THE STEAMER HOWARD CAssARD,
which left the Columbian Iron Works,
Baltimore, at S o'clock yesterday morn
ing in tow of the tug Juno, will reach
this city this evening and be moored
at the dock OF the Haskin Vulcanizing
Company. The Cassard is the out
/ growth or rather the miniature of the
Pocahotas, which was to have been
built in this city in 1887, but owing to
some difficulties the scheme had to be
abandoned. The Cassard was launch
ed November Is, 1891 She was built
according to the patented plans of
Robert NJ. Fryer by the Monumental
Construction Company, of Baltimore,
under license from the Arrow Steam
ship Company, of New York. The
Cassard is ODD feet 10 length, over all;
206 feet in length, between perpendicu-
lars: is feet extreme beam. and Is feet
4 inches depth of hold. The engine
III the steamer was designed by Mr..
Fryer, and is specially characterized by
the non-eXposure of any portion there
Of above the water-line, being confined
entirely between decks. When the
euHlle Nau Eeen lDlSneu SeNefal IrlpS
were made, and the feasibility of
It's style was established, the Cassard
having made record of eighteen miles
an hour. The officials of the company
state that the Cassard was transferred,
for the present, to this city, for the rea-
son that more than satisfactory ar
rangements have been made with Mr..
Park Agnew, and for the additional
reason that, the enterprise having been
begun here in the starting of the Poca-
hontas, her supporters considered it
proper that the fual steps toward a
complete vindication of their claims
should be taken here. Mr.. Fryer and
several steamboat men from Baltimore
and Washington are in the city await
ing the arrival of the Cassard. A
handsome model Of her engine is now
at the shipyard on exhibition.

DEATH OF Mr.. RICHARD OWENS =
Mr.. Richard Owens died at his home on
upper Duke street this morning at IL
o'clock. The deceased was what might
be termed a nice boy, and was the son
of the late VIM. Owens, who for many
years conducted the marble business at
the corner of Duke and Alfred streets.
Young Owens, "Dick, as he was called.
was member and instrumentalist Of
the Alexandria Musical Association
from its organization; being Of unas-
Stunning manners and of All accommo-
dating disposition he was much liked
and respected by its members as he was
by all his friends and acquaintance.
Last year one of his arms was amputat-
ed, aud although he was afterwards
cheerful and hopeful of complete re-
coyery, the inroads upon his strength
were too great for him to stand. Con-
scious Of his approaching end, and pos
sesced Of bis faculties to the very last
his death was as peaceful as that of a
child. He was unmarried but leaves a
widowed mother and several sisters.
