w. W. Castle of East Weymouth, Mass, came

Richard H. Moody, who is critically ill at his
home on Court street Mr. Castle was for
many years resident of Belfast and was the
principal stockholder in the Belfast Foundry |
Co., chartered in 1s49, and whose first plant
was located short distance below the Head of
the Tide bridge. 1t then moved to Front
street, where the building of the Duplex Roll
Ter Bushing Co. now stands, and was twice
burned out-in 1851 and 1873. In connection
with the foundry was a machine shop, and the
engine now in use in The Journal office was
built there from designs by Mr. Castle and un-

mate friend of William H. Simpson, then the
editor, and the engine, the only one made, was |
special piece of work. At the same time Mr..
Castle made the plans for boiler to adapt it |

was installed in 1875, has been running con-
stantly since, has cost practically nothing for
repairs, and is as good now as the day it was
built. Mr.. Castle called at The Journal office
last Saturday afternoon, and as he entered the

few places in Belfast that seemed familiar. He
also visited the press room and inspected the
engine. He left for home on Mondays bvat
