manufacturing and like purposes; another project was to take the water from some of the many small ponds and lakes in the vicinity of Newark or in the adjoining counties of Morris and Sussex. Another project was to purify the Passaic river water by filtration. Nothing, however, was done in the matter until 1888, when a joint committee of the Common Council and the Aqueduct Board, with Mayor Haynes as chairman, was appointed to consider the subject of new water supply. This committee held a large number of meetings, considered all the various projects, and received propositions from owners of water rights in Sussex and Morris Counties. Among the principal parties who

offered to sell water to the city were the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, who had become possessed of valuable water privileges by having secured control of the franchises of the Morris Canal and Bank- ing Company, Julius H. Pratt, who also owned valuable water rights in the northern part of the State and W. A. Bartlett, who also had acquired large water privileges, including several lakes, in this section. All of these parties had availed themselves of the valuable information contained in Messrs. Croes and Howell's report, and had quietly set about acquiring all the water sheds, water rights and lakes which they could purchase, knowing that in time Newark and other cities would be obliged to come to them for a supply, the process of taking these sources of supply by condemnation being far too expensive to

be thought of. In the early part of 1889 a report was presented by the joint committee favoring the ac- ceptance of a proposition made by the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, who were the owners of water rights in the Pequannock, VVynockie and Ramapo water sheds, who offered to sell the city a supply

DUtright for $6,000,000, or to supply it with water by the million gallons for twenty-five years at the rate of $39 for each 1,000,000 gallons up to a consumption of 2,000,000 gallons per day, making a reduction on all water in excess of that amount until it shall reach the sum of $36 per million gallons. After

I full discussion of the subject at several meetings of the Aqueduct Board and the Common Council^

I contract was finally drawn up, by the terms of which it was stipulated that a corporation to be known

IS the East Jersey Water Company should be incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey, ind that the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company should guarantee the faithful performance of the contract )n the part of the East Jersey Water Company. The East Jersey Water Company agreed in the con- ract to supply the city with 27,000,000 gallons of water per day for a term of years, at the rate of $36 per

,000,000 gallons. In the contract it was expressly stipulated that the city was to have the option at any 48 S'F.WARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST time within eleven years of buying the entire plant, including reservoirs, pipe lines, conduits, etc., for $6,000,000 and issuing bonds running thirty years in payment for the same. The city at once exercised this option, and the East Jersey Water Company are now engaged in constructing an extensive system of reservoirs, conduits, etc., to supply the cit}' of Newark. The supply is to be taken from the Pequannock river region, where the water is of exceptional purity, and which is the very section most strongly recommended by Croes and Howell. Extensive reservoirs are being conducted at Oak Ridge, Macopin and Clinton in Morris County. These reservoirs are 350 feet above tide water, high enough to carry the water over the top of any buildingin Newark. The water will be constructed from these reservoirs in large steel or wrought iron pipes across the country down to the distributing reservoir

in Belleville, from which place it will'be distributed into the mains leading to Newark and forced to

all parts of the city by gravity> the pressure gained by the great

headway of the water at its source

of supply, owing to its extreme elevation being sufficient to carry

it all over Newark without pump- mg. This will be a great saving Roma ILLK A\ KM K to the taxpayers of Newark, as the cost of pumping amounts to nearly $100,000 a year. The new water works are to be completed and the water delivered to the city by May, 1892. When this is done Newark will have one of the finest water supplies in the Union. The water has been carefully examined by chemists, and found to be about the purest that is to be had east of the Rocky Mountains. ROSBYILLE.

Here also are a number ~~ Ri..4«:- ; '. ~1 of fine stores and a flourishing athletic club. with a handsome building and well appointed grounds. In this ward are also some of Newark's most prominent charitable institutions, notably the Home for the .Aged, under the care of the Little Sisters of the Poor, the House of the Good Shepherd (an institution for the reformation of fallen women), and the Dominican Convent.

The population of Roseville is 12,076, and the taxable value of property, $5,000,880.

THE POLICE FORCE.

Previous to 1850 there was no organized day police force, and the police duty was performed by constables who were ROSEVILI.E SlREET. A hired for that purpose from time to time, as occasion might require, although there was a niglit police force earlier than this, composed of a mere handful of men, mostly constables, who were known as the leather-head police. In 1850 the first marshal of police was appointed. His name was Whitbeck, and he used to have his headquarters on the second floor of Centre Market. The lockup about this time and for some years previous, was in the basement under the Court House on Market street. The cells that were used then are still in existence, and are sometimes exhibited to visitors as samples of the tortures inflicted on prisoners in bygone days. They are little, narrow apartments in which a man can hardly stand upright, and when the doors are closed are almost pitch dark. About a quarter of a century ago, one of the Essex county judges ordered a man locked up in one of these cells for con- tempt of Court. He became interested in a case he was trying and forgot all about the unfortunate prisoner, whom he had only in tended to lock up for a few minutes, more for the purpose of frightening him than any thing else, and left him in the cell for three hours. When the man was taken out he was unconscious, and at first it was thought dead, but after working with him some time he recovered, and since that time these cells have never been used. Marshal Whitbeck went to Cali- fornia in 1853 or 1854, and Rich- ard Francisco was elected Chief Marshal and Eliphalet C. Blazier and Robert Lang Assistant Mar- shals. They also had their headquarters over Centre Market. The city subsequently rented a brick \'iE\v FRo.M Athletic Club House NEWARK AJ\tD ITS POINTS OF INTEREST.

building on Academy street, where the post office now stands, and established a police station there. Robert Lang was made Chief Marshal in 1856. In 1857 the police force was reorganized, and Henry C. Whitney was made Chief, and the headquarters were moved to the lower end of Centre Market, where a lockup was fitted up. In 1865, the Police Headquarters building was erected on William street in the rear of the City Hall, and for many years this was the only police station in Newark. About fifteen years ago the Second Precinct station house was opened in the City Armory building on Morris and Essex Railroad avenue. There are now four police station houses in Newark, as follows : the First Precinct, or Police Headquarters, on William street; the Second Precinct, on Morris and Essex Railroad avenue; the Third Precinct, on Ferry street; the Fourth Pre- cinct, on Springfield avenue. The police force of Newark for years was entirely under the control of the Common Council, and whenever the political complexion of that body changed there was a general overturning among the officers of the department, and wholesale removals even of patrolmen. For a few years past, however, the control of the department has been taken from the Common Council and placed in the hands of a non-partisan board of four Police Commissioners, two Repub- licans and two Democrats. Since then there has been a marked improvement in the morale and discipline of the force. The present Board of Po-

lice Commissioners are : President John W. Strahan, (Democrat); Osceola Currier, (Republican); Ed- ward Maher, (Democrat); Henry Dilly, (Repub-

lican); Joseph M. Cox is the secretary of the Board.

The present Chief of Police is Henry Hopper, who has been a member of the force for over ten years, and entered the department as a patrolman. He was promoted to the position of Captain of the Second Precinct in 1887, and was made Chief of Police in 1887. Chief Hopper is a thorough disci- Li\ i:kF(ii)L l,(j.Miii.\ AM) Glohk BUILUIXU. plinarian, a man fully conversant with all the requirements of police duty, an agreeable and courteous gentleman and a man of unblemished reputation. He has brought the police force up to a remarkable standard of excellence, and in so doing has been ably seconded the by four captains under him, who are: Michael Corbitt, First Precinct; Andrew J. McManus, Second Precinct; William P. Daly, Third Precinct; Charles Glori, Fourth Precinct. All of these captains are men who have risen from the ranks and have won promotion by their merits. The force at present consists of one Chief of Police, four Captains, ten Lieutenants, fen Sergeants, five Detectives, under the command of Detective Sergeant Stainsby,i7o Patrolmen and six detailed men.one Police Surgeon,one Tru- ant Officer, one Electrician, four Drivers, one Stableman, and one Janitress. The city is now equipped with a police patrol signal system, by which through signal boxes placed at convenient intervals about the streets, the patrolmen can communicate with their respective station houses, and summon patrol wagons to their aid with a reserve force of men when needed, so that in case of riot or disturbance it would be possible to concentrate a large force of policemen at any given point in a few minutes.

The Newark police force to day is a well disciplined body of men; neat and clean in their personal

appearance and habits; well drilled in all the military movements and tactics necessary far them to know, so much so, in fact, that when marching through the streets of the city favorable comment from citizens is iieard on all sides. NEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST.

THE HEWARK FIRE DEPARTMEHT.

The Fire Department of Newark is admitted by all firemen to be one of the best in the United States. The history of the department dates back to nearly a hundred years ago. In January, 1797, tl)e elegant residence of Judge Elisha Boudlnot, on Park place, caught fire and was burned down. This led to the organization of Newark's first fire company. A call was issued for a meeting of the inhabitants of Newark, who had subscribed and were willing to subscribe towards the purchase of a fire engine, to meet at the Court House on January 17, 1797, for the purpose of consulting 0:1 the purchase of an engine, and the formation of two fire companies. It does not appear, however, that an organization was effected on that evening, but on January 26th a company was formed, composed of the best men in the town. On February 6th, 1797, the Newark Fire Association was formally organized. The members of the association procured leathern fire buckets, and for many years afterwards these buckets were kept hanging in the halls of the leading residents of the city, where they could readily be grasped in case of

fire. The first fire engine was a very rude affair, and even the few small fires that occurred in Newark at

that time taxed it to its utmost capacity. The first serious fire that occurred in Newark was in 1805. when the largest store in town, which was situated on the corner of Broad and Orange streets, was burned down. About 1815, a second fire company was organized under the name of Relief Engine Co. No. 2. In

1819 Fire Company No. 3, was organized and a new engine, the first ever built in Newark, was brought

into use. Somewhere about 1831, fire companies Nos. 4 and 5 were formed. In June, 1854, the Town Council, who had become disgusted at the disorders and insubordination in the various companies, took possession of the engine houses and locked them up, and then began the work of reorganizing the department. The rowdy element was eliminated from the various companies and effective and well disciplined companies were brought into existence. In i860, there were thirteen fire companies in Newark,

and it was urged that there should be steam fire engines purchased. The project was bitterly opposed by many of the firemen. During this year, however, two steamers were procured, the Minnehaha and Washington. The former was operated by members of Exempt Engine Co. No. i. The Fire Depart- ment was again organized in 1888, when the control of the department was taken from the Common Council and placed in the hands of a non-partisan commission, composed of two Republicans and two Democrats, appointed by the Mayor. During the year 1889, the department was made to consist entirely of men paid to devote their whole time to the service, and the call system as it had heretofore existed was abolished. Up to that time there had been a few men attached to each company who were paid to give their whole time to the service of the department, but the bulk of the department consisted of what are known as "call men," who were engaged at other avocations, and who on the sounding of the

fire alarm bells dropped their work, ran to the scene of the fire and found their respective companies- Now the entire force is a permanent one, whose members are always on duty. The doing away of the call system has made a marked improvement in the discipline and efficiency of the force, which even

prior to that time had a most excellent reputation all over the Union. The department now consists of eleven steam fire engine companies, one chemical engine company and three hook and ladder companies. The present Board of Fire Commissioners are President Edward Schickhaus, (Democrat); Hugh Kin- nard, (Democrat); Henry R. Baker, (Republican); Marcus L. DeVoursney, (Republican). The Secretary of the Board. of the Board is Mr. J. Frank Hewson, who has held that office since the organization The Chief Engineer is Robert Kiersted, who has held that office since 1885. Chief Kiersted has been connected with the department since boyhood, and has risen from the ranks by his own merits. He is

one of the best firemen in the country, and is noted for his coolness and bravery at fires. He is a strict

disciplinarian and at the same time is a genial and courteous gentleman, and is liked and respected by the men under him, while he possesses the confidence and esteem of the insurance underwriters, and of the business community generally. The headquarters of the fire department are on the corner of Hal- sey and Academy streets, and here the chief engineer has his office. Here also the inspector of build-

ings is located. Chief Kiersted has a valuable coadjuter in the person of his clerk, Mr. Horace H. Brown, who has been Chief Engineer's clerk under several chiefs. Mr. Brown has been connected with 5 2 NEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST. the fire department since boyhood, and knows more about its workings and its history and about fire matters generally than any other man in Newark. The Assistant Chief Engineer is William C. Astley, who has his headquarters at the chemical engine house on Market street. He is also an old fireman, having many years experience in various positions. Next in rank to him comes District Engineer Louis M. Price, who looks after the "Hill" section of the city and has his headquarters at No. 3 truck house.

The fire department consists of 138 men as follows : one Chief Engineer, eleven Captains of steam engine companies, three Captains of truck companies, one Captain of chemical company, eleven drivers of steamers, eleven drivers of horse wagons, eleven engineers of steamers and eight or nine men attached to each steam engine company, nine men attached to each truck company, four men attached to chemical company, and seven men detailed for other purposes. The city has the Gamewell electric fire alirm system, which is in cha»-ge of Superintendent Adam Bosch, who has three linemen under him. LEADING BUSINESS MEN OF NEWARK.

Nearly all rare aud costly things have their cheap imitations in these days. Perhaps this is more the ease with jewels than with other articles, for the precious metals aud stones are naturally very expensive, and the taste for adornment is born in most people. Therefore, many who cannot afford the real are willing to put up with sham. The market is flooded with these really beautiful imitations, vihich need the trained eye of an expert and connoisseur to detect from the real. It is not surprising, then, that many people spend large sums on beautiful stones, only to find when too late, that they have been abominably swindled. It is never safe to trust to one's individual judgment in the choice of jewels. There are many establishments that make a specialty of these things, aud that have a reputation for strict integritv in their dealings. These are to be found in Newark as elsewhere, and among them we take pleasure in calling attenticiu to .Messr.s. Wm. T. Rae & Co. This house was founded in 18.50 by Mr. Rae, who, four years later, associated himself with Mr. V. M. Wright, his present partner. These gentlemen are both natives of New York State, but from their long residence in Newark and their high standing, are very well known in this city. They make a specialty of diamonds, of which their stock is large and choice. Watches of all kinds and prices will be found here, as well as a fine assortment of jewelry. The premises occupied are at 707 Broad street, at the corner of Cedar street. Five courteous assistants are in constant readiness to show these choice goods to customers, to whom we can only recommend a call upon Messrs. Rae & Co., if ihev need anvthin<; in this line.

THE MASSACHUSETTS MUTUAL LIFE Insurance Co., Springfield, Mass. A. W. Bray, Jr., General Agent, 740 Broad Street, Newark, N. J. The desirability of Life Insurance being no longer a subject for argument, the question to be settled by the ordinary individual having others dependent upon him, or being desirous of taking out an endowment policy narrows itself down to just about this— "In what company can I insure to the best advantage ?" Attention is naturally first called to Massachusetts companies, for this State leads the Union in life insurance legislation, and a company chartered under existing laws is not only obliged to make its policies clear and explicit, but is held closely to its obligations even to the most trivial detail. Among Massachusetts companies the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company of Springfield stands easily first, and whether you want dependable insurance at the lowest possible cost, or are seeking particularly to obtain a policy that one with the poorest head for figures can readily understand, you can possibly do no better than to make application at the office of A. W. Bray, Jr., General Agent, 7-tO Broad street, Newark, New Jersey. He will be happy to give you all desired information, and will furnish circulars, etc., which clearly explain the peculiarities of the State laws governing the policies, and also treat in detail of the value of any given policy at any given time. Every policy issued by the Massachusetts Mutual is incontestable after two full annual premiums have been paid, and thereafter has ,

AS. H. LINDSLEY, Architect, 762 Broad Street, J Newark, N. J.

at all No one acquainted with building operations will deny that on the skill of the architect depends in a great measure, not only the convenience and tasteful character, but also the cost of the finished structure and it may be accepted as an unvarying rule that it always pays to employ the best talent available iii ihe architectural line. Before opening his office in 1876, Mr. Lindsley was a student with the late R. G. Hatfield, of New York, an architect identified with many prominent works in that city, and after several years experience in practical building, has been engaged for fifteen years in the practice of his former profession, fully equipped in all its varied departments for its most successful exercise, as is evinced by many prominent works in this city, notably the Murphy Varnish Works, the Monmouth Street School Building, a large number of private residences and business buildidgs throughout Essex County, and the recent remodeling of St Paul's M.

State Agent NMional Life Insurance Company of Montpelier, Vermont.

Since 'Me lays when "in the name of the great Jehovah and bj' the authority of the Continental Con- gress," brave bujan Allen thundered at the gates of the British fortress of Ticonderoga, the snug little Green Moun- tain State has been unsurpassed in the heroic qualities of its sons, the womanly virtues of its daughters and the beauty and staying qualities of its horses. The business institutions of a State partake of the character of its people. The granite hills of Vermont, in their massive strength and durability, are an emblem of the State's leading financial institution—the National Life Insurance Company of Montpelier. Incorporated in 1848, its business career practically covers the whole history of life insurance in America. Among its original incorporators were the honored names of Henry Clay, of Kentucky: Amos Abbott, of Massachusetts: Alexander Ramsey, of Pennsylvania, and Paul Dillingham, ex-Governor of Vermont, the last of whom at ninety years of age is still one of the vigorous and active directors of the Com]iiny. Its officers have always been men of conservative and economical tastes and habits. Its president, Hon. Charles Dewey, is by common consent, oneof the leading financiers of New England. The National is a purely mutual company, every dollar of its earnings being divided exclusively among its policy holders. Beside its large cash dividends annually paid its policy holders, the National has for more than forty years past paid its entire death losses from its interest earnings alone. Only wisdom and rigid economy of management with great care in selection of its risks has enabled the Company to achieve such results. With its business well distributed through only the healthful Northern States of the Union, its mortality has been very low. Another of its crowning glories is in the fact that the National has always been the pioneer in every just and liberal provision known to policy contracts. It indulges in no guess work or deceptive "estimates," which are sure to disappoint the policy holder, but in every form of bond or policy the National writes in plain black and white on the face of every contract definite gwara?i

In a large city of Newark's size, there is always a great deal to do in the plumbing line, and we suppose that it is owing to this fact that there are so many engaged in the business. Not every one engaged in it are competent men, however, and this is noticeable ia many trades where plenty of work can be had. Now it is kiiown to many that a great progress has been made of late years in the mode of plumbing houses and buildings, and that improved devices of all sorts have been introduced, which tend to make our buildings more sanitary, yet many also ignore the fact, and in building or repairing their premises, engage the services of incompetent plumbers or "job-botchers" as they are termed. The public should wake up to the fact, that the plumbing of their dwellings is a very important one, and that when they have work of this kind to be done, to procure the service of men who have kept up to the times and know their business.

CHARLES B. SMITH. Deal- er in Acids, Chemicals, Dyes, White Lead, Oils and Photographic Chemicals. Jlanufacturers' Supplies a Specialty, 861 Broad Street, Newark, N. J. Very few persons, aside from those whose busi ness keeps them informed on the subject, have any adequate idea of the enormous consumption of drugs, chemicals, dye stuffs, etc., in this country, for, leaving what are used for medical purposes entirely out of the question, there would still remain a tremendous demand on the part of manufacturers, photographers, dyers, etc. One of the leading wholesale druggists of New Jersey is Mr. Charles B. Smith, who is a native of Lackawanna, Penn., and has been identified with his present enterprise since 188.5. It was inaugurated in 1835, by Mr. C W. Badger, and in 1ST3 came under the control of Messrs. C. W. Bad- ger & Co., who were .succeeded by the present proprietor fifteen j-ears later. Mr. Smith is a dealer in acids, chemicals, dyes, white lead, oils, and photographic chemicals, and makes a leading specially of manufacturers' supplies. Very

J. T. HHRTSHORNE 5 CO., COAL,

Hos. 49 AND 51 MURRAY STREET, NEWARK, U. J.

The firm whose card forms the heading of tliis sketch has been before the public a sufficient length of time to establish its deserved reputation as a house doing business on a strictly honorable basis. We therefore esteem it a pleasure to chronicle tlie success it has attained, and earnestly advise our readers to think of this article when about to buy coal — it will pa}' you. We do not intend to convey the idea that j'oti can buy cheaper of this house than any other, for, as is well known, coal dealers in this city amicably and reasonably agree on regular market rates, so that as ior j>fice, that is the same anywhere. We do mean to say, however, that different dealers carry different grades of coal bearing the same name. Tiiis is the point we wish to bring out. The firm of J. T. Hartshorne

& Co. has alwa^-s dealt in first quality coal, trusting the public would recognize and appreciate its efforts to deal fairly by its patrons. Such has, in fact, been the case, for the liberal patronage wiiich has been accorded this house since Messrs. J. F. Hartshorne and A. Turnbull (the company), assumed control, forcibly illustrates the reaction, looking at the matter in the light of a cause and an effect. Poor coal is dear at any price, therefore, it is economy to patronize a house known to be reliable, in the coal it carries. Such a house is that of

Hartshorne & Co. The coal they carry is warranted to be free burning and free from slate. A specialty is made of Blacksmiths' and Manufacturers' coal, and in this connection a trial order is solicited. The service of the house is accurate and prompt, there being a large force of men and horses in readiness and attendance at all times. The yard is conveniently located at

Nos. 49 and 51 Murray street. Its dimensions are spacious and well adapted for the purposes for which they are intended. A neatly fitted up office is a feature of the establishment, and the scales therein invar iahly register 2,000 pounds per ton, as the load leaves the yard for its destination.

Honesty and square dealing have had much to do with the success Messrs. Hartshorne & Co. have thus far attained. With such a record, the business of this firm should continue to increase. We hope the resideuts of this neighborhood will appreciate tlie faitliful endeavors of Messrs. Harts- iiorne & Co.

Office Nos. 13,^ and 137 Halsey Street, New- ark, N. J. The Huntington Ma- chine Works of the city of New- ark, N. J., not only enjoy a local reputation of high standing m the superiority of the work which is turned out, but a very wide one throughout the State. It is a credit to the citizens of our city, to know that Newark ranks sixth, as the most important city engaged in the manufacturing industries of this country. This reputation is based upon the existence in our midst of such establishments as the one we have alluded to. True, there are many turning out work of a similar nature, but no where in our city do we find an establishment doing business pertaining to machinery, who execute their work any better tlian the Huntington Machine Works. A firm who carry on a business manufacturing steam engines, shafting, pulleys and wood working machinery, and carry it on successfully, must have at its helm, men who are more than ordinary mechanics. It is, of course, well known, that the highest degree of skilled labor is necessary to be employed in the construction of such machinery, and that none but first- class work is allowed to pass in establishments of higli standing. Without exaggeration, we can say that the Huntington Machine Works possess all these qualities, and it is a fact, that if the firm Las succeeded as well as

it has, I hat it is due to the truth of this statement. Like all things, good work finds its level, and that turned out by the firm in question, has found itself upon a level with other reputable machinery works in Newark. The firm is composed of Messrs. J. W. Smith and C. Landell. Both these gentlemen have made their mark as machinists of a superior order, and the market knows them too well to allow us to dwell unnecessarily in intro- ductions. Employment is afforded to twenty-live skilled mechanics the year round. Par- ties in business, or contemplating going into busiress, would do well to investigate the advantages which the Huntington Machine Works offer in the machinery they manufacture. Steam enrines, shafting, pulleys and wood working machinery for, cabinet and box makers, planing mills, etc., are all spec- '}Zj iiiiiSJ ialties with the firm, who oiler upon this kind of machinery, prices which, if known to all, would furnish sufficient inducements to cause many to place their orders with the firm.

As may be seen from the accompanying illustration, the building is one possessed of a handsome architectural effect which inspires thoughts of the substantial. The large plate glass fronts are worthy of note, as they are as large as any in the city. The building is four stories high and is of the dimensions of 75x100 feet, the basement is neatly finished off also, so that in the store itself are 37,500 square feet of available space in which to accommodate the immense stock carried. We are forced to generalize rather than enter into detail upon the stock which this house carries. Suffice it to say, that the person who once pays the establisnmeut a visit of inspection, becomes convinced that no other similar establishment in the city equals it in point of beaiitj' and quality of the goods carried. The enumeration of the goods which we have given in the headingof our article will give an adequate idea of the goods handled. The great feature of this house is its characteristic of selling articles of superior merit at the most reasonable terms. This is what interests the public, and what has been the key of success to Messrs. MuUer & Schmidt. Both these gentlemen are natives of Germany, but have resided in this countrj' for many years.

Their knowledge of the furniture business would swell the yearly amount of business transacted by parties who are in the same line, and yet frequently are so ignorant of their business as not to be able to distinguish a cherry stained set from the genuine article. The employment of twelve competent salesmen and assistants is necessitated to meet the requirements of the trade. Three wagons and five horses are also kept on the go at all times delivering goods. These beautiful vehicles are familiar sights on the streets of our city. An elevator is a feature of the store, and does away with the tedious climbing of stairs.

FEEEMAN & CO., General Commission Merchants in Fruits and Produce of all Kinds, Eggs, Butter. Poultry, Game, etc., .51 South Orange avenue, corner How- ard Street, Newarkj N. J. The commission house of Free- man & Co. was not maugurated until the year 1S90, but the success it has met with and the liberal patronage which it has received, makes it worthy of an establishment of much longer standing. Mr. Freeman is a native of this city, and is an energetic and enterprising business man. The manner in which he has so ably begun his present enterprise proves our statement. There is so much competition now-a-daysin the fruit and produce commission business, that he who succeeds in it must be pretty well informed, and know how to buy judiciously and sell reasonably. Mr. Freeman and his partner are equal to any and all emergencies which miglit arise, however, so they have launched themselves in the surging sea of competitors, and intend to run their chance in the great race for wealth. We prognosticate from present appearances that fortune will smile upon their efforts, for their business methods are honorable and their integrity is unimpeachable. They handle fruits and produce of all kinds, and eggs, butter, poultry, game, etc., are also paid attention to,meats being carried in Winter. The premises are 27x7.5 feet in dimensions, so that there is room enough to carry a large stock. We recommend this house to the readers of the History of Newark. The prices quoted are the lowest in the market, the goods are A 1 in quality, and come straight from the produceis. Four courteous assistants take and fill orders.

Well, may we ask it, too, for there are so many dealers who sell inferior goods in this line. But we know of a place where none but the purest unadulterated of these nice things are sold, and that place is at A. Mason's, at No. 292 Orange street, in this city. A large reception room 18x22 feet is there with all its coolness, and it makes a nice place to step into for refreshments. The business was inaugurated by Mrs. H. Mason in 1886, but two years later A. Mason took charge of the establishment. Call and be convinced, that the best ice cream, candy and cigars in the city may be had here. Fresh candies are kept in abun dance at this establishment. All the confectionery is manu factured on the premises, and is guaranteed to be as pure as it is possible for candy to be pure.

R. S. YOUNG. ^i-GROCER.i^

And Dealer in Woodenware and Hoiisenold Hardwanv

No. 512 Oraie St, Newark, N. J,

It is a very pleasant task to chronicle the continued success of an enterprise, always carried on in accordance with progressive and honorable methods, and steadily in •leasing in patronage and influence. Such an undertaking IS that conducted by Mr. R. S. Young, at No. 512 Orange street, and so thoroughly does it deserve its present prosperity that its high standing is as much of a credit to the community as to the proprietor of the business in question. He is a native of New Jersey, and has been identified with his present business since 1888, having started it at East Orange, removing to Newark in 1889. The premises occupied are of the dimensions of 35x.56 feet, thus affording ample opportunity for the carrying of a heavy stock, comprising choice staple and fancy groceries, also woodenware and household hardware, specialties being English Blend Tea, Excelsior Java Coffee, fresh butter and eggs, superior beef, bam and bacon. Employment is given to three experienced and courteous assistants, and despite the magnitude of the business, orders are filled with a promptness and accuracy, such as are seldom attained even at much smaller establishments. It is hardly necrssary to say that a dealer of Mr. Young's standing and experience is able to qnote the very lowest market rates on his goods, while at the same time fully guaranteeing them to prove as represented. Mr. Young has a very large number of regular customers, and spares no pains to maintain the enviable reputation his establishment has held so long. J ACOB DEVAUSNEy,Pliimher, 4fiS OniDge St., Newark.

J. BETZLEK, Roseville Pharmacy, 503 Rose- ville Avenue, Corner Orange Street, Newark, N. J. The Roseville pharmacy has been known and patronized for ten years or more, but to no .such extent as is the case at present. Founded in 1S80 by Mr. Whitewack, the establishment was purchased three j-ears ago by the present proprietor, Mr. Jacob Betzler, who completely remodelled the business and the premises. The results are of the most favorable nature, for under the new regime, the Roseville pharmacy has grown in popularity, and the business has increased three fold, Mr. Betzler is undoubtedly the right man in the right place, for he has had thirty years experience in this branch of business, and is thus in a position to take a stand among the most prominent pharmacists in the countr3^. Mr. Betzler was formerly associated with the well known Dr. Lott Southard, of whose property and store he took entire charge. He was also partner in the drug business for five years before his accession to the Roseville pharmacy. The premises in use are situated at No. .503 Orange street, corner Roseville avenue, and are of 25x50 feet in dimensons. They are conveniently fitted up and are neat and attractive in every way. Several skilled assistants are in constant attendance, and all patrons are assured of being both well and promptly served.

The illustration upon this page fitly introduces the worlcs of the McKirgan Oil Co. to the attention of our readers. This house is one of the largest and most favorably known manufactories and wholesale dealers in illuminating, lubricat- ing and animal oils in the country, and by reason of the heavy stock carried, the facilities provided and the large capital invested, it is exceptionally well prepared to fill the heaviest orders without delajf. New and elegantly appointed offices have recently been fitted up and occupied, and are connected by Long Distance Telephone. This enables the many representatives of the company (who patrol the entire territory covered by the United States) to send in their orders as soon as taken, they in turn being filled as soon as received. Delays in shipping, therefore, seldom occur. The enterprise in question was founded a quarter of a century ago, operations having been begun in 186.5. The present company was incorporated in the year 18So, and is essentially a NewarTc enterprise, as its officers are all citizens of this city. They are as tollows; Mr. C. M. Coburn, President; Mr. C. E. Young \ ice-President, and Mr. H. G. Tillou. Treasurer. The plant is located betweei Nos. 96 and 106 Passaic street, and measures 200x400 feet. There are included within this spacious areas two two-story building.s, and four tanks holding approximately 7,000 barrels of oil. Employment is afforded to fifty work, men, and the factories and store rooms are fitted up with all the necessary and modern conveniences and facilities to enable operations to be carried on to the best possible advantage. A half dozen branch stores are maintained in difTerent sections of the surrounding country, the trade of the company being as wide in scope as it is large in volume. Among the specialties handled are deodorized naphthas and machine gasolines of all gravities, "Brilliant" safety oil, and the Pratt Manufacturing Co.'s "Astral"— these, and, in fact all the oils carried being supplied to the trade and consumers in large or small quantities at short notice, and at the lowest market rates on goods of none but superior quality. Mr. C. E. Yonng, besides acting in the capacity of Vice-President, is also General Manager of the work.s. He is one of those men who have earned the position they occupy. The patronage of the business men who use oil in their establishments is respectfully solicited, and we are confident the long standing of this house will speak for itself.

That an immediate and very large increase of business should have been the result of the Company's action at the time referred to we need hardly add, for were the contrary the case the American people would but poorly deserve their reputation for keenly aj)preciating pluck and honor in business transactions. The Company's record in connection with the late disaster at Seattle, Spokane Falls, Lj'nn and Boston, has emphasized the lesson taught in '71 and '72, and plainly demonstrated that "the best is the cheapest"—in in surance as in other things. The State office for New Jersey is located in the Company's building, at the corner of Broad and Mechanic streets. This is a handsome and commodious structure, supplied with all modern improvements and facilities, including two elevators, which are running constantly during business hours. It contains a large number of finely-appointed offices, those not required by the Com pany being rented to lawyers, agents, etc., and being in active demand, as the location is central, and the conveniences unsurpassed. Messrs. Wood & Van Sant act as general agents for New Jersey, and receive applications for insurance, as do also local agents and brokers throughout the State. A large force of clerks is employed, and all business is assured immediate and careful attention, losses being promptly and equitably adjusted and paid. The present condition of the company's affairs in this country is clearly shown by the annexed statement Statement of United States Branch,.Jan. 1. 1891.

Notions and Boys' Clothing. Millinery Department, 195 Springfleld Ave. Clothing Department, Cor. Prince St. and Springfield Ave.

In compiling the "Historj- of Newark and its Leading Business Men," our work would certainly be incomplete did we not make extended mention of the three large establishments conducted in this city by one of its most enterprising citizens, on Springfield avenue. We have reference to Mr. S. Heyman. As everyone who has resided in Newark any length of time knows, this gentleman began business in this section of the city some twelve yeais ago, and at first, on a comparatively small scale. We need but point out the three magnificent stores he conducts at tlie present day, as illustrative of the fact that nothing but his able management and business tact have won for him the success he has attained. We may truly slate that Mr. Heyman is a self-made man, for his success in business is not due to any money he ever inherited from anyone, but is the direct outcome of his industry, perseverance and thrifty habits. These are the traits characteristic of self-made men, and they exist in the gentleman to whom we have reference. Were more of our citizens of this disposition the welfare of Ihe community would be proportional. Mr. Heyman is a native of Hungaria, Austria, and has resided in this country for a number of years; his long residence in this city and his business relations have made for him hosts of both business and social friends. Mr. Heyman's dry and fancy goods store at Nos. 20S, 210 and 212 Springfield avenue is an immense concern composed of three floors, each seventy-five feet square; this affords 16,875 square feet of available space, and without entering into the endless details of the heavy stock carried, we can state that no store out of New York is better prepared to meet the wants of the public in the dry goods line. The ladies of Newark and especially of this section of the city have long since learned to visit this establishment when in search of the latest fashi)nable novelties. No satisfying explanation of the popularity of this dry goods estnblishment can be given in a few words, but the chief reason why Mr. Heyman's store has gained the confidence of the purchasing public, is simply because he has never spared pains to deserve it. From the very inception of the busines; the business metho Is of Mr. Heyman have been uniformly reliable; no false representations have ever been made no fictitious value-" have ever been quoted; on the contrary, full faith has been kept with the public and every precaution has been taken to give e "Ch purchaser honest value for money paid. Closelv affiliated with this important branch of industry is the millinery trade. In this connection Mr. Heyman has also launched out in a spacious and finely appearing store, located at No. 195 Springfield avenue. To form an adequate idea of the stock caiied in this department of Mr. Heyman's enterprises, we would say that it must be seen to be appreciated. The store is under the superintendency of competent assistants, and the most fastidious tastes are given satisfaction. All the staple shapes and latest novelties in ladies" hats and bonnets are displayed, and the quality of the goods sold in this department, as in the others, may be depended upon. The stock is purchasea from the most dependable sources and is sold at the most reasonable prices consistent with goods of honest grades. We take pleasure in inviting our readers" attention in a special manner to this department, for we have personally inspected the store and stock and we pronounce it irrepioachable in every feature. We have thus far said nothing of Mr. Heyman's immense gents' clothiig store, which may be found at the corner of Prince street and Springfii- Id avenue. This is last, but not least, for no establishment in Newark engaged in this line is prepared io offer better inducfments Some clothing stores may equal it in point of quantity of stock carried, but we doubt if there be one that can offer a more genuinely 7iO«^.s; stock at the prices quoted. This store has developed from a small beginning to the leading position of which we speak, and the obvious conclusion must be that ihe public must have good reasons to be satisfied with their purchases. As goods vary in cost, the articles of clothing sold vary in price, but every garment is honestly and skillfully made. Competent and courteous assistants are employed, and every purchase is always guaranteed to prove as repiesented, the least misrepresentation not being countenanced. Mr. Heyman employs in all, about thirty-five salesmen and ladies. Courteous attention is paid to all visitors whether they purchase or not. Call and be convinced of the truth of our assertions.

E. HEYMAN, "^^^^ " FIItfE BOOTS /LItfD SHOCS,

218 & 220 Springfield Ave., Newark, N. J.

The gentleman whose card heads this article inaugurated his business in the year 1883. Mr. Heyman is a native of this city and is consequently well known to its citzens. The nature of his boot and shoe business par- takes both of a wholesale and a retail nature, and requires the assistance of five skilled clerks to succe-sfully carry it on. The premises utilized are embodie 1 in two floors, each 30x60 feet in dimensions. This affiirds 8,600 square feet of available space, wherein an immense stock of boots, shoes, rubbers, slippers, gniters, rubber boots, tennis shoes, patent leather goods, etc., etc., are kept in every variety conceivable. Mr. Heyman put $1,000 in this place when he started it. That was eight years ago, and the investment seems to have turned out to be a profitable one, as the house has stood Ihe test bravely, and came out head and shoulders above competitors of much longer standing in the business. This is "business on the first floor," as the expression goes but a great deal of lurd work has been necessitated on Mr. Heyman s part to guide his store into the channels of success, in which it is now safely anchored. We congratulate the gentleman upon the success his establishment has attained, and we take occasion to inform the public of this city and surrounding towns that we know of no boot and shie store in this section of the State where superior gc>ods in this line may be obtained for so low prices. This is Mr. Heyman's lookout, however, and we think he is able to see his way through all right, and still sell cheaper than any where else. Call and give the establishment in question a trial and be convinced of the truth of our statement. 148 LEADING BUSINESS MEN OE NEIVAEK.

They have a large and extensive plant for the manufacture of all kinds of jewelry. They were the Hr.st firm in the United States to use steam power in the manufacture of jewelry, and have always added every new and valuable improvement that has been made in tools or machinery that would improve the standard of their goods.

TuK Jean Tack Block, Corner Waverly Place and Somerset Street. EDWARD A. WURTH, Architect, Work Inspected and Superintended; Valuation and Arbi- tration a specialty; office, 748 Broad Street, Newark, N. J. The modern city architect is called upon to solve many coniplex problems, for the conditions he is obliged to consider vary more or less in every instance; and the question of how to furnish a maximum of accommodation with a minimum of building space available, and, at the same time to suitably provide for architectural beauty of design and excellence and perfection of every detail, both as regards strength and convenience, is one which requires thorough training and great natural ability to answer satisfactorily. Newark has its share of competent and progressive architects, and among them is Mr. Edward A. Wurth, who has an office at No. 748 Broad street. He is a native of this c'ty and began the practice of his profession here in 1889. Mr. Wurth is a thoroughly well-equipped architect, and is prepared to execute commissions of all kinds coming within the scope of his profession, but he makes a specialty of valuation and arbitration, and his services are largely availed of in this connection, his ability and integrity being very generally known and appreciated. Another important department of his business is the inspection and superintendence of work, and those who wish to be sure that specifications and plans are accurately followed may gain that assurance by employing Mr. Wurth, for he is thoroughly versed in the practical details of building, and material and workmanship passing his supervision will prove satisfactory in every respect. Among the buildings

which he has built are the large, extensive flats of Mr. F. J. Kastner, corner South Orange avenue and Camden street; large flats for Mr. Jean Tack, corner Waverly place and Somerset street; large brick, stone and iron building, corner Eaton place and Fourteenth street. East Orange, built on hotel plan for Mr. Wm. Hill, and his design for the new club house of the National Turn Verein has been accepted.

The above design has had a careful study, being drawn for a Classical City Hall and Court House building combined. I consider the classical architecture is more adapted to this class of build-

ing than any other ; even more so than the Romanesque, as commonly used. The Dome Tower, Col- umns, Pilasters, String Courses and Cornices, are the predominating features, and by a happy combination of all these, we arrives at one harmonious whole. The size of City Hall building being about 75 100 and Court House being very little smaller, allows ample room in both buildings. The interior has been carefully studied so as to have the principal offices on the first floor, and Common Council, Com- mittee Rooms and minor ofifices on second floor, allowing the entire third floor for the use of the Board of F^ducation and City Civil Engineers' rooms. The Court House is likewise in size and description, having the entire second floor open for Court Room purposes. The elevators to both buildings are situated in tr.e centre, being the most convenient place. The ventilation has been studied in every particular, so that a complete system of ventilation will be available in every square inch of buildings.

Harry Firth, Architect, opp. Brick Church Depot, E. Orange.

Every man is said to be the architect of his own fortunes, but if such be the fact, it must be confessed that there are many incompetent architects in the world, for the great majority of us find that the plan of our Hfe needs frequent revision, and that things which seemed easy and desirable in theory are impossible to carry out in practice. Many a man who started to build a house after his own ideas, has met with a similar experience, and, as a general thing, the better informed a person is on the subject of building, the more strongly he is in favor of the employment of a competent arcliitect, as opposed to the practice of placing the matter in the hands of a carpenter and builder, and allowing him to go ahead under general instructions only. We take pleasure in calling attention to the facilities offered by Mr, Harry Firth, for we are convinced that those who make use of his services, will have abundant reason to thank us for the hint here given. Mr. Firth, who is located opp. Brick Church depot, began the practice of his profession here in 1889. He has had a very thorough technical training, having enjoyed a practical experience in steam heating, engineering and plumbing, to complete liis architectural training, which he wished to have as thorough as possible, in every detail pert.iining to the constructing, heating and ventilating of buildings, and has thus far been very successful in adapting means to ends, showing talent and in- genuity, as well as wide knowledge of available materials and devices. Plans and specifications will be prepared at very short notice, and personal supervision will be given to building operations, thus insuring that materials and workmanship are fully in accord with specifications. A residence after the above style can be erected for $8,000 to $10,000, according to finish. \'iE\v ON Passaic River at Belleville.

BELLEVILLE.

The township of Belleville is the most northerly of the suburbs of Newark, It is beautifully situated on the west bank of the Passaic river, and having for its southern boundary Second river, a stream which has an average width of forty feet. Second river is the dividing line that separates the township from Newark. The history of Belleville dates back to a time anterior to the Revolution. The place was once a part of Newark, but in 1812 Bloomfield was set off from Newark as a separate township and Belleville was included within its limits. Belleville was not created a separate township until several years later. Within the last two or three years new streets have been laid out, old streets paved and other improvements made. A number of houses are supplied with water by the Newark Aqueduct Board, whose pipes run through the town and whose [jumping station is on the bank of the Passaic within its limits. There are also a number of hy- drants erected for fire purposes. The town has a volunteer fire department, which consists of hose companies and hook and ladder companies. The affairs of the township are managed by a township committee elected annually by the people. There are a number of ancient houses within the limits of the township; the majority of them are situated on Main street, which is the principal thoroughfare o' the township. Among the old families of Belleville whose descendants are still" residing in old family mansions, or on property which was part of the old family homestead, may be mentioned the Spears, Van Ripers, Van Rensselears, Dows, Sandfords, and others. The Spears were among the earliest settlers of the place, and the name was originally spelled Speir. The Speir tract covered the heart of what is now Belleville. The Sand ford family is also an old and influential one. Justice Theodore Sandford is now the oldest representative of that fnmilv, and is ronsiderabh' over cightv vears of age The venerable 1 66 BELLEVILLE AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST

gentleman has been a Justice of the Peace for a great many years,

and is the oldest magistrate in Essex County. He has always been prominent in public affairs,

and is universally esteemed and respected. The Van Rensselaer family are descendants of the old patroon stock and are descended also from the Van Cortlandts of

New York. The family is now represented by James Van Rens- selaer, who resides not far from the old family mansion, which has now passed into other hands, and

is now a hotel. One of the early ancestors of the Van Ripers was a blacksmith and wagon maker, who had his shop on the River road, a

little south of where Christ Church now stands. When the British visited the place during the Revolution, Van Riper melted all the work in his place into slugs to be fired at the Red Coats. When these slugs were exhausted he freely gave his tools to be used in place of ball. When the British officer commanding the troops saw the kind of missiles being used against him he cried out to his men, "For God's sake get out of here before they fire the anvil at us."

Belleville is connected with the opposite bank of the Passaic river by a substantial iron bridge. The first bridge across the stream there was built by a stock company in 1790. This company also constructed a turnpike road to Jersey

City. In 1 84 1 the bridge was carried away by a heavy freshet. Subsequently the bridge was purchased by Nicholas Joralemon. In 1851 he sold it to a stock company, who about 1S73 sold it to the Boards of Chosen Freeholders of the counties of Essex, Hudson and Bergen. It is now free to the public, and is known as the Belleville Free Bridge. In 1879 the old wooden bridge was removed and the present substantial and handsome iron structure resting on piers of massive stone work was built at the joint expense of the three counties. Belleville has five churches The oldest of these is the Reformed (formerly Reformed Dutch).

It is impossible to fix the exact date of the organization of this church, but records are extant dating bick to 1720; The jjresent church edifice LEADING BUSINESS MEN OF BELLEVILLE 167 was built in 1852 and dedicated in 1853. From this church came the originators of the First Reformed Church of Newark, and the Reformed Church of Belleville is the mother church of the Classis of Newark. Christ Episcopal Church dates its history back to 1746 when a charter was granted by George II, King of England, for this church, as a part of Trinity Church Newark, the charter of Trinity Church requiring that one warden and five vestrymen be chosen from the section north of the Second river, which is now Belleville. For several years the congregation wor- shiped in an old store house. In 181 1 the first step was taken towards a separation from Trinity Church. Newark, but the formal separation did not occur until 1835, when Christ Church, Belleville, was made a separate parish. The Catholic Church dates its history back to 1838. The other churches are of more recent date. Belleville has several large manufacturing establishments within its limits. Among them may be mentioned the Hendrick's Rolling Mill, where copper is rolled in sheets and where wire, rivets and bolts are made. The mills were established about seventy-five years ago, and have been in active operation ever since. Another large establishment is that of the Fourdrinier Wire Works. This was established in 1877 by John H. Eastwood, William Buchanan and Charles Smith, under the name of Eastwood, Buchanan & Smith, the business being the manufacture of Fourdrinier wire cloth and all kinds of fine iron, copper and brass wire. In 1880 the concern was converted into a stock company, of which John East-

wood is president. The dye and acid factory of John Eastwood, which is near by, is also one of the important industries of Belleville. One of the largest establishments in the place is that of the DeWitt Wire CI th Co., whose works are located on the Second river near the southern boundary of the township. The works of this company occupy a series of buildings and give employment to a large number of hands. The goods of this company are sold all over the Union as well as in foreign countries, and have a high reputation.

The town of Harrison is situated on the western border of Hudson County, on the east bank of the

Passaic river, and though a separate municipality and in another county, is to all intents and purposes a suburb of Newark; indeed, for many years Harrison was known as East Newark and this name still clings to it. More people to-day know the place as East Newark, than Harrison. The place was, formerly, known as Petersborough, up to 1815, when it was known as Lodi. In 1840 the name was changed to East New- ark and then to Harrison. In 1870 the town was incorporated with a common council instead of a town committee. The town now has a small but efficient police force, a good fire department and an excellent system of public schools. Harrison derives its chief importance from the fact that several large manufacturing establishments are located there, many of them being owned or largely controlled by Newarkers who have chosen this town as the site for their factories, for the reason that land is much cheaper and taxes lower than in Newark.

The situation of Harrison is an exceedingly favorable one for manufacturing industries, as it has an

extensive water front along the Passaic, is reached by two of the leading railroads that pass through Newark, the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western and the Pennsylvania. The new branch of the latter road and the new line of the Lehigh Valley Railroad will also pass through this town. Both the Pennsylvania and Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroads have extensive freight yards in this town, and a very large proportion of Newark's freight business is done here. The town is growing rapidly and the indications are that at no distant day this will be a great manufacturing center. Entering the town by way of the Newark Free Bridge, which is the great thoroughfare of traffic between Newark and Harrison, the visitor strikes Harrison avenue, the principal street of the place, which is a broad and well paved avenue, through which runs a line of horse cars connecting with the City of Newark. This avenue is build up solidly with stores and residences for a distance of a mile and half, while even beyond this there are many beautiful villa sites. The lateral streets which cross Harrison avenue at right angles are also built up with neat and comfortable dwellings. The factories of the town are chiefly confined to the river front, though there are several large establishments well out upon the meadows. Near the Newark Free Bridge on the river front are several large stone cutting works, the chief of these being that of J- J- Spurr & Sons. In this yard some of the finest work of the country has been done, not only for large structures in New V'ork, but for the homes of two millionaires on the Pacific coast, .\nother large manufacturing estab-

lishment is that of J. Lagowitz & Co., trunk and bag makers, which is situated on the river front near the Center street bridge of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and fronts on Harrison avenue. It is one of the largest factories in the place, and comprises an extensive system of brick buildings equipped with valu-

able and costly machinery. The plant is worth about $250,000. The factory gives employment to about five or six hundred people, and all the trimmings, frames, and, in fact, everything used in the manu-

facture of trunks and bags is made on the premises. Another large factory on the banks of the Passaic

is that of Stannier & Laffey, manufacturers of brass and copper wire and wire cloth. The factory is one of the best known of its kind in the country and does a very large business. The Edison Lamp Co. occupy an extensive series of buildings on Third street. These buildings were formerly owned and occupied by the Peters' Manufacturing Co as an oil cloth factory, but the Company met with several disastrous fires, which destroyed portions of their works, after which they abandoned their plant in Harrison and sold the property to the Edison Lamp Co., who have greatly improved the property nnd made many additions to the buildings. The manufacture of arc and incandescent lamps on Edison's

[latents is carried on here on a large scale.

.\nother important industrial estalilishment is that of Stewart Hartshorn, manufacturer of >ha(lc rollers. The factory has been in operation since 1870, gives employment to several hundred persons and turns out several hundred dozen shade rollers every day. Its products are knoAvn all over the United States.

The brewery of Peter Hauck & Co. is situated on Harrison avenue, between Fifth and Washing-

ion streets. It occupies a number of massive brick buildings, the main one fronting on Harrison avenuei being a very handsome structure architecturally. Its lofty turrets can be seen in all directions for miles. —

LEADING BUSINESS MEN OF HARRISON. 171 and makes the brewery one of the landmarks of the town. Adjoining the brewery is the elegant residence of Mr. Hauck, which is the handsomest house in the place. Nearly opposite the brewery is the Davis Memorial Methodist Church, an imposing brick structure. Some distance farther west on Har-

rison avenue, is the superb edifice of the Catholic Church of the Holy Cross, one of the most massive and beautiful ecclesiastical edifices in New Jersey. Another church which is worthy of mention is St- Pius' Catholic Church on the corner of Jersey and Third streets, which for many years was the only

Catholic church in the place. Christ Church on Fourth street, which is a pretty little Gothic frame structure, is the church home of the Episcopalians of the town, and is really a mission of Trinity Church,

Newark. It is in charge of the Rev. Dr. Potter. The Presbyterian Church also has a flourishing congregation in this town. Harrison has also excellent public schools, as well as a fine parochial school at

tached to the Church of the Holy Cross. There is a flourishing German-English school on Hebden street.

Choice Meats & Provisions

No. 41 1 FOURTH STREET,

Cor. Latham, Harrison, N. J.

The name of the above concern has been identified with the history of Harrison for the past

thirty-two years : and iMr. Patrick Riordan, its founder, must have seen the town in its comparative

infancy, for we believe the houses were then a little more scattered than they are now. Certain it is,

however, that Harrison has changed much since those days, and that it was never in a better way to pros-

per than at present, for a perceptible "boom" in building and business is now being enacted. Mr.

Riordan is a native of Ireland, and came to this country in 1847. He was engaged in business in Mil- waukee, Wis., for three years, and in Chicago two years. The greater portion of his business career has been in Harrison, however, and we deem it a pleasure to chronicle the success which has attended this

gentleman's efforts in this, his adopted land. Mr. Riordan is a self-made man. What he has got he worked hard and perseveringly for. The men who have started with nothing and havesucceded in accumu- lating a comfortable bunch of the "wherewithal'' necessary to successfully paddle through this life in ease, can be numbered. This shows that the results attained by Mr. Riordan are the fruits of his past, and even present, able business management. He began his meat business on a very small scale, but it now is one of the largest markets in Harrison, Kearny or Newark. About twelve cattle are weekly con-

sumed, and four wagons are on the go night and day. Ten clerks are employed, and every one is served courteously and promptly. Mr. Riordan admitted his sons, David and Joseph, into partnership with him in 1SS4. Mr. David Riordan is a native of Milwaukee, and his brother Joseph w.is born in Harrison.

These brothers seem to have inherited the "pash" which h is characterized their father, for they are business men of ability, and though yet comparatively young men, they are heavy real estate owners in this town. Mr. Joseph Riordan's residence, on Fifth street, and David Riordan's, on the corner of Third and Cross streets, are prominently fine looking dwellings in this section. Their meat market is elaborately fitted up with the costliest fixtures and a splendid ice box. The meat and vegetables handled are

Ai in quality. This fact is what has built up the establishment to the good reputation it now enjoys. We advise all who do not already do so, to patronize this establishment. Economy is practiced by so doing, as the house buys in such large quantities that it can afford to sell much cheaper than smaller concerns. Mr. Patrick Riordan was .(Mderman one term twelve years ago, and '' Town Committeman" twenty-two years ago. He is a man who has traveled extensively, and recently returned from a three-months' trip to the ''Old Country." We earnesly hope the success the father has attained will, in years to come, be doubly honored by his sons, for just such enterprising business men are needed to make of Harrison the important business centre it is destined to become. lyS LEADING BUSINESS MEN OF HARRISON.

KEARNY.

Kearny township, which is another suburb of Newark, is in Hudson County, and is situated on the east bank of the Passaic river, just north of Harrison. It was included in Harrison in 1867, when it was made a separate township, and named Kearny in honor of Major Gineral Philip Kearny, who was killed in the battle of Chantiily, Va., September ist, 1862. General Kearny's home was in this town-

ship for many years. His homstead property is now in the possession of his son, General John Watts Kearny. It occupies a commanding hill some distance back from the river and in appearance reseinbles

an ancient castle. It is a landmark for miles around. Kearny is fast becoining a manufacturing town of considerable importance. The Clark (O. N. T.) Thread Works have a very large series of buildings

there, exceeding in size and extent their Newark plant, of which it is a part. These works give employ-

ment to over three thousand hands. At these works is the tallest factory chimney in the United States,

and one of the four tallest in the world. It is three hundred and thirty feet high, is fourteen feet wide

at the base and seven feet wide at the top. It required over a million bricks to construct it, and for

weeks after its completion was visited by thousands of people. The Clark Thread Co. is an offshoot of the Anchor Mills at Paisley, Scotland, where the Clarks have an enormous establishment. The Kearny works were built in 1875 and have several times since been added to. A little south of the Clark Thread Works on the river front is another vast series of brick buildings. These constitute the works of the Clark Mile End Thread Co., who also employ several thousand hands and do a very large business. A short distance to the north of the Clark (O. N. T.) Thread Works are the works of the Marshall Linen Thread Co. This Company has also a large system of buildings, and in addition to making linen thread are now engaged in spinning flax and manufacturing

a number of articles from it, such as towels, napkins and other articles for household use. Indeed, it was largely owing to the efforts of this Company and the fact that they were able to demonstrate before a committee Congress that flax could be spun.bleached and woven in this country as well as in the European manu- LEADING BUSINESS MEN OF KEARNY. 179 factories that Congress was induced to put a higher tariff on flax and linen goods. Still farther north on the river bank are the Nairn Linoleum Works, which also have a number of massive brick buildings and employ several hundred hands. The plant of this company is a very valuable one as it contains many large, intricate and expensive machines. This company came to Kearny a few years ago from Scotland and were induced to come here by the fact that, owing to the high tariff on imported goods of this kind, the company found it much cheaper to come to America and make their goods here. Another point of interest in Kearny is the New Jersey Soldiers' Home, an institution supported by the State of New Jersey, for the care of sick and disabled soldiers—veterans of the late war. The main building was formerly the home of a Mr. Knapp, a wealthy New York merchant, who moved to California several years ago. The house was finished in the most elaborate style of luxury and architectural beauty in the interior, and was regarded for many years as the handsomest house in this part of New Jersey. It was purchased by the trustees of the New Jersey Home for Soldiers, some four or five years ago, after which the State expended large sums of money in altering the Knapp house, erecting additional buildings and laying out the grounds. This Home is regarded as one of the best soldiers' homes in the country. It was originally established on Seventh avenue, Newark, where it occupied a series of frame

buildings, which were little more than barracks. The home is in charge of Major Peter F. Roger, who

has been the Superintendent for many years, and is himself a veteran of the late war. It is under the control of a Board of Trustees, appointed by the Governor and Legislature, and is maintained by an ap- propriation made by the Legislature each year. Not far from the Soldiers' Home is the Roman Catholic Protectory for boys, which is a large and flf^urishing institution, and is doing an excellent work in reforming unruly boys.
