DEATH OF NOTED ENGINEER.

The following from the Scientific
dmericGn notes the death of one of
Americas greatest engineers and
structure builders. 1t is of peculiar
interest to the editor of this paper,
for during the Eve ytus of his life
after leaving school IL was in the
employ of the bridge building inter-
ests of which Mr.. Clarke was the
head. and from Canada to Mexico
the writer served uhder HIM. worked
on the great Kinzua viaduct and
was billed for the Australian work,
mentioned in the article here repro
duced, when an accident placed him
in New York hospital and ended
his bridge-building career. The ex-
tract reads:
Mr. Thomas Curtis Clarke, one of the
hest known civil engineers and bridge.
builders, died in New York, June 10, iu
his seventy-fourih year. He was trained
10 De civil engineer and early in life
engaged In various kinds of railroad
work, but finally made bridge engineer
ing speciality, and his name is identified
with many of the most important bridges
built in the United States. Mr.. Clarke
was among the first of American
engineers 10 use concrete upon large
scale he was the senior member Of the
firm which afterward became the Phoenix
Bridge Company. Among the famous
works on which he was engaged was the
erection of the Kinzua Viaduct. In 1884
MIR. Clarke became one of the members
OF the Union Bcidge Company, which
soon became the largest concern devoted
To bridge building in the world. While
Mr.. Clarke was connected with this
company they built the famous Hawkes.
bury Bridge in Australia, which is one
If the first cases where a bridge was
built in foreign country by an American
concern.
The iron railroad bridge at Fred
ericksburg, but recently replaced by
larger one was one of the structures
which the writer assisted in building
for the Phoenix. 1t was erected in
the fall of 1882. Work on the
famous kinzua viaduct, the gigantic
iron girder and trestle bridge in Nc
kean County, Pennsylvania, in the
oil region south of Bradford which
spans chasm from mountain top
to mountain top, was begun on May
., 1882, and completed in less than
four months. 1t is 301 feet high at
the highest point aud until the COM
pletion of the Garabit viaduct was
the highest bridge in the world, being
81 feet higher than the top of Brook
Ign Bridge towers.
The Kinzua bridge is 1900 feet
long. Its completion gave to the
New York, Lake Erie and Western
Railroad direct communication with
the coal fislds of Western Peunsyl-
vania. The valley of the Klnzua,
which this great trestle spans. is
fifteen miles south of Bradford and
one of the widest regions yet left in
Pennsylvania. Until nifty, per-
haps even yet, bear and deer were
plentiful in this valley. The Kmzua
viaduct has been point of excursion
and an object of curiosity for sigh
seers ever since it was built. Gen.
Grant was taken there on one
occasion.

So this was the reward of the long

the many hours that he had toiled over
the memorial verses in order to get
them into decent shape for publica-
