A MERCHANT THIRTY YEARS.

Thursday, April Z. marked the thir-
ticth anniversary of the day upon
which ex-City Assessor II. y. Jones, of
North Hyde Park avenue, launched
into the grocery business. And. more
over, the whole thirty years are consec-
utive and were spent upon this side.
Twenty-Five years in one building,
where he still is, at 1909 Jackson street.
Few. if any, of the business men of
this city, can boast of that many con-
sccutive years of actual business ca
reer, and vet Mr.. Jones is not looking
forward to an early retirement. His
fifty-six odd years rest lightly upon his
shoulders, though his hair and NOUS
taChe are long since gray.
His store Is a rendezvous for some of
the old pioneers of this section and
many an interesting tale one can hear
by dropping in some afternoon when
business is slack and few Of the older
ones are exchanging comparisons of
what is" and what has been"
Born on December 2S. 1841, at Car
bcndale, he was one of a family of ten
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Jones.
His father was one Of the earlier mine
operators and very successful, though
everything. Shortly after Mr.. Jones
birth. the family removed to Newcas-
tie, SChuylkill county, but after a two
years residence there they moved back
| to Carbondale In 1853 the subject of
this sketch worked in the old rolling
mills and later in the SANDY Banks"
or the present Pine Brook mines. The

spent couple of years learning the
tailor trade under Tailor George Evans,
famous in the early days of Scranton.
III 1857, after returning from a west
ern trip, he entered the employment of
the well-known firm of d. T. Richards
and Esdras Howell, who kept the big
grocery store near the old white Tav-
crn." He was with this firm six years.
and two years more with Thomas Ey-
non and company. He again went west

April Z. 1868, he bought the firm Of
! Stark and Cannon, at 1851 South Main
avenue, and conducted his business
| there for five years. He then removed
to the store property at 11O9 Jackson
street, which he had purchased and has
| remained there since,
| Mr.. Jones has been an active Repuh-
lican and was city assessor for several
years. He is a Mason, belonging to
the HYDE Park lodge, a member of the
| Franklin Engine company, the Repub-
lican clubs, and the West Side Board
of Trade. He has served upon the Off
cial board Of the Simpson Methodist
Episcopal church since 1855. The one
thing outside of his business which Mr.
Jones remembers most clearly is the
vicissitudes of being the first vigllant
of the Fifth ward in 1866, appointed tC
the office by Mayor T.. NJ s. Hill.

DISCOVERY AND FIRST USE or
COAL.

Our anthracite coal fields were first dis
covered by hunter named Nicho Allen,
during the time George Washington was
president. Allen encamped one night in
the Schuylkill regions, kindling his fire
upon some black stones. lie went to
sleep near the fire, and awoke to find
himself almost roasted. The stones were
on fire, and anthracite was burning for
the first time. A company was organized
shortly after this for the purpose of sell
ing this coal, but met with little success,
1t was taken around to the blacksmiths,
but they, not knowing how to use It,
would have nothing to do with it. Some

Colonel Shoemaker and sold there. 1t
was so unsatisfactory that n writ was
gotten out from the city authorities de-
nouncing the colonel as a knave ana a
scoundrel for trying to impose rocks on
them for coal.

shea,s Company at the Linden.

Manager Brooks has made a happy
strike in bringing into his theater the
celebrated Shea company. Mr.. Shea's
popularity alone ought to pack any
house in Scranton. His company this
year is said to be much stronger than

Slater, Katie Maldon and Josie Nor
ton are the only members Of the old
company left. Their clever work Is
still fresh in the minds of Scranton
theater-goers. The ladies and children
who form the largest percentage of a
Linden audience will herald the re-
opening of their favorite report with
pleasure. The 10-cent matinees which
Manager Brooks instituted have be-
come extremely popular.
