FLEMING OF CHESTER COUNTY. the sketch of this family, I will only follow the one that I happen to have some data of, two or three of whom married into a prominent Lancaster county family. In my progress I may find some links missing and probably will be unable to pick them up and complete the chain. The readers of Notes and Queries are welcome to what I have, and must accept what I give them. I.

WILLIAM FLEMING. native of Greenock, Scotland, had an uncle who was a sea-faring man and owned one or more vessels, in which he took merchandise of a miscellaneous character to America, and brought cargoes of tobacco and wheat on his return voyage to Scotland. Upon one occasion, when this uncle arrived at Greenock, his nephew, William, then a minor, went down to the vessel to see him. The former persuaded him to make a voyage to America and help to work the ship and see the new country. I am unable to state whether the young man's parents were living and gave their consent to his projected voyage or whether he ran away from home.

In due time the vessel arrived in Chesapeake bay at the commencement of harvest time in the latter part of about the year 1680. His uncle persuaded him to go ashore and help the farmers with their harvest, and said it would be a month or more before he would be ready to sail for Scotland. William began to work for 8 farmer, and while thus engaged the vessel sailed without him. He then discovered that his uncle had bound bim as a servant to the farmer for a eriod of four years. He did not grieve, but made the beet of his surrounding circumstances, and served the farmer faithfully during the term of his indenture.

The country along the Chesapeake WAS poor and indifferent crops raised, and at the expiration of his term I dad that he wended his way to the Delaware river. After going from the settlement of the Swedes, near Christina creek, to Naaman's creek, he found employment in the family of Richard Moore, an Englishman. This place is now ia Concord township, Delaware He had not been in this family long when he and Mary Moore, the er of Mr. Moore, formed an attachment for each other and were married. Sev ral ch ldren were born to them there.

In 1714 moved with his family up the great Chester Valley, and settled in what ia now East Cala township, at or near the present thriving toWn of Coatesville. His first survey is dated May 29, 1714, and was for two hundred and seven acres, He erected his dwelling where Houston and Penrose's rolling mill stande, along Braody wine creek. One of the firat, things he did after the erection of his dwelling to plant an orchard of apple an 1 pear trees. In 8 short time after his first purchase he added thereto two hundred acres, and gradually kept purchasing several other tracts of land in Sadsbury and West Cain townshipe, on both sides of the west branch of Brandywine creek. He was industrious and saving.

William Fleming died in the year 1733, in the prime of life. He left surviving him the following children: i. John. ii. William.

iii Henry. iv George. James. vi. Peter.

vii Mary, m. Daniel Cowan. viti. Susanna, m. William Cowan.

GEORGE FLEMING, 800 of William Fleming, became the owner of two hundred and thirty acres of land in West Caln. In 1744 he built upon this land a water, cora and grist mill. He died single. His land descended to his nephew, James Fleming, the son of his brother, John, then deceased, PETER FLEMING'S 8008 moved to Washington county, Pa, during the Revolution, and their father at the close of the war, when over ninety years of age, also removed to that county. JAMES FLEMING, son of.

William, died on his farm in Salisbury township, Lancaster county, May 3, 1767, aged 64 years, and is buried in Upper Octoraro, Chester county, Pa. He left a son John, who was born in 1731. He was known as John Fleming, senior, and resided on his farm a little west of Coatesville. He was an officer in the Provincial service, member of the Constitutional Convention of 1776 and member of the Assembly in 1778 from Chester county. He was one of the patentees of Octoraro church, of which Are was AD elder in 1762, and served in that capacity for fifty-two years: He died September, 1814, aged eighty-three years.

JOHN FLEMING, son of the above, wag wagon master in the Revolutionary War, and was present at the battle of Brandywine. He was also 30 elder of Octoraro church from 1799 to time of his death in 1832. He and his father served as elders together fifteen years. Another son of John Fleming, Was the ancestor of John Fleming, who was for many years associate judge of Lycoming county, and of General Robert Fleming, Williamsport, a leading lawyer, member of the State Senate and a member of the Constitutional tion of 1838. The late Henry Fleming, of West Chester, was the soa of John Fleming, and was born in Sadsbury township, Chester county.

He volunteered 88 captain in the war of 1812, and was under the command of General Brown, in the campaign in Canada, and participated in some of the hottest battles of the war. He was captured and taken to Quebec, was a prisoner of war for eighteen months, where he suffered great hardships. He Was currier by trade; but for many years after the war of 1812 and nearly up to the time of his death in 1865 was a Justice of the Peace in West Chester. He was 82 years of age when he died. He married Letitia Parke, daughter of Joseph Parke, of Sadsbury, Chester county.

She died in 1858, aged 80 years. They left children: i. Soon who, if living, resides in Iowa. ii. Fubius who resides in the State of Washington.

iii. Caroline; who, if living, resides in West Chester. iv Marcellus. Lucretia. I met Henry Fleming, nearly sixty years ago, and was intimate with the two sons first- named, who were in business in Columbia, in 1847.

The father and sons were unusually large and finely formed men, all over six feet tall, and weighed over two hundred pounds. They sons of Selon and Fabius were Union off were men af the el strictest integrity. The cere in the late war. GEORGE FLEMING, 800 of John Fleming, resided in West Brandywine, Chester county. JOHN FLEMING, grandson of William Fleming, married Mary Slaymaker, daughter of the Hon.

Henry Slaymaker, who was president judge of the Common Pleas Court in Lancaster county, at the close of the Revolutionary war, and 8 sister of the la'e Hon. Amos Slaymaker, who had been a member of the Assembly and State ate, and who was a member of Congress from Lancaster county in 1811-12. Mary Slaymaker Fleming Wag bora June 15, 1757, and died April 1, 1797. A number of relatives of the Fleming family, of which I write, went to Cum berland county. Mifflia county, and to Fleming county, Kentucky.

JAMES FLEMING, a grandson of William Fleming, the pioneer settler, who resided in Caln or Sadebury, Chester county, married Jane Cowan November 10, 1756. On August 20, 1771, he purchased a farm of one hundred and fifty -one acres of land in Salisbury towoship, Lancaster county and in 1775 he ourchased fifty acres adjoining it. Tais land laid along the old Lancaster and Philadelphia road, adjoining the lands of Cowan, et al. about the center of the township. James Fleming died in 1778.

I think he was killed in battle during the Revolutionary war, when serving a tour of duty in New Jersey. He wrote to his family, and entrusted the letter to Amos Slaymaker, who was also a soldier, and about to return to Salisbury towaship. When he delivered the letter to Mrs. Fleming, he met their daughter Isabella, whom Mr. Slaymaker afterwards married.

-Owing to the frequent demand for copies of the Original, the First and the Second Series of Notes and Queries, the Harrisburg Publishing Company proposes issuing a limited edition of the same for subscribers only. The Original Series was never printed in pamphlet form. These consisted of forty-two numbers. The First and Second Series, owing to their exceeding rarity, are not obtainable at any price, there being not more than half dozen complete copies in existence. These being the repository of much data relating to the early history, biography and genealogy of the interior counties of Pennsylvania not elsewhere to be found, the proposition will undoubtedly be received with pleasure.

The publication will comprise two quarto volumes of about 500 pages each, and the price fixed is $10 for the set. Address Harrisburg Publishing Company.

It Will Be a Credit to the City 1 and Fur- nish the Comforts of Home to Many Worthy Working -A Useful and Prosperous Organization. Everybody has heard and read of the Young Men's Christian association for lo, these many years, but it may surprise some readers to learn that there is a Young Woman's Christian association, and that it has done a splendid work, especially in Chicago. It seems to be taken by common consent that there is more need of that particular kind of work in Chicago than in any other American city in proportion to the population. The city is so new, so rapid in its growth and so aggressive, having also the most mixed population of any American city, that there is special need of a home and central agency for women, and just now the good ladies in charge are feeling especially elated over their new and commodious building, which is rising at 228 Michigan avenue on the site of the somewhat historic John B. Drake mansion.

It was in 1872 that the first Young Woman's Christian association was formed, but it was not till 1886 that it became an international affair. There are now in this country over 300 associ- CHICAGO'S NEW Y. W. C. A.

BUILDING. ations and 19 fully organized state associations. In Chicago the order has a main home temporarily at 291 Michigan avenue, another at 5718 Kimbark avenue, a home for transients at 367 Jackson boulevard and an employment bureau at 243 Wabash avenue, all of which are to be concentrated in the new building, which is also to be a woman's hotel and boarding house. The lot was bought of the Drake estate in 1886 for $40,000 and is now worth much more and is 80 by 161 feet in area. It will all be covered by the new seven story building, of which the front will be of raindrop brownstone in the basement and above that fire pressed 1 brick, ornamented with terra cotta.

The entrance will be through an ornate portal, with marble steps. To the right as one enters will be the library and to the left the reception room and parlor. Back of the entrance hall the gymnasium is to extend the full length of the basement, and the rest of that floor will be taken by the dining room and kitchen. On the next floor above is the assembly hall, with seats for 600 and extending through two stories, and back and above that will be library, dispensary, lodging and other rooms. The interior will be finished throughout in hard woods and all the building well lighted and warmed.

It is a surprise to learn that with all this the charge for board and room, light and heat included, will only be from $3.50 to $5 per week, the difference being only in the location of the rooms, of which there will be 250. And yet the ladies in charge expect the institution to be self supporting after the first year. The building will cost $125,000 and the furnishing probably $30,000. The work of the association is meant to be altogether preventive. "We do not," says Mrs.

Leander Stone, the president, "wait until they go over the precipice and the ambulance comes with clanging bell, attracting the attention of the world. Indeed our work is so quiet very little is known of it." In the constitution adopted 18 years ago it is declared that: The object of the association shall be to promote the moral, religious, intellectual and temporal welfare of women, especially women who are dependent upon their own exertions for support, a part of this work to consist in organizing homes and securing employment for self supporting girls and those endeavoring to become such, and furnishing medical aid through a well regulated dispensary. The association has agents, who meet all trains coming from a distance and passenger steamers during the season and direct all women traveling alone to safe lodging and boarding houses and give all desired information about connecting trains, suggest economical methods of transferring baggage and in' all ways assist those who are confused on arrival in a strange city. These agents tell many interesting stories of their encounters with a certain sort of women who seek their prey at the great railroad stations. In the year 1893 they guided some 6,000 persons aright and rescued many young girls who had already been taken in charge by female harpies.

The cosmopolitan character of the human inflow to Chicago appears in the fact that the women thus cared for were from 24 states and territories, from 12 European nations and from Canada and Asia.

The parade broke into a disordered mass, hastening toward the band. The boys' brigade, the center of the mass, illumined with their flaring torches the wash and restless surge of humanity. From every direction streams of men debouched into the main street like a spring overflow. Women and children lined the sidewalks. "Who done it shouted furlous voices.

"Some damn Dimblebat, of course." "Where is he?" "Clark run 'im into the jail." "Where's Willey? Is he livin'?" "Yes. He's in the drug store." Then a sort of silence fell on the crowd. They stood in dense groups surrounding some eyewitness of the shooting. From time to time news emanated from the drug store. "He's bad.

They've sent for his wife." Then the talk would go back to the prisoner. "What in God's heavens any man has against Frank Willey I don't see." A carriage drove up through the crowd with a woman in it. The moaning hysterical sobs went to the heart like the thrust of a jagged knife. They stood aside in awe of her grief as she was hurried into the store by two men. "My God! Just think what's on her!" was the universal comment of the crowd surged against the door.

"Stand back there! Don't crowd-" There came a piercing shriek that made every man shiver as if an icy blast had blown on his naked heart. Then the word came out and was flung from lip to lip. "He's dead!" "What? No!" dead! He didn't know her." Few questioned it, coming after 1 the wife's Men stood staring into each others' faces and swearing great oaths, helplessly. "Frank Willey dead!" sobbed one great bearded fellow, his voice high and broken. "Why, God, gentlemen, he stood right here ten minutes ago I had my hand on his shoulder." Nobody laughed at his -there were too many with tears on their cheeks.

Everybody knew the captain; everybody had felt the pressure of his hand. Some had been his comrades in the war. Some of the young fellows were in the militia which he commanded-all loved him. The street grew darker as the torches went out. The crowd again broke into knots.

"He ought to hang tomorrow morning," was a remark made here and there. "We ought to 'a' lynched him when we had him." Mrs. Willey, in that utter despair which is like the surrender of life, was away. men silently looked on. carried to the hack and taken mine But as the carriage disappeared up the street, a crowd of men came out of a saloon, and there arose a strident, overtopping, ferocious voice in a farreaching howl.

"Every man that's got any sand, foller "Where to?" "To the jail to hang that-" Scores of voices replying cut off his terrible oaths. "That's right. The jail. Smash it in!" "Come on, you cowards!" swift current, the "pack" of men beLike a mass of logs let loose in a gan to move down the street toward the jail. As they moved they gathered strength.

Each man seeing his neighbor moving moved with less fear. A sort of inhuman joy and elation came into their souls; many of them felt like singing as they marched. Dan and Annie were standing on the steps of the jail, listening. "There's no telling what they'll do," he was saying as he heard some of the wild voices. They heard a new sound -a chorus of savage shouts.

The trample of feet grew plainer and more rapid, beating the frozen ground and the hollow sidewalk till an ominous roar.arose. "They're comin', Dan." Annie turned her resolute face to her husband. "They're after him." "They won't get 'im. I won't open up Listen to that, will ye?" The roar came nearer, and the shouts now took shape. "Bring a rope-a rope!" "We'll hang 'im right now." That terrible voice seemed to Inflame the whole mob, as a raucous snarl of tiger rouses the beasts of a managerie to primitive ferocity.

"Now, Annie," said Dan, "you go in and-" "But you're goin' to need me out here, Dan. I'd rather be out here with you." "Annie," said Dan, quietly, "go inside. Lock all the doors. Lock this door behind me and hide the keys. I'll stand right here alone." "All right, Dan," she replied without a quaver.

"But I'm afraid-" "Don't open the doors for anything or anybody till morning-not even to me." His voice had a peculiar inflexible quality. "I don't need any help." She knew him in these moods. "All right, Dan. It's your duty." After she went in and shut the door behind her, Dan put his ear to the door till he heard the bolt slide to with a click, and the chain rattle into place. Then he took out his revolvers, examined them as well as he in the shadow, and calmiy waited the approaching crowd.

Suddenly the city marshal dashed up. "Dan, they're comin'!" "Let 'em come, Joe. We're here Arst." "'They're goin' to lynch 'im." "Not while I stand here." "But we can't stand out against the whole county, Dan." whole county ain't here." "Yes, they are. They've telephoned the news all over the county and teams are pouring in. Some o' the best men in this town are in that mob, Dan-lawyers and-" "Can't help it.

You stand right here-" "0, I can't do that. I dassn't do that." "All right, I'll do it alone." "But, Dan, they'll-" "What?" asked Dan, coldly. "They're wild. You better open the door-" "Open nawthin'. Get out o' here, you white-livered skunk." The crowd turned in at the gate, hooting like demons, and Joe flittered along the shadow of the jail wall and disappeared, to be seen no more that night.

As those in advance came up, they saw Dan standing in the shadow grimly. "That you, Dan?" "It's me. What y' want?" "Want that man," burst from several throats, as if they already smelled op position from Dan. "Open the door, Mr. Sheriff." "I won't do it." "Then we'll smash it down." "That's the talk.

Smash it down!" "What y' think y'r doin'?" asked Dan. "We're going to hang that damn Dimblebat, that killed Willey." "Not to-night." "Right now. Open that door!" "Now just hold on half-4-second," said Dan, coolly. "Smash 'im lip," yelled a voice farther back in the throng, which was packing denser each minute. Dan's blood began to stir.

"I'm the sheriff of this county. That man was put into my hands for safekeeping, and, by the Great Eternal! he's goin' to stay there." "Don't be a fool. You can't stand out against this mob." "I don't know the man's guilty-" "I do! I saw him shoot!" shouted score of voices in reply. don't care if the man bad killed ten men, it's my duty to keep the door of this jail shut." "You'd better open-" Again that strident, far-reaching, inflaming voice arose: "Throw him out of the A small section of the advancing line made a movement upon the sheriff. right there.

I give you notice I mean business. I'll let the moonlight through the first man that "HALT! STOP RIGHT THERE!" raises his hand. Now you hear mel" They halted abruptly. Dan continued: "This lynchin' has got to stop, in this county, Anyway. The whole state is disgraced by 'em.

This man has got to be The dim moon slanted down the roof and fell upon the steady barrel of the revolver. Dan spoke from the shadow, but those nearest caught glimpses of his glowing eyes. The mob numbered thousands now, A wild sight--but in of the sheriff was blind, unreasoning courage. He set his teeth so tight his muscles quivered. He felt a massive joy in holding that vast flood of men at arm's length alone.

He represented law and order. Those nearest him plead: "Stand out o' the way, Dan Don't be a fool kill ye, sure!" "I take some of 'em with me" 17as his grim reply. BE CONTINUED.J A FORTUNATE SHOT.

The Dexter rifle company had some crack shots in it, and as a part of the exercises in honor of the governor's coming, they were marched out for target practice. As they made some excellent hits (the figure of an Indian being set up for a mark) the governor expressed his pleasure in their proficiency, and said loud enough for the men to hear: "Now, I would like to see your very best marksman try his skill." In the company was a man noted for at ever being able to hit anything, and at once, in a spirit of deviltry, the cry ran along the line repeating his name in answer to the governor's call.

Without flinching stepped six paces to the front and saluted. "Where do you want me to hit him, governor?" he asked with perfeot composure. "Just at the bottom of the left ear, sir," said the chief magistrate, pointing at the mark. right, sir." The soldier raised his gun, shut his eyes and turned his head away as usual, and fired. The men were all on a broad grin at the great joke of the thing, but when the bullet struck the mark whittling off a piece of the Indian's left ear, there was a shout that could be heard all over the township.
