The speaker of the day was William A. Wilcox, of Scranton, whose wife is a daughter of the late Steuben Jenkins, the historian. Concerning the surrender of Jenkins Fort, the late Mrs.

G. M. Rich art, a member of the Jenkins family, writes as follows in a series of papers on 'Traditions of Fort Jenkins:" "Fort Jenkins, being ieft without adequate defense when the invaders demanded a surrender, capitulated, making terms with Captain Caldwell. The place then became the stage of action for the antics and caprice of the savages and a scene of tragedy and woe for the Inmates. The Indians, upon taking possession, conducted themsflves as only savages could.

They seized all the provisions they could find, destroyed everything, tearing open the feather beds and scattering the feathers to the sportive winds, while the squaws disported themselves in the most barbarous merriment. Attiring themselves in the bonnets and other finery of the prisoners and mounted on horseback with their backs to the horse's head, they would perform all sorts of mocking antics in the presence of the victims of their mirth. The prisoners were marshaled out two and two and searched 'for valuables; all clothing was taken from them except two garments each. The women were allowed a chemise and a petticoat. If one pinned a kerchief about her neck or tried in any way to improve her personal appearance, all articles regarded as superfluous would be snatched away by the squaws, while they tauntingly laughed in derision.

When the prisoners were marched out Airs. lydia Jenkins put a sun bonnet on her son Thomas, who was ixteen years of age and dressed in woman's clothes lest he should be killed if they knew him to be a male. Elizabeth, wife of John Gardner, had some silver teaspoons it her pocket. During the search she stood next behind Captain Harding, who wore leather knee breeches. After the Captain had been searched she adroitly slipped the precious spoons inside his waistband unobserved by her captors.

The Captain looked around, saw who it was that was making him guardian of treasure, and prudently made no sign. The spoons were handed down to a granddaughter of Elizabeth, Mrs. Catherine Gardner Polen, of West Pittston, who regarded them as precious relics. They were of rude hammered manufacture and quite small." WEST PITTSTON IN HISTORY (Continued from Page One.) Everett was built by Abel C. Thompson, who was an editorial writer on the Gazette during the Civil War.

The R. D. Lacoe Estate hou. corner of Exeter and Linden suveis, was built by George Shetland, un Wyoming avenue, the K. J.

Ross residence was built by John Love, the Charles H. Cool residence by William Ferguson, the house of George M. Sax by himself, und the residence of Charles H. Campbell by himself. The first store building erected in the borough is that on Exeter street, at the end of Wyoming avenue, now owned and occupied by T.

Wilbur Kyte. This building was erected by Samuel Price, one of the pioneer residents of the borough, who owned an extensive plot of ground on the upper side of Exeter street, extending from the alley below the Kyte store to the G. A. Wilde property, inclusive. Mr.

Price conducted a store in the building for several years, as also did Smith Sutherland and G. B. Rom mell, and the business was finally transferred to Mr. Kyte, who has had possession since 1S73. The comparative lateness of the set.

tlement of West Pittston was not without good results. Modern Ideas had come into vogue, and the borough had the benefit of them. The West Pittston Land Association provided for a vacant strip of land along the. river bank, which, with its grass plots and trees, adds greatly to the attractiveness of the towp. Then, modern architecture had arisen and money was flowing more freely than in the pioneer days.

West Pittston, therefore, takes pride in a number of costly residences of stately design, while It is doubtful if there can be found anywhere a town with dwellings in general so attractive and convenient. The. custom Of lining up residences a short distance back from the sidewalk line, leaving space for grass plots in front, has had a large influence In making the town so charming in appearance. The early residents also set a splendid example that has been tiite generally followed In planting shade trees generously. All of these things have combined to give an artistic touch to our beautiful residence town and have aroused a commendable spirit of pride on the part of the inhabitants in the appearance of their homes.

West Piitston borough, in general, is now well built up. There are comparatively few vacant lots in the upper and central portions of the borough, and these are rapidly being taken by prospective builders. The extreme! lower part of "the borough, consisting of lands owned by the Lehigh Valley Coal was withheld from the market for many years, but within a few years has been offered for sale in single lots, with the result that a start has been made to build upon them. The borough is experiencing a steady growth In population, und It Is not unwise to predict that the coming decade will witness a marked change in the appearance of the Lehigh Valley plot. Those citizens who have erected homes In the lower end are of a progressive spirit and their dwellings and grounds are of the same attractive style that has become characteristic of the.

older sections of the town. The spirit of enterprise and Improvement was never more marked among the officers and citizens of the borough than It Is today, and many people are anticipating that a permanent Town Improvement organization will be one of the most desirable outgrowths of the pub. lie spirit aroused by the celebration of the borough's Golden Jubilee.

The equipment was also supplemented by the addition of 500 feet of fire hose about this time. The borough is equipped with the Gamewell Fire Alarm system, this being established by the borough in June, 1893, and it has proved decidedly effective. The borough has been visited by several severe fires during the past few years and upon such occasions the local firemen have performed to such advantage as to secure the distinct favor and high praise of the public. It was the hose racing team that brought the company into national repute and earned for the athletes of West Pittston a well deserved reputation throughout the country. This team was captained throughout its existence by George X.

Lewis and for four consecutive years won the State hose racing championship. The organization of the team was effected in the summer of 1811, and in September of that year, Its first victory, at the Wyoming Fair, followed. Later the team won at Dallas. Scranton and Carbondale. also the State championships at Reading, Xorristown.

Scranton and Hazleton, besides many minor races. The hose team, throughout its career, while races of this character were in vogue, never lost a hose race, its only defeat being at Xorristown in a 200 yard hub race. The members who composed the first team, and who were the nucleus of the team during its existence were Captain Lewis, Williams, Adams, Searle, Courtright, Campbell, Cook, Barber, RatclifCv. Bryden. Polen, Dendle'; Stanton, Richards, Davis, Thomas and Barrett.

The team's most meritorious performance was the winning of the championship of America at Coney Island. Here, on August 17, 1893, this organization of fleet footed runners, against the fiercest competition 16 of the best teams in the United States and Canada being represented won the 300 yards hose race in 45 1 5 seconds, entitling the West Pittston Hose Co. to the championship of all America. When hose racing ceased to be a popular athletic sport the local team disbanded, but its enviable records, will, stand, lasting and secure. The company is now a well uniformed organization.

The first uni forms were secured shortly aftfr or ganization. They, consisted of a cream colored shirt, belt and cap. Later, the long mouse colored coat was added and later the color of those was changed. This style of uniform prevailed until the present handsome blue uniform was adopted. The hose company has always been a self supporting institution, both by titles and by its earnings.

Since 1894, when the company secured its first ti am of horses, they have been used for general teaming purposes, the driver, who is employed by the company, looking after this branch of work. Since sprinkling of the streets was instituted, the company has conducted this and the revenue received from these sources has ever been sufficient to keep it in high financial The enrollment of the company now includes 132 members, 90 of these being in good standing and the remainder life members. George Dendle is president of the organization, while William A. Francis Is the efficient foreman. George W.

Stanton holds the office of fire chief of the borough. Following is a list of the other officers of the company: Vice president, Byron J. Lewis; secretary, Harry F. Kil lian; assistant secretary, William McFeterich; treasurer, Clarence Ber lew; assistant foreman, Robert Xau gle; engineer, Harry Keller; board of directors, George Dendle, Harry Keller, John Scureman, William McFeterich, Clarence Berlow, George Stanton, William Francis, H. F.

Killlan. L. L. Brlttain, John. Oberdorfer, Charles Mahler, John Scrimgeottr.

The equipment, the home and tho general affairs of the organization are now in an excellent state. Assisted, as it has ever been, by an appreciative and generous public and the efficient heads of the borough government, the future of the West Pittston Hose Co. appears distinctly iniglit.

At a meeting of the Irish parliamentary party in the house of commons it was decided to fight the government both in the house and iu the constituencies in ordei to punish the Liberals for falling to give Ireland home rule. In the house of commons the Nationalists will take their first revenge by opposing the army bill, the most important measure the government now has before the house, and tbey will also raise the question of the establishment of an Irish university on the discussion of the appropriation for Queen's college, Dublin, in the Irish estimates.

The logs were about IS or 20 feet long and placed in a ditch of sufficient depth, four feet, to stand against anything that could be brought by the enemy against ft; the corner so constructed as to rake anything on the outside of the fort that should attempt to assail it. The logs were placed so as to lap and were) sharpened at the top. It is probable, that, as in Pittston fort, across the river, they were fastened together with pins stiffened by horizontal timbers pinned to the uprights inside. It was completed and every man to his work." "In May," Elisha Harding continues, "the people thought best to repair to the fort for safety.

Those who went to the Jenkins fort were the Jenkinses. William 'Martin, Captain Stephen Harding, Benjamin Harding, Stukeley Harding, James Hadsall, Samuel Morgan, Stephen Harding, Ichabod Phelps, Miner Bobbins, John Gardner and Daniel Carr." To which list Mr. Wilcox adds the names or some of the others, to wit: Ebenezer Reynolds, the boy Rogers, aged 12; the boy, John Hadsall, Daniel Wallen or Weller and Joel Roberts. John Gardner, Stephen Harding and doubtless others were accompanied by wives and children. Of those named Miner Robbins, John Gardner, Daniel Weller, James Hadsall, James Had sell, Daniel Carr, Benjamin Harding and WHHam Martin were, among others, either killed or taken prisoners before the second of July.

Others had been wounded and when the time for defense came the fort was practically defenseless for want of a garrison. The enemy, about 1,100 In number, encamped the night of the first of July on the mountain and parties from the camp passed in and out of Winter moot. The following day Fort Win termoot was occupied without resistance and became Major Butler's headquarters, a purpose for which it was possibly originally designed. The same afternoon Butler sent a flag to Jenkins' fort, "demanding a surrender thereof." Captain and Esquire Jenk jns met Butler and, there being but five able bodied men and two old men and three boys left in the fort and the Indians in possession of Winter moot, it was thought most avisable to surrender on the following conditions: That nothing should be taken from the inhabitants of the fort, except such things as were wanted for the army and those to be paid for; the inhabitants to have liberty to return home and occupy their farms in peace but not to take up arms during the war. The fort was taken possession of by a Captain Colwell.

The next morning, the third of July, they set about demolishing the fort. Miner, the historian, the following as the articles of capitulation: "Fort Jenkins Fort, July 1, 1778. "Between Major John Butler, on behalf of his Majesty, King George III, and John Jenkins. "Arts. That the fort, with all the stores, arms and ammunition be delivered up immediately.

'II, That Major John Butler shall preserve to them, entire, the lives of the men, women and children." John Jenkins, for whom Jenkins' Fort was named, was born of Quaker ancestry in Kingston, R. Feb. 6, 1727 or 8. He seems to have been among the early members of the Connectlcut Susquehanna having in November or early in December, 1754, purchased what was apparently a second share. From the fact that he was in the company so early and that his money was paid to the secretary instead of to one of the committees, it is inferred that he was among its organizers.

The records of the company show John Jenkins to have been frequently appointed on its most important committees. Here in Wyoming he was also prominent. He was selectman and listener; was member from Westmoreland of the Connecticut assembly five terms; was on a committee of three to repair to each town and lead them to choice of officers, one of the school committee; on committee to mark a road from the Delaware to the Susquehanna; was appointed by the Connecticut legislature, first county judge of Westmoreland. He was first of Kingston township and held a lot about where Forty Fort cemetery now is and he became one of the organizers of the new town of Exeter. In the allotment of lands in Exeter, Judge Jenkins drew the lot including the spot on which a fort was built and here his home was established.

We have already seen how the fort was built about his house, how, in the hopelessness of resistance it was surrendered and how, on the morning of that fateful July 3, it was destroyed. Ho set out on July 6 with his family and some of their neighbors on foot for Connecticut but returned soon to Wyoming. Early in 1779 he joined his family in New London county, Connecticut, and remained with them until the autumn of 1782, when they returned to their former home in Exeter. A word with reference to the subsequent history of the site seems appropriate; Judge Jenkins died before the passage of the Compromise act of 1799. It is probable that he would never haveacknowledged Pennsylvania's right by taking title under her." His children, however, appear to have received certificates from the commissioners for portions of his land here, this particular part going, I understand, to Thomas.

From Thomas It passed to his own grandson, Amos York Smith. Mr. Smith owned it un. til 1857 when It became the property of Ralph D. Lacoe and others, and from them Mr.

Lacoe, Theo. Strong and the estate of R. J. Wlsner Dial Rock chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, secured title by gift in 1900. The site of Fort Jenkins is marked In a sultuble way with a monument erected by Dial Rock Chapter.

Boise, June 12.

The attack of the Haywood defense on the testimony of Harry Orchard goea on unremittingly, aud the witness will probably be continued on the stand two full days more. Orchard withstands the strain with remarkable fortitude and at the end of six days shows no indication of mental or physical flagging. It began with the dynamiting of Fred Bradley in San Francisco. The defense made a long and determined effort to expose several features of it to doubt and improbability and to vitiate it all by revealing the hand of the Pinker tons. Then the play went back to Denver for the winter of 1904 05 and the spring that followed, aud there was an extended effort to show that Orchard had practically no communication with the leaders of the federation, that he received no pay for the Bradley crime or anything else and that with Steve Adams in a period of extreme poverty extending over a period of several months he was reduced to the necessity of stealing a sheep from the Globeville stockyards that he might have food.

Admits Ho Stole Sheep. Orchard to a laughing courtroom confessed that he stole the sheep, but stoutly denied that it was because of want. He insisted that all through that supposedly hard winter and spring he continued to draw mouey from Pettibone through Adams and explained that if he did not see the federation leaders often it was because he was "lying low to avoid capture." The Globeville inquiry developed another shocking crime. At this Denver suburb there was a diabolical plot Orchard swore it was inspired by Max Malich; the defense claimed that Orchard was its author to dynamite a boarding house where 1.10 nonunion men lived, and in preparation for this murder Orchard, Adams and a mau named JOe Mahalich broke into two magazines and stole 600 pounds of dynamite, which they lugged home at night and buried in their cellars. The clime was abandoned.

Orchard said, iu one of those flushes that make bis testimony remarkable, because Haywood iutencued and, forbade him to have anything to do with it. Haywood Wanted Hearno Killed. Mr. Hichardsou next devoted himself to the proposed assassination of Frank II on rue of the Colorado Fuel and Irou company. Orchard testified that Haywood asked hint to kill Hearue because he was opposed to union labor.

Attorney Richardson asked Orchard if had not heard and read of a debate between Haywood and Hearne before state senate committee. The attorney, in response to an objection from the prosecution, said the question was intended to show that it was entirely possible for Orchard to have learned what Haywood bad said of Hearne to the latter' face rather than to have heard It from Haywood himself. The question was allowed, aud Orchard said lie knew Haywood was at the capitol frequently, but he did not know what he was doing there. Implicates Haywood. Carrying out the lines of testimony tending to show that Orchard, regardless of the great hold which it is presumed he had on the federation leaders, was frequently without fuuds, the defense showed that from late In 1903 until the middle of 1904 Orchard continually drew strike relief supplies at Cripple Creek and then dramatically Invited Orchard to explain the Inconsistency to the Jury.

Orchard replied that Hay wood, Moyer, Tinker aud Davis all advised him to draw the supplies because if he displayed money he would excite suspicion. The examination next reviewed the earlier attempt on' Governor Peabody and the making of the bombs to kill him and the plots against Judges Gnb bert and Goddard with an effort everywhere to lighten and cast doubt upon the testimony. Orchard told a dramatic story of the first attempt to assassinate Peabody an early morning drive through the snow to place the bomb and a wait for the victim, who was spared by the unexpected appearance of two coal wagons, which, coming from an alley way, were driven across the trigger striug at the moment that Peabody was crossing the mine. Mrs. Adams a Blind.

Orchard also brought Mrs. Steve Adams Into the play. He said that while he and Adams were watching Judge Goddard's house Mrs. Adams weut with them a couple of times as a blind to divert susplclou from them. Mrs.

Adams, who had a seat among the witnesses, laughed when Orchard told the incident. Asked why he wanted to kill Goddard, Orchard said It was because Haywood told him to. Haywood said Goddard was against the eight hour law and helped upset It. Assembly Amends the Green Bill. Albany, N.
