The graveyards were situated as follows:

public graveyard near the east end of H

used, and a few others the exact locations
of which cannot now be recalled.
There We're a number of able
benevolent and fraternal organizations. as
also lodges, chapters, etc. of the secret or
ders. The Masons had six blue lodges. two
Royal Arch Chapters and Knights Tenn
plar commandery, most of them meeting at
10th and E streets The Odd Fellows were
principally in their new hall on It'll street
between D and E streets. having fourteen
lodges and five encampments. The Red
Men had five tribes. Seven divisions of the
Sons of Temperance a band of Brothers of
Temperance, two three tents of Recha-
bites and a few other organizations repre-
scented the temperance sentiment The Union
Debating Society the Vine Lyceum. the
Franklin Lyceum and some other like or
CARNATIONS met regularly. There were also
three building organizations established and
doing business.
For transportation in and about the city
we had the hack and the cab and it was
a good business at that time numbers Of
hack drivers not only owning their horses,
carriages and stables, but other property.
Some of these whose names are familiar
were Henry Turner, Joseph Abbott, William
Hicks, George Beardsley, Andrew Schwartz,
Singleton Golden, R. F. MCGEE H. Kinchey.
Thomas Walsh. William Dalton. John
De Neele, Peter Carroll, William Bagnam
and Robert Kelliher.
Majors line of omnbuses, the Union line
of Reside & Vanderwerken, the Citizens
line of Weeden & Ryther, had routes on
the avenue to the navy yard, Georgetown,
the steamboat Wharves and North Wash
ington, the fare being a "fippenny bit or
Ga cents. Then old fashioned mail coaches
carried passengers to adjacent towns in
Maryland and Virginia. most of the lines
being but tri-weekly, and the offices were
in the neighborhood of AZ 9th street and
the avenue Frederick, Rockville Brookville
Marlboro, Port Tobacco, in Maryland and
Leesburg, Warrenton, Middeburg and other
places in Virginia were thus in commune
cation with the capital of the nation.

Railroad and Steamboat Facilities.

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad then adj
vertsed under the name of the Washington
and Baltimore railroad, though it had been
operated over fifteen years, had a diminu
tive brick station with carsheds along the
Tiber at Pennsylvania avenue and I'd street.
This was surmounted by a small belfry and
bell, to summon the passengers. The run
ming time then between Baltimore and this
city was over two hours, and there were but
four or five trains daily. Over this was
the line of travel from the north, east and
west, and on the arrival and departure of
the trains this was perhaps the most ami
mated section of the city. The through pas
sengers for the south were conveyed by a
large omnibus to the mail boats at the lit
street wharf. Between Alexandria and this
city there were several steamers, the
Phoenix, Joe Johnson Tom Collyer, George
Page and Union, two or more being regu-
lary, and each making five or six round
trips daily, the single fare being levy"
or 12h cents. A line of mail boats carried
the great southern mail between this city
and Aqua creek, among them the steam
ers Baltimore Augusta and Powhatan. The
steamer Tom Collyer made trips to Mount
Vernon, the steamer Osceola was on the
Norfolk line, making semi-weekly trips;
the Columbia made trips to Baltimore,
touching at intermediate landings, and had
one day lay off for excursions.
The City Post Office.
Our city post office was located in the
dwellings on 18th street north of the Post
Office Department. known as McLeans row,
formerly occupied by Col. William Ben
ming Mrs. Ironsides and others. These
were three-story brick houses, and the Of
flee then was under Mr.. William A. Brad
ley, who a few years after gave way to
DR.. William Jones. Then cents was the
postage for a half-ounce letter for 300
miles or less, and 10 cents over that dis
lance. The telegraph office, the Morse line,
was in the second story of this building,
and promised the public that messages
should be sent through in half minute
This line ran northward. There was also
line known as Baynes line, for the south

Through the Old Canal.

Through the canal which skirted the
river from Georgetown, connecting with the
old Washington city canal at 18th street,
came down Cumberland coal, lime and other
material from up country. Anthracite coal
then fast coming into use, and the
cargoes in vessels of about hundred tons
were mostly unladen at the 18th street
wharves. The western outlet of the Wash
ington canal was at this point. The bed
of that canal was in B street to between
9th and 18th streets where it turned south
ward for few hundred yards, thence east
ward to Sd street, from which point, by a
southeast and south course, it reached the
Eastern branch near the foot of New Jer-
sey avenue. 1t was spanned at 14th, 18th,
18th, Az, Sd streets, Virginia avenue, New
Jersey avenue and M street by bridges for
vehicles. Several streams and sewers
flowed into it, and it was continually fill
ing up, and to keep it navigable for craft
drawing few feet of water mud machines
were frequently employed. Contractors were
then dredging it and putting in new
walls. Along it's banks had been the
gas works. at 10th street, but recently
removed to Maine avenue near Sd street.
There was traffic along it's banks, par
ticularly in wood sometimes brought in
small ScnOOnerS, but more often by nat
bottom long boats or scows, from the lower
river, and also in lumber, market truck, etc.
Hotels
The hotels. taverns and refectories at that
day, and numerous boarding houses af
forded ample accommoda lions, and, except
on occasions of great public interest, such
as inaugurations, there was no need for
walking the streets. 1t is true that some
of the older Capitol Hill hotels had ceased
business such, but still existed board
ing houses. and other old-time places had
been modernized. The Franklin Hotel, of
ONeal. and afterward Gadsby's. had dis
appeared from 21st street Wizards, at
14th street and the avenue, under a new
management, had resumed business, and
the old Mansion House was again run
ming. The present site of the Raleigh
was occupied by the modest Irving House,
kept by John Thomas. The old In
dian Queen Hotel, first kept by Col
| onel Keowin, followed by the well-known
Jesse Brown, thirty years before this time,
had been demolished and the imposing mar
ble-front Metropolitan, under Mr.. Browns
| sons, was about completed on it's site with
extensions. while Rumpf's City Hotel, OPP

near Az street.
The Adams Express Company had estab
lished itself here in the iron-front three
story building on Pennsylvania avenue a
few yards west of the depot. which is still
standing.
The Banks.
The Bank of Washington was then at the
corner of Louisiana avenue and 18th street.
as now. The present National Metropolitan
was then the Bank Metropolis, in the same
place, opposite the treasury. The Patriotic
Bank, which had been on 7th street near
D street, had gone out of existence, and
in it's place was the Exchange Bank of Sell
den, Withers & Co. There were Bank of
Republic, at 18th street and Louisiana ave-
nue. and Farmers and Merchants Bank, OH
Pennsylvania avenue between AZ and 9th
Streets the Bank of Columbia, of Statham.
Smithson & Co., in the same section.
The house of Corcoran and Riggs, then
known as Exchange Bank, was at 18th
street and New York avenue. The Wash
ington City Savings Bank was conducted
on the present site of the Traders at 10th
street and the avenue, by Lewis Johnson &
Co. 7. w Pairo was in business at 18th
and F streets, and Chubb Brothers were
close by. This being in the days of state
and private banks, there was currency in
circulation of variegated character, some
good, some not so good. and a portion of
it very bad. At one time there was SO
much danger of taking counterfeit money
that some business men, to avoid the
knowledge of the spuriousneSs of note,
adopted the custom of taking anything that
came along showing the denomination and
name of the bank. AS may be supposed,
this condition made business, for much of
the state bank money was taken at a dis
count. Some of those engaged as exchange
and stock brokers were Thomas E. France,
F. A. Harry, John Hand, G. w. Hall &
Co, w. H. Ritter, Daniel Rowland, G. S.
McElfresh, ]. W. Maury, M. Snyder, J
Raymond, G. w. Phillips, o. S. Morse and
Robert Goggins.
A grist mill on F street between 9Th and
18th streets southwest. a shipyard, Pages,
near the foot of 7th street, where the
steamers William Selden, Champion and
other vessels were launched another ship
yard at the west end of G street, Easbys
where a fine revenue cutter was built and
the smaller bodybuilding plant of Cumber-
land, near the latter, are some of the places
which are still remembered by the older in
habitants.
