Thus the taxpayers of New York

million dollars to face for their Com
mission. but this is not all: the State
contributes $3.50. 900 to the above

70 pay the expense Of the other half
Of the Commission, i. g., that part of
1t which takes charge OF the whole
Of the State excepting New York
City and neighborhood.
The Legislature before sanction
ing any such scheme for proportions

pensive for US as for New York, be
ing OF the same nature will natu rally
inquire very thoroughly into what
has been and is to be secured for the

CANNON EALl HOUSE.
An Old Colonial Marelon on the
Schuyl<iIi River.

Although it lies on the west bank
of the Schuylkiil, none of the cid
timers in the Neck" were unfamiliar
with the traditions OF the Cannon
Bal House, which stands some dis
tance from Penrose Ferry road and
about half or threc-qua1ters of mile
west of the Penrose Ferry bridge.
The house is notable for the wiaGow
II its chimney, which certainly is
unusual. II has been explained that
;hc window was not part Of the or
iginal plan Of the house, but was cut
into the chimney FOR a convenient
lookout for officers of the Contineu-
tai Army at the time of the Revolu-
ton. The house is near the river,
nOc far from tAe junction with the
Delaware, and at the time of the Rev.
olution there was nothing to prevent
clear view of the stream for a great
distance, as most of the ground in the
vicinity is low and the fort was built
on very low land.
While Col. William Bradford, the
printer and newspaper publisher, was
in command of the fort near the
house, known during the Revolution
as Mud Fort and later as Fort Miffiin,
the fortification was attacked by the
British in force. This was at tho
battle of Red Bank, in October, 1776.
During the attack on the fort, 1t is
ho nj
through the walls of the house, and
although the family was at dinner at
the time in the room through which
the shot passed no one was injured.
There Is still to be seen in the walls
of the old mansion the place where
the shot entered.
On the old map Of Scull & Heap,
published in 1850, the house is shown
lying in the township of Kingsessing,
on what is called Carpenters Island.
1t is called Blakeley's house and was
the onl yone in the vicinity. The
date of the building is not readily
ascertained, but from the character Of
the brick employed in its construction
it is evidently of great age, dating
from the early years of the eighteenth
century In the days before 1850 the
house was to be approached only
from the east side of the Schuylllill
by means of the rope ferry at this
r-int. Then the bride was erected
and, taking its name from the family
in the neighborhood, the Penroses,
who had the monopoly of the ferry,
the road was called Peprose Ferry
road and the bridge given the name
OF the ferry. In recent years the
Southwestern trolley line has brought
tho Cannon Ball House into closer
torch with the city proper.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.
