THE WARREN RAILROAD. Its History and Connections. From the Belvidere (N. J.) Apollo. At a meeting of the tockholders of the Warren Railroad Company, held at the office of the Secretary, J. G. SUtptuan, Eq , in Belvidere, March 4, 1874, the fol lowing named gentlemen were elected directors for the ensuing year : Hon. John I. Riair, J. G. Shi pman, b. 1. Scrantoo, Dr. S. S. Clark. D. 0 Rlair, all of New Jersey ; and Samuel Sloan, Moses Taylor, William E. Dodge, and John Urisbin, of 2sew York city. Subsequently, at a meeting of the board, the following officers were elected : Pres ident, John I. Blair ; Vice President. Sam uel Sloan ; Secretary, J. G. Shipruan ; Treasurer, 0. E. Vail ; Assistant Secreta ry, F. P. Chambers; Assistant Treasurer, A. J. Odell. Af ter the business was finished the di rectors partook of a sumptuous dinner, provided by Mrs J. G. Shipman. To the writer, a spectator of the cene, the occasion was a memorable one, it be ing the twenty-first anniversary of the orgauization of the company, and the road consequently attaining its majority on that day. That day also closed the twenty-first year of Mr. Blair's presidency. It it not strange, therefore, that many of the events counected with the ORGANIZATION OF THE ROAD, which, for shrewdness of conception, and rapidity and success in execution, surpass ed perhaps those of any other ever organ ized in this state, should hare been recall d. Books of subscription were onened hv the commissioners ; the requisite amount of jtock subscribed for ; directors and of ficers chosen ; the survey of the route adopted, and the Presideut instructed to file it in the office of the Secretary of State ; full power delegated to the Presi dent to construct the road and to make contracts or leases for connecting with other roads, and the right of way through important gaps secured all within the space of two hours on that eventful day The next day but one, Mr. Blair, arrived in Trenton by the train passing through Newark at 8 o'clock a. M., and filed his survey about odo hour in advance of the agems of the Morris & Ersex road, who came by the 9 o'clock, a. m.. train from Newark. The succeeding day saw him on the Delaware securing the passes. One day later came to the same j laea, scv eral engineers and agents of the Morris Si Essex Company on the saait errand. The former had already secured all the passes below the Water Gap. The latter struck for those in and above the gap on the New Jersey side, and paid exorbitant prices for farms, right of way, and two, supposed to ba essential, river crossiugs In this they thought they had circutn vented the Warren road ; but their vigi lant competitor caused the Delaware, Lack, awanna & Western Railroad to be coo tructed through the gap on the Penn sylvania side, and crossing the river sot eral wiles bolow cut them off with their high priced passes and crossings on thir hands. This was followed by an injunc tion against THE WARREN ROAD on account of alleged frauds in organiz ing, filing survey occupying grounds and other points. The Chancellor having de cided all in favor of the Warren road, the case was carried up to the Court of Er rors, where his decision was unanimously affirmed. The next contest was in the legislature of New Jersey. The Warren road, desir ing to made a blight change of liuo to re duce the grade, thereby lengthening the Van Ness Gap tunnel, the Morris & Essex as usual opposed, and en the first attempt defeated the effort Hon. Wm. Wright, then president of the latter com pany, and a member of the United States Senate, left his seat in Washington and attended the legislature during nearly the entire session, with all the lobby forco at b 13 command, however, the bill against the same unanimously. This 1 lie next winter, passed the house opposition, nearly bill, trifling as it was in itself, was one of the most severely contested measures that ever passed the legislature. It was the last of a long series of contests of various kinds betweeu these rival organizations, and it was no doubt a source of chagrin to the Morris & Essex people, many of whom were in fluential politicians, that they should be beaten all the way through by a eompara tively single handed opponent. It was argued before committees, and heard by counsel before the House Asa Whitehead and Judge Whelply appearing for the Morris & Esex, J. G. Shipman and F. T. Frelinghuyscn for the Warren Company. RETROSPECTIVE. How suggestive is the review of there twenty one years. Senator Wright, both of his eounscl, and nearly all of the direct ors and active men of his company, of that day have passed away. On the part of the Warien road, the commissioners and nearly all who took an active rjuit iu the organization are dead. The excep tions and Mr. Blair, his brother James, now of Scranton, IV, J. G. Shipman, Col. Chas. Scranton, and John W. WyckolF, Treasurer. The Warren road and its associate in interest, the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad now own the Morris & Essex road, which hav ing been double tracked and' improved as to grades and curves, and1 almost ed tirely rebuilt at our expense, including braochei of million of dolloars, is doing business such as was never dreamed of by its projectors. It is a part of a chain of roads nearly seven hundred miles long, operated by one company, aod reach ing from New York citv to Lake On tario, with branches to various point? in New lork and Pennsylvania, the citn bincd capital and cost of which is nroba bly 086 hundred millions of dollars, and transporting altogether nearly three mil lions of ton of coal every year. The Warren road was on account of its geo graphical position, an important link in the great ehaiu, and so intimately was it connected with the large enterprise in which its projectors had long been en raged that without its construction their plans could not have been crowned with complete success. On the first day of October, 184G. in the wilderness of Penn sylvania, at a place then called SLOCUM HOLLOW, afterwards known as Harrison, and sub sequently, when containing a dozen or twenty houses, named Scranton, the site of the present flourishing city of that name, was organized by the Lackawanna Coal & Iron Company ; the foundations of their first miles having been laid over twenty seven years ago. The proprietors at that timo were Col George W Scran ton, Joseph II. ScrantonvSeldeo T. Scran ton, John I. Blair, Wm. E Dodge, Anson G. Phelps, Roswell Sprague, L. L Stur ges, Deter & Miller, and George Buck lay. From that dtiy when these men of strength laid the foundation of Scranton and set in operation tha furnaces and railroad mills there, until now, they have continued to be among the largest and most successful works of their kiud in the country ; and what was then an obscure 8nd unknown village, has be conic. TnE THIRD CITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, with a population of fifty thousand souls The same company bought and rebuilt the road from Owega to Ithaco, aod open ed it for business on the 18tU of Decern ber, 1849. In 1850 51 tl.ey built the road from Scranton to Great Bend, then called the Legget's Gap Railrcad, which was opened for business in October, 1851. thus securing by means of their New York and Erie connection, on outlet for their coal and iron. In the fall of 1852, Mr. Blair and Col. Siranton had a conference of several days' length at Scranton, during which a plan was formed to separate the Lead's Gap, or western division of their road, from the Iron Company and consolidate the former with a new company to be or ganizei and which was to construct a road to the Delaware river. The latter was first called the Cobb's Gap Railroad. At the suvgestiou of Mr. Blair, the appro priate aod characteristic designation of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad was given to the consolidated road The proposed plan being accept able to all parties, it was arranged that COLONEL SCRANTON should attend at Harrisburg and secure the necessary legislation, while Mr. Blair should locate the road, procure the right of way and have all thing in rcadiuess for the opening of work in the spring ; all of which was done Books were open ed, the necessary amount of stock sub scribed for, and building of the road put under contract and driven with the en erpy characteristic of the parties, so that the entire line, iocluding ti e Western road with its Delaware river bridge, the Vass Gap tunnel, and the temporary track through the Van Ness G ip. was opened for business on the lGth ot May, li5(. Iu this last work they received the as sistance of many of the strong men of New York, among the most efficieut of whom was Moses Taylor, who took and has retaiued a largo interest in the var ious enterprises of the different com panics Col. George W. Scranton came to Belvidere from Connecticut over forty yars ago, when almost a boy. lie was a ;ood 'aud great man, retaining the re spect and esteem of all who knew him throughout a long and active career, and whose dat! was uuiversally and deeply lamented. His brother, Seldcn T. Scran ton, came to Belvidere in iSo.'J or 1834, and obtaiued a situation as clerk for Mr. Henry, then operating the old Oxford furnace, which had been worked beforo the revolution. Soon after, wheu Mr. Henry left the furnace, Mr. Blair assist ed the brothers Scranton to rent it. Cir cumstances afterward made it necessary for both of them to go to Slocum Hollow now Scranton. Several yeara later they bought. - THE TROPERTY AT OXFORD. to which Seldcn returned ami has Mnce erected furnaces and iron mills now in operation there. At the present time the property there, includiug the mines, furnaces and mills, are the most valuable iron works in the state; and Seldcn T Scranton and his company have done more to develop the iron interest iu Warren county than auy other men of the present generation. Mr. Scranton, Mr. Blair and William E. Dode alone remain of all those con neeted with the Slocum Hollow works of 1846, as directors ; the latter two are the only ones living who have been directors iu all the associated railroad, iron, aud coal companies from their organization until now. Mr. Selden T. Scranton was the first president of the Lackawanna, Iron & Coal Compaoy. Oil his return to New Jersey his cooin, Joseph H. Scranton, E q , now deceased, wae elected to the j-re'idency. lie was a very worthy man of unq'iestion able intorify, with intelligent and com prehensive views, as well a successful manager of the business of the business of his company. If maybe well to say nere that in the subscriptions to the DELAWARE, LACK WANNA I WESTERN RAILROAD. no provision was made for the Worren road, which, originally was to have been built and operated to the Delaware river by the Ceutral Riilroad of New Jersey. And when, owing to its estimated enor mou3 cost, together with the stringency of the money muiket, the latter company declined the undertaking, it seem3 for a while to involve the suspension of the en terprises in Pennsylvania. At this in juueture the matter of negotiation with the New Jersey Central was referred by the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Company and the Warren Railroad Com pany to 31 r. Blair ns president of the lat ter. He negotiated a contract with J T.Johnson, Esq , president of the Central road, which was executed by them ou the part of their respective companies, aud which, being submitted to the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Company by Mr Blair, was immediately aud unanimously approved. Under this contract Mr. Blair assumed for himself aud his friends the entire expense of building the road from the Delaware river to its junction with the Central road at New Hampton. This short road is one of the most cx pensive, if not the most so, in proportion to its length in this country, having be sides its bridges and embankments, two tunnels together equivalent in length to one and a half miles of single track. THE VASS UAP, or Manunda Chunk tuunel wa the first railroad tunnel completed in this state. Oo the keystone of the arch at the west ern end of the principal, or Van Ness Gap tunnel are engraved the names of John I. Blair, Presideut, and James Arch bald. Chief Engineer of the company ; the latter now dead, was a man eminent in his profession and a truly exemplary and good man. The above is believed to contain an accurate statement - of events connected with the lives of men whose acts belong to the history of the country. The exports from the port of New York, exclusive of specie, for the week ending March 24. amounted to 5,4 13,- 034, against 85,200.047 far the corres ponding week in 1873, and 53,120,757 tor that ot 1872. The total value of the exports from the first of Januarv to that data, was $02,014,982. against 559,020. 009 for the corresponding period of 1873. and $18,937,989 lor the year before. The custom? receipts for the week ending that date were as follows : New- York, 82,508, 054 80 ; Bostoa. 6291,085 80 ; Baltimore, 8198,035 88; and Philadelphia, 8180,159 75. A correspondent of the Field says : One day I noticed a flock of eleven pure Creve Cocur chickens, very bad with what is called gapes. I remarked to the man who had them iu charge that he would not have many chickens out of that lot 'On, never mind,' said he, 'I have got a cure for them from a neighboring woman, which is a common half penny tallow candle melted and mixed into a quart of oatmeal stir about.' The remedy was re sorted to, aud the Creve Cocurs have every one recovered and grown into finely de loped chickens. I have since tried this cure with invariable success oo Brahmas, Dorkliogs, Thoc who have passed over the Erie road could hardly fail to observe the Chester taeadows or flats n the Eastern Division, between Goshen and Turner's, or to tee how rich they are and produc tive and in what a high state of cultiva tion.
