LOCAL HISTORY.
Penns Township Settlers Prior to 1800.
Peons township io colonial times covered all
the territory now in Snyder county except Mon
roe township, part of the townships of Brown,
nearly all of Armagh and Decatur in Mifflin
county and the southern portions of Hartley and
Ix?wis in Union. Penns township when North
umberland county was erected 1772, began at
the mouth of Mahantongo creek; thence, by the
county line, to MeteerV Spring; thence with
same Hue, to the top of Tussey's mountain;
thence along the top thereof, easterly to Pcuns
Creek; thence down the creek to its mouth; thence
down the river to the place of beginning. This
boundary ran along the present line of Snyder
county; thence to the north line of Mifflin county,
at the corner of the present townships of Jackson
and Brown.
In 1708, when Penns township, was in Cum
berland county, the assessment books at Carlisle
show the following lists of inhabitants: Johh
Aumiller, Philip Aumillcr, William Blythe,
Jacob Carpenter, George Drowner, Adam Ewig,
George Gabrial, Jacob Hammersly, Jolm Lee,
Arthur Moody, Michael Regar, George lline,
John lleighlxnigh, junior and senior, Michael
Rodman Casper Reed, Frederick Stump, (who
is taxed with one negro,) Peter Straub, Adam
Stephen, and Andrew Shafer. The freeman ate
John McCormick, William Gill, Edward Lee,
and Joseph Reynolds.
Of these early settlers I can fix the locality ol
but lew. William Blythe lived at the mouth
of Middle creek; Adam Ewig on the creek just
above App's mill; George Gabrial on the site of
Selinsgrove; Frederick Stump where Middleburg
now stands; Peter Straub at Straubstown; Will
ian Gill on Tuscarora creek, not far from New
Berlin. The latter came originally from Bucks
county. Belonging to a regiment in Forbes'
campaign, he was wounded in the leg in Grant's
defeat, Septemlier 14, 1758, or in the attack on
Bouquet's camp, at fjoyalhanna, and made for
home, through the woods, with a bullet in his
leg. . He lived mostly on wild gran 00 the way.
Reaching Peon's creek, he stopped, married a
German woman there, and settled. He served
in Captain Clarke's company the winter of 1776
7, and when, during the war of 1812, one of his
sons was drafted, and fur some reason could not
go, the old man went with him to Sunbury, and
asked to be substituded fur his son. The board
rewarded his patriotism by discharging his son.
He died in Beaver township, about the year
1S20, leavinir a larce family of boys. His
gruudson Jacob was a member of Captain Mid
dlewarth's company, in 1814.

IT
The Union Party Njw Owned and
Operated by Democrats.
WANT TO CAPTURE LEGISLATURE
i
Then They Wouia. Proceed to Elect, a
Democratic Senator Plane All Laid
Out Some Sensatienal Democratic
Fakes Exposed.
(From Cur Own Correspondent.)
Philadelphia, Sept. 2. What every
body has ln't n expecting has at last
come to pass. The Democracy has
gobbled the so-called Union party at
one gulp. On Saturady last the Demo
cratic stale leader. Colonel Jauies M.
GulTey. held n conference in this city
with Frank M. Kiter, state chairman
of the Union party, and completed the
details.
It is a notorious fact that Democrats
lave been alter Union party delegates
right and left for weeks. The result
of this is that the Democratic owners
of the Union rarty have demanded an
endorsement of Tattison and Guthrie
or else they will "rough" the conven
tion and make a scene.
The people in charge of the Republi
can state headquarters have kept
themselves fully informed of the move
ments of the Democrats in their work
of capturing the independent remnant
in this city and state. An agent of
the party went into Washington coun
ty and offered the delegates of the
Union party there free transportation
and all expenses to Philadelphia if
they would vote to endorse Pattison.
In this city the most unusual proceed
ings have been resorted to to capture
delegates in the interest of the Demo
cratic party.
A DEMOCRAT FOR SENATOR.
It Is now understood that the deal
between the Union party promoters
and the Democratic managers includes
oot only the indorsement of the Demo
cratic state ticket, but an arrangement
for the selection of candidates for the
legislature who will be pledged to vote
for a Democrat for United States sena
tor and the support of Democrats and
Unionists of a fusion candidate for
mayor of Philadelphia next spring.
In the promotion of the mayoralty
scheme it is understood the so-called
Union party state convention will un
dertake to authorize a reconstruction
of the Philadelphia Union ward and
city committees along the lines calcu
lated to promote the deal already en
tered into. This means that an effort
will be made to depose men in Phila
delphia who favor Judge Pennypacker
and substitute Democrats or those who
are in harmony with the Democratic
6cbeaie.
A sample of the work they have bet-n
carrying on wrs furnished the other
night in this city. Members of the
Union Party committee of the Thir
teenth ward met at Eighth street and
Fairmount avmue and elected Louis
Meunch and William McGowan as dele
gates to the state convention, instruct
ing them to support ex-Judge Penny
packer tor governor. The meeting,
which was presided over by Joseph
TA'pltirlrh vrna InvRrierl hv mmh nrf
tne Democratic Ward Executive Com
mittee, who wished to throw the sup
port of the convention to Robert E.
Pattison.
Failing In their efforts to stampede
the convention the Democrats bolted,
nnd held a second convention at R21
North Seventh street, where they elect
ed representatives for Pattison.
A PACKED CONVENTION.
The Union party has held no prl
riifiitcft - A few men hnve gathered here
and there and they have chosen their
delegates In s-ome eases there has been
snap f"l'" .t nv.J in other cases two
Sets oT di-iei'.-H ": have been elected
from thf rr.w districts. Put the Pat
tison d"l"t:ntes will lie admitted to the
convention.
Of cutirso there w ill be some Penny
packer men in the convention, but the
Paitison men control the machinery of
the party by purchase nnd they will see
to it that Pattison has a majority in
the convention. It will be a packed
! gathering and the Pennypacker dele
! gates will not stand a chance of being
! treated fairly.
SOME DEMOCRATIC FAKES,
i Sensational fakes are playing a
; prominent part in the Democratic cam
f paign. A week or two ago somebody
sent Hon. Robert E. Tattison an al
leged Infprnal "machine." After a lot
1 of exploitation it turned out to be a
package of harmless stuff,
j Last week the story was industrlous
! ly circulated by the Democrats that
! State Insurance Commissioner I. W.
1 Durham, the Philadelphia leader, who
, is In Colorado, was dangerously ill
! with a chronic disease. It is not a new
trick to Invent reports that this and
that political leader are not expected
to live long, owing to some malady
that has taken hold of them. For the
last dozen years Quay's enemies have
from time to time reported him in a
dying condition. Several years before
his death the late lamented Chris
Magee read in the newspapers that he
was a dying man. And there have been
other similar cases.
Commissioner Durham is in perfect
health and will return to Philadelphia
this week. He rides on an average
25 miles a day, and in a recent per
sonal letter declared that be was never
so well In his life.
Thanks For Penrose,
Resolutions of thanks, according to
a Washington dispatch, continue to
pour in upon Hon. Boies Penrose for
hlB speech In the senate against the
oleomargarine trust. Granges all over
the state are sendin? him official reso
lutions for his efforts In the Interests
of pure butter and the dairy.
A TARIFF TEST
How Pennsylvania's Iron and Steel In
I duetry Has Grown,
j The Hunt in Pennsylvania this fall is
, one of the most interesting in the
! country, because of the large congres-
sional interests Involved. The pro-
posed Democratic attempt to revise
! the tariff enters largely into the sub
Ject and increases the importance of
I the contest.
I Of great interest to the people of this
' state is a special bulletin Just issued
j by the census bureau. It shows what
. Republicans and a protective tariff
' have done for the state and its wage
; workers through the development of
its iron and steel industry. The re
port says:
Pennsylvania's place as the leader in
this industry is thus shown by the re
port. Of the total capital reported for
active establishments in 1900, namely,
$590,530,3S4, Pennsylvania contributed
$321,985,659, or considerably over one
half, as compared with $226,294,407 in
1890 (total $414,044,844), still over one
half, and $102,956,223 in 18S0 (total
$209,904,965), a little less than one
half. The average number of wage-earners
employed in the whole country in 1900
was 222.607, who were paid wages
amounting to $120,836,338. Of these to
tals Pennsylvania gave work to 110,864
wage earners, almost one-half of the
total reported, paying them $61,908,405,
or over one-half of the wages paid in
this industry in the United States.
In 1900 the cost of all materials used
by iron and steel establishments. In
cluding freight charges, amounted to
$322,431,701. Pennsylvania's contribu
tion to this total was $283,142,785, con
siderably more than the total cost re
ported by all the other states in the
union. In 1S90 the amount reported
by Pennsylvania for cost of materials
was $180,220,237, compared with $327.
272.845 for the whole country, and in
1S80 it was $92,267,030, compared with
$191,271,150 for all the states.
The value of the iron and steel pro
ducts reported by Pennsylvania in 1900
was $434,445,200, compared with $804,
034,918 for the United States, or 54
per cent of the total value reported.
In 1S90 the figures for Pennsylvania
were $264,571,624. and for the whole
country they were $478,687,519. Penn
sylvania's contribution amounting to
55.3 per cent., slightly more than in
1900. In 1880 the value of the pro
ducts made by iron and steel establish
ments in Pennsylvania was $145,576,
2C8, as compared with $296,557,685 re
ported by the United States, the pro
portion of Pennsylvania being 49.1 per
cenL
That New Party In Pittsburg.
Republicans throughout the state
would have considerable more inter
est in the so-called "Ballot Reform
Party," organized in Pittsburg last
week, if it were headed by men of re
sponsibility. The fact is that this or
ganization has been formed to be used
as a club by some politicians in Pitts
burg. It is not entitled to the consid
eration of anybody, under the circum
stances. There is a big fight going on
in Pittsburg and this alleged "Ballot
Reform Party" is only another and
newer phase of the Pittsburg row. It
is to be used against the regular Re
publican state ticket.
