q signal to b ait and then proceeded to
pinion the convict's arms, whispering
something in his ear. Carley offered
not the slightest resistance, and when
the painful operation was ever he stood
erect and firm. Just before his .srms
were caughf in the strap be stretched
forth his right hand and shook hands
with Governor Gildes, saving, Good
by, and thank you" He looked mil1.
ly st all present and his eyes seemed d to
yearn and fill with tears as he took a
last lingering look ct the priests. Tne
recitation of thc litany was then lt-
sumed, Curley repeating the responses
with intense feryency. At the foot of
the scaff5ld he took last glance
at those present to witness his execu-
ton snd then aScended the steps OF the
scatfolt lightly. Indeed, he almost ran
up. Then Marwcoi came quickly to
mis- side and strapped bis legs. He
then adjusted his head, and. lifting it
slightly, placed it within the nocse, at
the same time pulling the wEite cap
over his face as the clock was striking
eight. Marwood then moved quickly
to the side Of the scsffcld. There was
a touch OF the lever and sharp swish
as the body descended through the
trap, and DAME. Carley was dead. The
length of the drop was nine feet and
death was instantaneous. There was
no quiver, no motion. DR.. Carte at
once raised the cap and looked st the
'ace. Curley evidently died without
pain, for the features were quite placid
The body was cut down at nlne o'clock,
tut the inquest was not held till ten.
The usually verdict ofdeath by hanging
was returned.

HIS SPEECH IN THE DOCK.

DUBLIN, May % Again the black
flag proclaimed to thousands gathered
around Kilmainham Jail that another
member of the Invincible Society had
paid his debt to justice. Daniel Curley,
the commander, leader and speech
maker of the Organization, perished by
the hands of the common hangman at
one minute past eight O'Clock this
morning, on the some scaffold On which
the principal member of the gang was
hanged on Monday. and on which three
more at least must meet the same dis
NAL fate. The morning broke with all
the splendor of a summer day, remind
lingo ne forcibly of the advent of that
memorable 9TH of May when Dublin
awoke to find that the most appalling
crime Of modern times had been com.
mitted within Its precincts. As early as
six O'Clock groups of men and lads.
principally artisans, began to take up
positions from which a view could be
commanded of the dismal signal.
A CROWD OF WOMEN.
The crowd outside was not half so
Large as at Brady's execution, but there
Inc NEtho'i It1
Guards were very much ridicuIed. The
strength and number of the police were
not so great as before. Th. dick f4g
went up at half minute to eight
O'Clock. A wall rose from the people
and the Hail Msry's" were repeated
With great rapidity. Nearly ] uncover
ed their heads and many women burst
into tears. The saddest scene was wit
messed behind a small confectioner's
shop by the Inchlcore road, where Cur
ley's father and fsther-in law, both old
| men, were walking up and down bare
headed. As the flag ran up to the staff
they threw themselves on their knees.
After praying for some time With fer
vency they began ''keening" Their
| piercing cries attracted the attention
of the crowd, which rushed from
all points 10 ascertain the cause
of the noise. The impression
spread that some one had fall n
over the bridge which st this point
spans the river. The poor old men
after the execution. Curley died firm
| ly. From an eyewitness the Telegram
correspondent gained the following
particulars. The convict retired 10
rest attSelve O'Clock and rose this morn
| ing locking calm and refreshed. AT a
quarter to seven Canon Kennedy and
the Rev. Mr. Findlater arrived and
took hina to the chapel, where he par
took of the last sacramento. An hour
was spent here. Mr. Kennedy then
told Cuiley to arise, and he at once
obeyed.
TEE LAST PROCESSION.
| The procession then Eformed In
| the same manner as st the execution
of Brady. On their way through
the corridor Marwood joined the
party, putting up his haEd &c
his head as 3 salute. Tne priest;
took their places behind Curley
and the htany of the dying va,
recited, Curley repeating the responses
in an audible, firm voice. He wore 8
crucifx about his neck. About ter

WASHINGTON, May 22.--The Pest
Will publish tomorrow letter from
Secretary Chandler to ex-Congressman
Dszendorf, Of Virgins. in reply to 3
communication received from the
Latter calling his attention to the levy
ing of assessments for political pur-
poses on employees of tho Norfolk navy
yard. The secretary after al.
swe,ing the charges containing
the alleged violation Of law, says:
The tone OF your letter, which you
have made public, indicates that you
take a very strong interest III the
reformation CT the navy yard at Nor
folk. Your long familiarity with the
yard as y constant candidate FIR con
gress since 1873, seeking the special
support from the voters there EN-
ployed, will undoubtedly enable you
TO make many more valuable
suggestions for the suppression of
abuses therein, which will gladly be
received and considered. That you
should now for the first time invite the
attention of the department and public
to such abuses ter you have ceased
to expect any personal benefit from
the management of the yard, is most
commendable performance of public
duty by private citizen.
Very respectfully,
VIM E. CHANDLER,
Secretary OF Navy.

THE WORN AND ITS NERDS.

SARATOGA, May g The ease Of Rev.
DR.. BrauNs, Of the Buffalo Pteshy
tsrian church was indefinitely post
poned. The appeal of DR.. w. C. Nc
Lean from SJubenville Presbyterian
church suspeuding him from the min.
istry for heresy was laid aside for
time. Rev. DIR. Geo. ID. Baker read
the annual report of the board Of the
home missions great tislA word be-
yond the Mississippi. Among the ln-
dians, Mormons, Spanish speaking
people and along the North
ern and Southern Pacific railroad
aud Alaska, are 1887 missionaries now
supported by the board, and 1873 teach
ers by women's auxiliary societies. The
report recommended the general as
sembly to ask from the pastors and ses-
siOns of the churches to raise 5000 600,
for the imperative wants Of the board
for the coming wear. The receipts last
year were 1904 600.
Rev. DR.. III Kendall, secretary of the
home mission, followed with lengthy
address describing the field of labor
and work accump plisned. and what now
confronts the board. Tne report was
adopted after being amended by strik-
ing out the recommendation that Pres
ident Arthur and secretary of the in-
terror be asked to establ sh a civil gov
ernmeat in Alaska AMI to grant aid to
the schools established there by tho
board. The report of the committee

THE FIRST VICTIM.
Joe Brady Hanged at Dublin
for the Phoenix Park
Murders.
The Condemned Man Firm and Tn
daunted to the Last
Opinions of New York Asitators as to
Modes of Retaliation.

DUBLIN, May 17.-Joe Brady was
hanged at eight O'Clock this morning.
A vast conc0urse gathered outside the
prison ard in which Brady Was hanged.
A strong force of cavalry, infantry and
police were present to preserve order.
There was no attempt at distul bance,
however.
The morning opened beautifully, bnt
there were showers st about the time
the execution took place. Brady rose
at 6 O'Clock. At 6.35, Canton Ken-
nedy, of St. James Church, aad Father
o Reilly, administered the saclameEt
10 the condemned man, The three re-
mained praying until the arrival of the
hangmar. Brady submitted quietly
while his arms were being pinloned,
and walked slowly and unfincaingly to
the scafold.
TIE black flag, indicating that the
execution had taken place, was hoisted
over the prison at three minutes past s
O'Clock. Almost im mediatety after the
black flag was raised q hearse and
caches with mourners were seen at a
distance, coming in the direction of the
direction of the prison. The police,
however, interfered and prevented the
vehicles from approaching. There had
been reports circulated that after the
hanging of Brady his friends would en-
Geavor to excite the people to DEM
onstration by parading an empty hearse
through the city.
Brady was visited by his mother last
evening. She was heard to exclalm:
mind, Joe, no statement"
Brady smiled and replied: "Don't be
foolish: do you think | am foo?' 1t
is stated that the mother threatened to
ment any information.
A wreath of flowers was received by
Brady, to which was attached q card
bearing an expression of grief at his
fate from the Isishmen living IN Liver
pool.
Brady made no statement to the Jail
chaplain or to the governor of the
prison. One of the last things he did
was to write a letter to his mother. He
carried prayer book in his hand to
the scaff0ld, and was thoroughly re-
signed and firm. His body fell nine
feet and his death was instantaneous.
LIZ was lS5SSd LII GdlllC GlOLlG5 IS
wore during his trial.
The number of persons in the crowd
outside the Jail, it is estimated, reached
a hLndred thousand. The thrCpg is
said to bsve been even greater thaa any
of those which collected when the exc
cutions were public.
At the moment the black flag was
seen over the Jail the Cry was raised of
Hats Uff!" and every head was uncov,
cred. The crowd shortly af'erward dis
persed quietly.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was
that Brady's death was caused by
rupture of the spinal cord.
A juryman stated that the features
of the dead man were slightly swollen
and his eyes protruded. His tongue
was half cut in two between mis- teeth.

HOW TACKS ARE MADE.
IngeniOusly C0ntrived Machines
That Bite OFF Thousands Minute.

Mechanical Engineer.
The iron is received from the rolling
mills in sheets from three inches to
nine feet in length, the thickness vary
ing, according to the kind of work into
which it is to be made, from one. eighth
to one -thirty-seGond OF an inch. These
sheets are all cut IN about thirty-inch
pieces, and by imm ersion i'll acid clean
ed of the hard outside fiinty scale. They
are then chopped into strips of . width
corresponding TO the length of the nail
or tack required. Supposing the tack
to be cut ID an eight-ounce carpet tack,
the strip of iron, as chopped ard ready
for the machine, would be about elev-
en- sixt eenths of an inch wide and thir-
~ inches long. This piece is p aced
firmly in the feeding apparatus, and by
this arrangement carried between the
knives of the machine.
At each revolution of the balance
wheel the knives cut off small piece
from the end of this plate. The piece
cut eff is pointed at one end, and square
for forming the head at the other. 1t
is then carried between two dies by
the action of the knives, and these dies,
coming together, from the body of the
tack under the head. Enough of the
iron projects beyond the face of the
dies to form the head, and while held
firmly by them lever strikes this pro
jectlng piece into round head. This,
rs we have said before, is all done dur
lug one revolution of the wheel, and
81, l. . H1 -, " "A
from the machine, are ready to cut off
another piece.
These machines are run at the rate
of about 250 revolutions per minute.
The shoe nail machines, for cutting
headless shoe-naiis, are run at about
500 revolutions per minute, and cut
from three to five nails at each revolu-
ton.
