L. B. STILLWELL CALLED TO AN
IMPORTANT POSITION.
Has Been Made Head of tho Electri
cal Department of the Manhattan
Elevated Railway Company of
New York Charles Hamillton Has
Returned to tho City Important
Undertaking of Adam Relnhardt
in Old Forgo Township New Way
of Making Public Improvements.
L. B. Stlllwell, formerly of this city,
has been appointed electrical engineer
of tho Manhattan Elevated Railway
company of New York city. Mr. Still-
won Is a son of Richard Stlllwell of
Jefferson avenue nnd a brother ot Lieu
tenant Colonel F. W. Stlllwell, of tho
Thirteenth regiment. Though not yet
3," years of nge, Mr. Stlllwell is ono
of tho best known elcctilcnl engineers
In America. Tho confidence tho Man
hattan people have In him Is demon
strated by hN selection for tho Impor
tant position of directing the woik of
substituting elocttlcity for stoam as a
motive power on the extensive elevated
ralhond system In New York. It la
ono of the laigest undertakings) In an
electrical way over attempted In Amer
ica. Mr. Stlllwell spent his youth In this
city and received his oaily education
here. At Wesleyan University he com
pleted his general studies, and having
been stiongly attracted by electricity,
which was then on tho threshold of
Its wonderful career, he went to Lo
hlgh Unlvcislty nnd took up tho study
of the now force. Before completing
tho electrical engineering course hobo-
came ill and had to Icavo the univer
sity. When ho recovered he was en
gaged by the Westlnghouse company
and entered tholr laigo establishment
nt Pittsburg, where he soon demon
stiated that he had a positive genius
for grappling with tho many problems
which the piactlcal application of the
new force to tho varied purposes for
which It was desired to ue It brought
to the suiface
When dating minds conceived tho
Idea of harnessing the power of Nia
gara Falls, an IJt.gllshman In a general
way devised the plan of tho immense
dynamos that ate used there. It was
left to the elei tilcal companies to woik
out tho details and produce a practi
cal, useful machine. Mr. Stlllwell had
charge of this woik for the Westing
house companv and Its plans were uc
cepted by the Cataract company and It
leielved the contract for tho machinery
In that wondeiful power bouse nt Nia
gara, which Is one of the marvels of
th" woild and Is visited by electricians
fiom all parts of the earth.
Mr. Stlllwell had charge of the In
stalling of the plant and so faoiablv
did ho Impress the dlrectois of tho
Cataract company that ahoy Induced
him to remain with them after tho plant
was staited as tho electrical dliector
of the company. The Westlnghouse
company was loath to lose his sen ices
and he was made a onsultlng engineer
of that company. When the Manhattan
Cheated people decided to use elocttl
city on that road as a movtlve power
they selected Mr. Stlllwell as the poi
son best equipped for the great under
taking nnd on Tuesday auangements
weie closed hy which ho became tho
head of the electrical elepnrtmont ot
th it eompan For the pie.sent ho will
divide his time between Niagara, wheie
hlj home is, and New Yoik city. Later
he will piobably withdraw fiom con

ber of Company B, of the Thirteenth
leglment, has i etui ned to thls city and
resumed his old position as door-keeper
at the Academy of Music, l'veiy af
ternoon'and evening he is gieeted by
hundreds of his old fi lends who aie
pleased to seo him again handling tho
pasteboards at the door of the Acad
emy. Mr. Hamilton did not Join tho
guard until about the time the war
broke out. Like hundreds of other pa
titotlu young men he was anxious to
do a little fighting for Uncle Sam and
he thought, as almost everybody did
at that time, that tho shortest uud
to the front was by the national guard
loute, and so he enlisted in Company B.
At Camp Abler th" insidious malaria

possible through the otdlnnry public
channels.
Tho Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company, tho Pennsylvania
Coal company and tho Jermyns arc tho
lnigo ta.payers of the township nnd
somo time ns?o they had a conference
which icsultcd In a determination to
Inaugurate an entirely new system In
tho way of caring for tho roads of the
township. The outcome was that Mr.
Relnhardt entered Into a contract with
tho supervisors ot Old Forgo by tho
terms of which ho agreed to do all tho
road-making and repairing and also to
care for tho bridges of tho township.
Ho is to receive his compensation from
the taxpayerd direct and no toad tax
will bd levied In tho township for tho
fiscal year ISM.
Mr. Relnhardt also agrees to assume
all lesponslblllty for suits that may
grow out of the condition of the tovvn
bhlp roads and to pay the salaries ot
the township officers. The movo Is nn
Important ono and tho outcome of It
will bo watched with Interest. There
has been such a flagrant wasttlng ot
public funds In many of the townships
hereabouts that those who have to bear
tho biunt of tho baulcn of taxation
have been forced to take steps to pro
tect themselves.
TO RUN SUNDAY TRAINS.
Schedules for the New Service
tho Lackawanna Road Be
ing Piepared To Go Into
Effect This Week.
"The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad hns long had tho un
deserved reputation of running no
trains on Sunday," said yesterday's
New York Tribune. "Instcud of If
keeping the day holy so scrupulously,
it has run a newspaper train from
New Yoik and a milk train to Now
York on Its Morris and Sssex branch
every Sunday, und has had a peculiar
sort of Sunday service on tho mala
line, j:ery Sunday six trains leavo
Hoboken on tho main line, and five
come to tho city. Hath train consists
of a dozen or bo milk cais, with a
smoking-car ti ailing on behind, and
sometimes other passenger coaches.
These trains aro not advertised to
make stops, and most of tho people
along tho line do not Know that thev
carry passengeis. Tho man who
'knows tho ropes' can get aboard any
ot these tialns at his station, but must
pay his faie to the conductor, as nono
of the stations ore open on Sunday.
' While the Lackawanna has had
thefco Sunday trains, the service was
by no means adequate, and Samuel
Sloan, the former president ot tho
Lackawanna, would not agico to any
improvements In the service, expi eas
ing himself ns stiongly opposed to Sun
day trains. In' consequence tho people
of the Changes, Montclair, Tiloomueld,
Summit, Monlstown and other popu
lous bubuiban towns mffered no little
inconv enlenee
"This Is to be letncdlcd ut once. It
was announced In this city jeHteiday
that the new president of tho Lacka
wanna, vv. 11. Trtiesuaie, nas decided
to establish a Sunday service on tho
Morris and V.cx btaneli, beginning
next Sunday.
"Supeilntendent Reasom r, at his- of
fice In Hoboken, Intimated that theie
would ho about twenty suburban
trains, the totmlnul points of which
will be South Change, Montclair, Mor
rlstow n, Dover and Washington, giving
a complete Sunday subuibau service
on ull the branches of the Morrin and
lse.x There w 111 aKo be additional
local tialns on the main line Tho
Khedule of trains has not jet been
completed, but It will bo announced
before Katuiday. If moie train, aie
needed Liter they will bo put on
"It Is also said President Tuiesdale Is
considering tho advisability ot putting
on a special fast limited train to Buf
falo on the plan of the Xew Yoik Cen
tral's Empire State express, tho Penn
sylvania limited and the Lehigh Val
ley Black Dlnmond. The name tor the
new train has not been decided unon.
' Mr. Truesdale has made an Inspec
tion of the Lackawanna tyitein, md
jestcrday expressed himself ns highly
gratified at the condition of the mud."

upon themselves, which will eventually
engulf body and soul. The Incbilate Is
