Early next week the Monongahela Val ley Directory will be issued from this city. Advance sheets are in possession of The Dispatch correspondent, from which the following synopsis of historical events and comments is called: From an historical standpoint the Monon gahela Valley is fraught with the most pro found interest, lions before the ripple of the quiet waters was disturbed by the canoe of the Red ilea, when the forest upon her rock-ribbed hills first echoed to the roar of the storm kin?, nature had poured into her lap exhaustless resources. Little more than a century has passed since the development ACE DRY SGROWTH of this valley began, and to describe its growth is to tell the development of the na tion's industries. IJT DAYS OF YOKE. Through this highway marched the ad vance columns of emigrants who laid the foundation of the great "Western States. "Where luiw stands the metropolis of the valley England and France strove to hold the empire. Art and architectural beauty mark the spot where, on the 17th of April, 1754, began the memorable war whose oper ations extended over continental Europe, Asia, Africa and America, and spread de vastation, terror and death for eight entire Tear. Prior to this war attempts at settlement had been constantly interfered with by the ' Indians, but now the hunting grounds of the Iroquois, the Shawnces and Delawares were supplanted by fields of pasture and waving graicv Fort Burd now Brownsville and Fort. Pitt became the strongholds of tlia early settlers. From these two points began the growth and development of perhaps the richest valley in the world. The Mononga hela river and its tributaries trace a mineral field unsurpassed in quality and extent. When the eminent geologist, Sir Charles Lyall, investigated tliis field, he said: "I was truly astonished at beholding the rich ness of the seams or coal which appeared everywhere on the flanks of the hills, and at the bottom of the valleys, and which are ac cessible in a degree I have never witnessed elsewhere." WHEif COAL WAS USED. The use of this cnal by the inhabitants is noted as early as 1784, but the first ship ments of which we have knowledge were made bv a corapanv of French merchants in 1803. "Within the "80 years following this date it has been estimated that the shipments anrt consumption of coal h-tve amounted to 2,09G,8G5.011 bushels, 108,487,800 bushels of which were removed in the year 18S3. With a contiguous area of 2,500 square miles it can be truly said that the product of this field has scarcely been touched. By act of Pennsylvania Assembly, in 1782, the Monongahela river was "declared a public highway within the limits of the State, so far as it bad ben or might be made navi gable for rafts, boats or cinoes." In 1814 a commission was appointed by act of Assembly to inquire into and report upon the advisability ot creating dams and lo'cks. In 1832 an effort was made in Congress to have the work done by the National Gov ernment as an extension of the navigation of tne Ohio to connect with the national road at Brownsville. This project failed, but on the 13th of November, 1841, the "Mononirahela Im provement" was formally opened by the Navigation Company. From Cumberland, Md., where the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road had then reached, traffic was carried via the National pike for 7u miles to Brownsville, where it was trans'erred to packets. This route was crowded with passengers. This continued until 1852, when the Pennsylvania Company opened their road up the valley. The Navigation Company had already carried 800,000 pas sengers. In 1856 navigation was opened to Geneva, 32 miles further np the valley. THE CHASGES OF TIME. River navigation is now supplemented by railroads on both sides, and botn are loaded with freight and passengers, the river being insufficient to carry the trade. Other rail roads cross the highlands to the cast and west, and branch roads ascend the side valleys and ravines to the mines on the uplands. Morgantown, "W. Vs., a beautiful little city, is located on the right bank of the Monongahela, in Monongalia county, W. Va., of which it is the capital. The' town was incorporated in 1765, but the settlement dates at least a quarter ot a century earlier. The same gloomy record marks the early Eittlement and growth ot this locality that is common to the whole of Western Penn sylvania. A tew enercetic and adventur ous persons from the East push into new localities, amid the wilds of the forest; en counter the disturbed and enraged red man and perish. Meanwhile their tales of won der and the love of adventure attract others: larger numbers pursue the sime course; torts and blockhouses are built; Intelligent resistance is offered; modern civilization is planted and the men of the forest are doomed. THE riBST SETTLEMENT. The earliest settlement in this localitv was made by a party ot Dunkards, who firs't stopped at the mouth or the creek bearing that name, but afterward located on Cheat river, where they were ultimately killed by the Indians, with tie exception of Dr. Thomas Eekerly, the head of the company, who was absent at a trading post ou the Shenandoah. In 1758 Thomas Decker and some companions located at the mouth of the creek that now forms the southern boundary of the town. " The following spring, however, most of the inhabitants were killed bv a party of Indians from the Mingo and Delaware tribes. One ot Decker's party, who escaped, carried the news to Fort Burd, now Browns ville. The garrison here was too weak to de tach a pnrsuing party and the command ant, captain Paul, sent a messenger to Cap tain Gibson, commanding at Fort Pitt, who immediately dispatched a scout with 30 men to intercept the Indians, but their efforts were unavailing. Morsantown, since its incorporation in 1785, has been a thrivini village and is now a wealthy town of 3,600 population. Sit uated at the head of navigation, 105 miles lrom Pittsburg, and surrounded by im mense mineral wealth, its natural ad vantages cannot be overestimated. The streets are well laid out at right angles and planted with trees, presenting to the stran ger a picturesque and pleasing appearance. The social and moral characteristics of the citizens are above the usual standard, as tbey partake of the cnlture and education derived from the institutions of learning that are here located. Brownsville, Fayette county, Pa., is situ ated near ttie head of the fourth pool, X miles by water from Pittsburg. This Is the point where the national turnpike crosses the river. Here are located three separate boroughs, West Brownsville, Bridgeport and Brownsville, three distinct municipali ties, but really one community. Browns ville and Bridgeport are on the left bank of the river in Fayette county, a $50,000 bridge connecting them. IIAKY ROTABLE INCIDENTS. Brownsville, as the theater of many inci dents in the history of the Monongahela Val lev and the West, a well as from its early settlement, is a point of much historical in terest. Fort Burd was erected in 1759, by Colonel Boquet, then in command at Car lisle. Among the archives at Harrlsburg, in Colonel Burd's journal, is found the fol lowing record: "Ordered August, 1759, to march with 200 men of my battallion to the mouth of Bedstone creek," where it empties itself into the river Monongahela, to cut a road somewhere from General Braddock's road to that place, as I shall judce best, and on my arrival there to erect a fort" The fort erected by Colonel Burd contin ued long to be the favorite rendezvous for those men who kept watch upon the move ments ot the Indians inhabiting the head waters of the Ohio and its tributaries. In 1775 the town of Brownsville was laid out upon the site of the old fortification, and the place became one of much celebrity among the emigrants to Kentucky as a point of embarkation. This circumstance gave rise to h lively trade in the construction ot keel boats. Emigrants here embarked with their families and their entire stock of goods for the lone voyages down the Western river. In 1789 the wagon load of merchandise was brought over the mountains on the southern route, being nearly that now traversed by the national road. Browns ville atonce sprang into a place or greatim portance both in the manufacture of iron and boat building. The steamer Enter prise, the first boat that ascended the Mis sissippi and Ohio rivers from New Orleans to Pittsburg, was built at Brownsville, and her engines were made in the Brownsville shops. The building of the national road, which was completed to Brownsville about 1817, gave a ereat impetus to all the busi ness interests of that section. California, Pa., is a pleasantly locatedl village, seven uiues uciuw -uruwubviue, uu the left bank of the river coming down. It is in Washington county. The title to the land on which this town stands traces back to an Indian chief known in early days as "Indian Peter," who sold it to aMr.Voung, by whom the Indian title was trans erred to Robert Jackman, who in 1784 took out a patent for it under the laws of Pennsylva nia. From Mr. Jackman the title passed through various hands until it became vested" in Job Johnson, who associated with him five partners and laid out the present village, which was incorporated May 1, 1849. The first permanent settlement on this tract of land was made about 1778. The town is neatly iaibfout on a gently sloping plain and the broad streets, sbade'd by beautiful trees, run at riebt angles. The population of the place numbers about 2,000, and the buildings are principally brick. Cali ornia is noted for its normal schools, which, in many respects, excel similar institutions. Last year 642 students were enrolled. SOME SMALLER TOWS3. Coal Center, formerly called Greenfield, was laid out in 1819 by Robert Jackman. It was incorporated under the title of Green field in 1834. It is situated at the mouth of Pike run, on the left bank of the Monon gahela river 'in Washington county, 52 miles by river .Jroni Pittsburg. In its early days, the trade of the town consisted in Ehipping, by flat boat, produce to New Orleans and the Southwest. Fayette City is'a thriving town on the right bank of the Monongohela river, in Fayettee county, about 14 miles below Brownsville. The place was first settled in 1794, and was laid out by Colonel Edward Cook, an active participant in the whisky insurrection against the Government. The town, when first laid out, was called by Colonel Cook, Freeport, but its name was alterward changed to Cookstown. It is now incorporated under the title of Fayette Citv. Bellcvernon was laid out in 1813. It is situated on the right bank of the Monon gahela river, about 40 miles above Pitts burg. It contains about 2,000 inhabitants, and is a pljice of much business with the surrounding country. The town is beauti fully located, and is partly in Westmore land and Fayette counties. Bellevernon proper is the old town, and the most of tbe business U transacted in ber limits, and is located principally on the flat ground on the river bottom. The Magic City, Charleroi, a new and en ogetic town, incorporated in the autumn of 1889, occupies one of the most beautiful sites on the river. A long stretch of bottom land, upon which gigantic manufacturing estab lishments are being erected, gives promise ol a large city in the near future. Iots are selling rapidly, and building is going on constantly. A mammoth plate glass plant is locating here, as also a large shovel factory. Charleroi is in the immediate vicinity of one of the richest gas territories in the world. The future looks bright, and nearlv everybody has unbounded faith in the "Magic City." XS IMPOETAKT, PLACE. Monongahela City is situated on the left bank of the river. 30 miles from Pittsburg aud 75 miles lrom Morgantown. It is one of the most beautiful locations in this fertile and picturesque valley. From an histori-' cal standpoint it occupies an important place in the annals of the country. It was the chief rendezvous during tbe whisky in surrection of 1791-4. A meeting of 200 del egates held August 14, 1794, was presided over by Colonel Edward Cook, founder of Cookstown, now Fayette City. The Secre tary of the meeting was no less a personage than the celebrated Albert Gallatin, Secre tary of the Treasury under President Jefferson. Tbe town of Elizabeth, 23 miles above Pittsburg, on the right bank of the Monon gahela river, was laid out in 1787 by Colonel Stephen Bayard, and called Eliza betbtown, in honor of his wife, whose re mains repose in the burial ground within the borough limits. The first settlers of the township were William, Daniel, Rlckard and Samuel Applegate, four brothers, who settled on tbe east bank of the Monongahela river, between tbe mouth of Mingo creek and ;the Yougblogheny, previous to the Declaration ot Independence A 8HIP-HTJILDr.NO POIKT. The title of the land on which a part of the city now stands, was obtained by tbe is sue of patent No. 3783, under the .laws of Pennsylvania in 1769. In 1769 the title passed into the hands of Joseph Parkinson, who in that year laid out the town and gave it the name of Willlamsport. Previous to that date it was known as Parkinson's Ferry. The population in 1810 numbered about 500. In 1833 the town was incorpor ated as a borough under the name of Will lamsport. Since then tbe town has grown into a beautiful city and contains a popula tion of 4,000. ItJ the largest town on tbe Monongahela river, above the confluence of theYoughoigheny and occupies one of tbe most eligible situations in this magnificent valley ot incomparable wealth. Samuel Walker, Sr., an earlv settler, came to this town in October, 1785, having crossed the mountains in conrpany with the conveyance that brought the press of the Pittsburg Gazette. At a very early day this town was distinguished as a ship-building point. In 1800 tbe schooner Monongahela Farmer was built by John Walker for a company formed by the farmers of the vicinity, and freighted for a trip to New Orleans, and thence to New York. She sailed in 1801 and reached her destination in salety, under tbe supercarcoship of Mr. Walker. . Tbe cargo of the schooner consisted of 721 barrels of flour, a quantity of whisky, 4,000 deer skins and 2,000 bear skins. The original papers of the schooner are still in possession of Robert C, Walker. For many years Elizabeth had the largest boat-building establishment of any town on the Monongahela river. The thrift of the town is now very largely derived from the coal industry, which is particularly well repre sented in this part oi the valley.

BEATING A MAN AT HISOWN GAME. A Gambler Who Challenged the Wrong Party for Once in His Life. HE DIDN'T SHOOT QUITE QUICK ENOUGH Mr. James Scarborough, of Robinson township, yesterday received an invitation to join tbe Argonauts in their reunion in San Francisco. Mr. Scarborough was once a famous Nimrod in the Rockies. He, when a boy, fell in with Kit Carson, and, though averse to killing Indians, had no very warm side for them, as for many years they gave him muc,h trouble. Hunting, however, was a passion with him, and the woodcraft he then acquired has not deserted him yet and he can still trail game with almost the unerring instinct of a honnd. The advocates ot the cnlture of the "man ly art," claim that a knowledge of it tends to make its possessor peacelnl, on the ground that he can afford to despise the bravado of men whom he can "-do up" whenever he sees fit, just as the lordly St Bernard treats with good-natured contempt, the snarls and growls of the ill-tempered little curs ol low degree that snap at his heels'in the street, A CASE IN POIKT. If a man be of a magnanimous disposition the doctrine certainly holds good and a case in point is furnished by Mr. Scarborough. He once located a good claim in one of the California mining settlements and went to work to make the competence he now en joys. Mr. Scarborough's nerve and ability as a marksman gave him courage to hunt grizzlies, and be killed so many of them-that he became known as "Grizzly" among the miners. The necessity of prompt ly putting a bullet where it would do the most good soon gave Mr. Scarborough the ability to throw his rifle to his eye with ac curacy aad pull the trigger almost at the same 'instant. If he didn't, the grizzly would turn the tables and become the hunter. His ability with a Colt revolverwas ou a par with his performance with a rifle. One day he was passing a gamblers' roost, where toughs of all kinds congregated, and as it happened, was not "heeled." One of tbe gang, a quick and a dead shot, who had heard of Mr. Scarborough's skill, conceived the idea that it would not only be sport, but add to his renown, to kill "Grizzly" in a due, and to bring it about hurled a rock at him as he passed, tbe stone whistling past within a few inches of his head. POBCED TO FIGHT. Though irritated, be was forced to put up with the insult for the time, but expressed a decided opinion of tbe gambler, which gave the latter an excuse to challenge, and as Mr. Scarborough could not refuse to accept without rendering his condition unbearable, he chose a second, and there was a meeting. He was advised that the gambler would shoot before the fatal word was pronounced, and exhorted to act accordingly, which he did. As predicted, tbe gambler fired be fore tbe word was given, but Scarborough's pistol cracked first, and the ball from the gambler's revolver ploughed the earth and his arm fejl pow erlesss by his side. Scarborough had said he would "wing" his man, and true to promise he did, and the gambler was tpken off the ground with a broken shoulder. In order to prevent a repetition of the un pleasantness, Mr. Scarborough informed his opponent that if it must be repeated he would shoot to kill next time. He was never challenged to shoot again, and as his Herculean frame was known to be braced with steel nerves be was safe from other methods of attack, and was never again in sulted in that camp.
