A BUSY LIFE CLOSED.
End of tho Useful Career of Benja
min F. Fillmore.
in the death of llenjamln V. FI1I
tnoie, which oocniiod at 8 30 o'clock
Monday evening, Sri union has lost one
of Itn pioneer settlers, and one who
had been largely Identified with tho
growth of the oily and Its suburbs. Mr.
Fillmore wns born at Mnnllus, N. Y.,
Dec. .1, 1SJI, nnd had therefoto just
passed his soventy-flist blitlulay.
Ills entire life was one of activity:
Idleness bail no place In his nutuie, and
Iho tnnny public works upon which ho
was engaged, and the eagerness with
which his sot vices wcie sought, bear
witness to bis lndustiy and sterling In
to gi lty.
Ills Hist entetpilse was the building
of the plnnk-iond, oi turnpike leading
west fiom S incuse, his last, the lo
cating of a valuable coil deposit In tin;
not thorn pait or this state for Buftulo
capitalists-. Dining the fifty-two yeats
which Intel vened between his Hist
woik and his last, he was almost con
stantly engnged In entcipilses which
today Hland as monuments to his skill
and activity.
laily in Hie Mr. Fillmoie engnged In
widening tho Eilo canal, then the main
aiterv for fj eight tiafllc In the state of
New Yoik. Dater he assisted in build
ing tho bieakwater In tho haibor ot
Durfalo, and still Inter, in the constitu
tion of the locks about the inplds of
the Ohio liver near Louisi illo, Ky.
Coming to Scinnton In 1S5!), he Imme
diately engaged In tho constitution ot
the inlltoads, which weie to bo of to
much benellt to the tow n.
Mi. Fillmoie built the picsent Dela
wnic and Hudson road fiom 01phant
to Caibondnle, double-tracked tho Del
awaic, Lackawanna and Western load
f i om Scianton to Henry vlllc, and built
the Storts branch of the Lackawanna
load. Ho constiueted the fit st stieet
cur lines in Scranton, having the con
tiael for building the Gieen nidge,
Piovideiue and Dunmoio People's
lines.
For Ihe jeais Mr. Fillmoie was gen
et al supetintendent ot the Pennsjl
vanla Anthracite Coal tompain's
mines, having under his charge the
Coiey, Gieenwood and Sibley colliciles.
Later be developed the Maisliwood coal
propel ty, and .still later what is now
known as the West Ridge collleiy of
tho Scranton Coal company.
Very soon after coming to Scianton,
Mr. Fillmoie identltled himself with
the Penn Aenue Baptist t liurch, and
for j ems was an honoied member of
that body, seiving as tiusteo and dea
con. Ho was identified witb the build
ing up of the Green Ridge section of
the citv. and at one time wns a. mem
ber of the citv councils.
As a fiiend, Mr. Fillmoie. was one
whoso memoiy will always be kept
gieen, especially by the joung men
with whom he was associated in the
chinch and Sundav school. To his
kindly advice, many of the joungei
men of this city owe much, while all
who knew him. will lemember the
genial smile and the wnim giasp of
the hand w Ith which bo met them, and
the inteiest which be took in theli
piospoilly.
In later yeats Mr. Fllmoie icsumed
bis lesldence in Gieen liidge, and be
came identified with the Green Ridge
Baptist chinch. His inteiest in the
woik ol this chinch was gtent, and 11
was Intensified because the chinch was
the outgiowth of a movement begun
dining his lormer lesidence in Gieen
Ridge, in the passing away of u. r.

Apprehensive of Trouble Hope
That Cold Promised by the Weath

The heavy thaw and lain jostcnlay
caused the Lncltawunmi liver to Use
lapldly and at S'oclock last night It was
five feet above Its normal lino nt this
time of the year. At midnight it was
icpoited to have llsen sl Inches moio
and to be still tlslng.
Should this continue today tliete will
be danger of a scilous flood though tho
weather bmcau promises a cold spell.
The river had not risen atilticlently
high at midnight to overflow Its banks
and cause any very .seilous damage,
but Hie people living near it both In
thlR city and up the valley, were ap
piohenslve that It would.
The thaw tendeicd walking a very
unpleasant dlveislon yesterday, because
of the clogging ot the sewer basins In
nearly every part of the city and the
consequent Hooding of the stteet cioss
