ABOUT L. B. STILLWELL.
Harper's Weekly Labels Him as an
American of Tomorrow.

This weeks number of HHrper'S
Weekly contains full-page picture of
Lewis p. Stillwell Il former resident OF
this city, it being one of q series of por-
traits entitled "Americans OF ToNOr-
row." Mr.. Stillwell is Il son of Captain
Richard Stillwell. of jefferson avenue,
and Il brother of Lieutenant Colonel f.
w. Stillwell. of the Thirteenth regiment.
He is recognized as one of the greatest
electrical experts in the country. The
notice accompanying the picture is as
follows:
only two electricians have been hon
ored as the recipients of the Niagara
medal-Lord Kelvin and Lewis Buckley
Stillwell. The fame of the former is
world-wide: the latter is the young
American whose portrait appears in
our series this week. He began his
serious study ut Middletown. in the in
enuity-breeding state of Connecticut,
and continued in the Westinghouse
shops till he became chief electrical en-
Sincer and assistant manager.
He made the plans and supervised
the construction and. for a time. the
operation of the great plant at Mag
ara: and now has charge of the cleo
Subway companies in this city. He pre-
fers application to invention. and on
that line bids fair to play a very i'm

CONFERENCE on VIADUCT
Revised Plans Were Considered Yes
terday by Director of Public
Works Roche.

Director of Public Works Roche. Chief
Engineer Phillips, of the bureau of en-
gineering, and Engineer Davis, of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company. had a lengthy consultation
yesterday on the vaduct question.
The original plans for the structure
have been revised in the last few weeks
by the Lackawanna engineers and were
presented for the approval of Director
Roche yesterday in their altered form.
The plans have been so modified as to
provide for an elevation of only seven-
teen feet over the railroad track in
stead Of twenty-five feet, as originally
provided. This changes the grade very
materially, allowing an almost perfectly
level portion over $50 feet long at the
Eighth street end OF the structure.
No provision was included in the
plans for manholes opening from the
viaduct into the sewers. They will be
changed so as to provide for such man
holes. and will be submitted for Drec-
tor Roches further approval within the
next ten days.
1t is not generally known that the
foundation for the viaduct on the east
erly end, up to within short distance
of where it is to cross the tracks, will
be constructed entirely of concrete, and
unless manholes are run through this it
will be impossible to get at the sewers
to make repairs and clean them out.
Director Roche expects to be able to
award the contract for the construction
of the viaduct within the next month,
SO that work may begin early in the
spring

Edward Finnegan, OF 6lS Pix court,
525 Olive street. had his skull frac-
tured yesterday afternoon by a fall
from a scaffold in the Hickory Street
Presbyterian church.
The two men were painters and We're
engaged IN painting the ceiling OF the
church. They were standing. at the
time of the accident on Il portable
scaffold. which they had placed on top
of the regular scaffolding. a weak
plank gave way, and the two men fell
crashing to the floor, IL distance Of
about fifty feet.
Both struck on their heads and sus-
tained fractures at the base of their
skulls. Van Horn was rendered un-
conscious. but Finnegan retained his
senses and the last sacrament was ad-
minstered to him by Rev. Peter
Christ before the l.ackawanna hospital
ambulance arrived.
F'innegan died shortly after his ar
rival at the hospital. His body was
viewed by Coroner Saltry. who will
probably conduct an inquest. Van
Horn was still alive at midnight. but
his condition was reported to be most
serious.
While the church was being erected,
bach fell to his death from scaffold-
ing. striking within a few feet of
where yesterdays accident occurred.
