EDITION,
Her Ninetieth Year.

Mrs. Arthur Powell, mother Of the
Powell Bros, the well-known Ash deal.
ers, having reached the ninetieth mile.
stone In life's journey, celebrated th..
event last evening by extending an in.
vitation to few intimate friends of ,h,.
family. Among those present were Mr..
G. r. Rudolph, and others, who conyral.
ulated her upon this, her Goth birthday
The lady was the recipient of quite a
number of useful and valuable presents
the most noticeable being a large pound,
cake, heavily coated with icing and con.
tanning her name, time Of birth and az,
in large letters on top Of the icing. Thi,
handsome gift was received from her
nephew, George W. jackson, who r..
sides in Philadelphia. Mrs. Powell de-
scrndcd from II lOng-lived family, her
father having reached his 1921 year be-
fore he died. The lady above alluded
to enjoys good health and at times i,
quite sprightly, and does not appear To
| feel her age at all.
A few weeks ago an amusing inciden,
occurred with the lady, which caus
ed considerable merriment to the mem
bcrS of her family. She was standing
| upon a chair one morning, engaged in
busting the shelves Of a cupboard, when
she undertook To step down, in IA man
ncr that would do Justice to a much
younger person, when she suddenly eX-
claimed, 81 believe am getting old ="
This, when her age il considered, was
| quite an uncommon remark from one so
old, hence the laughter.
Those who called on Mrs. =. last eve.
| ming, spent "A pleasant time, and
upon taking their departure wished he,
many more happy birthdays.

any one of these persons is fatally injured,
still the injuries are of such a character
that they may develop into something
worse than was expected. Besides, the ex-
animation given the sufferers was superb

of horses attached to wagon was standing
where the wall fell, and a part of the
wall struck the wagon and one horse. The
wagon was smashed in pieces and the

THE BOILER THE LOSS.
Mr.. Banholzer stated that the boiler was
three years old, that it was repaired short
time ago, and was good one. When
the explosion occurred there was
only eighty pounds of steam
on, while the boiler has been tested at
$50 pounds. The boiler cost $1,000. The
steam pump was worth about $500.
The engine, $500. The shafting, pulleys,
hangers, etc., $4OO. Injury to building,
$4,000, making the total loss as far as he
could estimate it yesterday, about 1890.
One of the men who worked in the engine
house declared that there was plenty of
water in the boiler.

A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY

Mrs. "Yankee" Casey, of Lakeville, In Mo-
ment of Frenzy Kills Her Boy Baby, and
Cuts Her Own Throat.
Intelligence was received in st. Paul late
Thursday night of terrible tragedy,which
occurred on Wednesday evening in the town
of Lakeville, situated about four miles
from Rosemount. The tragedy involved the
death of mother and her boy baby by
suicide and the details are most harrow
ing. Late on Thursday night a man named
McDermott,a brother of Mrs. James Casey,
better known as yankee" Casey, arrived
in st. Paul and put up at the Boston
boarding house OF East Fourth street.
He seemed overwhelmed with grief and
when asked the reason for his sorrow he
related a sickening story. He stated that
Mrs. Casey, his sister, woman about
twenty eight years of age, had first cut
the throat of her two-year old son and
then cut her own throat. The sad affair
happened on Wednesday evening and
was perpetrated while she was under
a fit of temporary insanity.
The child died almost instantly and the
mother fingered until O'Clock Thursday
morning, she having inflicted a ghastly
cut in her throat, which terminated her life
as stated. AS near as could be ascertained
Mrs. Casey had been unwell for some days
and her mind had wandered. few days
ago she returned from visit to her IA
theirs, and she stated that the house had
been haunted by ghosts.
Nothing special was thought of her hal
lucination until the dread affair of Wednes-
day took place. On the afternoon of that
day she secured her husbands razor. and
taking her twe-year-old child she repaired
to the COW shed, short distance from the
house. Here she took the infant in her
arms and slit its throat from ear to ear
She then deliberately cut her own throat,
and when found she clasped the dead body
of the infant in her arms. AS before stated
she fingered until Thursday morning.
Mr.. McDermott came to st. Paul for cof
fins, and he left for home yesterday morn
ing. The funeral was announced for to-
day. 1t is believed no inquest was held.

AMERICAN SHIPBUILDING.

The New Yards OF Which Lieutenant Com
mander GOrringe Has Taken Charge
The Practicability of Constructing Iron
Ships in This Country to be Demonstrat-
ed.
Especial Telegram to the Globe
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 23.-The new
iron shipbuilding company, of which
Lieutenant Commander Henry H. Gorringe
of the United States navy, is manager,
began work for the first time to-day. The
working force included but two gangs, one
employed in tearing apart the old marine
railway, the other engaged in putting up
the new machinery. Mr. Harten, of New
York, practical shipbuilder, is superin
tendent. The men in charge of the work
we're also from New York. Lieutenant
Commander Gorrings, who was expected
on the grounds to direct the initiatory
step in his new enterprise, was detained
in Washington. The grounds and
buildings secured by the company from
the Reading under its ten years lease
require very little improving. The yard
extends from the river to within so feet of
Bath street, a distance of about 1000
feet. From Allegheny avenue, from the
right to the left boundary line below
CIearfeld street., the distance is $50 feet.
Within this area six different departments
are to be operated. The ship way is 250x
400 feet. On either side of the ship-way is
wharf 100 feet in length. The improve
ments to be made Immediately are largely
on the ship-way, which, after nine years
exposure is very much impaired. A capa-
cious derrick like that at the works of
Cramp & Sons is also to be built. The
boiler, machine, molding, and fange shops
are in good state of preservation. The
brick blacksmith shop, which was partly
blown down in the storm of Oct. 90. 1880,
is to be removed altogether, and an iron
building erected on its site. These i'm
provements, which are to be made at the
expense of the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad company, will be hurried through,
and as soon as material can be obtained
work will be commenced on an iron sailing
vessel, to be built for Mr.. Starbuck, of New
York, prominent ship owner, and an
officer of the Northern Pacific Railroad
company.

CRUELTY TO THE INSANE.
The Legislative Investigation Into the
Management of the DexmOnt, Pa, Ins lne
Misunderstanding Cruelty.

The Legi slative Investigation Into the
Management of the Dexmont, Pa, Ins ,ne
Asylam-Revolting Cruelty.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb 23.-The investiga-
tion by the legislative committee into the
charges preferred against the management
of the Dexmont insane asylum began to-
day. Fl. 2. Hopkins, of Rochester, Pa,
an inmate six months in 1882, testified
that during his stay he had been subjected
to cruel treatment on several occasions.
At one time he rebelled against being
placed in straight jacket and
struck the attendant. He was
thrown down, choked and jumped upon
with knees, breaking two of his ribs. On
another occasion he was tied to led ,tead
for two days, the pinions around one arm
being so tight that the circulation stop
ped. One day two patients quarreled
about a Testament and finally came to
blows, resulting in one being knocked
senseless. The attendants came in and
strapped the other patient around the
neck until he also was senseless.
A number of physicians then examined
hOpkluS, OuU opdtO0 IliOJ WO1O OA1dOAO W
find any signs of broken ribs.
DR.. Given, of Erie, Pa, au inmate for
nearly eight years, was next called. He
testified that he had gone to the asylum
of his own accord, but afterwards was un-
able to get out. He had written friends,
but said the letters were not received. Dur
ing the first year he was thrown down, the
attendant falling upon him, and, with his
fists, rubbed witness ribs so hard that he
was compelled to stay in bed three or four
days. Witness knew of several persons
being kept in the institution who were
sane. Most of them had capers,
but were harmless. Regarding
cruelty to others, he cited a number of
cases. One, an old man named Morris, in
sane and unable to work, was thrown OF
the floor and severely hurt. Another case
was that of German named Thumm, who
asked an attendant for broom. The at
tendant threw him down, saying, "Oh, get
out, you Dutchmanr' When picked up
Thumm had blood on his face and in few
days was dead. Witness did not see them
abuse Thumm further than to push him
into cell. Adjourned till tomorrow.

Good News.

BosToN, Feb. 23.-The stockholders of
the First National bank of Newton, which
failed in 1867, owing to the robbery of
S311,0OO by the cashier, met to-day for
final settlement. The amount stolen had
been used to cover deficiency in the ac
counts. Hartwell, clerk in the sub
treasury of the United States government,
discovered this and retained the money.
Suit brought by the bank in the court of
claims, went against the government.
The attorney general has withdrawn the
appeal and the judgment of the court
stands. The committee reported that de-
positors would be paid in full, and the
stockholders par for their shares.
The above was in connection with the
great Millen, Ward & Co. copper corner,
when $1,250,000 was stolen from the sub
treasury.
