Hew Tork JVeat: The hero of Harrison, or Kearny, aa the place ia more frequently called, aauburbof Newark, ia John Phillipa, a young Scotchman, who by hia Ingenuity and daring ia trying to save Uie Clark Thread Company groat expenss and do much toward relieving tbe villagers from distress, Tbe extensive mills of thia company are closed and the L.5O0 operatives are idla Mo labor dispute baa done thia, but lightning. During the severe thunderstorm ou the morning of March 28 lightning struck the immense chimney of the thread worka twice. The outer course of brick waa torn off In several places and the chimney probably injured in other ways, ao that it waa thought unsafe to continue the operation of the mills till an examination could be mad a.

If the masonry bsd been cracked tbe vibration caused by the runo ing of ponderous engines and thouaaoda or spindles, would widen the crack and perhaps ruin one tbe most costly, tbe tallest, and tbe finest factory chimney in thia mnntrr The hsisht of the stack ia 335 feet, greater than that of any other in the United Statea PIXTXa TRW LADDERS. Tbe examination of the chimney was a prob lem. To build a eeaffolding from tbe ground around ao high a structure is a very expensive end. almost impossible matter, and the scaffolding can never be relied upon aa being safe. The Claras and James Cunningham, tne mason of the establishment, had many discnasious over the euggestion to send a balloon to the top of the abaft, but it waa fea.ed the broken top might injure tbe balloon and kill the aeronaut.

What was to be done? In thia emergency Steeple Climber John Phillips called and offered to etimw tbe chimney and bang a painter's scaffolding from the top. He proposed to use ladders, which be would lash firmly to each other and fix tn tba aide of tbe chimney by meana of aoikea driven Into the cement between the bracks Phillips, who is of the firm of femith A Puil- lipe, slate roofers, ie known throughout Kearny a throughout Kearny i. but such a tuingaa as a reliable business man, his climbing a factory cnimney naa never oeen a beard or. rie eaia tnat no naa aone mis suna of work in Greenock and otber places in the western part of Scotland until four years ago, when be came to America and outraged ia Uie roofing business His proposition was accepted, and last Wednesday he began to escsnd the chimney. I PXOBLESf kxAS THK TOP.

Twenty-two ordinary tight wood ladders wars bought in New York. Ail lengths were taken. until the stock of the establishment was almost exhausted. Witn ladders and ropes snd spikes Phillips eet to work, and in a few hours be demonstrated tbe practicability of bia plan. A fire truck ladder thirty-five feet in length waa used as a foundation, ita apikes at the bottom being sunk in a heavy plank and its upper end fastened to the chimney with hookel spikes which were firmiy driven into the anient Tbe second ladder, wh en ia twenty-five feet long, was lashed to tbe first, nnderianping it five feet A cross cleat of wood waa fastened at the base, to make the union more seen re, and a strong plank waa placed en two protruding spikes to keep the ladder a proper distance from tbe face of the chimney.

Tme prooees waa repeated with tbe next ladd and the next, and so tbe number of ladders slowly increased, until at toe end of tbe first day's work five were tn position on the southwest aide of the chimney. Each was hauled up by a tackle block and rope, operated by two assistants upon the ground. Alter the lower end was secured Phillips daringly climbed it half way and drove the apikea with which it was to bv mads firm. Suoh work weald be impoeaibls to any but a man ef the stoutest nerve and atrooest muscle, and hundreds of spectators gathered about the great chimney and gased upon his task, and wondered at his cooluese and fortitude. He ascended snd descended, and with sledee-hammer blows penetrated the ird cement, apparently without weariness.

Tus second day's work resulted in Phillips reaching height of 200 feet He st first supposed that the job was ona of but about two days, but ha bad not counted on the hardness of the cement and mortar with which the bricks are laid, and Friday's storm interfered with hia regress. If all goes well he will probably niah hia perilous taak Tuesday. The eaimnsr ia round, of symmetrical form, and is a beautiful piece of architecture. At the top there ia a great flare or bell tint baa oa outward slope of live feet, and to overcome thia apparently insurmountable obstaole seems to the a Dictators of the work the most difficult part of the undertaking. PbiUipa feels equal to it, however, and thinks it eaa be dons He intends to carry bia email lad Jars as far up ia a atraigbf course se tbey will go, snd from a point fifteen feet or ao lower run a long ladder to tbs top of tbs bell This will be secured ia the top of the chimney bv meana of pises, snd it will be made steady by a lacing from the top of the uppermost short ladder, so thai Phillips may climb it to drive the apikea, He ears that the outward alopa of the last ladder w'ui not be ao great aa one would suppose, and be does not fear to mount it before it is secured by apikes at the top.

how to orr oris tbs betju Tbe job is a pertioue oue. aud if the weather ia clear the chances are that thousands upon thousands of Deo ta tors will be there to applaud him if be reaches the top alive. Tue work ia more fascinating than tight-rope walking, and it appeals to tbs same of emotions ia tba audience as rope walking' or going into tbe lion'a He may eome out alive or be may not To the landsman and layman it essma a simple impossibility to ao fasten a ladder at the angle required ss to enable the climber to crawl outward and get ever the edge oi tbe bell at tbe top. Phiilipe begaa to climb church eteeplea and factory chimneys when 17 or 18 years old, and frequently risked bis lif la tbe work. He eays thia ia the first opportunity he has had to ao auch things aince he came to America, and be apparently enjoys tbe privilege at last accorded him.

He never had ao accident befall him, but 20O feet was the bighnet point to wbich he ever climbed.
