I Musty Old Book Tells of City's Trials With Paxton Creek in 1792 J Whole Town Aroused When Fever Began to Wipe Out ;! Population; Blamed Disease on Dam; Finally I; Bought and Destroyed It; Collected Four Shil ■l lings Six Pence "to Pay For Whisky on Great and ;• Glorious Occasion" • W.%V.V.%V.V.-.%V-V.-A%VWA-.VW.%W^P.-.W-".W.%W.S That the problem of keeping germ ridden Paxton creek in check as far back as 1 792 was one of lively con cern Is disclosed by a hook, recently unearthed, which shows that after one hundred persons had . died from fevers, rising from its polluted waters, public spirited citizens sub scribed 2,600 pounds ($13,000) to eradicate the trouble. It. has only been within the last three years that the matter has been satisfactorily adjusted by concreting the b£d of the stream. The book containing the original minutes of mass meetings held from 1 792 to 1795 tells of the trials and tribulations which a committee un derwent before it succeeded in pur chasing the old mill dam, which waa believed to be the main stamping grounds of germs. The book was purchased by J. Kla wansky, 123 Cranberry street, during a sale at the Broad street market. Where it came from or In whose hands it was during the last century, he does not know. It appears, according to the book, that during the year 1792 the bor ough of Ilarrisburg was afflicted with a fever of violent character, closely resembling yellow fever. The town then had a population of about 800 persons and when more than 12 per cent, were wiped out, a movement was started to destroy a mill dam In the lower end owned by Peter and Abram Landis. At a big mass meeting it was unani mously agreed that £2,600 be as sessed on property holders for the purchase of the dam and mill. After wards a number of residents sub scribed several hundred dollars apart frornvjjiis sum. William Crabbe, MajdHgwiney, Thomas Gregg, Ru- John Maclay and John Peiffer were among the heaviest con tributors. Forefathers of some of_Harrisburg's most distinguished residents were among those who subscribed large amounts to make the city cleaner and healthier back in the old days. Those who contributed amounts ranging from S7O to $l5O included Jacob Awl, Adam Boyd, Alexander Berryhlll. James Beatty, J.imes Dun can, Joshua Elder, Thomas Foster, Moses Gilmore, John Hamilton. George Hoyer, Christian Kunkle. John Luther and a Mr. Gailbraith. More than 100 others donated money. Wanted to Tear Ont Dam Finally, In 1796. £1,600 of the re quired amount was raised. This had been agreed on for the first payment, but when the money was tendered to Peter Landis, he refused it. an nouncing that the price had soared to £3,300. Young bloods in the crowd suggested overpowering and ripping out the breast of the (lam. Saner counsel prevailed and they were restrained. .Messrs, Gilmore, Potta, Berryhill. Kean, Bucher, Graydon and Dentzell were then commissioned to devise ways and means of abating the nuis ance. Finally, the mill, two pieces of land, houses, dam and machinery were purchased for £2.638 pounds, four shillings and six pence/ The payments were made in three annual installments. It is interesting to find that some' citizens, who refused to contribute to the fund.- were obliged to leave the town. No violence was offered, but none of them was able to secure a job. Un April 18 the inhabitants of the city proceeded in a body to the mill dam and hired four persons to open a gap in the face of the dam twelve feet wide. This was done and the workmen were given four dollars. After they had completed their labors, the hat was passed, and, as the book quaintly phrases It, "collected four shillings and six pence to pay for whisky to use on this great and glorious occa sion!" Notice was then sent out that the Courthouse bell would be rung on Saturday as a signal for assembling the residents to complete the. demoli tion of the dam. The book contains all the original, minutes and complete report of the money and notes subscribed. It is written in ink on heavy rag paper and is in excellent state of preserva tion. The mill site, with the privileges of a dam and millrace, was originally purchased from John Harris, Jr., by the Landis people. PUMPING OUT A I.ARB [From the Chicago Journal.] When a lake interferes with modern industrial progress, the lake must be abolished, according to a precedent es tablished regarding Kerr Lake, near Cobalt, Ontario, which is no longer in existence. Tt has been pumped dry be cause it stood in the way of the min ing of a vein of silver extending under it. This vein was so rich that the min ing company decided that it was worth the expense of pumping the. lake dry. The pumping operations were unusaul. It required four big centrifugal pumps, which were placed on scows floated on the surface of the lake. These pumps were large enough to permit the passage of solid matter up to four inches in diameter. The water was conveyed through pipes to another lake about half a mile away. The pumping .operations required thirty eight working days of ten hours each, with the pumps bringing up water at the rate of 6,000 gallons a minute. The lake covered about thirty acres and contained more than 4,000,000 gallons of water. , PHILADELPHIA STOCKS By Associated Press Philadelphia. May 1. Stocks closed steady.
