COWLES REPORTS
 ACTIVITIES OF
 LAkEVIEW HOME
Says That Expenditure of $1OO,- 900 to Make Present Build ings Safe or Adequate Would
 be Wilful Waste of Money

The annual report of Merle c. Cowles, superintendent of Lakeview
 Home displays the varied activities of the institution. which is getting to
 be almost self contained" raising much of it's food supply and doing much other work with the force at its command. New fire escapes have been added steam kettles purcha sed and a mechanical potato parer, which permits stock to be used that had to be fed, and which has created a surplus of this vegetable to be sent to the Charities Building for general distributtpn. Brick taken from an old boiler setting has been used to erect smoke house so that the home now cures it's own ham and bacon. Three hundred vegetable crates have been made from waste lumber, and the ar rival of an intinerant tinsmith has en- tinware.
 An investment in a drove of shoats, made after the fall killing, has pro- duced profit of $116. The old ambu- lance horse Billy became so old that he had to be killed and this made it necessary to buy a new horse to mate up with the sorrel. Moreover, the old pair has been traded for a good young pair, giving the home four good teams, a single cart horse and a light driving horse Farm stuff was produced which was worth $7,5Os. The live stock on hand is worth s3,662
 But the Home is somewhat over crowded, for it contained 26O inmates April 1. The superintendent declares that the Home is a fire trap and says:
 Tn closing would like to say that Of the 102,000 citizens of Bridgeport, outside of those who have been in- mates, I believe that less than two hundred really know, or have taken the trouble to inform themselves of the crowded condition of the Home and that those who are loudest in their opposition to new building have not visited the place in recent years and are talking through ignorance of ac- tual conditions, or are willfully de- celvtng themselves and trying to blind others. The committee of the Board of Aldermen and some of the mem bers of the other city boards, as we'll as several architects and a number of practical builders, have looked the Institution over and, after careful in spection, almost to a man they agree that it would be folly of the most ex- pensive kind to attempt to remodel or build on to the present building as it Is fire trap from beginnin to end, and that the expenditure of s1OO, 900 or anything like that amount in an attempt to make the present build- ing safe, would be not only "wilful waste" and a "crime against the tax but as idiotic as the proposf- tion that putting in "new floors and beams" would make it in any sense fireproof.
 For the information of some of our Editorial Writers I desire to again re- port that the buildings have been equipped with electric lights for near ly four year, and for the past eigh- teen months the heating apparatus has been in detached building. But even these improvements do not pro- vide security from fire'' nor afford a reasonable degree of comfort to the inma tes''

HYDE SENTENCED TO DEATH.
October 20 Date Fixed-Commutation
May be Asked.

Anderson, Sept. 22.-Samuel N.
Hyde, who was convicted of the muir
der of his wife, was this afternoon
sentenced by Judge Prince to hang on
Friday, October 20. When asked by
the court if there was any reason why
the death sentence should not be pro-
nounced, Hyde, in strong clear
voice, stated, in substance, that the
witnesses, referring to the mother of
Mrs. Hyde and a brother-in-law, ]. P.
Moore, had sworn falsely when they
testified that he had made his home
unpleasant and that he was cruel to
his wife; that his wife was the only
woman he ever loved.
"If," he said, .''the jury and court
believe it to the best interest of my
little son that I forfeit my life, then
am ready and willing to pay the pen
atty"
There are many who followed the
case Of Hyde closely, who believe that
he is not sane man, and among these
there is some talk of circulating petit
tons asking Gov. Blease to commute
mis- s. entence to life Imprisonment.
Leon L. Rice, who was appointed to
defend the prisoner, gave notice to the
solicitor of appeal to the supreme
court. after Judge Prince had overrul-

PASSENGERS PASS
NIGHT ON TRESTLE
Unable to Leave Coaches of Wrecked
Train ON the Southern Rail.
way ~

Atlanta, Ca, Sept, 23.-Passengers
aboard the southern; railway train
that collided with a switch engine on
Peachtree creek trestle, near Atlanta,
last night, were forced to spend the
night in the coaches of the train at
the scene OF the wreck. Marooned
above the creek were nearly $50 per
sons, many of them injured, waiting
for relief which the inaccessibility OF
the place rendered dificult-
i night long members of working
crews struggled to remove a mass OF
scrap iron, once the switch engine
which toppled over when struck by
MESSENGER train, to rescue the mangled
bodies of Engineer J. A. Ferriss and
Fireman n. NJ. Robinson, the only per-
sons killed.
On one sidesQf the passenger train
we're the wrecked freight cars that
we're attached to the switch engine.
A single plank across the deep, sWl1t
running waters of the creek afforded
the only means Of access to the traln'
After crossing the plank a high bank
had to be scaled before the train could
be reached. The piled up Wreckage
had to be moved before an engine
could reach the passenger train and
haul it to Athens, thence to this city.
Among those injured were: ". A.
Singleton, mail clerk, Westminster S.
c.: Miss Dora Dills, Arto, n. c.;
Misses Nellie and Margaret Mccarthy,

JUDGE r. c. WATTS IN THE RACE.
Will Again he Candidate for Associate
Justice Advanced by
His Friends.

Cheraw, Sept 21.-It is extremely
gratifying to his many friends
throughout the State to know that
Judge Watts is again candidate for
associate justice, the Office to which
he aspired last year. Thus early in
the season letters and expressions OF
endorsement are coming in from sew
eral directions, and they differ very
little in the ground they take or the
reasons they give for endorsing Judge
Watts's candidacy. Following are
some of the points made:
CD Judge Watts is the ranking cir.
cult Judge on the bench.
(2) He stands high in the estima-
ton of the bar of the State.
90 He led the race in the contest
before the legislature last year.
a. A larger proportion Of his de-
cisions have been sustained by the su-
preme court than of any other circuit
Judges on the bench. A number OF
persons have checked up the supreme
court decisions and found this to be
the case, it is stated.
The opinion seems to be that Il
there is any just recognition OF a
Judges right to promotion, and of his
eminent services On the bench, the Of
fee of associate justice, which was
created by an act of the legislature
last year, will fall to Judge Watts.
