TO HANG HIMSELF.
Connecticut Courts Decide 1t to Be En-
tirely'Legal.


With the hanging OF "Jack' Cronin on
August "a, will be inaugurated n new mode
/ of execution In Connecticut. The old gal
lows which has been carted about to do duty
| since the hanging OF Anderson, the Wallng-
| ford murderer. has been used for the last
| time. In its stead will be an improved
automatic hanging machine, which com
| pletely revolutonizes the style of execution
| by the old method the condemned man was
dropped through mn opening In the scaifold,
the drop being released at the proper time.
by the new machine the murderer il ierked
high In air and then drops and Is suspended.
There are thus two chances to break the
neck, while by the old way there was only
one chance. aad often this failed, and death
was by strangulation.
1t is belived by the tests made that forty
seconds will be ample time. As the cord
tlghtens and Is pulled downward by the
plunger IL slowly opens the compound lever,
which ut n certain angle. perfectly adjusted
pulls a bolt, and the great dead weight IL re-
leased. This will weigh twice as much MS
Cronin, or BOG pounds
As the big weight falls down the grooved
track to the ground under the building the
hempen rope running over pulleys on n cross
beam will quickly jerk the condemned man
seven feet into the air. On the drop there
will be Il rebound, and the man will be sus-
pended with his feet about two feet from the
noor.
That there may be no more bungllng work
or delay Warden Woodbridge has arranged
for n shutting of Of the mechanism. or he can
hurry 1t along by pressing his foot on a but
ton in the floorhe can close the cylinder con-
tanning the shot, while by pressing another
button he can pull out the sliding valve, re-
leasing all the shot and dropping the dead
weight instantly. As soon as he has signal
from man adjusting the moose he will cause
the weight to drop.
The mechanism will be enclosed by par
tition along the entire side, so that nothing
can be seen by the condemned man except
the moose. The machine works noselessly,
and the weight falls upon soft dirt. The
warden has drilled his deputies In the
part that each may take until there Is almost
perfect work.

ENORMOUS ORE SHIPMENTS.

Men in Their Employ.

More than 100 men are now working at
the mines of the Plttsburg Company's Metro
politan Land and Iron Company. where the
SIX weeks strike ended last week. As q re-
suit the shipments OF ore from the Gogebic
range have grown largely and will be enor-
nous for several weeks.
Shipments from the Gogebic have been On

are contracted for vessel room for the remain

Lake Superior ports have teen largo ard the
estimated total output OF this like for the
season to August is 3. 000 tons, or u trle
over half OF the shipments for tho entire
season OF 1853. Speculation Is already

OF next season and 1t is put at very high
llgure
This year, the second In which the range
made shipments. 1t will exceed by 10000 tons
at least any OF the older ranges OF the United
States with an output not far from LOO, 900

With the new mines being opened and made
ready for business and with the contracts ROW
