MAJOR ENSMINGER TO
GIVEUP BUSINESS
[Continued from First Page.]
1881, he fell five flights down the
Elevator shaft and as he -puts it
"stove himself up considerable." All
the doctors in Harrisburg wanted to
cut oft what was left of his legs but
Mother Ensminger insisted that the
Major hold on to them, and he did.
Reoords of Last Century
Not the least interesting objects In
this old curiosity shop to-day were
the business books of Philip Ensmin
ger, the Major's father, who was
bi\-n hero In 1802. He and his
brother. Uncle Joe, who liver to be
a hundred. Quarried stone out of the
Susquehanna to build the first Capi
tol. They also helped to build the
llrst bridge over the river. Philip
Ensminger had the swell meat store
in town those days and Judge George
Kunkle will probably grin to hear
that one of his ancestors of this very
day in the year 1880 bought nine
pounds of veal from Phil. Ensmin
ger for 58 cents. If any relatives of
| Ellns Zollinger are alive they may
I be Interested to learn thAt he was
able to (tet five and three-quarter
pounds of prime beef at Ensmlnger's
for S5 certs.
All the quality folks in town pat
ronized this market and Major En
sminger very proudly turned over
the leaves Jo-day as he recalled those
gentle folk of days gone by. Here
were such names as Samuel Boyer,
Sam. Bryson, John Stahley, James
R. Boyd, Peter Bernhelsel, Mont
gomery, Kunkel, William Duncan
Bucher, Charles Carson, John Rudy,
Riker, Chandler, Uhler. John Wiest
llng, Weinbrenner. Zollinger and Al
derman Henry Badcr. William Dun
can. on this day more than eighty
years ago was lucky to get five and
one-half pounds of fresh pork for
34 cents and the Boyd family wal
lowed In lour and one-half pounds
of calves' liver for the total Invest
ment of 28 cents.
Time to Quit
Both Major Ensminger and his
wife feel that as they are approach
ing 80 years in age it is time to
give up the old place with all its
dear memories, but it is with great
pride that they give way to the de
mands of Father Time. The Major
is still lively as a cricket and very
game. "If they would give me a
motorcar and a Gatling gun." said
he. "I would go over there right now
and help our boys."
The Major embarked In the fur
niture business in 1859, succeeding
his father early as 1836. Scarcely had
he time to settle himself in busi
ness when "giant rebellion" showed
its head, and he responded to his
country's first call for troops to de
fend the Union, serving with the
three months' defenders as a private
in the Lochiel Grays. Returning
home when his time of service ex
pired, he closed up his business, re
enlisted with the nine months' men,
entering the service for the second
time as a private, he was. when mus
tered out. the second lieutenant of
his company. Returning home he
immediately rhised a company in re
sponse to the President's call for
one-year troops, of which he was

commissioner captain. After being
mustered out the third time, Mr. En
smlngrer re-established hhnself In
1863. forming a partnership with
W. J. Adams, who went Into the
service, with Captain Ensminger flr*t
as fergoant in the nine months' serv
ice, and again as first lieutenant of
the company of one-year men that
Mr. Ensminger raised. The firm of
Ensminger and Adams continued
five years, when the latter retired,
and Mr. Ensmlnger carried on the
business at the old stand, corner of
Second and Chestnut streets, and in
the meantime established a branch
store at corner oj Third and Cumber
land streets which he still runs.
"Handsomest business building
that adorns this city" was the way
the local papers spoke of the flvo
story structure which was being va
cated to-day by the Ensmlngers.
Aii Old Account
A first column, first page account
told how the plans and drawings of
this model building were gotten up
by Frank E. Davis, of this city. The
mason work was done by the I.yme
Brothers. J. Shaffer had charge of
the granite and sandstone work. The
brick laying was done by Joseph and
A. K. Black, who pronounce It the
best put up structure In this city;
the bricks are from the well-known
yards of Muench and McCleaster;
Peter Bertihelsel: Jr., had charge of
the carpenter work: the plumbing
and gasfittlng was done by Messrs.
I-ysle and Poole, the plastering by
J. Stromingfcr and the tin work by
S. H. Kautz, all well known skilled
mechanics of this city. The orna
mental cornice piece that surmounts
the .structure with nhme and busi
ness in raised letters is the work of
Messrs. Austin, Opdyke & Co., of
Philadelphia.
Greatest Interest was taken to-day
by crowds who rambled all over the
five floors, many moved only from
curiosity. There arc good books In
fine condition galore; much hard
wood furniture and odd things like
a Union soldier's overcoat in sood
condition.. Major Ensminger will re
tire immediately from business, nav
ing leased his place for ten years
to Norman DeGray.

of the conditions which contribute

upon the environment which city
