The Historic Public Improvements of (he Gounty. Brief Sketches of the Conception and Building of Toll High Ways, Railroads and Canals in Centre County. THE BELLEFONTE AND SNOW SHOE RAIL- ROAD. The original owners of this road were mostly Philadelphians, nearly all of whom were Quakers, or Friends. The company was organized in 1857, immediately after which the construction of the road was com- menced. The line extends from Belle- fonte to Snow Shoe, a distance of twenty- six miles, where the company owned forty- six thousand acres of valuable timber. and coal lands, purchased of J: Gratz, of Phil: adelphia. The road was completed in 1859, at a cost of eight thousand two hundred and fifty-nine dollars and some cents per mile, all of which was paid as the work proceeded, leaving the company free from debt, when the first train passed over the track. This road was the first, and until 1864, the only one in operation in Centre county. About the time the road was completed the Snow Shoe Land Association, composed of members of the railroad company, was organized, and purchased the entire tract of forty-six thousand acres held by the lat- ter company, and subsequently re-sold to that corporation three thousand acres, which include the tract on which the town and mines are located. ° After leaving Milesburg the road runs up the Bald Eagle valley with an average rise of about twenty feet to the mile, as far as the Intersection. Leaving the valley at this point the ascending grade is sixty feet per mile, until the base of the Allegheny mountain is reached, the ascent of which is made by what is called the ‘switch-back’" system, an elevation of eight hundred: and sixty feet being acquired in an actual dis- tance of about four miles. Owing to the zigzag course necessarily followed by the road in climbing the mountain, it has a length of track three miles more than the air-line distance. In other words, the road runs seven miles to gain four, at an aver- age grade of one hundred and twenty feet per mile. Snow Shoe is eight hundred and eighty-six feet higher than Milesburg, and fifteen hundred and sixty-five above the level of the sea. 3 ? Underlying a large portion of the Snow Shoe lands are several workable veins of the best quality of bituminous coal, ag- gregating a thickness of not less than twen- ty-five feet. Coal, it issaid, was first min- ed on these lands as early as 1812, when it had to be hauled over rough roads in wagons. In 1877 the company worked three different mines, with a force of about sixty men; generally about one hundred were employed. If the demand required it there could be produced from these mines seven hundred and fifty tons daily. The lands connected with the road not only contained extensive deposits of coal and iron ore, but a large extent of the surface was covered with valuable timber, and the manufacture of lumber has been conducted more or less extensively on the property ever since the road was built; in addition to which a large quantity of charcoal is burned each year, not less than ten thou- sand cords of wood being consumed every season for that purpose. Aside from their lands and railroad the property of the company consisted of about one hundred buildings at Snow Shoe, in- cluding a hotel, capable of accom- modating seventy-five or eighty guests; and about sixty miners’ houses, five locomo- tives and a hundred cars; also a round- house and repair shops at Bellefonte. The officers of the road in '77 were: Richard H. Downing, President; Wistar Morris, Jacob P. Jones, William Helme, of Philadelphia, and Robert Valentine, of Bellefonte, Directors; General Superinten- dent and Treasurer, Daniel Rhoads, of Armory Co. B. 5th, Reg, N. G. P. in which the Visiting Soldiers are Being En- tertained. Bellefonte; Chief Engineer, James L. Som- merville, also of Bellefonte. The scenery along the route is truly picturesque; for a few miles, evidences of civili- zation and progress meet the eye on either side, then the traveller is ushered into and along a valley that grows wilder and more picturesque the further it is penetrated. As the mountain is being ascended new scenes of grandeur and beauty appear. THE BALD EAGLE VALLEY RAILROAD, In 1838 W. E. Morris, C. E., made a sur- vey for a railroad up the valley of the Bald Eagle ‘‘to demonstrate the practicability of passing the summit of the Allegheny monntain at Emeigh’s Gap, in Centre county, at a maximum grade of forty-five feet per mile, and forming an important link in the great chain of railroad com- munication between Philadelphia and Pittsburg, with moderate grades and with- out inclined planes.” Owing to the de- pressed financial condition of the country at that time, the project was abandoned. ‘In 1853 a charter was granted to a num- ber of gentlemen to build a railroad from the Sunbury and Erie (now Philadelphia and Erie) at Lock Haven to the Pennsyl- vania railroad at Tyrone; and at an early day a survey was made, which determined a route free from impediments, and chal- lenging an equal in Pennsylvania for cheap- nese, and facility of construction of a first- class road.” 8 ‘‘In the fall of 1853 an effort was made to secure a subscription to its capital stock sufficient to warrant its commencement. An offer was made ‘that if three hundred and fifty thousand dollars were subscribed by: the citizens of Clinton,Centre and Blair counties, the balance required to complete the road would be furnished from abroad.’ The sum of two hundred and eighty thou- ‘gand dollars was promptly subscribed, and the remainder was not obtained, mainly for the want of effort on the part of the committee appointed for that purpcse, and the project was permitted to languish for ‘the want of official direction.” : ‘In the fall of 1856 the friends of the ‘enterprise concluded to divide the road in- to two divisions; the eastern division ex- tending from Lock Haven to Milesburg, and the western division extending from Milesburg to Tyrone.” ‘ At a meeting of the directors held Jan- uary 12th, 1857, it was found that the pro- «visions of the original act of incorporation ‘‘were ‘wanting in that libeiality of effi- ciency that should characterize our rail- road-making system.’’ Accordingly a new charter was applied for, and obtained on the 21st of February, 1857, and a new com- pany organized April 13th, 1857, consist- ing of the following gentlemen: James Irvin, Wm. A. Thomas, Edward C. Humes, James Burnside, John T. Hoover, Eimund Blanchard, Samuel Linn, H. N. MecAllis- ter, William Underwood, Jobn Adams, John Thompson and T. M. Hall, of Centre county, L. A. Mackey, J. S. Furst and ‘Samuel McCormick, of Clinton county, and J. T. Mathias, of Blair county. The capital stock of the company con- sisted of ten thousand shares of fifty dol- lars each, with the privilege of increasing to twenty thousand shares. : Work on the road progressed slowly for various reasons, tiil 1864, when it was completed. This road is now maintained and operated by the Pennsylvania railroad company, under a lease for ninety-nine years, dated December 7th, 1864. The Tyroue and Clearfield railroad passes across the southwestern portion of the coun- ty. It was completed as far as Philipsburg in the fall of 1863, and afforded, for that place, a much needed outlet. The ad- vantages of the county, derived from this road, are confined principally to that part lying upon the western slope of the Alle- gheny mountain; Philipsburg and vicinity’ being especially benefited by its construc- tion. Powelton and Sandy Ridge are quite important stations south of Philipsburg. The former is a shipping point for coal mined in the neighborhood. At Sandy’ Ridge there is an extensive fire-brick manufactory, the productions of which find their way to various markets over this road. 3 ‘The Susquehanna river and North and West Branch Telegraph Company was in- corporated on the 9th day of April, 1849, for the purpose of constructing a telegraph line ‘“‘from the point where the Susque- hanna river intersects the boundary line between the States of Pennsylvania and Maryland’’ and extend up the north. and west branches of that river, with hranch lines, &c., one of which terminated at Bellefonte; and continued in use till the completion of the Bald Eagle Valley rail- road, when it was abandoned. James Burnside, James Irvin and John P. Packer were members of the corporation for Centre county. LEWISBURG, CENTRE AND SPRUCE CREEK RAILROAD. This road was first projected about the year 1850, and preliminary measures tak- en to secure its construction by the follow- ing gentlemen : David Duncan and Peter Wilson, of Spring Mills; George Boal, of Boalshurg; Samuel McWilliams and W. C. Duncan, of Millheim; Dr. Charles Coburn, of Aaronsburg; Col. Paxton, of Catawissa; Hon. John Walls, Hon. Eli Sliferand Hon. George F. Miller, of Lewisburg; Dr. Samuel Strohecker, of Rebersburg; Moses Thomp- son, of Lemont; Judge Lewis, of Philadel- phia; Hon. Samuel Calvin, of Hollidays- burg, and others. In 1854 the subscriptions to stock amounted to about two hundred thousand dollars, and a charter was then obtained; but by a resolution of the hoard of direc- tors the undertaking was, for a time, abandoned because of the difficulty, if not the impossibility, of raising the required amount of money. In 1868 the charter of this company was transferred to the At- lantic and Great Western railway company, but little or nothing was done by that cor- poration toward building the road, and the charter was returned to the original com- pany, and afterward transferred to the Pennsylvania railroad company, soon after which the branch from Montandon to Lewisburg was constructed. Subsequent- ly, the road was extended to Mifflinburg, Union county, and then, through a com- mittee consisting of George F. Miller, of Lewisburg, Wm. Philips, of Pittsburg, and James P. Coburn, Esq., of Aaronshurg, the bonds of this company, amounting to $2,000,000, were negotiated with Mr. Thompson, president of the Pennsylvania railroad company, for its construction, -which completed the. road to Spring Mills, Centre county, in July, 1877. Later it was built on to its terminus near Lemont and there made connection with the B. N. and L., running to Bellefonte and bringing the rich agricultural regions of Penns Valley in daily touch with the county seat. » TURNPIKES, ETC. At an early period in the history of Cen- tre county ‘‘turnpikes’’ or ‘‘artificial roads’? were constructed for the benefit of the traveling public. In many instances the labor required in opening these thorough- fares wae very great. Sometimes they passed through heavily timbered tracts, and often it became necessary, in their con- struction, to remove large hodies of earth and rock, and bridge streams of consider- able size. It should be borne in mind that similar undertakings at the present day can be much more easily and cheaply ac- complished than in former times, owing to the superior facilities now obtainable. In 1810 the Buffalo and Penn’s valley turnpike company was incorporated, and constructed a turnpike from Sunbury, Northumberland county, to Aaronsburg, Centre county. I ll I On the 29th of March, 1819, five com- panies were incorporated—one authorized to huild an ‘‘artificial road’”’ from Norgh- umberland, Northumberland county, to Youngmanstown (now Mifflinburg, Union county); and one, consisting of the follow- ing persons, to build a road from Young- manstown to Aaronsburg, Centre county : George Latimer of Philadelphia, William Whitman, of Berks county; John Dries- baugh, John Wilson and Henry Roush, of Union county, and James Duncan, of Cen- tre; another, with the following gentlemen as incorporators, to construct a road from Aarousburg to Bellefonte : Richard Wis- tar, of Philadelphia; J. K. Boyer, of Berks county, Michael Bolinger, John Keen, Williarh Irwin, John Furey and John Mitchell, of Centre county; and another, to extend the road to Philipsburg : Simon Gratz, of Philadelphia; Thos. Burnside, J. M. Fox, Joseph Miles, Roland Curtin,John Rankin and James Forster, composing the company; and still another, to complete the line to the Susquehanna river, in Clear- field county : Hardman Phillips, John Loraine, William Bagshaw and Jacob Test represented Centre county in this company. I fi I The Centre and Kishacoquillas turnpike company was incorporated in 1820. Gen. Philip Benner was the first president, and the following named gentlemen constituted the first board of managers: John Furey, Jacob Valentine, William W. Potter, Dr. William I. Wilson, W. H. Patter- James Patton, Wm. Brown, Jr., John Johnson, Robert W. Jacobs, James Criswell, E. B. Patterson, and John Norris treasurer. This thoroughfare was for many years a most important one, hut since rail- roads have become so numerous through- out the country turnpikes have been used less than formerly, this being no exception | It originally extended from | to the rule. Bellefonte to Reedsville, Mifflin county, a distance of about twenty-five miles, but in 1871 that portion between Milroy and the “southern terminus was abandoned, which left: about twenty-one under the control, of the corporation in 1877. About a year ago that. portion reach- ing from Centre Hall borough to the Mifilin county line was abandoned and now all that remains is the 8 miles from Bellefonte to Centre Hall. I It i Tn 1825 or 6 a company was organized to build a turnpike from Potter’s Old Fort to the Juniata turnpike,and April 10th, 1828, the Snow Shoe and Packerville turnpike company was granted authority by the Legislature to build a turnpike from Snow Shoe, Centre county, to Packerville, Clear-: field county. : ! Fo I March 30th, 1832, the Bald, Eagle, Nit- tany and Bellefonte turnpike road company was incorporated, the charter being granted to the following persons: W. W. Huston, George Bressler, James Brown, Isaac Mec- Kinney, Thomas Burnside, S. H. Wilson, Robert Tate, William Caruer and John Rankin. The road was commenced at Mill Hall, (now in Clinton county,) and passing through Fishing creek gap, up Nit- tany valley, terminated at Bellefonte. On the same date an act was passed incor- porating the Bald Eagle and Nittany val- ley turnpike and railroad company, with the following commissioners authorized to open books for subscriptions, &e.: Wm. Smyth, Isaac McKinney, W. A. Thomas, Joseph Harris and Joseph Montgomery. This corporation was empowered ‘‘to con- struct a turnpike or railroad from a point on the Great Island road between James Hutchinson’s and Black Horse tavern.’’ ll On the 14th of April, 1834, the Bald Eagle, Nittany and Brush valley turnpike road company was incorporated for the purpose of building a turnpike. from ‘the Bald Eagle bridge through Nittany valley to the Brush valley road in Miles town- ship. John Shaffer, Philip Reitzel, Samuel McKee, Philip Walker, William Devling, John Henderson, James Brown, S. H. Wil- son, Daniel Hackenburg and Philip Krebs constituted the company. The North Ward School House, Where the Interesting Historical Relic Exhibition is Being made by Bellefonte Chapter Daugh- ters of the American Revolution. The Bald Eagle and Clearfield turnpike road company was organized June 25th, 1837, to build a road from the mouth of Beech creek to connect with the Snow Shoe and Packerville turnpike, in Clearfield county. ‘Thomas Burnside and John Mitchell were the members of the company from Bellefonte. ll ll I April 23rd, 1844, the Old Fort and Spruce Creek turnpike road company was chartered. This road connected Potter’s Old Fort, via. Boalsburg, with the ‘‘town of Water Street,”” in Huntingdon county. Among the incorporators were: Patton Lyon, Geo. Boal, John Irvine, Jr., James Potter and O. P. Duncan. In 1861 a company was organized to con- struct a turnpike from Beilefonte to near Washington furnace, in Clinton county. The following are the gentlemen to whom the charter was granted : Thomas Huston, A. Carner, Henry McEwen, Geo. Swartz, James Gordon, John J. Gregg, Thomas McKean, Jacob Struble, E. C. Humes, H. N. McAllister, Jacob V. Thomas, E. Blanchard and A. L. Valentine. I I I On the 14th of April, 1834, the Bald Eagle and Spring Creek navigation com- pany was incorporated, with authority to construct a canal from the state works at Lock Haven to Bellefonte, a distance of twenty-five miles. This work was com- pleted in 1846, at a cost of a little more than $11,500 per mile. It had twenty-two lift locks, six gnard locks and ten dams. The company was composed of the follow- ing members: Roland Curtin, Thomas Burnside, Bond Valentine, James Irvin, William W. Potter, Joseph Harris, Joseph Miles, John Rankin and Andrew Gregg, Jr., of Centre county, and Richard Peters and Jacob Lex, of Philadelphia. The opening of this canal was an im- portant event in the history of Bellefonte and the Bald Eagle valley, affording, as it did, a greatly desired means of transporta- tion for the products of the forest and farm, as well as those of the furnace and forge. After the completion of the Bald Eagle valley railroad the western portion of the canal was abandoned, having been render- ed unnavigable by the extraordinary freshet of 1865. I I I ‘In 1849 a plank road was located from the canal at Milesburg to the Pennsyl- vania railrcad at Tyrone, thirty-one miles in length. At Unionville, six miles west of Mileshurg, it was made to connect with the Bellefonte and Philipsburg turnpike. From this point to Tyrone, a distance of twenty-five miles, the plank road was opened in 1852. Through a part of the val- ley, prior to this, there was no road at all, and a masterly inactivity characterized the inhabitants of the whole district. Tyrone city contained three dwellings, and of the few little towns in the valley assented to the description of the Deserted Village. The freight and travel that arrived at Bald Eagle Furnace, from Clearfield and the ad- joining’ counties, was carried over the mountains to Spruce Creek, twelve miles distant. No sooner was the plank road opened than the business of the county in- creased at an unprecedented rate. Farms miles were opened up, mills were erected, fur- naces put in operation, roads constructed, and trade and travel sought this route.” All of the early day improvements have either been abandoned or are in a state of dilapidated as compared with their pristine glory, except the pikes lead - ing from Bellefonte to Centre Hall, to Boalsburg and State College and a few short branches in the lower end of Penns and Brush Valley. = Told By the Eyes. Blue eyes are said to be the weakest. Upturned eyes are typical of devo- tion. : -Wide-open eves are indicative of rash- ness. Side-glancing eyesare said by occulists to be the strongest. § : ; ..Small eyes are supposed to indicate cun- ning. 2 -The downcast eye has in all ages been typical of modesty. The proper distance between the eyes is the width of one eye. People of melancholic temperament rare- ly have clear blue eyes. Eyes with long, sharp corners, indicate great discernment and penetration. The white of the eye showing beneath the iris is indicative of nobility of charac- ter. : Gray eyes turning green in anger or ex- citement are indicative of a choleric tem- perament. When the upper lid covers half or more of the pupil the indication is of cool delib- eration. : ¥ ‘An eye the upper lid of which passes horizontally across the pupil indicates men- tal ability. Unsteady eyes, rapidly jerking from side to side, are frequently indicative of an un- settled mind. . It is said that the prevailing colors of eyes among the patients of lunatic asylums are brown and black. Eyes of any color-with. weak brows and long, concave lashes are indicative of a weak constitution. : Eyes that are wide apart aresaid by phys- iognomists to indicate great intelligence and a tenacious memory. Eyes of which the whole iris is visible belong to erratic persons, often with a ten- dency towards insanity. Wide open, staring eyes in weak coun- tenances indicate jealousy, bigotry, intol- erance and. pertinacity, without firmness. WAS 1T A MIRACLE.—‘The marvelous cure of Mrs. Rena J.
