N ew Y ork , March 25.—A special to
the World from Newcastle, Pa., says:
Owing to the attitude of the labor un­
ions the City Council will in all proba­
bility reject the $50,000 offer of Andrew
Carnegie for a public library for this
place, Following the action of the trades
assembly, division 89. Amalgamated
Association of Street-Railway Employes,
has adopted a resolution protesting
against the acceptance of the gift. A
committee to whom the matter had been
referred at a previous meeting, reported
the following:
“That such donations are inimical to
the independence American manhood is
assumed to possess (on general princi­
ples), and especially so in this case when
such flagrant injustice, even to murder,
has been done to those whose toil is rep­
resented in every dollar of the money
thus tendered.
"To erect such a library here, and by
its silent or its partisan outspoken influ
ence, induce our children to look upon it
as a logical, necessary and unavoidable
method of obtaining certain benefits,
tends to destroy in their minds any idea
of National justice or human rights, and
make of them willing supplicants at the
mercy of this system of corporate greed
which deals out a part of the sum iu char­
ity it originally .appropriated from the
producers to whom it aloue rightfully be­
longs which sum, if they had fully re­
ceived, would have enabled them to have
owned a library instead of now being,
as all others who are similarly robbed,
the objects of charity. It would be some­
thing like a semblance of justice if these
donations were made to the widows and
orphans of Homestead. We deem them
as worthy of remembrance as the Maine.
“A city will enrich enormously a few
men and then be itself the object of char­
ity. We, therefore, condemn this library
move as an insult to him it is said it will
benefit most, the workingman; he does
not want charity, but justice.”
Dog Raft for the Orient
I
*
One of the most stupendous enterprises
ever launched on the pacific coast is an­
nounced. The Robertson Raft Company,
of which Captain Robertson is president,
in the near future will build a mammoth
raft containing about 10,000,000 feet of
logs, which will be towed across the Pa­
cific Ocean to Oriental points.
For several years the Robertson Raft
Company has been engaged in construct­
ing and towing to San Francisco large
rafts, and while one or two were lost,
the company has profited by part exper­
iences and now the safe arrival in the
Bay City of a log raft of 1,000,000 feel
is no uncommon incident. The successes
of the past few years have inspired the
raft company with confidence, and it has
decided that if a raft can be successfully
towed to San Francisco, one can also be
towed across the ocean.
The present sc ene of the operations of
the Roberston Raft Company is West­
port, on the Columbia River, about 60
miles below Portland. At present it is
building a raft made up of about 6,000,-
<>00 feet which will be completed bv the
first of June. A large “V“-shaped Hume
has been constructed which is about ten
miles long, and which runs through the
town of Westport. There is a vast tim.
her belt back of Westport, and several
crews of woodsmen arc at work there,
tie logs are put into the Hume and floated
to the river. The Columbia at this point
L amply sheltered, and does not feel the
effec ts of the gales that somet mes come
sweeping up the river, and is a model
spot for the company’s operations. The
site was selected out of 20 or more others
owing mainly to i.s sheltered position
and the quantity of timlier in the immed­
iate vicinity.

Daring Bank Robbery.

B irmingham , Ala., March 25.—A cy­
clone which swept oyer Jones Valley, in
which Birmingham is located, between 9
and 10 o’clock this morning, resulted in
immense damage to property and con­
siderable loss of life. The number of dead
is not yet definitely known, but up to
noon today it was estimated at 25, of
these at least seven being killed at Iron­
dale, about 15 intheCity of Birmingham
and the others in suburban towns.
The entire fire and police departments
turned out to render aid and at this
hour are still engaged in taking the dead
and injured from the debris and sending
them to undertaking shops and hos­
pitals.
At Pratt City, nine buildings were des­
troyed, although a number of people
were more or less injured. Brighton and
North Birmingham were more or less-
damaged. The extent of damage at Iron­
dale is not yet known, but it is stated
that seven people were killed.
C olvmvs , 0., March 26.—Seven men
robbed the Somerset Bank about 1:30
o’clock this morning. Only about $5000
in cash was taken, the robbers in their
hurry overlooking $5000 in gold coin
and $30,000in bonds and time securities.
Three men worked in the bank and four
were stationed as sentienls near bv.
At the first explosion Mr. Hayes, living
opposite the bank, came out and was
met by a sentinel, who told him to get
back into the house if he did not want
his head blown off. Mr. Lovett, another
citizen, took four shots at the robbers.
These shots were returned and a fusillade
was kept up for some time. Armed
citizens pursued the robbers some dis­
tance north, the police here were noti­
fied and all nearby towns instructed to
keep a sharp look-out for the robbers.
The Sheriff of Perrv County at New
Lexington was notified, and drove to
Somerset with his bloodhounds The
dogs readily took up the trail, which led
from a blacksmith shop where the tools
were obtained, thence to a livery stable
and to the banks. Two rigs had been
stolen and after the robbers had driven
away, the officers waited for daylight to
follow the wheel tracks. A hard fight is
expected if the band is captured.
After the robbers had completed their
work the men were lined up in single file
and the leader gave the order: “All
ready, forward march.”
The robbers were as cool as soldiers on
dress parade. The stolen horses were
recovered about 4 o’clock, three and a
half miles from town, where they had
been abandoned. The robbers were then
making their way toward Headley
Junction.
The bank at Somerset is located in n
brick building, and the force of the ex.
plosion blew out the entire front and
scattered debris all over the street.
The bank isa stateinstitution. Samuel
Ream is the president, and A. B. Ream
the cashier. The loss is fully covered by
insurance. The bank is not crippled
financially._____
“Come along, old fellow, I want you
to come and celebrate the event bv
having dinner with me.’’
“ Why, what’s happened ?”
“ My rival is dead.”
“Rival? I thought you were married.’’
“So I am, but I’ve had a rival, never,
theless. He’s gone, though—died this
morning in my wife’s arms.”
“Great Caesar! Are you the kind of a
man to stand that ? Well, you surprise
me. Who was he ?’*
“ She loved him before we were married
and she brought him tc the house. He
was a complete stranger to me then, and
we’ve never been very good friends at
any time. But he's- gone, and I'in glad
of it.’’
“ Well, well. If you are not the great­
est idiot—what was his name?”
“ Fido.”
And they went off together chuckling.
K ansas C ity , Mo., March 25.—A dis­
patch received at the general offices of
the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis
Railroad, in this city, at 3:15 this after­
noon from the agent of that road at
Birmingham, Ala., says that up to that
time (3 p.m.) 50 dead bodies had been re­
covered at Irondale, which town is de­
scribed as having been almost complete­
ly wrecked.
A tlanta , Ga., March 25,—Reports re­
ceived here are to the effect that all com­
munication by wire with Birmingham is
cut off. Only one wire is now operating,
that by the Western Union north through
Nashville. A wire working as far as
Leeds, on the Georgia Pacific, says that
the cyclone passed north of that point.
The Highlands, a suburb of Birmingham,
through which the storm is said to have
passed, is on a high ridge overlooking
the valley in which Birmingham is sit­
uated. The trainmaster of the Southern
railway here reports that all wires are
down west of Anniston.

Source of His Enthusiasm.
“ William,” said the eloquent orator,
calling his private secretary to his desk,
“ did I say last night at the banquet, as
the papers report me, that ‘ the dawn of
a better day is upon us, when political
influence shall be no longer the passport
to public office, and men shall be chosen
to fill positions of honor and trust solely
on their merits and their disinterested
patriotism ?’ ”
“ Yes, sir,” replied the private secretary.
“ The papers quote you correctly, sena-
tor.”
“What a frightful quantity of cham­
pagne I must have drunk, William!” ex­
claimed the eloquent orator.
Cheerful View of It.
“Yes,” said the gentle optimist, “ I
confess I am superstitions enough to
wear a lucky stone.”
“ And do you really think it gives you
lutk_?"
“Oh, I am quite sure of it.”
“ Did you have it with you yesterday?”
“ Certainly.”
“ And in spite of it you lost a $5 gold
piece out of your pocket, tore your coat
by catching it on a nail, sprained your
ankle and failed to close the business
deal of which you expected so much.”
‘True,’’ replied the gentle optimist,
“ but think of what might have hap­
pened to me if I hadn’t had my lucky
stone. »»»
