FREELAND TRIBUNE. VOL. VIII. NO. 85. VALLEY'S HALF CENTURY DETAILED HISTORY OF A GREAT RAILROAD COMPANY. Tomorrow Will He the Golden Jubilee of the Incorporation of the Lehigh Val ley Railroad, Which Was Fir*t Known as the I>elawar, Lehigh and Schuylkill. The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary to morrow, but no official notice of this golden jubilee will be taken by the com pany. This railroad, says the Philadel phia Press , has grown from a small beginning to a position of Importance and now has branches extending east, west and north from the line which was originally laid out. The company has now a direct line of Its own from Jersey City to HiifTalo, besides numerous exten sions into tho anthracite coal fields. Recently tho company has acquired sev eral lines in New York state, which gives it an outlet to Lake Ontario. The charter for the construction of a railroad from Easton to Mahoning Creek, near Mauch Chunk, was granted by the legislature April 21, 18-16, to the Dela ware, Lehigh and Schuylkill Railroad Company. At this time it was the in tention of the projectors of the road to extend the line virtually into the Schuyl kill coal region. The company also had a right to build across the river at Easton to Phillipsburg. For some reason the name seemed inappropriate and about 1850 it was changed to the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company. Although the charter was granted in 1840, the road was not opened until September, 1855. During this interval there were several stretches of the road built, but for some reason the road remained unconstructcd considerably longer than it was the in tention of tho projectors. The building of this road created con siderable discussion in and around Mauch Chunk, Easton and Bethlehem. The projectors wore men of prominence, and while Judge Asa Packer was the father of the operation of tho road, James M. Porter, a prominent citizen of Easton, was the first president. For several years most of the work was confined to the operation of the road between tho points set out in the char ter, but as the business increased and a larger field was opened to tho company, the first steps towards branching out and making the road tho system it now is was begun in 18G2, when it subscribed to all the stock of and practically built tho Penn Haven and White Haven Rail road, which extended from Penn Haven to White Haven, a distance of about eight miles. This construction mado a connecting link witli the Beaver Meadow Railroad and Coal Company, which extended from Mauch Chunk to Audenried, twenty-four miles. In 1804 tho Beaver Meadow road was merged into the Lehigh Valley, and in 1806, the Lehigh and Mahanoy, ex tending from Black Crook Junction to Mfc. Carmel about 100 miles, was merged, into the Lehigh Valley system. The road now began to assume large proportions and it was considered one of tho ideal lines of the state. Its earning powers were great and its business was constantly increasing, and in 1808 the Ilazleton Railroad and the Lehigh and Luzerne Railroad, which branched from Penn Haven to the Ilazleton and Black Creek coal fields, wore merged. This gave the company quite an extensive system of lines in the Lehigh coal field and made it one of tho big coal carriers at that time. Previous to 1805 the North Branch Canal Company, which extended from Wllkesbarro to the New York state line, along the Susquehanna river, a distance of 104 miles, was bought, and tho Le high Valley, on the property thus ac quired, constructed the road which is now known as tho Pennsylvania and New York Canal and Railroad Company. In 1871 the Lehigh Valley leased the Morris Canal and Banking Company, at that time doing not only a canal busi ness, but a large banking one as well. The canal extended from Phillipsburg to Jersey City, a distance of about 101 miles. About one year afterward the construction of the Easton and Amboy Railroad, from Phillipsburg to Perth Am boy, was commenced. Tho Lehigh Val ley at that time, as well as now, owned considerable property at Perth Amboy, and had built large wharves at that place. For some time this -extension answered tho purpose, but later the line was extended from South Plain field, on the Easton and Amboy division, to Jor sey City, where the company has a valu able water front. For a number of years the Lehigh Valley Company's only method of reach ing Buffalo was by a connection witli the then New York, Lake Erie and Western, at Say re, but a few years ago it began the operation of its own line in the state of New York from the state line to Buffalo. The company has also under lease tho Lehigh and Now York, in Now York, which is the old Southern Central, extending from the state line at Sayre, through Owego to Fair Haven, on Lake Ontario, a distance of about 110 miles. When the Lehigh Valley began to run trains to and from Buffalo it found that it had a considerable freight business, and to encourago this in 1880 it began the operation of a fleet of vessels on the lakes, which now is composed of four steel steamers and six wooden ones. Within the last year the company has acquired also the Middlesex Valley Rail road, which extends from Geneva into the grape growing district, and the El mira, Courtland and Northern, which is 115 miles long and runs from Elmira through Ithaca, to Camden, on the bor der of the lake. On February 11, 1802, the railroad and other properties of this company, but not the properties of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, were leased for 900 years from December 1, 1801, to the Philadel phia and Reading Company, but this lease terminated August 8, 1803, and the property reverted to tho company. The capita) stock and bonded indebted ness of the company at first was about $3,500,000, and now it is $74,014,000, besides guaranteeing outstanding bonds and stocks of affiliated companies to the amount of $57,190,000. The company now has 085 locomo tives, 16,309 freight cars, 31,920 coal cars, 1,171 passenger and other cars used in conducting tho business of the company. It now has 1,145 miles of single track, 530 miles of second track, which, witli branches and sidings, make a total trackage of 2,490 miles. The Lehigh Valley Coal Company, which is owned entirely by tho Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, was organized January 11, 1891, to initio and sell coal. Since tho company was organized it lias acquired over 100,000 acres of coal laud. Saturday Evening'* IMay. "On Erin's Shores" was presented in an acceptable manner to an audience of moderate size at tho Grand on Saturday evening. The play has lost a great deal of the vim and spirit which charac terized it on its first tour through the region. It differs none in plot from the ordinary run of Irish dramas, and is not of tint kind which will stand tho test of time. In Edmund Moroney the company has a strong actor, who plays the part of a villain to perfection and shares the hon ors with J. W. Reagan, who is making a reputation as a tenor singer. Tho hit ter's voice has improved wonderfully since he sang here before taking to tho stage. Many people wero disappointed at not seeing Ada Oilman, who is a favorite hero and was advertised as one M tho company. Her place lias been filled by Fanny Gonzales, but tlio change Is not an improvement. Tho combination, as a whole, lias several weak spots. Found a Dead Man. While Harry and Frank Webb, of Aroca, were fishing in Monument creek, along the Wilkesbarre and Eastern Rail road, on Friday afternoon, they found the body of a man lying near tho creek. He wore blue clothes and mittens, mak ing it evident that tho body had lain where it was found since winter. It was much decomposed. They saw that the head had been crushed in and then, leaving the body undisturbed, hastened to Avoca. Two men witli a wagon wore sent out for the body, accompanied by a coro ner's jury. Nothing was found on the body to indicate who the dead man was. The police are at work on tiie case. .Singular Cause of a Wreck. Wiiile an eastbound freight train on tho Lehigh Valley was passing Ponobscot on Friday morning a heavy iron bridge girder fell from the ear 011 which it was loaded and landed with ono end on the ground and tho oilier against the body of a box car. The inovomont of the train lifted tho girder from tho ground and threw it against a westbound coal train, where one end lodged crosswise between the cars. In an instant there was a crash and eighteen ears from botli trains wero derailed and badly broken up. The road was blocked for about three hours. There was nobody hurt Truveler. Hull Tonight.

Tiger* and Travelers Give an lOxhiliition Game at the Park YeMterday. Freeland saw its first game of base ball this year yesterday at the Tigers park. The Travelers and Tigers wished to be limbered up before the season proper opened, and for six innings they put a little of all kinds of ball, good, bad and indifferent. The grounds are not yet in condition to give a good exhitition, nevertheless some pretty plays were made. The Tigers, however, were ap parently in better trim to chase the leather, and in the forepart of the game they secured a lead which the Travelers did not overcome. Both clubs had wild pitchers. The score was: TIGERS. I TRAVELERS. R. H.O.A.E. 11. 11. O. A. E.
