This once important industry was located on the south bank <>f Codorun creek, near its junction with the Susque hanna river, a few miles north of the borough of Wrightsville. The site of this furnace was variously known as the llellam Forge and llellam iron Works. in 1765 a forge and furnace were erected by William Bennett, who von timied the business until May 21, 1771, when the works fell into the hands of the sheriff. Samuel Kdie, of York county, who sold it to Charles Hamilton, and by him it was trans ferred to James S. Smith, one of the signers of the Declaration of inde pendence. He operated the furnace, where ammunition was turned out for the Continental Army. Mr. Smith, who was a member of the Continental Congress, foun/1 it a losing venture and it is said that he lost $23,000 through his two managers, "one of whom," he said, 'was a fool and the other a knave." While in Congress Smith sold the plant to Thomas Xiel, a. York merchant, who continued to operate it. In 1810 it was purchased by Henry Grubb, who enlarged the plant. One of the managers was John T. IThill, who afterward became a slave-catcher. In 1 837 the furnace was partly re built and ore was obtained from the famous Chestnut Hill ore banks, near Columbia, the ore being towed across the river in flatboats. The furnace ceased operations in 1850 and began to crumble and decay, the above pic ture showing the ruins as they ap peared less th»n a year ago, being the only one known to be in existence. Criticism of Friendship Company Unwarranted, Says Fire Chief Kindler Criticism of the Fire Department because the Friendship motor appa ratus did not respond to an alarm last night owing to the absence of the regular driver and the failure to pro vide a substitute, was said by Fire Chief lvindler this morning to be un warranted. According to his statement, the driver of the ambulance at the Friendship house is authorized to drive the new truck when the regu lar chauffeur, George Irvin, is away on Friday nights, his weekly time off duty. The fire last night at 36 Balm street was responded to by the Citi zen Company and the Friendship fire men were ready to respond if neces sary. An alarm sent in this morning from Box 73 by Theodore Levan, a 13- year-old boy, was the occasion for praise by Fire Chief Kindler, who found the boy waiting when the fire men arrived and directed them to the tire in an open field at Twenty-first and Derry streets, which was rapidly sweeping over the dry grass toward a row of frame houses nearby. Not a Dance, Just a Hop, at Paxtonia The dances that once upon, a time were the big features of the nightly revelries at Paxtonia Inn weren't dances ar all: ?hey were "hops." So Daniel Finifrock, one of the wit nesses to support Harry Eckinger's ap plication for the license of the inn told Judges Kunkel and McCarrell in li cense court to-day. Nowadays they don't dance the way the Dauphin county court and Mr. Finifrock used to do it. Other witnesses in supporting the applicants for the license tried to show that the u-iseiiee of the licensed hotel at Paxtonia increased the number of "joy rides" from town and that the roadway early in the morning was lit tered with beer and whisky bottles. Others testired to the necessity of the place because of its central location as it was a big gathering place £or stock sales, etc. Witnesses for me remonstrants told of how the. presence of the licensed hotel had increased the drunkenness of racing automobilists and that the speeders endangered the marketers and others who traveled the road. Furthermore the community didn't consider a licensed place a necessity any longer, K. J. Dare said, because it had existed for the last year without it and the section felt the beneficial results COI'llT SAYS MAN IS PRIVILEGED TO GET DBI'.NK Wilkes-Barre. Pa.. Feb. 20.—Judge John M.
