Improving tho Bowers Enrm.

The Smyrna Times says: We have on
one or two occasions noted at length the
pur chaser Of the Bowers farm. 1874 acres
just north Of Clayton by Rev. FatherJ.
A. DeRuyter. with the view Of view of
making an industrial home for ooiored
boys-to be known as st. Joseph's Home.
The idea with this. as with a similar
home In Wilmington. is to gather up
the homeless boys ana give them an op-
portunity to learn a trade-ln fact, It Is a
branch of the Wilmington home.
Mechanics Of Smyrna Clay ton and Will
-nington find steady employment In COL
structlng the large additions for chapel,
workshops, stables. etc. The two large
wlngs erected to the large house already
on the farm. will give It frontage OF 1870
feet. An engine will be put In 20 run the
machinery in the different shops.
Substantial etabllng is being erected 100
feet long. for horses and cattle. As farm
ing lie to form an important feature in tho
culture Of the boys. the low places. of
which there are several In the fields, are
being underdTained with Smyrna tile.

men of their danger, an eight story build
ing in course Of erection and nearing COM
pletion, at West Broadway and Third
street, collapsed yesterday. There is diff
ferends Of opinion as to how the accident
occurred. The prevailing idea is that an
immense iron beam on one of the upper
floors snapped, the floor gave way and
crashed down through the building.
There was great V shaped jagged hole
In all the floors and at the bottom of the
wreck were piled up bags of lime which
had been stored on an upper floor, mingled
with bricks, timbers, beams and tools,
and from the mass came the groans and
cries of wounded workmen. The hremen
and police who came early to the scene
could hardly see to perform their work Of
rescue.
When Coroner Fitzpatrick arrived to
look after the dead, he said as q practical
builder 1t was his opinion that the disas-
ter had been caused by the sandy nature
of the land on which the structure had
been set
The dead are: Charles Smith, electri-
cian died at st. Vincent's hospital; John
Burke, laborer, married, Al years of age;
lived in Brooklyn; Charles e, Peterson,

Five men were seriously injured and
eleven Others are missing. The latter.
