Thanking you for past favors, and hoping for a continuance of the same, I am Yours truly, H. Sa Cope, Manager. The formal opening of the York road trolley line last Thnrwlay aft<?rnoou from Philatielphia t<i Jenkintown, was an im¬ portant epoch iu the history of .lenkin¬ town and other towns along the way. The ieetd wirisj having been erected, the com¬ pany lost no time in putting the line in operation. The opening a.tt? looke<l for¬ ward to with much interest by the citi¬ zens generally. It is the general opinion that the line will pay from the start, a.s the low fares and the comparatively quick time made to the citv will dniw a large percentage of people w^ho now use the Keading road. Tl;e regular schedule was iriagiirated on Friday, the trips on Thurstlay afternoon and evening being made principally to test the line. The cold weather has prevented the re¬ construction of the stone bridge over Tacony creek at Ogontz, one end of whieh fell in a short time ago, and, as one track is at the end of the break, it cannot be used until the bridge is repaired. Con¬ sequently, only one track am be ased be¬ tween Ogontz and .lenkintown at present, and cars cannot be run at shorter inter¬ vals than halfau hour. The lirst regular car left the depot, at Eid'th and l>auphin streets, at 2.15 o'cioek, and .Jenkintown shortly after :> o'chxik. llesldent-s of Branehtow n. Fern Rock, Ogor tz and .lenkintown gave it and the suweeding cars a quiet welcome. As several trial trips liave been made over the line, they were not mnch i>f a novel¬ ty, bnt tlie residents showed their appre¬ ciation of the opening of the mad by pat¬ ronizing the cjim at once for business or pleasuie. A number of parties were made lip last evening and rode into the city, and there are already inquiries for special cars for theatre parties or for trolley jiar- tiei to ride over the route. W.tllMEI) HY EI.KtTltIC lIE.\TEa>i. I'ive new cars, jnst received from the builders, have been provide<l for by the line. They are the regular cars use<l on thr People's system and are provided with electric heaters, which warm them com¬ fortably. .Sign boards on the head liear the words ".lenkintown" or "W'alnut street,'' acconling to the direction the cars are travelinj;. There was a little dirt on the tracks Thursday, biit a day's travel will clean the mils and allow tlie' cars to run smoothly. The present terminus isat the northern limit of the lioniidary of Jenkintown, which is aljont 11 miles from Walnut street. I'mler the present scholule the trip in one direction wil! be made in an hour and Vo minute's, or two and a half hours for the round trip, but it is likely that the timt' will 'o»> n-iluewl .tn »n Iwuir each way as soon a? the line is operating smoothly. The fare is five cents to I?ranchtown and tive cents lietween Branchtown and Jenkintown, whicii is ten cents Ik'twetui Wai iut strect and Jenkintfiwn. Pa.-<.sen- gers vill have the privilege of the exten¬ sive <ystem of tninsfers in oiieration op the People's system, and by it a jjersou can travel between Snyder avenue, Fair- mouiit park or other remote points to Branchtown for one fare. The second fare is collecte<l after leaving Branchtown in either direction. Under the present sclietlule tlie (irst I'ar every day will leave Jenkintown at t) o'clock a. III., and afterwards on the hour and lialf hour until 12.:W a. m. The I.Mt car will only run to Eighth and I>auphin streets. The first air {(ir Jen¬ kintown will ieave P'.ighth and Walnut streets about 7.15 a. ni., and every half hour thereafter, which will be quarter be¬ fore and ffuarter after eiu;h hour of the day and evening mitil 11.15 p. m. CO.SSTItfCTIOX OF THE I.I.VE. The now line has been con.structed of the best material and in the tx^t manner, under the «ui>frvision of I,. II. Mclntire, Chief FIngineer and General Manager of the Pci>ple'.-' Tntction company. lyeiiving Germantown avenue, the double track is laid in the middle of the turnpike as far as Hunting park. There the tracks di¬ verge to each side of the ro.id, leaving a splenJidly macadami/.e<l tlrive :!4 feet wide between tliem. Through Branch- town, Ogontz aniiJenkintown the tracks are in the middle of the road, but over the remainder of the route they are laid on the side. Over tlie greater part of the route T rails are usetl, with broken stone lietween the rails. The poles are iron all the wav, and carry the feed cables. The charter is heltl by the Philadelphia, Cheltenham and Jenkintown Passenger Kailway company, and the road is oper¬ ated by the People's Traction company. Caleb F. Fo.f, a meniber of the firm of George .*^. Fox & Sons, brokers, is Presi¬ dent of the Philadelphia, C'lielteuham and Jenkintown Passenger Ilailway com¬ pany, and the firm owns a contn^Uing in¬ terest in the turnpike, letter known as Old York roak, The directors of the Philadelphia, Cheltenham and Jenkin¬ town Passenger Railway company are R. F. Carson, Williani ll. Shelmerdine, J. I.evering Jones. C. F. Fox, E. J. M.it- thews, < Jeorge S. Fox and D. C. Golden. Mr. Shelmerdine is President of the People's Passenger Railway company, and Mesars. Carson, Shelmerdine, ilat- thews and C. F. Fox are directors of the People's Traction comjiany. THROfOIl JE.SKISTOWX BOUOlXiH. Througii the borough of .Jenkintown the franchises are controlled by the .Jen¬ kintown Electric Raiiwav company, the directors of which include the gentlemen named. The tracks are laid to Willow fJrove, but the overhead win« are not up, as it is not the intention of the company to operate the road to Willow Grove until spring. Old York road has many histonc asso¬ ciations. It passes through a beautiful suburban section and the handsome sum¬ mer homes of a numljer of the best-known business men cf the city border the pike all the way to Jenkintown. A substan¬ tial amount of travel is looked for over the electric line in winter, and in summer it is expectetl that it will be one of the raost popular Unea for suburbau riding. The excursion rate from Jenkintown by the Keading railroad is 40 cents, and to this in many cases must be added "20 cCnts for hack fare between Jenkintown and the railroad station. The 20 cents which the trolley line eliarges for the ronnd trip, it Ls thought, -will take many pas-sengers from the steam road. The Tscant Tnuteeship <<f NorrUtown Hoapital. The fact that the affairs ofthe Hospi¬ tal for the Insane mana^s'nent is to be investigated by a Legislative committee will probably delay the appointment of a trustee to succeed Charles Hnnsicker, whose appointment, made by Governor Pattison dnring recess and never con¬ firmed, was amongst those withdrawn bv Governor Hastings. Ex-Trnstee John Siingluff is an applicant for the place and has brought strong influence to bear. Another applicant is John Jones, of Amb¬ ler, who haa the support of manv local politicians. • These jurors have been drawn from Montgomery cotmty for the Cnite<l .States District Court commencing in Philadel¬ phia on Monday, February 18th:—Grand Jury, Jacob L. .Stadelman, Henry G.

It takes pt-ople into the fresh air, and makes their blood pulsate in their veins ; it brings forth many a inxl and smile of recognition as tliey go gliding along ; it brings together fri'cnds widely sepanite<l, and It carries many a merry party to the homes of friend.s, where old acquaintance is renewed and new friendships formtnl. .* bright winter of g<xxl sleighing is vastly different from one of muddy roads,gloomy days and black nights.

The Centre Sqaare Hotel-Tlie Old Wag- gon Tavern-Tltoniaii Fitzwater—.Samuel UeHaveii—Colonel Thomaa Uumphrey. The Centre Sqnare hotel has a history of perhaps a century and a half It is at present a large stone huildinkr, standing Hi the west corner of the crossing of Ihe State road and the Skippack turnpike. It 18 kept aid owned by Albert Mauck, foi merly of Norriutown. Il is the jwlling place ot Whitpain township. The surface hereabouts is ratlur low and level. A brook, calltd Sdver Run by some, flows westward, crossing the turnpike a few yards northwest, liasteniiiK throuBh meadows and fields to its junction with tbe Stony creek, two miles to the north¬ ward. Thia tavern hss bad a long list of own¬ ers, some of whom were notable people. The crossing of two such imt>or!ant roads was tuch to be occupied by an inn in the olden lime. The exact time when it first became a public house is at present Bhrou-led in mystery. Ttie only thing that the writer is certain atiout i!< llmt in 1758 it was marked the '• Waggon" tavern on Scull's map. Probability indicates Ihat it had Leen ojiened several years before Ihat time. Owing to the absence of records we cannot tell who was the owrerof this corner between 1740 and 17tiO. We know that after tlie latter date Lsiwrence Reemy or Kannich was the owner. According to the Whitpain IBX IftKik < f 1761, he rented forty acres at Ihia corner to Thomes Fitzwater, who «as tho luiidlord. Of the farm altaehed, Iwentj-five acres w«re in frest, and only onesDvin to uiuler gnuo. fiizwater kept two horses and two cows. On the ojiposite, or south corner, was a twenty- acre lot leased l»y Rose Fiizwater, widow, to Frederick Karn. All this was cleared of forest except one acr°, and seven acrej were Stjwii to grain. Ile kept two horse? and two cows. R<ise Fitzwater owned the later Dannehower farm, farther southwest, holdiuK ninety acres there. THE KITZW.VTERS. The Fitzwaters were nn Eii^lith family, and among the earliest settlers of this State. Thomas Fitzwater came from Middlesex, England, in 1682. He was a mau of ability aud an eminent preacher among the Si ciety of Friends. He repre¬ sented both Bucks and Philadelphia counties in the Assemhly. He resided in I'pper Dubhn, where he owned 200 acres. He liied October 0, 1099. In 1737 the Penns granted by patent to his sons Tiioniasand George 200acre8in Whitpain, and hy 17ii Thomas Fitzwater was assess¬ ed tor 160 acres. Tliis is believed to have been on the southeast side of the Slate read. He died in 17tJl. He had a son Thomas, wlio was probably the land¬ lord ill 17(il. He was oneof niue children, whose names were William, Mary, Mar¬ tha, CatliHrine, Dehoiah, Jtjseph, George and Jeremiah. Thoinae obtained liie real estate of UO acres, and lived til! 1790, lenving sons Georjje and John and Kachel, who married John Mathews,of Hilltown. ll appears that Lawrence Rannicii own¬ ed more tiian 40 acres nt this c<irner, auiouniingto 114 acres. It extended out the btate road for half a mile, and alonjf the Skippack road 101 jierches, or nearly one-third 'fa mile. It iucluded the sit of the later Brick tavern, more recently the Coleman property. By the dale ol 1773, Haniiich got in debt, and his lands weie ."eized t-y Judah Foulke, Sheriff, who sold to John Porter. The latter was known to have been the landlord ilurini! the eariier years of the Revolu¬ tion. In 1776 Porter detached ten acres at ihe C'lrner, selliiin itio Benjamin Penose. This was 37 jierclies along the Stale road, wa- 40 perches wide at tlie southwest eud, Hud was bounded 'jy the Skippack roail 391 j)erches. The deed was witness¬ ed by Adam Luiz and Henry Conrad, Penose was the owner durini; the later Revoluti<iiiary j>eriod. In 1783 he sold the lol to I^aac DeHaven for S.'llO—a price tliat indicates quite inferior buildings. In this deed l>oth parties are called farmers, so that possibly the license had censed lor a time. In 1791 Isaac DeUa- -... ..t,X ... 0.....ux,l I>%.llu.^u. tvt.t. la creasing market travel, this site seemed very piofitable for a tavern, though there was one other ezistinit within half a liliie. So Samnel DeHaven proceeded to hnil J a log and stone house, andobtainetl H license atxiut 1792. Five years later he sold lo M ises DeHaven. Then the same year a t>aiit-fer was made to John Wentz. Neither did he keep it,as in 1797 he sold ll lo Leonard Styer. LEOXAKI) STVER was born in 1768, the son of Jacob Styer. He was a tavern keejier in various places, including also Broad Axe, Philadelphia and N<irri8towu, where he kept Ihe Kainbo House. Twelve years of his life were jwfsed in Wilkesbarre. He lived fifieen years afterwards on the townsliip hue road, (jwynetld, on the farm now owned hy Jefferson Rile. Hia life waa ended at Berwick, Colombia county. His wife was a daughler of Corneliua T)S(in. His sons were (Cornelius, George, Henry, Joseph and David. He was owner of this Centre Square tavern for four years, selling in 1801 to Thomas Humphrey. The sian in 1804 was a female holding a Set if Scales, rej>- resentin;; Justice. THOMA.S Ill'Ml'lIKEV was the son of Chailes Hnmobrey anit l>orn in Montgomeiy township lu 1774. His falher was Second lieutenant of tlie 41b mililia comjiany of the4lh battal¬ ion in the Revolution. He lielongcd lo a Welsh Baptist family lonK domiciled there. He was a man of maik, and be¬ came one of the representative men of Montgomeiy couuty during tbe first twenty yeais of this cenlury. Humphrey owned all the corners and started a store here in 1800. He rebuilt the tavern of slone. In 1802 he bought twenty acres of the Fiizwater tract at the soulh corner. He became prominent in militaiy and political affairs. County jxiliiicai con¬ ventions were held at his bouse. He was appointed capt&in of a company of artillery in 1804, and afterwards became a colonel in a battalion. Later on be rose to the rank of a major general. He raised a company of riUemen ic 1814 to go to Marcus Hook. The present site of ihe almshouse was agieed ujxin at Humphrey's tavern bv a large meeting of citizens held October 8,1806. Mnch interest and excilement prevailed at lie time. The first jiost office in tbe town¬ ship was established bere in 1828, and James Bush made postmaster. Ttie following is a seriea of eventa which happened during Humphrey's owner¬ ship: 1805, May. CJommissiouers met at bis laveru to receive proposals for the build¬ ing of a bridge over Oil Mill ron on Skippack road in Whitjiaiu. ISOo, Sept. 26.

General Harrison's capture of Maiden, Canada, waa celebrat¬ ed by a general illumination of the bouses above and below Humphrey's hotel, and a military proceasion formed. Political conventions continued to be held at the public house of Colonel Humphrey as long as he kept tbe Same, or till aboot 1819. Colonel Humphrey waa connected wilh the military as an officer for many years, and saw service at Marcus Hook in 1814. Hislastwill was made in 1^20, and his death took place October 3d, 1822, at tbe age of forty-eight He was buried at Monlgomery Baptist churchyard. In hia will mention is made of two daugh¬ ters, Eliza Hart, wifi of S«muel Wentz, and Rebecca Bees Humphrey. The tavern propaty belonged to tho heirs of Thomas Humphrey for thirty years. His son-in-law, Samnel Wentz, was his successor as landlord. The latter met Ills death in a tragivsii way, Septem¬ ber 11,1,^26, when less than itiiity-four years of age. Henry H. Groff then kept the upper tavern. Tradition saya there wasa Itood deal of bickering and ill feel- ing belween the two landlords. It wa a rouijh and tumble time when thau was much drinking, and many fights avi brawls in comparison with the preaeatM One evening Wentz attendetl some poiiil he meeting held in the hall above th« stHble of his rival's inn. He waa canes' out and came down, whereupon he was set upon by GrofI""s hostler and so badly beaten that he died a few daya after¬ wards m consequents. No public notice' was taken of hia death and the name of his assailant haa now faded from men's recollections. Elizi, the widow of Wentz, survived him neariy thirty years, her death occurri.ng August 28th, 1855, in her fifty-seventti year. In 1851 Thomas H. Wentz sold the tevern to Wells Tomlinson, '^ho in 1853 conveyed lo Enos L, Hoxwoith. The succeeding transfers have been- 1857 Hoxworlh to Joel Wentz; 1862, Wentz to Jesse B. Fisher; imi, Fiaher to Wm. Hood; 186ti, Hood to Charles Fillman; 1867, Fillman to Alliert Kal«, who kept the tavern for fifteen years. In 1882 Kalz sold to William C. Bhw*-" bum, now host of the old hotel at Am¬ bler; 1886, Blackburn to Frank H. F:icock; 1887. Elcoek to El wootl Hart; 1893. Hart to Albert Mauck, the present owner. Thomas Humphrey had one other daughter, not mentioned above. Her name was Sarah. She died a yonng woman of eighteen, December 21, 1818. Rebecca Reea was the only one of the family who reached oid age, her death taking place February 28, 1877, when in her seventy-fifth year. Euphamia. the widow of Humphrey, survived him till March 6, 18S5, having reached the age of fifty-nine. The tombstone of Colonel Humphrey bears the following obituary : "He was constant in hi* attendance Cpon tte puhlic worship of Ood; And liberal in gapplying the temporal Worship of the church.

The larger the attendance the larger will be the proceeds of a public sale. The crowd acts as an inspiration on the auc'ioneer and eacb other ; the owner obtains better results. Do not jeojwr- dize your sale by confining the informa¬ tion within the limits of theixjster only; comparatively few |)eople see a jjosler and fewer still take time to read it. By inserting the .idvertisement of a sale in your local paper it reaches the home ; here an opjxirtunity for careful reading is given to all the family, that is not to be had in any oUier way. If there is anything in the list of articles mention¬ ed that they want, you can count ujion tx. !...„„ ^„ ,, , „jp J^y jjf ^J \ ou would not think of having a puo¬ lic sale without informing your neigh¬ bors of the fact; the best and surest way is to inform them through the lt)cal pa¬ pers. In this part of Montgomery coun¬ ty there is no medium that will give you such positive results as the Ambi,eb Gazette. It is the people's pajier and is read in nearly every family. Boy Drowned While Skating. Coroner Kurtz was notified on Thurs¬ day of the drowning of Washington W. Tomlinson, a son of Frank Tomlinson, of Fox Chase, in a dam in Cheltenham township on Tueaday of last week. Young Tomlinson and a cousin were skat¬ ing near an opening in the ice on tbe dam, when the latler tripj)ed and fell in. His cousin made heroic attempts to res¬ cue him, but had tn abandon the effort to save bia own life. Parties who re¬ covered the body labored under the be¬ lief common in the rural districts that a corj)se cannot, under such circumstances, be removed until the coroner has held an inquest, and allowed it to lie on tbe ground near the dam nntil wiser conn ''' aels prevailed. A Ncw Scheme. The interesting experiment of elippiijg cows is being tried by the dairymen around Oxford. They claim tiiat clip¬ ping cattle prevents them from having mange, and also that the yield of milk is greatly increased by the process. Dairyman William Sharpless has had a herd of forty head i-heared, and rejrarta good reeults. While the clipping ne¬ cessitates better treatment for the cattle so treated, those who have tried it say that the increase of milk more tban jMtya for the extra trouble.
