Among the unions represented which

smiths and Bridgemen's Union and the

Some Of the pon-alliance delegates de-

OUT OF LUDLOW STREET JAIL.
The Thirty Federal Prisoners Turned Over
TO Warden Flynn OF the Tombs.

The Ludlow street "chail was ovid" yes
terday, but the thirty prisoners who went
away only had brief glimpses Of the out
side world as they stepped into two prison
vans which conveyed them to the Toznbs,
where all prisoners accused OF crimes
against the United States will be sent in
future.
With the new order OF things the old
structure will lose much Of it's interest, as
in the future Warden Thomas Sullivan's
boarders will be only civil prisoners.
The old Jail was put up in 1893 and around
it are entwined many political associations.
1t WAS built by Tweed, who died there

name, which Ia still on the wall.

agement and they ran affairs as they pleased.
Two OF the most noted prisoners oon-
fined there since Tweed were James D.
Fish and Ferdinand Ward, the bankers who
involved Gen. Grant in financial ruin. They
occupied a suite OF rooms furnished luxu-
rously, their meals were prepared by
special caterers and wine suppers and card
games helped to enliven their stay.
In the old regime prisoners were taken
out at night to theatres and other places Of
amusement and returned home when they
pleased.
other well known men imprisoned there
were Jacob Sharp OF Doodle Alderman
fame and the late Whitaker Wright, the
London promoter. In addition, hundreds

To Sheriff Tamsen belongs the credit Of
bringing about great reform in the insti-
tuition. If he hadn't appointed as keepers
German barber, tailor and plumber, the
famous cry Of der chail Is ovid might
not have spread around the city and caused
the investigation that established a now
order of things in the Jail. The famous
escape Of Allen, Killoran and Russell on
July 4. 1895. is still remembered. Then,
again, two years later with new set Of
keepers the .chail was ovid" again, and
this time four men got away.
