YORK'S PROUD CLAIM.
The First Locomotive Built in Amer
lea Placed to Her Credit.

Few visitors at the exposition in Chicago who
have looked upon the locomotive steam-engine
called the York have ever heard of Phineas
Davis, its builder. John c. Jordan publishes
In the York Gazette sketch of the life of this
Interesting man.
Phlneas Davis was native of New Hamp-
shire and early Ia life he migrated to York,
where lie arrived poor, frlendless and unknown.
and commenced the business of matchmaking
with Jonathan JesSup. Near the close of bis
career as a matchmaker he produced a minia-
ture gold watch about the size OF dime which
attracted much attention at the time. Mr..
Davis next connected himself with Israel Gard.
production here was the iron steamboat
CodoruS, which was launched on the Susque-
hanna about 1928.
On January 4. 1881, the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company Issued an advertisement
Offering $4,000 for the best engine delivered for
trial on or before June l. 1881. One of the re.
quirements OF the engine was that II must burn
coke or coal and consume its own smoke. The
York was accepted as the best. 1t was built in
York by Davis & Gardner. and was the DrOduc-
ton OF Phineas Davis. This gives to York the
undOubted claim of having constructed the
first locomotive in the United States that
burned coal and was put into active use on the
railroad. The first steel springs used in this
country were placed upon the York, Davis
locomotive and tender. i'll September, 1882.
Phineas Davis was killed by accident on the
Baltimore aud Washington Railroad, Septem-
Der 81, 1885.
