ANDRE PRISON HOUSE.



In the little village of Tappan. near
the border line between New York and
New Jersey, about twenty-one miles
from New York, is the historic prison
house in which Major John Andre, of
the British army, was confined in Sep
tcmDer, 1850, and from which lie was
led to execution on Oct. 9, 1880, says
the New York Tribune. The house is
practically the same now rs 1t was l23
years ago, although a storm in March,
1897, destroyed part of the structure
and leyeled side wall, which has been
rebuilt, however.
The house has long been an object
of interest to tourists, and ii has lately
attracted some attention because of the
resurrection of the theme of Andres
death by Clyde Fitch, the playwright,
who has laid the scenes Of his last act
in the play "AIajor Andre" now run.

brated house.
The building is OF stone, and 1t has
been known for nearly century as
the "'7G house" Presumably II was
built in that year. 1t was n tavern
when Andre was confined there, and
1t Is n tavern still. For many wears
prior to its partial destruction, in 1897
It bad been unoceupied, and 1t was
