JaelIne's Release.

free man. He served six years, four months and
81 days of his sentence Of nine years aud 10
months hard at labor. Jaehnc kept jewelry
store on Broome street. New York City, 10years
ago, when he acquired some distinction among
politicians of his own district. He became a fol-
lower Of Mike Norton, and through him
leader in the County Democracy. Jaehne was
popular with the young men of his party, and
easily secured the nomination for Alderman III
1883. He was elected in 1853, 1884 and 1885,
During the last years of his career Jaehne at
tractcd no special attantion. In 1854 he came

he seem to be working for the interest of Jake
Sharp that his prominence became dangerous.
Newspapers printed columns of hints that
Jaehne had accepted bribery. The franchise
was granted over the Mayors veto ut secret
session of the Board of Aldermen, and on
Jaehne's motion.
The storm of Indignation which swept
through the city then is well remembered. In
1885 an investigating committee WAS appointed
by the Senate. Among the witnesses was N rs
Schuyler Hamilton, who testified that silver
ware stolen from her house had been traced to
Jaehnes jewelry store, aud that he had paid
her $1,000 to settle the matter. Two days
later Inspector Byrnes announced that he had
secured a confession from Jaelne that the AL
derman and his brother municipal lawmakers
had been bribed. After sensational trial
Jaehnc was sentenced to Sing Sing.

The First Volunteers.

This society, made up from the Grand Army
of the Republic, was evolved during the En-.
campment in Washington in September last.
The Society of Minute Men and First Defend
ers were made up of District and State Militia
who were first on the ground in Washington in
response to the Presidents call in April, 1861
The Union Veterans Union is society of
volunteers who were among the first to answer
the call, and who served two years or more in
the field. Next comes the Society of the First
Volunteers. This means more than at first
appears upon its face. 1t includes only the one
who first enlisted in the County from which he
entered the service after April Is. 1861, and
who can furnish proof to that effect. This So
cety must necessarily be small and the great
est care must be exercised in securing evidence
in order that the honor may be conferred upon
the lawful claimant In making application
for membership it will be remembered that
militia service does not count. No one need
apply unless he has reasonable belief that he
can prove his claim. There are no fees or dues
exacted. Claimants who do not receive an
answer to application within 30 days from re-
ceipt thereof may consider that the proof is in
sufficient in their cases. Claims for member.

Barnum.
Whereas since the last Annual meeting OF
our Association death has removed from any
further deliberations with Us that brave and
gallant soldier, that true and good citizen. and
that courteous and cbivalric gentleman, Maj
Gen. Henry A. Barnum: Therefore. he it
Res0Ired, That since his membership in this
Association, June /, 1880, Gen. Barnum has
always been one of our most earnest, willing,
and effective workers.
That although at sacrifice to himself,
when others less interested than he would re-
main away. he was almost always present, and
at all our regular and special meetings his
chair was rarely vacant.
That his soldierly service, sacrifice and
suffering for his country, which never ended
until his death. seemed to excite in him a
special interest for the work of the Associa-
tion, aud we hereby most cheerfully acknowl.
edge the great assistance and aid rendered by
him in the work we have so nearly completed.
That his military knowledge and marked
sympathy for the purpose intended by the
creation of our Association. made him not only
a useful and valued member bat that his
pleasant genial, and courteous manner made
him most companionable co worker and an
afectionate and loved friend.

ancc company. The car itself is direct evol u.
tion of the old.fashoned army jackass pack
saddle mounted on wheels and springs, the
only rerceptible difference being that in the
case of the car, instead of walking underneath
the packsaddIe, the jackass pays shilling te
ride on top. I got my first experience of the
capabilities of the lively jaunting car by rising
from my seat to take wrinkle out of my coat
tail while the car was in motion. When sat
down again the seat was not there, but the Bel.
gisn block pavement was. and got my little ex-
perience the moment l struck it, and there was
ono jackass less in Ireland, because from that
time forward | had sense enough not to worry
about the comfort of my coattail until the car
stopped on which l was riding; and thus by
attending strictly to business l acquired quite
an appetite for riding on the jaunting car,
which is most jovial, free aud easy vehicle
with no condemned nonsense about it.
Later that morning we saw Il funeral with a
half mile of jaunting cars in procession, and
the corpse riding on the top of the leading one,
in great peace aud comfort.
