RUMSEYS STEAMBOAT.
Records Which Show That 1t Antedated
Fulton'a Product by Twenty-two Years.

Records Which Show That 1t Antedated
FultOn's Product by Twenty-two Years.
The records of Jefferson county, W.
Va, prove what is not generally known
that Robert Fulton was not the first
man to build a steamboat i'll this coun-
try. He was anticipated over 20 years
by James Rumsey of Charleston, Va,
now West Virginia. Rumsey's steam
boat was partly constructed i'll Frederick
county, Nd, i'll 1885. 1t was fitted up
with machinery partly manufactured at
a furnace called The Cococtin Fur
mace, " owned by johnson Brothers, and
located near the town of Frederick
The two cylinders, the boiler, pumps,
pipes, etc, were built in Baltimore.
Part of the work was done at the old
Antietam Iron works Rumsey's boat
was so feet i'll length, and it was pro
PEELED by an engine which worked a
vertical pump placed in the center Of the
vessel The water was drawn i'll at the
bow and forced out at the stern through
a horizontal pipe. The entire weight of
the machinery was 665 pounds. and
the tonnage Of the vessel was three tons
The entire machinery, including the
boiler, etc, took up a space of very lit
tie over feet square.
The first public experiment took place
on the Potomac river on March Il, 1856,
when the boat showed a speed of four
miles an hour up stream. The records of
Jefferson county also show that George
Washington and Governor Thomas John
son Of Maryland were among the pat
rons of Rumsey, and that the experiment
was made III the interest Of the then
proposed Chesapeake and Ohio canal -

Hyphenaeed names IL E.-,r3ye may lie
ivided into two catego,;e5-aamely,
those wherein the hyphen Is : mere piece
Of snobbery and atTect-tion. and those
wherein it is consequent upon legal
obligation The latter are in tic minor
ity and are borne almost invariably by
legatees and their descendants, who have
inherited property, usually real estate,
contingent upon their tacking the name
of the testator on to their own, or else
they are men who have married he;-osses
and been accepted as husbands for the
latter on the condition that they should
append the family name Of their wives
to their own patrcnynic.
People III the other category, who use
the hyphen merely with the object Of
creating the impression that they are of
more ancient lineage than is really the
case, invariably prefix, instead of ap-
pending, the additional name, and it is
this that enables one to distinguish the
''bona fide double barrel, " as Lord Ran
dolph Churchill used to call them, from
those who are not, for you have only TO
ask Mr. Ponsonby- Jones for the name of
his paternal grandfather in order to find
ont that the old gentleman was simple
Jones, devoid of the aristocratic Ponson
by, whereas in the case of surnames
adopted in Difference to testamentary
dispositions one will invariably find on
inquiry that the paternal grandfather
and ancestors bore the first of the two
patronymics.
The persons who make use of hyphen-
ated names without being compelled TO
do so are usually the owners of patro-
ny1nics excruciatingly plebeian, who
hope, yainly,:-ft is true. TO redeem the
commonplace character of their name by
preixing thereto one calculated, they
trust, to create the impression that they
are connected with some of the great
houses of the nobility. Thus it is quite
common to find Montmorency- Smiths,
