DECRY CARNEGIE'S GIFTS.
BROOKLYN PROFESSOR AND ANOTHER
SPEAKER MAKE LIGHT OF THEM AT
GET TOGETHER CLUB DINNER

The Get Together Club had a dinner last night
on the steamship La Lorraine at Morton-st., and
two of the speakers decried the giving OF libra
ries. They mentioned Mr.. Carnegie's recent
gifts in particular
Professor Brainerd Kellogg. dean of Polytech-
mic Institute. Brooklyn, speaking educa-
tion. said:
An idea has gone abroad that number of
libraries means education. l do not think l
never knew time when there such large
amount OF literary mush being issued from the
press as to-day no matter if Carnegie and
others of their kind are giving money to libra
ries. l think they will not do much good
is expected. because the masses of the people
that the libraries are intended for-are not in
a position TO pick out the good books from the
others. The masses need more than books for
their education
James =. Archibald said the subject La
bor" that the working man had done great
deal TO help the progress and development of
this country, but that he had got but small
share of the fruits OF his labor. He did not
believe that the giving of libraries doing
the workingman much good by who
had accumulated millions those men with the
millions could do if they would give their work
ingmen a chance to make decent living with
out crushing them down, was the cases at
Homestead and Bull Penn. Idaho. Men like
Peter Cooper did far more good than men who
acquired their money some men did and
then distributed libraries all over the country.

SHERADAN'S DAY OF MOURNING.
GBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE. ]


Pittsburg, MAY 13.-The amount Of death and
ruin wrought by the fearful explosion of naph-
tha at Sheradan yesterday has exceeded the first
estimates. Twenty-Five lie dead and 172 others
were burned and injured by the explosions. The
damage TO private property runs into the thou
sands and the Panhandle Railroad Company's
loss may exceed half a million. The flames were
not eXtinguished until some time this afternoon.
They resisted all efforts of the fremen, who
worked bravely but with fear and trembling
for directly under the blazing tracks lies
thirty-siX inch natural gas main Some thought
that the explosion of last night and the fire
might have created a leak; but no gas escaped
and explosion consequently occurred.
Superintendent McCarty. of the Panhandle
Railroad, made official investigation of the
horror to-day. and has decided that there
four distinct explosions. The of all was

were being taken to another part of the yards

switch lamp, and three cars exploded. Fair
was severely injured. The flames set fire to the
yardma sters offices. Then the trainmen tried
10 cut off the other seven cars. Fire companies
were sent for. and they began playing on the
names. They had been at work time,
and the fire seemed 10 be extingushed when
suddenly there came another explosion and the
ether of naphtha was scattered in all direc-
tions. enveloping hundreds of people who had
gathered TO watch the fire. This was the death
blast.
Just before it occurred, the naphtha from the
broken cars ran into Cork Run sewer. and, be-
coming ignited. in some unknown manner. X

DIRECTOR GENERAL ROVER SAYS HARDEST
PART HAS BEEN FINISHED.
Louis Roger who arrived on the steamship
Aanca from Colon yesterday and who is the
director general on the isthmus of the New Panama
Canal Company. and has had charge OF the work
for the last five years talked of the canal and the
work that had been done.
There present." he said "ffteen hundred
men at work the canal That the hardest part
of the work has been finished is something which
believe. is not generally known. The section of
the isthmus which is known by the name OF Guile
bra is $50 metres above the level of the sea We
have dug down 40 metres. which leaves the bottom
of the excavation only forty metres from the level
of the sea. The Walker Commission, which was
assigned by the United States to investigate the
canal ruled that the highest point of the canal
could be but twenty metres from the level. You
will see. therefore, that have not much more
work to do in that direction.
IF the United States should not purchase the
canal shall dig down within twelve metres of
the level. which was recommended by the
French Government but the canal in its present
condition would have to have many more men and
have millions of dollars spent it be finished in
the route from Colon. the Atlantic side to
Panama. on the Pacific"
Mr. Roger said he would see NJ Iampre the
secretary of the company, who is at Washington
negotia ting with Congress for the of the canal
nor would he discuss the sale.
