THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

HISTORICAL (Continued trom Fag« On«) of Irish immigrants, many of whom settled along the right-of-way later, and founded the many Catholic churches along the old canal. The first canal shipment was a boatload of 200,000 hoop poles, made of ash, and used to' bind barrels, headed for Boston. The second cargo ioaa was 320 barrels of cranberries from the bogs of New Orleans. These were shipped to Defiance, and then down the Miami canal, because the Wabash and Erie was not completed to the Ohio for many years, although it was complete to Lafayette. During the Mexican War, in 1846, two companies of volunteers from Furt Wayne were hauled by canal boat, at-JJLz miles an hour, to Defiance, and. then south to Cincinnati, where they transferred to barges, and then were sent to New Orleans for use on the Mexican border. The canal was finally completed through Fort Wayne, connecting Lake Erie with the west, in 1842, but the great celebration was held July 4, 1843. Fort Wayne was a dirty little town of 1,500 at the time, with only a few brick homes. The First Presbyterian church was still a rude wooden building about 40 feet square. den Lewis Cass, the governor I of Michigan, and later a Demo-i cratic candidate for president, | was invited to be the orator ofi the day. More than 15,000 persons from all parts of the state; and nation, swelled the little frontier village for the great day. Cass, a huge, fat, pompous politician, arrived by boat, and as the great crowds applauded, threw out his chest, and marched across the plank to the shore. He missed his step, however, and fell into the muddy waters of the new;

canal, to the great consternation of the officials, and entertainment of the crowd. He dried himself -and changed clothes at the home of Samuel Hanna, who had, many; years earlier, ridden horseback to New York city, a 30-day trip,; to get the surveyor’s instruments to start <the canaL There had' been none in the state at that early date. . A great parade, led by the Revolutionary war veterans, then Gen. Cass, and thousands of others, passed through the village. Four bands played for the parade. Hugh McCullough read the constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence. a must at all patriotic celebrations in those days, and then Cass spoke for an hour and a half. The canal, however, was destined to be a failure. There was not enough water for the project, and once six boats bringing food to Fort Wayne stuck in the mud. and the population nearly starved before they were floated off. The railroads which soon crossed the valley struck the death knell. The state bankrupted itself trying to pay for them. In the Fort Wayne area the canal was used until 1879 to haul wood from the New Haven aTea. Actually the 459-mile project was only used in its entirety for four or five years, he concluded. -M» ' Pleads Guilty To Evasion Os Taxes INDIANAPOLIS — IW - George H.
