TO SING SING AT LAST.
NINE YEARS AND TEN MONTHS JUST
LY PRONOUNCED ON JAEHNE.
Briber Jaehne's Counsel Make strenuous
Exertions to Secure Arrest of Judg-
ment and IA New Trial, but Fail
Taken to Prison To-day.

NEW YORK, May 20.-The court of Oyer
and Termner was filled this morning with
a large crowd of spectators anxious to
hear Judge Barrett pronounce sentence
upon Alderman Henry w. Jaehne, who
was convicted of bribery in connection
with the Broadway railroad franchise.
Jaehne was in attendance guarded by a
deputy sheriff. His face was pale and his
eyes had Il weary look. After the Judge
1ad taken his seat District Attorney Mar
zine moved for sentence to be passed on the
prisoner. Gen. Pryor of Jaehne's counsel,
made motion for an arrest of judgment
upon the following grounds First, that
the indictment was insufficient Ill sub
stance second, that the count in the in
.iictment upon which the verdict was re
turned is insufficient to sustain the yer
dict, and third, that because in law there
can be no Judgment upon the Indictment
and verdict Counsel moved for new
trial upon two grounds: FIRST, mlsdlrec-
ton of the jury in matters of law, ana be.
cause the verdict was contrary to law and
against the evidence The motions were
both denied by Judge Barrett. Counsel
then took an exception to the denial OF
each motion.
Jaehne then stood up for sentence, and
IN reply to the usual questions Ol tue
clerk, gave his age as 80 years and his res
idence as No. 43 Nandam street. lie SAID
also thai he had learned the Jewelry trade.
He was asked what he had to say why
Judgment should not be pronounced
against him according to law. He made
no reply but kept his eyes fixed upon the
rail in front of him. Judge Barrett then
sentenced the prisoner to nine years ana
ten months in state prison. lie SAD the
prisoner had been convicted after talr
trial that he had had every advantage
that IL defendant could have and able
counsel He had the services of two OF
the most eminent members OF the bar,
one veteran of the criminal bar, noted
for his power and force, and another gen
tleman of equal power and force, whose
services were ever at the comm ana OF the
poor, unfortunate and oppressed IN this
and in other lands. The case was Il sad
one. 1t was humiliating spectacle that
Il man who was selected to public office III
this city should have so heinously Detrdy
ed his trust as the prisoner bad
Jaehne Goes to Sing Sing.
The application for staying the eNecu
ton OF Judgment in the Jaehne bribery
case, was argued before Judge Daniels il
the Supreme Court this afternoon. The
motion for the stay was denied ant
Jaehne will be taken to Sing Sing i'll the
morning.

BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Explosion OF One Hundred Kegs of
Powder.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 2G.-The details
of terrific explosion of 100 kegs OF pow
der at Seddy coal mines near Chattanooga,
yesterday, have been received tonight.
One Of the locomotives of the company
was going from the railroad station to the
mines with the powder, in charge of VIM
Lloyd and David Harper. The locomotive
was running at a rapid rate when a key of
powder was overturned and the contents
scattered in the car. The next moment n
spark from the engine ignited the powder
and an explosion followed. Three seconds
after the spark fell every keg of powder
had exploded and three mangled bodies
lay fifty feet away down the embankment.
The locomotive and two fiat cars were torn
to atoms and some portions OF them
hurled for hundreds Of yards. When
the explosion occurred a man named
Ike Ramsey was standing near the track
waiting for the train to pass. He was
also thrown down the embaukment, and
when found all were dying. They pre-
scented Il most sickening spectacle. Theil
bodies were blackened, and the flesh GOV
cred with dirt and blood, hung in shred'
from their bodies. All the men died be
fore midnight last night.

with my management Of the land Office

seen him for some time, as he has been
BUSY about other things, but know he
IS pleased with the way the Office is be-

slons have been oyerruled as rapidly as
mace them is manufactured out of
Whole cloth. The secretary of the in
serlor has never oyerruled decision
made by me, although he has some
tlfheS suggested changes. Complaints
against me and the management of the

interested in land frauds and Jobs. The
complaints III the west emanate from
EDITORS who are interested and from
lawyers who have to get along some
now. We have a great many from
