THE SCRANTON Tit IJ JU NET1 I L' 1J S D A Y MORNING, NOVEMBER 15, lSiM. HISTORY OFWARD FAMILY Martha Ward Glcason, of New York, . Gives It in Detail. HIGHLY lXTEKUSTlNG STORY It Contains Great Ileal of Heretofore Vnwritten Uistory of Scranton and ' Its Larly Settlers Thot Will lie Head with Profit. I My attention has recently bren called to nn article which appeared in The Tribune In August Inst, the subject of which was why Cedar street is collo qually culled Ward street; and which also purported to be a reminiscence of the Wai'4 families who settled there. As the article Is in many points Incor rect 1 desire to puhlish the following In relation to the subject : Strictly speaking the family Is not Oernian, as stated by your correspond ent. The name itself shows that. Fam ily tradition states that three brothers, "William, Benjamin und Jacob Ward. came from England about ItiSl-'.', set tling at Chester, William Tenn's earlier s.'ttlcment. Subsequently William re move to New York State and Jacob to North Carolina, Renjumln remaining In Chester, und it Is from this one that the present family descends. Hetijnniin Ward, n deseendetit of this Benjamin, lved at Williams township, Northampton county, near .Huston, an I was n soldier of the Revolution, being at. Valley Forge and at the battle of l'fineetoii. Ills wife was a Moravian Hutch woman named Barbara Sehaef dYr. from the vicinity of Nazareth, and it Is here the so called German ap pears, on the distaff side. This Benja min Ward had seven sons and one daughter. Conrad, one of these sons, married Barbara Kindt, daughter of Martin and Sarah Kindt, tills Martin Kindt being also a soldier of the Ki vo lution. Conrad had also seven sons and a daughter and it Is two of these sons John, born .March 17. T.7A7. In Wil liams township, and Simon, born Janu ary 0. lstd, in the samn place, that settled Ward street. The the other brothers nnd the sister, who married n man named Benjamin Deinutli, emi grated to Michigan over sixty years ngu, settling at Jackson and Clinton. .Marriage of John WarJ. John Ward married Mary Bishop, inure properly Bisholf, of Fusion, und Simon married IcUtsaii (Kneelil, both Pennsylvania Dutch. Both of the men spoke that dialect and both lead. and wrote German In addition to English. I often heard my grandfather say the only schools in their vicinity were Ger man. Both men hud an accent, as both were born and brought tip and educated iimong the Moravians. There was Hitch on the maternal side for two gen erations, as before stated. These facts will account if or the Idea that the ards were German. They were Eng lish and Moravian chiefly. The Ward brothers removed their lamilies lrom Northampton county to Monroe county, near Stroudsburg, al ly in the thirties. John's family con sisted of one son, Conrad, my father, named nfler his grandfather. Simon's family consisted of four, Beiiben, .Henry, Frank, and William. It was through the influence of William Henry, of Stroudsburg, the man who was prime mover In the settlement of Scranton, that the Ward brothers al fame to "Slocuin Hollow." It was in August, 140, that the linn of Bcntnton, Grant & Co, was formed. William Henry being of the company, and on the 11th of September the lirst day's work was done on the blast fur nace by Simon Ward. He did not bring Ills family for some time afterward, and 5u November walked the fifty-two miles back to Strooudsburg to vote for Gen eral Harrison, for the presidency. Drought Their Families to Scranton John Ward and his son Conrad prub- ri bly did not contemplate settlintr oer- jnanently when they lirst came, for they did not remove the fumily to Scranton till January, JS47. I have heard my mother and grandmother tell of living' in a haunted house in Strouds burg in MS, alone amongIts strange sights and unaccountable sounds, the two men being In Scranton at work. rt.i . . ... vt nen motner uiu come she came over the wild and desolate 1'ocono by stage, along the Drinker pike, and stopped over night at an Inn in Clifton town ship; und by a strange coincidence the oldest child, a girl of six years, owned that house and lived In it in 1S72. a quarter of u century afterward. It hail Hot been a hotel then for some years. travel having been diverted from the Drinker pike on the opening of the southern division of the D. I,. & W. rail- load In May, 1S56. The fumily did not immediately settlo in Ward street, but lived In a company house on the hill above the old saw mill. Jn lS'.l they purchased land and built the double house In Ward street in winch, lather and son lived for many years. It was on the corner of AVnrd street, now Cedar avenue, and Hickory street. Frank Ward, Simon's son, lived in the x first house above the bridge over the Itoaring Brook, a bridge removed but h couple years ago. Simon and his son Henry lived a few doors above my futh T, a little below Freuhan's and Weich rl's. These houses were not log houses ns your informer says; they were Rood frame buildings and all are still stand ing and occupied except the one owned by my father, which was burned In iNGfi, about eighteen months after we had moved from It. It was then owned bv the .late Jacob Schlfnpff, father of Carl Hchlmpfr, the pianist, to whom my fath it had sold it. Six families of the WurJs. Tn addition to the six fnmllloei iv "Wards who lived In these four houses, Daniel Ward, of an entirely differ ellt family, a relative of Judge Ward's, I be Jleve, lived In the same block with Simon, .just above where Anihouv AVelnshenk lives.' He wus the father Christopher, .Sylvester and Warren ard. I remember wntchlnir hlm iiriv home the cows one stormy, snowy night In late fail, and hearing him tell grandmother It was the last time would drive them home that winter, my he It was: he died u few days nftcrwnrd H made a deep Impression on my childish memory and I have never forgotten , it. ins wire, a lovely old lady whom eve one called "Aunt Beekv." nnrvivrwl 1 ery- i him nearly thirty years, dying Janunry.isyi. It Is not true, as your correspondent asserts, that "In those days every fam lly from the bridge to Birch street longed by blood or marriage to Vard family." Conrad, the son of John Biarrled In 1840 Sarah Yeisley, of Mur Hall s Creek, near the Delaware W utei Cap, Henry, Simon's son, married a ttiutttt rf Vila nrututti ftiit'tt,Vu i..lV. from Marshall's Creek. Keuben man also led Wary Fenncll, of New Jersey; Frank mnrrld Lydia Tnylor.frorn what Is now known ns fine Brook, In Scranton. lium, who did not live In Ward street nil, married Ann Lndwig, of Hyde i'ark. There was not one marriage vox contracted by either son or Uaueh ter of any of the different families, even to the last generation, with any mem ber of any Ward street family what ever. They might possibly if they had remained there; but none of them have lived there since soon after the close of the war. In fact, Conrad and his fath er moved to Hyde Park in November, 1864, remaining there JuBt a year, when they moved to the corner of Franklin avenue and Mulberry street, remaining there till 1N77. when they moved to ir glnla. John being SO years old nnd his son bi, and both died and are nurieu there; John dying in 1S7S and my father In 1.SS2. Venerable Simon Ward. v Simon moved to the company farm on Capouse avenue, Green Kidge, about ISliS or 'fifi.where he lived till last March, reaching the great age of nine-three years, lie saw the wonuertut progress of the city, growing as it did from a little settlement In the dense wilder ness to a city third in the Slate, with great mills and furnaces and mines and the well deserved title of "the Electric City." My grandfather seldom spoke of the old days, but my grand-uncle Simon did. He use to relate that his maternal grandmother, Sarah Kindr, told him of how a neighbor called her "Sarah! Sarah!" and when she responded he said, "Cornwnllis is captured and soon Martin will be horn.." Duly one life between we of the present generation and Cornwnllis' suurender, in 17S1. The Wards seem to answer to heather Stocking's inscription of the panther long lived critter and dies h.ird." I'ncle Simon knew where the grave of the old Indian chief Capouse was, and told the writer. I found It readil troin his description. It Is on the east side of the Lackawanna on a slope looking to ward the location of the Indian town of Capouse which was on Tripp's Hats. He dc'-lved his information from the Carey who owned the company farm (where Uncle Simon lived for nearly thirty years and where he (lied) before it became the property of the company. fhe Careys were among the very earl iest settlers in the valley and this farm was theirs for many years. They had a family burying ground on the place, which was cut through and destroyed in July, IK:::, in making a street. Barn abas and Ellas Carey settled lu the val ley in 1771; whether this was the place originally settled by them or not 1 can not say; but according to the informa tion my granduncle received from the Careys the Indians danced their war dances around ihe grave of the dead chief uH was their custom when they unteinplateil a rising. The wide circle around the grave Is uliiiiilv to be seen. In Holllster's history he states that in 17!t,"i a lot of Indian graves were discov ered on the Yon Storch farm on the west, bank of the Lackawanna, and says that one of the graves was erron eously supposed to be that of Capouse owing to its having been prepared with special attention and as It contained great quantities of implements. The historian does not relate where the chief was 'buried, if he knew. The knowledge is probably possessed by few, and it is well: the grave would doubtless be desecrated by vandals. As it Is, it is only u question of time when it will be entirely obliterated (us it has already partly been.) It should be marked and protected. Monuments have been erected to Indians, notably Bed Jacket; why should not Serantoji have one to Capouse? family lllhle of Ancient Pate, Among the relics uncle Simon" pos sessed were a family Bible of the dateof I'nii and a flax hackle entirely hand made, even to the nails. It has the dat(' 1 77') hammered on It in the iron. It was made by Tony llartsell, a relative of the family in those days. The old fashion of seven sons nnd one daughter which Seemed to obtain lu our family a century ago is apparently somewhat reversed; it is merely all daughters now, John had but the one son, Conrad, and Conrad raised live daughters and two suns, The oldest I daughter, Mary, spoken of before, is the wife of S. K. Moon; one fif her daugh ters, Anna Moon, is one of the trained nurses at Lackawanna Hospital; one of her sons is Attorney G. W.

Harman, a manufacturer of Norristown, Pn., and myself. John, the oldest son, died lu 1S7S at the age of thirty years; the youngest to die except Infants that, we have record of. He left one child, a daughter, now the wife of William Sykes, contractor, of Given Hldge. Charles, the second son to live, is mar ried but childless: with him dies the name of our branch. 1'ncles Simon's son Frank died about 1X6:1, leaving two children, Walter, who died In 1SXN, leaving one son, Raymond, still a child, and Etta, who married a Mr. Cooper, of Green Ktdge.

William, who served through the en tire war, as did Henry, went to Kala mazoo, Michigan, and died there some time in the. 7()'s, being killed by a fall from a horse. Ho left one daughter, Arabell, married nnd living in Texas. Henry alone remlans. He has three daughters: Emma, wife of Henry Van Bergnn, of the Lackawanna Iron & Sleel Co. store; Adda, wife of Henry Wilcox, and Frances, wife of L. K. Cook. Martha. Ward Gleason. New York, Nov.

Cast Iron weighs 444 pounds to the cubic, foot, and a one-inch square bar will sustain a weight of l!,.1n7 pounds; bronze, weight Cl'5 pounds, tenacity 3,Bil(); wrought Iron, weight 4KQ, tenac ity,' no.OOO; hard "struck" steel, weight 40, tenacity 7S,00(t; aluminum weght 1tis, tenacity 2,nrti). We are accustomed to think ot metals as being stronger than wood, and so they are, generally speaking, If only pieces of the same size be tested. But when equal weights of the two materials are compared 11 is then found that several varieties of Vwood are stronger than ordinary steel. A bar of pine Just ub heavy as n. bar of steel an Inch square will hold up 1,25,000 pounds; the best ash 75.000, nnd some hemlock 200,000. Wood is bulky. It occupies ten or twelve times the space of steel. The best steel castings made for the United States navy have a tenacity of (i.,,uo0 to 75,000 pounds to the square inch. By solidifying such castings under greut pressure a tensile strength of 80,000 to lM.OOO pounds may be obtained. ' t The Bachelor's Joke. From the Cleveland Plaln-Dcalc. "This," said tho bachelor, as he paid for sewing on a button, "Is what is meant by a single tax," - THE STAR GFBETKLEBEM Guiding Light of the isc Men May Again Appear. KAS DIE SEVERAL YEARS AGO The Opinion of a Celebrated Astronomer I pun the Alsterions Star That May llue ilxisted Only In nn Oriental l'niry Tale-Was It a Comet.' Cammllle Flanininrlon, in Deutsch Revue. Some time ago various newspapers of Europe and America contained the startling Intelligence that the star which guided the "Wise Men" would again appear. This star was connect ed with that celebrated one which, :!18 years ago, suddenly disappeared from the constellation of Cassiopeia, and it was found that this star of l.TO had previously appeared in the years 1-iil and !t,"i4, and, if counted back, must have appeared in the year of the birth of Christ. If these facts were well es tablished, we must certainly expect the star to appear again in our days. We should then see a new body in the heav ens, entirely unlike any fixed star, to be seen in full daylight, which would In a short time again disappear. Every astronomer in recent times has asked hundreds of questions on this subject, is it true that the Star of Bethlehem will again appear? Is it periodical? Is its place lu the sky appointed? The next question is, What really happened In 1 -,?-'? It was n few nights after St. Bartholo mew's Night. Tycho Bruhc, the great observer of those days, tells us that: "One evenng, as 1 was watching the heavens in my accustomed manner, I saw, to my great astonishment, in the constellation of Cassiopeia. i brilliant star of unusual clearness." This was on Nov. 11, 1.":!. Three days before the star had been seen by Cornelius Gemma, who spoke of It as 'this new Venus." In December of the same year Its lustre began to wane; and in .March, l."74. it had entirely disappeared, leav ing no trace. As to the stars of !4u and ll'til, we have no authority except that of the Bohemian astrologer, Cyprian Lowitz. No historian mentions them, and the Chinese chroniclers, who watched all appearances In the sky with great care, do not speak of them. Even granting the appearance of these stars to have been a fact, their resem blance to the Star or Bethlehem Is doubtful. It Is true that by counting back we come to the years tWlt, lib",, and 0; but the star should have again ap peared some time between 1SS0 and lsnl. Wus It a I'airy Tale.' Willi regard to the Star of Bethle hem there are live assumptions: (1.) It had no existence, and Ihe entire statement is a beautiful fairy tale, il.) The fixed star, seen by the Wise Men; was Venus, at the time of lis greatest splendor. Ci.t It was a periodical star like that of V,,2. (4.) The phenomenon was occasioned by a conjunction of planets. ".) It was a comet. Of these assumptions the most probable is the second. Thai it was a periodical star is scarcely likely, for Ptolemy and M.i-tuan-lin would have spoken of it. The fourth statement was suggested In ISL'6 by the German astronomer ldoler, and repeated by Eneke lu 1S:!1, In the year It B. C. there were conjunctions of the planets Juoiter, Mars, and Saturn on May 2!', Sept. ". and Dee. !, but on none of these days were the planets nearer together than a degree, so thut. the Wise .Men must have been very near sighted to take them for one star. The lil'lh assumotion is also not to be con sidered, for people already knew how to distinguish a comet from other stars, and, besides, we have no knowledge of a comet at that time. For all these reasons we have not the least occasion to expect the return of the Star of Beth- lehem at the close of our century. And even if such a star should appear, it would simply he the twenty-sixth such case observed In historical times, and the interest attached to it would be purely astronomical. r.I.AI.VL'S JIAl'l'lKST DAY.

"If you will not talk politics, Mr. Blaine," said the reporter, "will you not at least talk on everyday topics? Will you tell me, for instance, what was the happiest period of your life? And how would you advise others to gain happi ness?" "Yes," replied the ex-secrelary. "Tho happiest time in my life was be fore the people became Interested in me.
