Four of the Murderers in Sing Sing
Prison ElectrOcuted
Tuesday.
One After Another the Victims We're
Fastened in the Fatal
Chair.
Death in Each Case Was Instant
and Painless-History of the
Crimes.

ond time in history convicted felon has
met his doom for crimes against the
peace of government, by means of the
electrocution route. As was intimated
in these dispatches yesterday, the judi
cial removal from earth of the sinful
quartette-Slocum, Smiler, Wood and
Jugiro-was successfully accomplished
at dawn this morning in the grim death
chamber in the penitentiary building.
Slocum was the first man to be strapped
in the fatal chair and at 4:421s received
the fatal bolt from the prison dynamo.
Smiler followed at 5:14; Wood met his
doom at 5:39, and the Japanese, Jugiro
was launched into the great beyond at
6:06. Everything about the machinery
moved smoothly and instant and
painless death was the result of touching
the button in each case.
The crimes for which the four were
executed are as follows: Harris A. Smi-
Ter was at one time a Salvation Army
captain. He was printer by trade, and
has developed rare faculty for getting
married. At the time the crime was
committed there we're three women liv-
ing to whom he had been married, and
none of them had been divorced. The
last one to go through the ceremony
with him, Maggie Drainey, was his
victim. He, had been living with her at
284 7th avenue, but on account of his
brutality, she had determined to leave
him. He came home partly drunk on
the night of April 3, 1889, and when she
refused to promise to remain with him,
he shot her.
James A. Slocum lived in Cherry
street, has been a base ball player and a
common laboror. He had long been a
wife beater. On the night of December
81, 1889, he came home and took an ak
which had been used by his wife to break
up boards for fuel and beat the woman's
brains out with it.
Joseph Wood was one of the negroes
employed in building the new aqueduct.
One pay day in May, 1889, he got into
one of the fights common among the
gangs of laborers employed there. His
opponent was an Italian ,ICarlo Ruff, ,ial.
so an aqueduct'laborer. Ruff was killed.
The fourth is Shibuya Jugire, native
of Japan. He was living in one of the
~o.1o,o5 L..
ing the pleasure of the boarding house
boss in the matter of putting him on
board of a ship on which he had already
signed articles to return to Japan. He
got into dispute with a countryman,
Mura Canni, about berth in the fore
castle of the ship, procured carving
knife and stabbed Canni to death in the
course of the fight that followed.

One Of the Small Helps.

No doubt there are may who do not
make carpets, but who would be glad to
do so, only that they lack the time to
prepare the rags for the weaver. To
such, I would say, there is quicker
and easier way of preparing them, that
answers fully as well as sewing, for
cottons and thin wool goods, saves all
the thread, and, what is of far greater
Importance, half the time and labor.
Take one end of each Of the Two rags
to be Joined, place the end of the one
in the right hand on the end of the one
in tie left hand, tapping them about
one inch; fold the Tapped portion in the
middle, crosswise Of the rags, and give
a little snip of the scissors in the CEN
tire, making, when the rags are unfolded,
a buttonhold shaped cut little over
half an inch in length. Take the other
end of the rag in the right hand, and,
still keeping the other ends Tapped, pass
it upward through the buttonhole cut
and drew it through. Yon will find
that it make close, even join, neither
bulky nor ragged. and little practice
enables one to join them rapidly in this
way.
