After two trials he was convicted and
sentenced to be hanged in the court
yard of the prison on February 21,
1862. On the day before the execution
he attempted suicide by poison, but
was resuscitated. AT the last moment
he broke down utterly, and 1t was only
by the administration of stimulants
that he was enabled to walk, supported,
to the scaffold, where he was hanged,
At one time three men were hanged
in the Tombs at the same time and at
another, four. Suicide has also been
frequent among men condemned to
death; but of recent years, owing to
the isolation of such prisoners and the
strict watch kept on them, few at
tempts at self-destruction had been
successful.

with the Grimes of New York.
The most famous prison in the Uni
ted States Is the Tombs, of New York,
which is now being demolished to make
room for more commodious structure.
The building, which was constructed of
gray granite, was erected between 1893
and 1928, being completed in the latter
year. 1t has housed during its less
than three score years of existence half
million prisoners; some famous or
Infamous in the history OF crime, other
unfortunates who We're glad to be con-
fined there during the winter months,
regaining their freedom In the spring.
Before the passage of the law fixing
electrocution as the official means of
ending forfeited lives in the State,
there were many executions in the
Tombs. All told, there We're sixty
hangings Among the inmates of the
Tombs who suffered the extreme pen
atty of the law within its walls was
Capt. Nathaniel Gordon. the slave
trader. Gordon sailed from Havana
in the summer of 1860 in the ship Eric,
bound for the west coast of Africa, and
was captured on his return voyage
with nearly 900 negroes packed in the
hold, by the United States cruiser
Monongahela, in which he and his
mates were brought prisoners to New
York, and after a short detention in
the Eldridge street Jail, were transfer
red for safekeeping until trial to the
Tombs

Not Worth a Rush."

When calling anything mot worth
straw" one means to imply that it is
worthless. The older saying was, mot
worth q rush." and this brings out the
origin of the phrase. In the days be-
fore carpets it was the custom to strew
the floor with rushes. When guests Of
rank were entertained fresh rushes
We're spread for them; but folk of lower
degree had to be content with rushes
that had already been used, while still
humber persons had none, as not even
being worth rush."

The drive wheel (A) is eight feet in
diameter and rests on ball bearings.
Its rim is metal trough six inches
wide and four inches deep, with metal
strips Indicated by dotted lines a, Il,

brackets every four inches. On this
same axle are two more wheels (B and
E). B Is an eighteen-inch cog wheel
which, by cog chain, is conected with
a five-inch wheel Co on the upper axle.
On the same axle with G and propelled
by 1t is the chain wheel O), which is
just the same as is seen on all chain
pumps for the purpose of drawing the
rubber buckets or sucks.
The pumpstock (c) Is just an ordinary
two-inch tube, which reaches to the top
Of the drive wheel, and empties the
water into Its bucketed rim. The
weight of the water in the rim turns
the drive wheel, and so puts the ma
chine in motion, and as it reaches the
bottom empties into trough placed
for that purpose. This trough (E) is
sectioned, four-fifths being on one side
of the division and one-fifth on the
other. The water caught in the small

into n chain of buckets which hang on
