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.

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

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

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?

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

STRENGTH OF .MATERIALS.
Several Varieties of Wood Are- Kcully
Stronger Than Steel.
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.

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.

in Public- l ife.
From the New York Journal.
Three years ago this month, while
political topics were stirring everybody,
and the great Harrison-Cleveland cam
paign was in tile air, it will be remem
bered that Sir. Bluine,.oven then sick
unto death, was spending the summer
at Bar. Harbor, trying to hear as little
as possible ot politics and keeping en-
Ulvl' ,ul "f P"1'"'" lifl
One day, while taking a little stroll
along the sands, the Plumed Knight
was surprised by a correspondent from
New York, who had come up to Inter
view him and had waited his chance.
"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. Before 1 was watched, followed,
talked about nnd persecuted. When I
was a simple lawyer, happy over a
case. And to others, I would say that
quiet life is the happy one to be the
unknown person. Tolstoi Is right. He
has the right Idea. Happiness lies in
the homespun nnd In toil."
