McQuade~ Sentenced to- Seven Years.
New YORK, Dec. 20.-Ex-Alderman
McQuade was this morning sentenced
to seven years Imprisonment, and to
pay q fine of $4,000.
The Recorder said in substance
Arthur j. McQuade, you have been
fairly and justly convicted OF bribery.
You were elected to perform a public
duty and a public trust instead OF
doing so you violated that trust, your
character as a buiness man, citizen,
father, and husband. l have sympa-
thy for your wife and family. You
should have considered them before
| you did wrong. You did not add to
the crime OF which you have been o II
victed, as Jaehne, by taking the stand
and committing perjury. Ihave reason
to believe you received as much money
as Duffy did-$10,000. That money is
not yours. 1t is not the property OF
your family. If it is left with them it
will work them the inevitable result OF
| ill-gotten gain. | would advise you to
| give up and pay back to the city the
money which you received, and | have
no doubt it would work to your bene-
fit. The sentence OF the Court is that
you be confined in the States prison
at hard labor for the term of seven
years, and that you pay a fine OF
s., 1000.
During his sentence McQuade stood
up, his arms folded across his bosom,
in the habitual to him. The
sentence was given and the audience
dispersed, McQuade going out with his
keepers and a faithful brother, who
had stood by his side throughout the
trial. Counsel for McQuade obtained
a copy of the sentence and then left
taken to the Tombs, and after the usual
formalities was locked in a cell.
Death of n Oldest woman.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 20.-Letters from
Lassourne, Seminole Nation, Indian
Territory, gives an account Of the
death there ON the 9Th instant of Su-
sauna Warren, perhaps the oldest
person in the United States, if not in
the world. She was born in the old
town Of st. Augustine, Fla, in 1850,
fifteen years before the Americans
conceived the idea of a national indie
pendence. She was born as a slave,
and was the property of Spanish mas
ters until 1918, when she was with
other Spanish slaves that fed from
the town OF Pensacola when it was
taken by General Jackson. She lived
in the country from then until the
second treaty of peace with the Semi
noles, when she was regarded as their
common property, and was removed
with them to the Indian Territory.
She leaves one daughter living, who
resides in Austin, Texas, and is in her
9th year. She leaves many grand
children, some of them nearly 20 years
of age.
