Editor Lake Charles Echo

Editor Lake Charles Echo:
Dear Sir-The writer made a very
pleasant Eisitto our neighboIing town,
Edgerly, last Saturday and formed the
acquaintance of many of the good
people who reside there, and in the
vicinity. We held a two days meet
ing at Antioch Baptist Church. The
congregation on Saturday was small,
owing to Indictment weather. The at
tendance on the Sabbath was much
better, and the people seem deeply in
terested in building mp the waste
places. On our return to Edgerly
Sunday evening, friends assembled at
the residence of Bro. Calvit Andrus,
and we again had the privilege of
speaking in the Masters name. The
extent of the congregation, upon such
short notice, very forcibly reminded
us of those days when the people Of
one accord met to engage in divine
worship. We think it but just to the
people of Edgerly to say that the idea
which some have that the place is one
of extreme wickedness, is hardly well
founded. While it is true, difficulties
of a serions nature have originated
and terminated within its limits, still
we are inclined to believe, that in
many instances, their troubles should
be looked upon as misfortunes of the

DEATH ar REPRESENTA-
TIVE E1AIEN.

on The morning 81 the 18th inst,
IL lilo Wizards Hotel At Washing
ten. DC, the colored fireman m
locked tie door Of Rep. HAhn's room
and entered to stir upllhe fire, when
III saw laying on the iloor near The
wardrobe and surrounded BY 4 pool
Of blood, the body Of q man. Re
turning il an excited manner 10 the
night clerk, be told the story, and
soon the clerk with other parties were
IN the room and found the Repre-
sentative dead. d
on the arrival Of the Coroner, be
summoned Drs. US. Lamb, Billings
and Bliss, and after the body had been
csnied to the nndeFtaker's establish
nent, they began the autopsy and soon
fonnd that death had resulted from
the bursting Of a blood vessel near
the heart.
Upon the assembling Of the House,
Col st. Martin announced the death
Of his colleague and an adjournment
at once took place. Soon after, the
Senate was appraised ofthe death, and
Mr.. Eustis made motion to adjourn
that body.
Representative Hahn had been
afflicted for a month with catarrhal
bronchitis, but his condition was not
thought to be serious nntil, n week
previous to his death. He had en-.
tered upon his Congressional career
with zeal and had made many warm
friends. The only appearance he ever
made, in debate in the House, was
during the discussion of the resoln.
tion asking that the Government
provide an exhibit at the New Orleans
Exposition. In this he presented the
whole question fully, and attracted
general and respectful attention.
Mr. Gay remarked, II did not know
Gov. Hahn personally before I7came
here, bgt ] soon grew to esteem him
] have had a number of conferences
with him about public matters, and
found him a warm and willing friend
of the interests of Louisiana" Tho
Congressional escort left with tht
remains for New Orleans on the 16tl
inst.

The condition of our lake front is
not what it shonld be, nor is IL what
1t must be if we ever expect to reap
any of the advantages which our
proximity to that beautiful sheet of
water would give us were it properly
cared for. Its a matter of astonish-
ment and surprise to all those who
visit our place, that the people, Of
Lake Charles, whose public spirited
ness and progressiyeness are so well
known, have so far, failed to apPre-
ciate the importance Of keeping up
the approaches to this lake, which is
clearly the most important feature Of
our natural surroundings.
There is double advantage to be
gained in identifying and otherwise
improving the front; the most i'm
portant perhaps, would be. the de-
strnetion of the deesying vegetable
matter which is being added to every
day, contrary to every sanitary law,
and in direct violation TO what is
known to be our vital interest. The
next most important consideration is
some arrangement to prevent the cav.
ing of the eastern shore, for If this
continues few years longer at the
rate tits going now, valuable property
will have been undermined and swept
away and the lake made 80 shallow
that wliarpes will have 10 be con
strncted far ont to accommodate thu
shipping. This is not all, as the aref
of shallow water increase 30 does tbs
area ofIthat part left exposed tottht
sun increase at low tides, thus aug
menting the flow Of poisonous gases
and still further endangering thu
health of the town. Some definite
and prompt action should be taken il
the matter ofthis and other needed
Improvements and If the moneyis no
inithe treasury, ascertain the wishei
Of the people and we are satisfied tina
q large majority Of our citizens vii
sustain onr council in their efforts *
promote the health and happiness 81
orr people.
