Moxokgahela City, Pa., September
5. 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.

HE WINGED HIS HAN.
A Kobinson Township Citizen's Duel
in a California Mining Camp.
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.

Tia:A.T TELL
The great trouble with "bargain sales" to
day is that too many dealers rush into print,
when, as a matter of fact, they have no real
bargains to offer. Bince our first ad. ap
peared in the Pittsburg papers, man years
ago, we have always carefully guarded
against exaggeration or misrepresentation,
consequently when we advertise anything
special the people'well know that we mean
exactly what we say.
YoiTII Never Regret
Visiting our Cloak Booms while tha specia
sale, which lasts until September 15, is in
progress. Never within onr memory have
such rare values been offered. We are glad
to be in a position to save our patrons from
25 to 40 per cent on every Flusb Jacket,
Sacque or Cape sold over these counters
during the time specified. Investing heav
ily in these garments when our competitors
were asking each other, "Is it hot enough
for you?" we are now offering the goods be
low prices quoted by the manufacturers.
Our good luck will be shared with patrons
to the fullest extent. Will you invest now
or will you wait and pay a fancy price after
the last garment has been disposed of?
