is more than five years since the New
Jersey was conceived. Congress, in
March, 1899, appropriated money for
three sea-going coast line battleships
carrying the heaviest armor and most
powerful armament for vessels Of their
class, and provided for two more by the
act of June Z, 1900.
The bureau of construction and re-
pair fully carried out the evident pur-
pose of congress, for the design of the

powerful battleships.

that empty coal bins, empty aninuni-

complishments. whose graces had won
great favor among her friends. But the
sad end that befell her cast deep
shadow over the home where peace
and happiness had reigned supreme.
At the time the Erie railroad was
building it's great pier out into the
Hudson q contractor from the south
came here in connection with the en-
terprise and lived for some time at
Piermont, then a bustling town. His
son. q young stripping of 10. soon be-
came acquainted with Catherine and
during the summer months the two
became insperable friends. After 4
time they became engaged. Later on.
when the young sutton approached the
old gentleman for his daughters hand,
the question came up as to what money
the young man had behind him. For.
tune had not been financially generous
to the young fellow and he had moth
Ing to offer but his protection and
love. This not being a sufficient price
for his daughter their marriage was
refused. Forbidden to see him any
longer the young girl was seldom seen
afterward. From her window, where
she sat alone at night looking silently
into the moonlight, she could sec the
path where they had so many times
strolled together and where they had
often talked over their future plans.
Many reports we're rumored about
the village concerning her strange
death. Some say that she had been
locked up in a little room at the top
of tho house, where she pinned away
and died from grief, and still others
said that she became respondent and
starved herself to death. She was in
TERED in a marble coffin and was the
first to enter the family tomb which
had been built in the mountain side.
In later years, when William Ferdon
died, it was said that in his will he
made a request that his coffin be borne
to the tomb by negroes, as he wished
no white man ever to enter the sacred
chamber where his daughters body lay.
Another story is that when they car
ried his coffin into the tomb they &C.
cidentally knocked against the one
where the daughters body lay exposed
to view through the glass lid, and the
lar caused the body, which had been
embalmed, to fall to dust. A beautiful
portrait of Catherine Ferdon still
hangs upon the fall in the old mansion
