MEN VINO ARE IN PRIsoS.-Among the
political prisoners in the. Albany peniten-
tlaTy, sentenced under the infamous kuklux
law, Is man by the name Of Moore. and
this Is his history, as he Gayo it in brief, from
his SICK bed, to tho editor of the Utica Bee !:
" Before the war was Il wclI-to-tlo planter
i'll Alabama. | owned many slaves, which
constituted my wealth. The events of the
war reduced me nearly to poverty, at its
close gathered together the fragments Of
my ruined estate, hired few of nv former
slaves, and commenced life anew. All went
well with me until month or six weeks ago,
when was suspected Of being kukluN,
arrested by United States marshal, given q
fasty trial, found guilty, sentenced, and two
weeks ago was brought from Washington to
this prison. Ny term is ten years."
The editor of the Bee adds: "Thc man
vowed upon his honor, and rs he prayed that
it might be his deatlI-bed. that he was as III
nocent OF the crime charged against him as l
WAS myself. He knew noihiIl. whatever of
the kuklllX. askcd him if lie had u family.
The mention Of family seemed to Iaralyze
him with grief. He S0bbed bitterly, and be
tween the tears heard him moan 'Oh {! my
poor little boy--my poor Wife, Thastened
away, but, under the prctence of filling his
Kid with water, in Il half-hour I returned.
He was still lying on his narrow bunk, and,
claspns a Bible in his hands, seemed deeply
interested in one of tue plaintiye Psalms of
David"
There may be, and no doubt are, here and
there in the South outlaws, us there arc in the
North and the West, who deserve the prison !;
but every form, feature, and act done under
authority of the infamous kuklX acr dr.
serves the scorn and condemnation OF every
true freeman of the land.

The -Boonyifle fIndfana) Emile contains the
following account Of the expioits.of crazy
man who escaped, entirely nude, from az,
attic room to the roof OF the building. s.

were soon on The building. No sooner did
the maniac discover l!is p,rsuers thar he m,

lonto the east portion of Koor,tz,s bloch
Which ii; two stories high. and passing m.
tpidly to the main building, which, corners on
Fifth and Spring streets, and is three stories
IN height, he first. endeayOred to climb to the
roof Of the same by way Of the water-srp,lt,
but evidently fearing to trust his weight, he
abandoned this metle Of ascension and PAUSED
for moment and took a survey OF the build
ing; then, In less time than it takes to pen il.
he jumped upon window-bIind and ran ND
II with as much ease as a squirrel can climb
tree, and actually scaled the wall at the top
OF the window. How any human being
could have made the ascent seems almostla
miracle. But crazy William accomplished
1T, and the exploit was witnessed by many
from the street below.
"The citizens now made rush for the
interior of the main building, and were soon
on the roof having passed through the
scuttle. As soon Us the maniac discovered
LHeIu upon TIC rOOf ne ran Tor the chimney,
which extended upward from the roof six
feet, attached to which was Lightning rod
extending twelve feet above the chimney.
He ran up the lightning rod in an instant,
and was nearly ut the top when the rod bent
under his weight, and he was suspended in
the air over the side of the building, hanging
by the top of the rod. The sight was fear
full. If he let loose his hold he would be
dashed to pieces. The streets were filled
with people, who looked upon the unfortu-
nate. man as doomed to terrible death.
But one avenue was open whereby to
save him. Captain Henry Jefferson hastily
procured rope and rushed to a second-story
window near where the victim was hanging.
and by repeated efforts succeeded in throw
ing it around his body, notwithstanding his
fighting to keep it of, and hauled him to the
window and thus rescued him. A shout
went up from the crowd below rs the maniac
was drawn in at the window. The wife of
the unfortunate man and other relatives wit
messed the terrible sight from the street
below in painful anguish. After he was
rescued it took several powerful men to han
die him and put on his clothing. He was,
however, safely secured, and now occupies a
cell in our county Jail, awaiting the as
seGiblins of our County Court for an order
TO send him to the lunatic asylum at Fulton

a NOVEL METHOD OF COMMUNICATING STEAM
PoWER.-[From the Buffalo. Courier, 11th.l
Last Saturday we witnessed the first appic..-
| ton in Buffalo of a novel method Of conf
municating steam power, which has been
successfully introduced quite extensively
elsewhere. The patentee Of the invention is
MIR. Richmond, of Lockport, well known rs
manufacturer of mill machinery. We can
in no better way explain Mr.. Richmond's
system than by describing its operation as
we saw it,. .l...... ...,. *
On the south side of Green street, n short
distance from Washington street, Is the
| establishment OIL. NJ. Lymburner & Torrey.
The machinery in this mandatory is driven
10y a SiXty-horse power engine. McSsrS
Lymburncr 81 Torrey had an abundance of
steam-power, but in an establishment of Mr..
John Harris, manufacturer of lounges and
| other fine woodwork, power was in pressing
need. Nir. Iarris's building, 4 three-stoiy
brick, is on the north side of Green street,
and distant from that Of Lymburner d Tor
rcy's about 500 feet. Without power Mr..
Harris could not fulfil the requirements Of
his b,lsinssa, and he was about putting i'll q
new engine when his attention was directed
to Richnond's patent. He became satisfied
that it was exactly suited TO his wants, aud
having arranged with the establishment
named for the supply ofpowcr he contracted
for the apparatus.
On the roof of the building from which
the power is obtained are situated two strong
frames, each supporting groovcd iron
pulley four feet i'll diameter, and also there
arc similar frames and pulleys on the build
ing to which the power is communicated.
There is siX-foot pulley on tho main shaft
;,,f lao, r If E,,.f
lug, and Il pulley in the other building on
the shaftinS by which the machinery is run.
The communication is I wire rope three
| ciglths of an inch in diameter. This rope
starts from the pulley ut the main shalt,
Tsn T 1 To lc I IS9 ss Che "dshee
Separating the buildings, rlSses over one of
the pllllcyS on the second building, dcsccnds
| through the roof, passes around the SHAFT
| pulley, then, rcaScending, returns over the
second pullcys to its starting point-tlie
pulley on the main shaft near the engine.
Thus IN endless belt is formed.
| When the engine was set In motion the
| wire worked Us smoothly as would an ordl-
nary belt, and the machinery i'll Dir. Harris'S
establishment was put i'll motion with all the
power desired. There are several other
establishments in the vicinity, boot and shoe
| manufactures, etc, which miSht derive tlclI
mower from the same source and in the s.lnc
way, and we understand that some of them
are already DESTROYS of cllrctins such al ar
rangemcnt.
Mr.. Richmond's mode Of communication
1 il 10 he used in connection with General
Towards machinery for cleansing The Ham
! burgh canal. In Lockport number OF
establishments, the furtherest distant mile
from the starting point, receive their power
in the manner we have described from one
water-whecl. Insurance, fuel, engineer
wages. ETC., are among the important items
economical by this system, and the wire
rope is claimed to be very durable.
