The Stone Bridge.

The Pennsylvania railroad company
has of late years adopted the stone
bridge as safer and more durable than
the iron bridge; and the experience with
the stone bridge which replaced the iron
bridge at .Iohnstown, amply confirms
the Judgment Of the Pennsylvania s
rugged chief engineer, Mr.. Brown. But
one thing he did not take into the cal
culation, and that is the public safety.
This Is the natural habit Of the railroad
engineer. II is his business to take care
Of the railroad interests and II the
public interest conflict with them, so
much the worse for the public interests.
The Pennsylvania railroad engineering
structures offer abundant testimony OF
this disposition TO take care first of the
railroad and doubtless all other railroad
engineering is as selfish. Roads and
streets, as well as streams, are crossed
with little regard to any other but
the railroad interest and II was
30 done at this ,Iohnstown stone bridge,
which has stood against the food but
which piled up the waters behind 1t ana
gathered there the houses, trees, engines
and debris Of all kinds, that made a
charnel house for thousands of men,
women and children, mussing upon
fifteen acres of ground, material that
contractorFlynn says TO- 600 men will nn
remove In thirty days. II is fair con
clusion fhat the stone bridge is response
bic for much of the loss of life, in caus-
ing the entsngliug Of the victims in this
mass of wreckage and in backing the
waters upon the town and that TO II Is
also due the cost of digging away the
debris, that but for 1t would have passed
out with the current n cost that may
amount TO half million of dollars.
Perhaps the flood consideration did
not occur to the engineer in planting
this impregnabc stone bridge across
this narrow valley though the bridge
! obstruction is said TO be now II main con
sideration with the Cambria Iron com
pany, in determining the question of re
building their works at Johnstown
They see that, in every time of flood
hereafter, this bridge will be apt to catch
the floating stuff, and build up dam
that will back the waters upon the
valley above il. The bridge will not give
way, and IL is too low not 10 he an OH
struction In flood time.
II therefore appears that the question
of a stone bridge is public question, in
which the people are interested aud
I which the state should take connizance
/, Of The stone bridge sundoubtedly the
hes! bridge for durability and safety
~ bridge but 1t seems that il may
not be built In narrow valleys where il

The South Fork Dam.

The New York newspapers, in view OF
the destruction of the South Fork dam
are discussing the advisability of build
ing the dam on the Croton creek, by
which II Is proposed TO store up an I'M
mense body of water for the city's use.
II is to be four times as high as the South
Fork dam, and the reservoir will hold
many times as much water. The differ
ence in the situation is, that the dam
will stand but two or three miles from the
Hudson, which will take its overflow,
through an unpopulated valley, upon
its ample bosom, and may he expected
to be little disturbed by il though the
whole body of water should be emptied
upon II at once. Besides, the New
Workers think that they can build a
dam that will stand.
Ana SO doubtless they can. \ Ger
man engineer was caught by a Pitts
burg reporter in that town the other
day, and related how great dams were
constantly being built in Europe with
out fear that they would not do il,eir
work and he was unable 10 ex-
plain the breaking Of the south
FORK uahl upon any theory OF its proper
construction and there is no doubt
that II was not in proper condition.
The large body of wealthy Pittsburg
gentlemen who owned il doubtless
Thought IL safe, though il is not easy 10
believe that the clubs officers and engi-
nees had like conviction. But evil

Jnportci Scholars.

The Catholic University, to be estnh-
lishcd at Washington, has received
warning that II cannot import men of
learning. In history we find that the
wisest rulers of the most progressive
lands were famous for their hospitality
to men OF learning of whatever nation,
but by the awkward form Of our alien
contract labor law, we progressive Amer
icins have deliberately refused To receive
scholars from abroad. Men whose lives
are devoted 10 study and research, are
the pioneers in the intellectual develop
mcnt Of the race, and whether their en-
iucnce has been earned In profound
theology or clear and practical scientific
research, they are an honor to the ma
ton whose hospitality they accept, and
will net as bride and spur 10 its progress.
II il true that we have our own
neglected men of learning and rare abil-
ty, but they will. be benefited rather
than harmed by foreign competition.
A. they prove their ability to cope with
the expensive foreign article, their own
value in society will be better apprccia-
ted. Who can doubt that the Scotchman
MCCosh has done vast good To the cause
Of learning In his adopted land. Lead
ing in self-govcrnmcnt, we must lead in
education and the encouragement of all
learning.
Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1889-06-06

Judging from these remarks In which
he INDUCED himself to a reporter after
the disaster but before the dam had
been found broken and empty.
az am going mp there to fish the latter
part of this month";" quoth the major.
al believe the dam Is standing there
the same as il ever was. We have all
been shaking hands with ourselves for
some years ON being pretty clever busi-
ness men, and we would not be likely to
drop that much money in a place that
we though unsafe"
Just so but probably the major does
not think himself So clever or wise as he
once did. Certain II is that he would
find il troublesome and expensive to
find anyone to take his place I'm the club
| and assume his share Of the moral
and pecuniary responsibility for the
| damage its dam has done. II Is well
for people to be clever enough to get rich f,
ms these South Fork club men have done ;
but IL would bc better if they were clever
enough 10 know how 10 mind the out
side businesses they get into after they
got rich or wise enough to keep out OF
unless they know, or can hire man
who does know, what dam should I've.
The major will agree with us when hc
reads that
The coroner visited the dam to-day and
has aiken full testimony under oath from
those who knew most about it, IL lays NJ
the threshold of the owners of tho
dam the responsibility for all this hor-
ror Criminal negligence in the con
| struction OF the dam, in its maintenance,
| its management, its repairs, or lack of re,
| pairs, the keeping of its gates Is charged
| directly upon them. The witnesses swear
! that the dam was built Of clay instead %
! stone. II contained a body of "ator far be
! yond the strength of the material. It'
leaks were stopped by stuiiing them

TUE venerable de Lessops buhs up
sercuciy at a meeting of the SueZ Canal
company and explains the nin,os, forgotten
mystery OF the admission of tho English to
share in the management Of that great
French company. He said that after six
years he was able to explain tha, the Lon
don agreement was made In order to save
tho company from being ruined through
the kholivo's granting concession for
now canal. He read u letter written at the
time ot the agreement by the French cm-
bassador at London. in which the latter
congratulated Count dc Lcsseps upon his
tirmness and ability in averting the danger
of an English built canal. The letter was
received with applause. The French are
hero worshipcrs, aud there is enough
horoism about this old man to oVcrhalanco
the blame that must he given him for par-
mitting the outrageous mismaugcmcnt
OF the Panama enterprise. Thoroughly
reliable accounts OF the waste aud
ruin of million of dollars worth of
property at Panama leave no room
To doubt that corruption aud rccklc
waste were rampant IN the company. aud
II looks doubtful whether there was any
serious effort on the part of the engineers
complete the canal. II would appear that
they realized the gigantic difficulties of the
task when too late 10 avoid them.

A Sensible Motion.

i,e governor has done n very sensible
Ming in calling the Board of Public
Charities together to-day AT the capital
with intent that IL shall take charge of
the distribution of the contributions of
all kinds made for the relief OF the food
sufferers in Pennsylvania. Such action
has become necessary in view of the large
contributions, the wide spread of the dis
asten and the inability of each contribut-
ing point TO determine where its gifts are
needed. SO far the tide of aims has set
into the Conemaugh valley, and il has
been supplied with many things for
which there Is urgent need elsewhere.
There must be some central direction for
the flow, sending il in needed quantity
to all the places afflicted there
will he an abundance of contri-
buttons for every real need, but
the contributors do not want their
donations wasted, nor do the suf-
fering communities want either too great
or too small supply. This movement
therefore imposing the distribution upon
the Board Of Charities, comes none too
soon. There are many sections where
relief is needed that have had none of 1t
owing to their having been so long cut Off
from communication, The Susquehanna
branches seem to have been in many
places swept clean Of houses and stock
and their towns put many feet under
water. Such delugc was never before
known to them, and it cannot be but
that many hitherto unaided commuu-
tiles are in need Of the help that is ST
ready to he rendered 10 the suffering.
Our state has never had its symrathies
10 aroused, and its purses SO opened rs
