CASEY His Death Officially Announced by the War Department. SKETCH OF HIS DISTINGUISHED CAREER He Enjoyed the Perfect Confidence of Congress. HIS FUNERAL TOMORROW Brigadier General Thomas Lincoln Casey, retired, formerly chicf of engineers of the army, died sudderly yesterday afternoon at his residence in this city, No. 1419 K street notthwest. The news of kis death was first communicated to the publie by a@ postscript_in The Star of yesterday. In acesrdanc> with bis usual custem, Gen. Casey left his home yesterday morning to Inspect the progress of the work on the new Congressional Library building, the construction of which had been committed to his care by a special ac: of Congress. He seemed in his usval health when he left home, In company with his son, Mr. E. Pearce Casey, and took an F street car for Capitol Hill. This wag about 11 c’clock. While in the car the general com- ed of severe pains in his chest, which Lecame so acute by the time the car neared the Capitol that he was compelled to Ie down on the seat. The passengers in the car made room for him, and did what they could- to alleviate his sufferings. He re- covered somewhat, however, by the time the car reached the library building on East Capitol street, but as he arose to leave the car he fell in a faint. and had to he assisted to his office In the library build- ing. Dr. G. W. N. Curtis of 119 East Capitol street was im: ately summoned. He made a superficial examination of the gen- eral and said he appeared to be suffering from an acute attack of Indigestion. Res- teratives were administered and resulted in a great improvement in the patient’s con- dition, so much so that he was believed to be out of immediate danger. About noon he was suffictently recovered to be removed in a carriage to Kis resideace on K street. He seemed to be resting quietly, and his son felt so much encouraged that he re- turned to the library building and report- ed that his father was bett Shortly after 2 o'clock a decjded change for the werse occurred in Gen. Casey’s con- dition. He was seized with another an more violet attack than that of the morn- ing, and was unable to throw it off, not- withstanding the application of the most powerful remedies known to medicine and science. Gen. ’s son and Mr. Bernard Green, his assistent at the library, were promptly summoned to Gen. Casey's bed- siae, but so rapid was his decline that he breathed is last a few minutes before their arrival. Dr. Haegar, an army sur- geon, had been called in at the first indi- cations of a relapse, but his efforts were ineffectual to stay the hand of death. The physicians attribute his death to paralysis of the heart, superinduced by an acute attack of indigestion. He suffered trem heart trouble. Official Announcement. The death of Gen. Casey was announced to the army today by Major General Miles in the form of a notice, prepared by the Sec- retary of War, as follows: WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, D. C., March 25, 1896. The death of Brigadier General Thomas Lincoln Casey, U. S. army, at his residence in this’ city, at 2 p.m. today, is announced to the army. His retirement from active service as chief of engineers was announced in general orders, No. 31, from headquarters of the army, May 10, While engaged today in the Congressional Library building in tie work of its construc- tion, to which he had been specially as- igned by act of Congress, he was attacked by sudden illness, was immediately removed to his residence, and died soon after reach- ing there. His absolute honesty, thorough devotion to public duty, and rugged force of char- acter won for General Casey the supreme confidence of tre country, and contributed in a marked degree to the high reputation of the corps of which he was long a distin- member. Ss a mark of respect to his memory, the corps of engineers will wear the usual badge of mourning for the period of thirty days. DANIEL S. LAMON i: Secretary of War. Mackenzie Say What Co Col. Mackenzie, who is actiag chief of en- gineers in the temporary absence of Gen. Craighill, said that no action would be taken in the case of Gen. Casey until Gen. Craighill returns to the city. He is now at Newport, R. I, engaged in the inspection of engineering works. Inasmuch as Gen. Casey's remains are to be removed to Ne port for interment, it is likely that Gen. Craighill will remain there to attend the tuneral. ; “Gon. Casey was a great man,” said Col. Mackenzie, “‘and he had a host of slacere friends. He had a brusque way about him, but behind it all he had a good heari, as those who became intimate with him had frequent cause to know. Although ¥ knew his health had not been good for sev- eral months past, we were totally unpre- pered for the news of his death. There are y monuments to his memory in Wash- Librarian Spofford’s Tribute. Librarisn Spofferd said, in speaking of Gen. Casey in connection with the Con gressional Library building, that his ser ices were of incaiculable value. ‘“Compre- hensive in his plans, bold and yet cau- tious in their execution, economical with- out being parsimonious he was,” said Mr. Spofford, “exceptionally well fitted for the work.” The Funeral Service. Gen. Casey will be buried in the private cemetery on the old family homestead, Wickford, R.L, just across Narragansett bay from Newport. Brief funeral services will be held at his late residence in this city, 1419 K street, tomorrow morning at 8:30 o'clock. They will be conducted by Rev. Dr. Elliott, rector of the Church of the Ascension. At thelr conclusion the remains will be placed on the 10 o'clock train of the Pennsylvania road for transportation to their permanent resting place at Wickford, R. I. The final religious services will take place at the grave at noon Saturday. Mr. E. Pearce Casey, one of the general's sens, has gone to the Rhode Island home- stead to arrange for the burial services. Capt. T. L. Casey, jr., another son, is in charge of the arrangements in this city. He is in the corps of engineers of the arm and is stationed at Norfolk. He was noi! fied of the death of his father by telegraph yesterday afternoon and came to this city at once. There will be no military demonstration SPECIAL NOTICES.

Thomas Lincoln Casey was a member of a military family of distinction. He was practically a child of the army. He was born at Madison barracks, Sackett’s Har- bor, N. ¥., May 10, 1831, while his father, Gen. Silas Casey, was stationed at that post. His father died in January, 15s: bearing the rank of a retired colonel and brevet major general. In 1848 Thomas Lin- coin Casey was appointed as cadet-at-lary at West Point, by President Polk. In 1s he graduated at the head of his class, among his classmates being Maj. Gen. Slo- Gen, Crook, Gen. A. Mcb. McCook, E. V. Kautz, Gen. D. S. Stanley and 's who haye since become noted in the service. Upon graduation Cadet Casey was appointed brevet second lieutenant of engineers, and after a brief service at West Point was placed in charge of the construction of Fort Delaware and the river and harbor improvements in that vicinity. In 1854 he was detailed at the Military Academy and remained there for five years as assistant professor of engin- eering. His promotion to be a second lieu- tenant came to him in 1854, and two years later he was mace a first Heutenant. Until 1861 he was engaged on the Pacific coast, and during the civil war he was stationed at Fort Monroe, on the staff of Gen. butler, then being placed in charge of the perma- nent defenses on the coast of Maine. He was a member of the first expedition to; Fort Fisher, in December, 1864, and in the early part of 1§65 he was a member of the special board of engineers for work at Wil- let's Point, N. Y. His promotions came rapidly, and in March, 1867, he came to Washington as brevet colonel, and assumed duty in this city for the first time. He was then associated with the chief of engineers in_connection with the construction of for- tifications, and remained on that duty until February, 1877, when he was detailed in charge of the public buildings and grounds, the Washington aqueduct and the construc- tion of the State, War and Navy Depart- ment building. The Department Building. This was the beginning of that wonderful reputation for efficiency and accuracy that made Gen. Casey one of the most trusted cfficers of the army.-He developed a re- markable talent for accurate supervision of large enterprises, but most of all a positive genivs for rellably estimating the probable cost of public works of great magnitude. So marked was this trait that in after years members of Congress having to -do with appropriations regarded his estimates as absolutely trustworthy, and paid him the most distinguished compliment of ap- propriating «ll the money for which he asked.

PARDEB, M.D., 125th at. and 7th ave., New York city. was regarded as absolutely reliable, a always fulfilled his pr. casts in this regard. The work that he did in connection with the completion of the great department building west of the White House first attracted the attention ef Congress and the exceutive authorities to his remarkable talent for accuracy. ‘The work had been begun in 1871, and in the six years of its progress up to the time he | took charge, the south wing had been com- pleted, and the east wing had been finished up to the roof, this being about one-fourth nd he ctions and fore- of the w . It had cost at that time $¥,- 046,226. Gen. Casey built the north, west and centei wings, and completed the roof of the east win; d finished the ap- proaches for $3,182,256, or about two mil- Hons less than the other fourth of the building bad cost, and turned over the structure to the government for complete occupancy on the Ist of March, 1888. Completed the Washington Monument The Washington monument had for twen- ty years keen a blot on the landscape of Washington. It stocd on the marshy banks of the river a squat tower, with the deso- late appearance of being unfinished and abandoned, and in 1876 Congr being actuated largely, it is thought, hy the wave of patriotism that swept over the country in that year, inspired by the centennial ex- position, provided for t resumption, un- der strictly national auspices, of the work which had been begun in 1818, under semi- personal jurisdiction. In 1878 President Hayes and the joint commission of Con- gress, in charge of the completion of tie monument, directed Col. Casey to assume charge of the project of completing the shaft. A thorough survey of the work which had been dene convinced him that the foundation originally provided was en- urely inadequate for the gigantic mass that was conterplated by the design. Conse- quently his first project was to strengthen. the base, which he did by practically re- moving it frora the standing shaft and re- placing It with a foundation of concre‘e [masonry. The weakness of the old foua- dation lay in the t that it was too shal- Jow, and covered an insufficlent area. The new base cqvered two and one-half times ag much area and extended thirteen an-1 one-half feet deeper than the old one. The work of excavating beneath the monument Was commenced January 28, 1879, and the new foundation was finished May 28, 1880. The summer of iSs0 was mosily consumed in preparing the holsting apparatus, and the greater part of four seasons was oc- cupied in finishing the shaft. The capstone was set December 6. 1854, and the monu- ment was dedicated February 22, 1885, So thoroughly was this work done, and so well were the plans carried out, that even though.the monument was practically undermined at all poiute, it did not settle beyond the limit i and has since preserved an absolute stal lity. It is now regarded by the engineers of the world as one of the most remarkable pieces of werk ever accomp ed, standing as one of the engineering marvels of this cen- tury. Became Chief of Engineers. These two accomplishments, the comple- tion of the departments building and of the morument, fixed Gen;+Casey's fame with Congress for all time: t% come, and. | when he became brigadie} general and chief of engineers July 6, 1888, shortly af- ter the completion of the departments building, and thereby assumed charge of the river and harbor imprcvements throughout the country, the ednfidence that was felt in him was annually expressed by the treatment of his estiimates for the river and harbor bill, which were invar‘ab'y followed by the fullest eppigayiations that assur n the condition of the treasiiry’ would per- mit. ‘ Throughout General Casey's career as an engineer on duty In this city he evidenc. the greatest interest in the patnee malian Fertaining to this section, end while in charge of the public buildings and grounds he practically reorganized the entire sys- tem of parks and reservations, beautifying many of the places of rest and recreation in the various sections. He caused the re- clamation of the White Lot, as it was for- merly called, now known ‘as the Ellipse south of the President's house, which, until it attracted his attention and enterprise, was eight feet below the present surface, marshy and unwholesome. He always took a great interest in the question of provid- ing a sufficient water supply for the city and District, and in August, 1879, he rec- ommended the installation of an additional four-fcot”mair. io supply Capitol Hill. His recommendation was,at first disregarded, and the Lydccker tunnel project was substi- tuted for it.

The fishermen of the District and others interested in the clearness of the river water will always remember General Casey for his invention of a method of accurately Gétermining the relative clearness of the stream. ‘These figures are daily reported in The Star, and are of great benefit to those who frequent the upper river. In June, 3878, Col. Casey made a report to the chief of engineers recommending the erection of a dyke along the ern edge cf the Potomac flats to improve the sanitary condition of the city. This was the beginning of the great river improv. ment project that has since been consum- mated. After the patent office fire, in 1877, President Hayes made Gercral Casey a member of the board to examine all of the public buildings of the city to deter- mine the extent of their security against fire, and he was also associated with the work of reconstructing the patent office. The New Library Building. In October, 1888, Congress placed him in charge of the construction of the new Congressional Library building, and later, in anticipation of his retirement from the active service of the army, a special pro- vision was enacted which continued him in that duty until its completion, or, as the results proved, until his death. His es- mates fer the cost of this building prom- se to be slightly larger t the actual expense, end it was less than a fortnight ago that General Casey assured a reporter for ‘The Star that the building would be ready for cccupaney on the very day that he promised at the beginning, February 28, S07, In 18% General Casey was made a mem- ber of the Rock Creek Park commission, and in 1S he was placed on the commi sion on suburban highways in the Distric!

General Casey has written many articles of great value and interest on engineering subjects, and his reports are in constant use by engineers and other authorities as works cf reference. General Casey leaves a widow and two sons, Capt. T. sey of the army, now stationed at Norfolk, and Mr. E. Pierce Casey, an architect of New York, who has been associated with his father in the con- struction of the library building. —S Hotel Arrivals. Willard’s.—W. W. Otis, J. O. Otis and E. W. ence, R.
