mated in Brooklyn, N. r. Though 1t is fire.
twenty-five years DID,. and probably not that
old. 1t indicates a sure thing or at least
thing that is thought to be dead sure There
are several explanations of its origin but
we are satisfied that Brooklyn was its home
1t was coined in this way Some years ago
a fellow entered plumbing shop and stole
piece of lead pipe. He wanted to take it
over to New York, and to keep it from being
seen he wrapped the pipe around his body
and then put his clothes on over 1t. A cinch
in turf language, means a girth or saddle
band. or anything that is used to keep
saddle horse or, mule tight. .Cinching
up means, therefore tightening up, and is
% Spanish origin. AS the fellow with the
lead pipe around his body jumped to catch
the ferry-boat he fell overheard and of
course the weight Of the lead carried him
down A horseman, in explaining the oc-
currence said the thief had a F1ead-pipe
cinch." and he had. and it drowned him

MYSTERIES OF Az Old ENGLISH NV.
From The Cardiff Evening Express.

From The Cardiff Evening Express.
During the work of charging the Royal Bull
Hotel hartford. a hosiery dating back to the
days Of Wat Tyler. some interesting discoveries
have been made In l1i3 murder was com
mitted al the house and the body disappeared
n.ystcriously. \ skeleton now dug up three feet
below the flooring Of old cellar leads To the
belief that it is the remains Of the victim of the
tragedy. This week secret staircase has been
brought 10 light. and this communicates. by
invisible doors in the walls Of the cellar, with
the room in which the tragedy occurred. ii
STRENGTHENS the belief that the body was taken
down the staircase and buried. The remains are
much dcCayed excepting the teeth and these are
in fairly good state Of preservation.
4 day or two ago a number of death warrants
bearing the signature of Portland Minister Of
George III. were found in the panels Of the walls
within which the murder was committed. How
documents Of this character got into 50 stranS" a
hiding place is A matter for conjecture. one,
dated June. l1!S. is good sample of how war
rants we're prepared in those days 1t reads:
"Whcrcas James O'COIgley having been attaint-
cd Of nigh treason. and had sentence passed
upon him to be drawn upon hurdle to the
place Of execution and to be there hanged by
the neck but not until he is dead but that, be
ing alive he shall b" taken down and his bowels
taken out and burnt before his face. that his
head b. severed from his body and his body di-
Vided into four parts. and that his head and body
shall be- disposed Of a. think fit, and whereas
We think fit remit that part of the sentence
directing the burning Of his bowels and dividing
the body into four parts. our will and pleasure is
that ne shall bc drawn and hanged and have his
head severed from his body"

from further work. He belonged To a friendly
society. but for six months OF the year was only
entitled to draw from it two shillings week. As
il was impossible for the aged pair to live on TINS

cation was refused. because in the opinion oil the
guardians though "A dwarf. deformed and the VIC
tim of a painful internal malady, she was not yet

herself to field work as long she could manage

out OF this miserable pittancc she religiousy set
aside the payments that she had begun in more
