BoRINGs ARE A SUCCESS
A Good Foundation Found For
Experiment Building at
Fort Madison.

AS the result of two weeks borings
at the site of old Fort Madison much
has been learned by the men having
the work in charge of the condition
of soil on which it will be necessary
to build the foundation for the con
templated building at that point
In spite of the bad condition of the
weather the drillers have been busily
engaged most of the time since the
drilling equipment reached here. 1t
is intended to build at that point an
experimental station where various
experiments relating to machinery
may be conducted. 1t is to learn the
nature of the soil on which the foun-
dations will be placed that the drill
ing is being conducted. No report
has, as yet, been made as TO the ma
ture of the material encountered, but
it is understood that the report will
be very favorable one.
AS the building will extend out into
the water for some distance it will
probably be necessary to use pil:ng
and rip-rap ON which to build the foun-
dation. This will assure a good I'M
derpinning and a stability not expected
when the work was first projected
It is expected that as soon as the re-
port of the contractor now making the
test drills is received at the Navy De-
partment the plans for the building
will be completed and bids received
for the work. If there is no hitch in
the plans it is probable that the work
will be started in the early spring
and pushed to rapid completion. The
building will be of large dimensions,
fitted with the lathes and most APP
proved machinery for conducting ex-
periments suitable to the needs of the
navy and will have full corps of ex-
pert machin SITS.

County Commissioners

Besides discussing the matter of in.
creasing the taxable basis of the coun-
ty, the County Commissioners trans.
acted other business yesterday
The tax rate for the roads in the
Second district was increased ) per
cent. on the 500, the legal rate of rs
cents having been proved insufficient
But two bids were received for haul
ing and spreading shells on the Light
streeG road between the Fourth ana
Third districts. These were consider
ed too high and were rejected.
1t was reported by the clerk that the
receipts from the Severn ferry for the
past week had been SIS. So. This did
not compare very favorably with the
fact that the tug hire alone is $50 per
day. Owing to the fact that the new
draw has been completed the ferry
has been dispensed with.

NEW YORK, May u.-Bowed by the
weight of years and the shame that had
come to him in his old age. Thomas Cos
tello, chief clerk and oldest employee in
the service of the Paymaster's office OF
the United States Navy. a man who had
handled s.. 100000 annually for more than
a half century, stood before Judge
Thomas. in the Federal court of Brook

He had admitted that he had appro-
priated ST.. 600 of the money realized at
the junk sales at the navy yard, and
gambled 1t at horse races.
Extreme Penalty.
For this the Judge sentenced him to
spend five years in Sing Sing prison and
TO pay a fine of $500. 1t was the ex-
IRENE penalty.
In the court room were men who mad
known Costello for three decades, and
all that time as a man of upright char
acter. He had enjoyed the confidence of
his suDeriors in a marked degree and
had served since 1856. He was a veteran
of the civil war.
Among his personal friends he had
reckoned some of the wealthiest mer
of the country. Some of them had been

who handled such vast sums of money
should have been paid larger salary
This, however. did not detraet from the
crime of grand larceny, of which Cos
