TWO MONITORS WITH HISTORIES
The Ajax and Passaic Being Dis
mantIed by a Local Steel Co.

Two remnants of the civil war are
living on the shore OF the Delaware river
az Pennsgrove, N. j. The remnants are
the monitors Passaic and Ajax, at one
time conveys of the famous original
Monitor that sunk the Merrimac, and
both have history.
Uncle Sam concluded early last year
that the ancient craft were no longer use
full to the Government, and 80 ordered
their sale. The Ajax cost $3.50, 900 60
build in 1862, and was of 2, 100 tons dis
placement. The Passaic cost 5000, 600,
and was of ! 800 tons displacement. The
Passsic was built at Brooklyn, the Ajax
at Pittsburg. Both were sold for $50, 900
to the firm of Henry A. Hitner's Sons,
and the armor plate will be converted
into old iron to be used by the Diamond
State Steel Company of this city.
The armor plate on these old monitors
is one inch thick five iron plates of that
size riveted separately. Steel was an
unknown problem. The Ajax was pur-
chased at League Island and the Passalc
at Pensacola Navy Yard, Florida. The
| latter had an eventful voyage north,
looming twice near the sinking point, the
4 second time being off Cape Halteras,
where the original Monitor was lost in a
tale years ago.
Henry A.iIittner's Sons have force OF
/ forty five men at Pennsgrove, who live
on the Octorara and Woodward while
engaged in the work OF the firm. They
have the breaking up process in charge
and began last week to dismantle both
the old-tlmers. Some dynamite will be
used, but only in parts of the vessels
where the ch1sel and sledga fail to work.
H. A. Hitner said yesterday that the
Paasair and Ajax were great bargains at
$50, 900.
Ine fassaic was a single turret screw
vessel, 100 feet long, and was commanded
by Captain Percival Drayton. Sht
anchored in Hampton Road November
-, 1862, and was with the Monitor, thai
sunk the Merrimac. She took part il
many engagements, and was put out o
commission at Philadelphia June Ii
1865. The Ajax's most noted contes
was in Charleston harbor, off Fort Sum
ter, in 1852, when che was struck thirty
six times, had her turret turned, aut
had TO GO out of action. The final chap
ter in the career of the two old vessels il
now being written out at Pennsgiove.

Chairman Turner cautioned the men,
bers to be careful in the expenditures.
At the end of last year there was short
age of from $4,000 to $1,000, and from
present indications there may be short
age this year of something over 5000,
which it is hoped, however, may be
avoided.
He explained that the March payroll
was $l4,4lS S5. Should the April and
May payrolls be about the s,me, this
would make about $2S. S37. 20, and adding
$3.50 for manual training teachers, would
make total of about $29,3l770 There

tee would have report of some kind by
the next meeting.
The prospects for securing the $l00, 000
necessary to complete the building are
said to be growing brighter. There are
now said to be two banks that are will.
