A PECULIAR CASE.

A Woman oGsoms Wealth Sent to Weston.
Could not Secure BondSmsn 70 Insurs
her Sane Behavior.
A woman, owning eleven houses, and
reputed to possess considerable wealth,
yet unable to get bond for her good be-
havlor, was taken TO Weston asylum
yesterday, in charge of Miss Flora
Kearns, matron in that institution.
Two days ago Squire Rogers adjudged
Mrs. o. F. Barrett, insane. Mrs. Bar
rett Is seventy-slx years of age. and
recently her strange conduct necesslta-
ted inquiry as to her sanity.
She lived in the second story Of the
house at 10 Twenty-first street. The
first floor was filled almost to the cell
ing with Iron. brass, and various kinds
OF rubbish. Mrs. Barrett being junk
dealer. Her home was viewed by the
neighbors In the light OF a haunted
house, and little children always took
good care to play their games some dis
lance away. Several tons OF iron and
other metal were stored In the house.
Mrs. Barrett was supposed to possess
some money, and her reputation as
miser was well sustained, but not the
most ardent believer In her wealth ever
dreamed OF the sight that confronted
the eyes of the constables who went to
her home yesterday. In the informal In
vestIgation were found one 5000 check
OF deposit, another for $500 and sever
al for smaller amounts.
1t was thought that the bond would
be raised to avoid sending the aged wo-
man to the asylum, but 1t was not fur
nished.

IRENE western side Is assure in the
limestone, from one to four feet wide
and forty or fifty long. We prepared
our ropes for descending into this, be-
iievfng that It would lead US below. But
when we had tied a rope to lantern
and had let 1t down, and could see no
bottom, we abandoned our project OF
getting down in that quarter. Furtu-
nately, we found broken place In the
precipIce which had first turned US
back, and we made our way down a
hundred feet more, and found Ourselves
In ano.her room, much larger than the
one above. The roof was more than 100
feet high, as we Judged. The room
would seat 10000 people. So perfect
were the acoustic properties OF this
ghostly cavern that we could converse
In a whisper 100 feet apart Our Ian
terms were mot strong enough to light
the whole room, and only by setting
paper on fire could we see It all at once.
We had our first sight of the preclpice
that stopped us. It formed one wall or
this room. Its crest was not less than
ninety feet above US. The room was OF
irregular form with galleries and al
coyes leading OF. It contained no ele-
ment OF beauty: everything was gloomy
and dim.
So Far; No Farther.
Down to this point the descent can be
made without much danger by good
climber who knows the way and will
keep his nerve steady. But in going
down deeper, the danger rapidly In
crcases, because the passages are small
and there is likelihood Of becoming
wedged fast between rocks. We were
now 500 feet below the entrance, and
had not yes found the looked-for pas
sage leading under the mountain to the
E,llI river cavern. We stlll hoped to find
Il, and after long search we found
openings leading further down. but they
were small. We reached an extreme
depth. almost perpendicular depth, OF
eco feet. The last ninety feet was sheer
down through an opening no larger than
a well, and In places mot eighteen inches
across, It was like going down Chin
new. II become so small we could so no
further: and we had not found what We
were looking for, We had consumed
three hours In hard labor in descending
thnt eco feet, and It took US one hour 10
climb TO the surface OF the ground.
Those who enjoy underground scenery
will be repaid by going down u the
floor OF the second large room which Is
500 feet from the entrance; but my ad-
vice 10 that no one should go further
There is nothing to see. But, those who
want TO tempt fate may do so, and they
will find the opening by going to the eX-
IRENE north end OF the gallery leading
into the lower large room, and there en-
ter n cleft In the floor which Is not hard

soldier and his friends who have wended
their way hitherward so long as their lives

decorated their streets today In a manner
never witnessed before. They have met
us at every step and have shown us by
every means we can imagine that not only
does loyalty live in their hearts. but that
loyalty has generated feeling Of kindness,
of regard and sympathy for every one who
has borne the banner Of his country, who
drew a saber in It's defense, or who pointed
a musket for its preservation and for the
flag which today waves over an undivided
country. Let US while here show that feel
ing Of kindness and forbearHlce one TO
another that ought to belong to generous
soldier. Let our meetings be calm, consid-
