the appropriation for the railway post
odice car service was also non-concurred
In.

creasing from $251,725 to $291,000 the ap

facilities ou trunk lines.
The foreign mall service amendment
having been reached, Mr. Uiount, of
Georgia, moved nou-occurrence in it.
MR. BURROWS’ AMENDMENT.
Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, moved con
currence in the amendment with the fol
lowing amendment thereto: “Provided
that not exceeding $40,000 of the amount
herein appropriated shall be expended in
payment of existing American steamship
lines tor transportation of foreign mails

and that so much of the balance as may
be required shall be expended
in Increasing the frequency of
the postal service of such

of postal service by Auicricau built aud
registered steamships between the United
States and sucii ports of loreign countries
herein named, not now connected with
the United States by American steamship
lines as the Postmaster General may se
lect, including Buenos Ayres and Monte
video.
PORTS ON TUB GULP.
Air. Dougherty, of Florida, offered an
An,i ament providing that $200,000 shall
be expended tor tne establishment of a
until line from Gulf ports to ports in Cen
tra! and South America.
Z. Taylor, of Tennessee, offered an
amend meet providing that $100,090 shall
be applied to the transportation of foreign
mails by existing lines running from New
Orleans to Central and South American
ports.
HKWITT PROPOSES $400,000.
Mr. Hewitt, of New York, moved to
strike out the appropriation for SBOO,OOO
and insert one of $400,000, and to add to
the Seuate amendment the following;
"And the Postmaster General shall, as far
as possible, cause the mails of the
United States to be carried to and
from said places respectively in Ameri
can built and registered steamships, pro
vided the same can be carried for reason
able 'Compensation, to be by him deter
mined, but not exceeding the rate of 50c.
per nautical mile for the distance usually
traveled in the most direct aud feasible
course between the terminal points here
inbefore specified.
MR. FINDLAY FAVORS SBOO,OOO.
Mr. Findlay, of Maryland, favored the
Senate amendment, which was simply a
proposition to pay adequate compensa
tion lor services rendered, and he could
not see tnat there was any ground for the
cry of subsidy which was raised by gen
tlemen who rubbed t heir bands in glee
and thanked God that ihev were not “sub
sidisis.” The compulsory law having
heeniepealed and steamship companies
baying refused to carry the mails
lor the compensation ottered by the Post
master General, that officer was placed
in a strait. Mails were collecting on the
wharves atSau Francisco, and the Pacific
mail steamer refused to take them, and
the Postmaster General was forced to
telegraph his agent at San Francisco U>
buy a passenger ticket and take tbe mail
as baggage. The malls, he contended,
should be carried with some regard ot de
cency and propriety. The compulsory
law was repealed, and he defied the House
to re-enact ft.
A CURIOUS SPECTACLE.
Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, called
ittenti'.n to the curious spectacle pre
sented by the Senate amendment, wbioh
Involved an expenditure of $4,000,000, but
which had not one word of executive sug
gestion or approval to commend it. There
as not on estimate tor the appropria
tion. it, emanated from the Senate—a
body which had been contending for years
svainst putting any general legislation on
appropriation bills. In voting upon this
amendment, he wanted every member to
range himseli on tbe side where be expect
'd to stay to tne end. [Applause on the
Democratic eide.] Last year a Senate
amendment, similar to the pending
proposition, had been put through in the
House by reason ot absenteeism, but he
invoked every man to so record himself on
this proposition now that bo would not
find It necessary to absent himself here
after.
MR. BLOUNT'S LAST WORDS.
Air. Blount, in closing the debate, said
that last winter, under tbe threat of an
' vtra session, the House bad oonourred
ir a Senate amendment appropriating
$490,000 for foreign mail service. The
D'ni'icratic administration came into
power and put the ban of its condemna
tion upon the proposition. The policy of
tbe administration on this subject could
not be mistaken, and when the Uni-
Jed Stales Senate, in violation oi
rule, in violation of the
principle that goneriil legislation
rt oiild not be placed upon appropriation
'■ills sought to torco this proposition upon
'be administration, there was an nu
' a,, ity and ig,id ness exhibited that needed
1 ' bo met with courage- The issue was
1 i*in and clear out, aud for one be was
as u Democrat to take the re
sponsibility for bis action.
Mr. Burrows’ amendment wus rejected
by voie of Sto 142, and Mr. nswitt’s
w us refected bv a vote ot 82 to 130.
! tii amendments offered ny Mr. Taylor,
fl ' lennessce. and Dougherty, of Florida,
were rejected without division.
Ice Senate amendment was non-con
'’dried j,j witbnut division, ami the com
hii'li o rose aud reported its action to the
House.

RIVALS JOIN FORCES.
Secret of the Overwhelming Defeat
or the SBOO,OOO Clause.
Washington, May 20— Messrs. Morri
son and Kandall joined forces to beat tbe
Senate SBOO,OOO subsidy in tbe House.
After the motion to nonconcur in it had
been carried by a vote nr 178 to 80,
only six Democrats—namely, Messrs.
Adams of New York, Findlay of
Maryland, Anderson of Ohio, and Blan
chard, St. Marlin, and Gay ol Louis
iana voting against it—Mr. Morrison said
to McAdoo. one of Mr. Randall’s lieu
tenants: “Now, Mr. McAdoo, you see
that if Mr. Kandall and tbe rest of you
fellows would only come hack into the
party we could beat tbe world every
time.” Mr. McAdoo bad no reply ready,
apt as he usually is. The defeat of the
subsidy men was a total rout. Tbe lob
byists for the Pacific Mail, the Brazilian
Steamship Company and tbe Red
D. Line sat together in the member’s gal
lery. They followed the proceedings with
tbe closest attention. When Mr. Casson.
of Illinois, one of the subsidy Republi
cans, said be had seen no lobbyists here
in tbe interests of the steamship compa
nies they laughed aloud, but they grew
very glum as the voting went on.
They were beaten at every point. An
amendment proposed by “Jack” Adams,
of New York, in tbe interest of tbe Bra
zilian steamship line, excepting the Pa.
cifie Mail from the benefits sf tbe subsidy,
got only one vote, bis own. Finally
came the roil call on the motion
to non-concur with its overwhelming
two-tbirds majority against, them. They
went down from the capitol a sorry-look
l'ig lot. Tney have nothing to hope for
trom the conference committee. The con
ferees on the part of the House will be
this time men who can be depended upon.
They will probably be Chairman Blount
ot Georgia, Dockery of Missouri (Demo
crats), and Guenther of Wisconsin (Re
publican ). They will never yield to tbe
subsidy crowd.
CONSUL PHELAN'S REPORT.
The report of Consul General Pbelan
on tbe seizure of the D. J. Adams at
Digbv, N. S., was laid before tbe Cabinet
to-day. It aimplv gives the facts sub
stantially as published in tbe newspapers.
The State Department has authorized
Consul General Pbelan to retain counsel
to defend the Adams in the admiralty
proceedings. Meanwhile the State De
partment has asked Great Britain for the
release of the vessels. Negotiations will
be begun for an agreement between
Great Britain and tbe United States
which will prevent a recurrence of such
troubles.

NAVAL APPROPRIATIONS.
The House Commit tec’n Rill to Kec
oiniiiond About $11,7f>0,000.
Washington, May 20.— Tbe House
Committee on Naval Affairs to-day prac
tically completed the naval appropriation
bill, and it will probably be reported to
the House to-morrow. The bill appropri
ates about $11,750,009 (tbe exact totals
are not yet obtainable, ns tbe Chairman
waa authorized to insert a few small
items), while the estimates submitted by
the Navy Department contemplated an
expenditure of $30,836,857. The ap
propriation for tin- current fiscal
year is $15,029,705. The atrik
mg discrepancy apparent between the
appropriation lor next year and the estl
matesot tbe department is explained hy
tbe lact that all Ot the items included In
the estimates for new construction, ag
gregating $14,816,368, are omitted from
the appropriation bill, as they form the
substance ot the sneciul hill for the new
naval establishment already reported by
tbe committee.
Grooving Two Bills.
Washington. May 20.—The House
Committee on Commerce to-day instructed
Cnatriuan Reagan to report the enacting
clause of the Cutlom in’er-State com
merco bill with tbe provision# ol the Rea
gan bill as uu amendment In plaoe of tbe
provisions of the Cullom bill. This was
done for th* purpose of bringing both bills
formally before the House.
Flections Not Favored.
Washington, Mav 90.—The House
Committee on Judiciary to-day decided to
report adversely on the various amend
ments to tbe constitution, proposing tbat
Senators, I'ostmsstere and Judges shall

SAVANNAH. FRIDAY, MAY 21. 1886.
TWO TRAILS OF PARSON'S.
REVIVAL OF THE STORY THAT
HE WAS IN FLORIDA.
Cuba Declared the Objective Point of
Hie Flight—A Registered Letter lent
from the Coal Regioun of Ffunjrlf
nla to Mr*. Parson* Lend a to the Belief
that lie is in that Section.
Pittsburg, Pa., May 20.—A registered
letter was sent from Coal Valley last
Friday to Mrs. Lucy Parsons, Chicago,
wife of the noted anarchist. It was
thought before that he was hiding with
friend 6in the Monongahela valley. Fol
lowing the clue given by toe letter, a de
teotive has been for several days looking
for him in tbe Coal Valley. His efforts
have been unavailing, except he is now
convinced that Parsons is not far from
there. The detective has been working
up tbe case and has almost positive proof
that Parsons is either in the valley or at
Monongabela City, and is keeping close
guard at these places.
18 HE KN ROUTE TO CUBA?
Chicago, May 20.— The Daily News is
in receiptor information which it deems
positive respecting tbe whereabouts of
the fugitive anarchist. Parsons. Tbe
Sheriff at Tallahassee, Fla., .telegraphed
last Tuesday that Parsons and a compan
ion had gone through Tallahassee and
were bound for either Cedar Keys or
Tampa, ar,d were supposed to be heading
for Cuba, as steamers leave both
ports mentioned for Havana. A return
telegram was sent for a description of
Parsons, and the description telegraphed
back tallied precisely with that of Par
sons. The anarchist was recognized at
a station called Baldwin, but was not ap
prehended. If Parsons sailed Wednesday
trom Cedar Keys it is thought ho can be
apprehended.
TRIAL OF THE PRINTERS.
The centre of attraction around the
Criminal Court building this morn
ing was a number of printers
who were employed on the Arbeiler
Zeitung previous to the bomb throwing.
They were called to testify to who wrote
and setup the revenge circular which in
cited the riot.
It ie highly probable that officer Mc-
Nulty, one of the policemen shot in the
Huymarket riot, will die. This morning
the bospital authorities reported that he
was delirious, and that the prospects of
saving his life were few. Officer McNulty
was shot iu the leg.
THE BOMB MANUFACTURER.
Louis Lingg, the young man who is sup
posed to have manufactured the dynamite
bomb used In tbe Hay market, is 'still un
der the closest custody. Capt. Scbenck,
who arrested him, said to-day that Lingg
bad confessed to him that he was a born
anarchist and be came to this country
from Zurich, Switzerland, with tbe inten
tion of spreading anarchistic doctrines.
He came here last August and immedi
ately associated himself with the lead
ers of the anarchist party. “Lingg
is a well educated young
man,” said Captain Scbenck. “He
is only 22 years of age, but he is learned
beyond bis age. 1 have a large number
of letters written to him by people in
Europe. They are evidently the work of
men of ability. From their tenor 1 am
satisfied that Lingg was one of the most
trusted agents ol the anarchists in this
country. One peculiar feature about
Lingg is his intense devotion to tbe
cause of anarchism. He has told me that
be was ready to die lor tbe cause, in
fact, he says, he would be only too glad to
be sacrificed (or the sake of the principles
he advocates.”
A HITCH IN THE JURY.
It is learned that there is a feeling
among the grand jurors that the police are
withholding their most important evi
dence in the anarchist cases and giving
wbat testimony they think the jury ought
to have. With this the jurors are not
satisfied. The police on tbe other hand
fear to reveal their best evidence at this
time. They are not prepared to trust the
Jurors with tbe information which they
desire to keep from the attorneys for the
prisoners. There is a prospect of an un
comfortable hitch on this point,
ss;*s,ooo FOR SAVANNAH.
Senator Brown Offers Amendments
to tbe House Bill.
Washington, May 20.— The Senate
Committee on Commerce will continue its
daily meetings, having permission to sit

called up tbe bill providing that for a
period of five years no mackerel other
than tbat known as Npsman mackerel,

he imported or landed in the United
States. Mr. Breckinridge made a bri-f
explanation of the bill, and Mr. newltt,
of New York, stated bis intention ot
speaking against it. Therefore, in order

sideration of the bill was postponed until

Union and indorsing Mr. Parnell and bis
efforts in behalf of Ireland.
GRAND ARMY PRIVILEGES.
The resolution relative to privileges for
the Grand Army of the Republic on Me
morial day had not passed the oommittee’
and was therefore not reported by that
committee to tbe convention for action.
In reference to that subject Mousignor
Deane introdneed a resolution which was
adopted, declaring “that while the conven
tion desires to see every possible recogni
tion of the brave men who died for their
country at tbe same time it does not
presume to offer any advice with re
gard to the matter to the venerable
blerarcny of the church. Tbev wish to
act on no such unaathotlc principles. To
tne Archbishops and Bishops belong to
teaching church, we to be taught, aiul far
be it from us to presume to p iiut out to
our apiminted guides the course of action
for them to follow In this or any other
matter.”

EIGHT HOUR FAILURES.
The Packers Notify tho Mon That
tho New Rule Won’t Work.
Chicago, May os.—P. D. Armour aald
last evening: “We will give our men no
tice soon, before the end of the month,
that we deeire to return to tbe old ten-hour
system or shut up. There will be no
strike, nor is it a lock out. It is not a bluff
but a simple business declaration. We
cannot run unless at the old hours and
prices and do not intend to make any fuss
about it. The packers have come to this
agreement.”
When this statement was made to Vice
President McElligott, of the Trades As
sembly, he simply remarked: “That’s just
what I feared.” Mr. McElligott is one of
the committee which organized tbe pack
ers, and waited on the employers to ob
tain their answer on the proposition in tbe
first place. “I have been to three dele
gate meetings at tbe stock yards this
week,” he continued, “and 1 will be
only fair to tbe men when I say
they have been expeoting this movement
all along. .The hotheaded ooes wanted to
strike for their demand, but wise counsel
prevailed, and after three nights discus
sion the men have decided toofferto work
eight hours for eight hours pay rather
than go back to tbe old system. I fear
that the packers will not accept even
those terms. It makes me fearful for the
eight-hour movement with 25,000 packers
put back, tbe lumber shovers whipped
and tbe moulders discomfited. It looks
blue to me. 1 would not be surprised to
see a general backward movement.”
PREVENTING INTIMIDATION.
A Judge Overrules a Point Raised
by Furniture Worker* of Chicago.
Chicago. May 20.—Judge Garnett ren
dered a decision in an eagerly watqhed
case to-day continuing tbe injunction
secured against Furniture Makers’ Union

niture firm ol Bruscbke A Rloke. Tbe in
junction whs secured to restrain tbe de
fendants from molesting and Intimi
dating workmen at Bruscbke A
Ricke’s factory or from congregating
around It. Tbe motion to diaeolre tbe In
junction was based on a claim that the
court bad no lurisdlctlon to Interfere
with a esse which did not call for police
interference, and that if the acts of the
defendants were gross enough to be crim
inal it was the duty of tbe police to arrest
them. Judre Garnett declined to share
that view, Rnd cited a number of English
and American authorities to snow that a
Court of Chancery bad a rigot to Inter
fere to protect the property of citizens
and their rights.
Marhine Men Htrike.
St. Louis, May 20.—The machine men In
eighteen pinning mills in this city have

Raises a Laugh During the Discussion
by a Plea that Farmers Want to Drlvo
Birds Away.
London, May 20.—Gen. Sir Frederick
Poneonby, tbe Queen's private secretary,

Chamberlain by his curt refusal to enter

stone through Baron Heraebell, Lord
High Chancellor, has closed the door to
any chance of reconciliation between
himself and Mr. Gladstone.
THE DUNDALK GAS BILL.
The House of Commons this evening
after a heated debate rejected by a vote of
210 to 169 tbe Dundalk gas bill. As elabor
ated by the committee, which consisted
of four English members, the bill in
creased the powers of the private gas
company, whereas tbe municipal authori
ties wish to take the task of lighting the
town Into their own bands in order to be
as economical as possible. In the course
of tbe debate Mr. Sexton said that the
Irish nrivate business ought to be sus
pended until the home rule question bad
been settled, and that at any rate the hill
under consideration ought to be dralt
with by a committee of Irishmen instead
of Englishmen.
Lord John Manners. Conservative, said
that the debate showed the temper with
which business would bo conducted iu
t.be Irish Parliament.
Mr. Dillon retorted that the Irish Par
liament would at least be composed of
members who knew where Dundalk is sit
uated.
THE BILL’S SUPPORTERS.
The bill was supported by tbe Conser
vatives, and by Leonavd H. Courtney, Lib
erul, while Messrs. Gladstone, Childers
and StansfeUl ol the Ministry, and all the
Parnellites opposed the measure. The
announcement ol the result was received
with loud cheer* by tbe Irish members.
John Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
moved for a second leading of the arms
act. He expluinpd that the act was In
tended to restrict the possessing, carry
ing aud Importing of arms. Nobody in
the proclaimed district could carry arms
without a license. Although cases ot
outrage bad greatly diminished in num
ber eince 1881, it was necessary to pro
long the act ot that year in view of the
present excited state of party feeling in
tbe north of Ireland. No act could prevent,
the commission of deliberately planned
murder. The true use of the act was to
prevent the growth of the practice of car
rying arms on occasions of lairs, markets,
processions and other gatherings. In
conclusion, he asked all lovers of order to
support the measure.
PARNELL COMPLAINS.
Sir. Parnell complained that the powers
of the act had been injuriously used In
two directions—first, to harrass and annoy
the Nationalists, and second to deprive
farmers ,(pf guns intended for scaring
birds away from tbe growing crojis. [Con
servative laughter.] He urged that the
act be applied Impartially in disarming
Oraqgamen as well us Nationalists.
|Cbeers.] Tjie Orangemen had shown by
the acts and by the utterances of their
leaders that they were disposed to
slaughter, or to attempt to slaughter,
those who differed from them in political
opiniop, [lrish cheers.] Ife would not sav
that Lord Salisbury, Lord Randolph
Churchill, and Mr. Chamberlain really
intended to promote murder, but their
words would certainly have no other
effect.
Mr. Bradlaugb condemned Lord
Churchill’s speeches in Ulster as danger
ous and treasonable.
CHURCHILL REPUDIATES THE INSINUA
TION.
Lord Randolph Churchill repudiated the
insinuation that he had incited tbe people
of Ulster to murder. Ho hsd merely
pointed out that the placing of the Ulster
ites in the power of a Dublin Parliament
must result In civil war. Ho quoted
speeches of Md. Gladstone and Sir Henry
James in an effort to prove that tho noo
ple were justified in refusin gto submit to
a transfer of authority trom an efficient to
an inefficient government.
Tbe arms act finally passed its aeoond
reading by a vote ol 803 to so.
The government "whips” report that
220 Liberals are pledged to vote lor the
home rule bill with 86 Parneilitea, and
that the number of supporters is increas
ing dally. Tboy now count upon carry
ing the bill by a majority of 15.
CAMPAIGN PLANS.
The Conservative National Union is
preparing for an organized election cam
paign. Tbo uuion has planned to divide
Encland into nine dlatricis with a sula
nel bead and sub-agents for each district,
Hint will support Liberal Unionists where
the Conservatives have no chance of elec
tion. The Liberal Unionist Committee
has sent agents to tbe provinces to op
erate against the local Liberal caucuses
that favor Mr. Gladstone. The agent* are
empowered to promise the Liberal Union
ist candidates funds with which to carry
on the election oontest. In consequence
of tbe action of the Central Liberal Asso
ciation in inciting local callouses to
threaten Liberal malcontent*, a meeting
was hold in tbe committee room of the
Housed Commons to-day. Mr. Cham tier
lain presided. Tbirtv-four members were
present. It was decided to treat threats
as a personal insult lequirlng the inter
vention of Parliament and public expos
ure. The proposal that Air. Chamberlain
and hla followers should join the Unionist
committee was negatived on tbe ground
that there was still a prospect of recon
ciliation with tbe government, and that
it would be too Impolitic for the Radical
dissenters to assume an attitude of Ir
reconcilable hostility to Mr. Gladstone.

NINE YEARS AND TEN MONTHS
HIS SENTENCE.
Judge Barrett Pictures In Luminous
Oratory the Hopelessness of Faith In
Universal Corruption—The Kx-Aldr
msn's Contempt for T hose of His For
tner Colleagues who Brfused to be
Brlbfd Brought Back to His Memory.
New York, May 20.—The Court of Oyer
and Terminer was Ailed this morning
with a large crowd of spectators, anxious
to hear Judge Barrett pronounce sen
tence upon Alderman Jaehne. Alderman
Jaehne waa In attendance, guarded by a
Deputy Sheriff. His lace was pule and
his eyes hsd a weary look. He was asked
what he had to say why judgment should
not be pronounced against him
according to law. He made no re
ply, but kept his eyes fixed
upon the rail in frout of him. Judge Bar
rett then sentenced the prisoner to nine
years and ten months in State prison,
ils said the prisoner bad been convicted
after a fair trial, that he had bad every ad
vantage that a defendant could have and
able counsel.
ABLY DEFENDED.
He had the services of two of the most
eminent members of the bar—one •
veteran of the criminal bar, noted for bis
power and force, and another gentleman
of equal power and force, whoso services
were ever at the command of tho poor,
unfortunate and oppressed In this and
other lands. Tbe case was a sad one.
It was a humiliating spectacle that
a man who was selected to public offioe
in this oity should have so heinously be.
t rated his trust as the prisoner had. It
was humiliating to the people of the city,
State and country tbat such a spectacle
should he presented iu a free government
as a person betraying his trust as the
prisoner had. It was sad to see a man
with the prisoner’s advantages in the po
silion in which he now was.
THE MADDEST SPECTACLE.
“I oould not be unmoved at tbe specta
cle of your weeping wife and broken,
hearied mother, but the saddest thing of
all about your case is tbe doubt which,
pervaded many good and honest minds of
your conviction. There was not a doubt
in your guilt, it was universally conceded
when the evidence was in tbat the case
against you was oiear, convincing
and overwhelming. There was no doubt
of your guilt, but tflere was doubt con
cerning tne chances ol convicting you.
You havo only hail lailh In the supremacy
of evil aud in the impossibility of work
ing out good results, and you have fath
ered and sustained the very crime of
which you have been found guilty. The
faith that you and those like you have en
deavored to trample iu the mud ot cor
ruption rises triumphant over you, wbila
you have fallen, a disgraced and dishon
ored man. •
FAITH IN EVIL UNAVAILING.
“Faith in evil will not give way to that
better and higher faith that the good mu*t
triumph in tbe end. Have you forgotten
.the conviction of Tweed, whose power
was greater than ever yours was? Hava
you forgotten the conviction ofOenetf
Have you forgotten the convlo’ion
of Sergeant Crowley and of Fish
and Ward, or areonlv the miscarriages of
justice to be remembered? A lesson is
there. The people are not as you and
those like you have thought, bonev*
combed through with corruption. There
is hope of butter things and tbe people
will, in the future, have more faith.
SNEERING AT REFORMERS.
“You and such as you not only doubt,
the efficacy of the law and believe solely
m corruption to prevent aud obstruct the
law, but you sneer at every honest effort
to bring about a better slate of things.
Two notoriously honest men of your board
were sneered a', as dudes. Tbeir refusal
to d-i as you did was ‘cb,.-ap buncombe,’
in addition to that, you must instruct your
counsel to say that it was personal
ambition and personal angrandizement,
that our worm y Sheriff refused an offer
oi a bribe b cause be wanted to lie Sher
iff, and that tbe Hon. Mr. O’Conor re
fused it because be wanted to be Gover
nor. Every rspirant for better things,
yon said, was an aspiration for personal,
uggramiizerucut and persons! advantage.
There Is nothing so contemptible to you
as a man who seeks to reform abuses.
TIIE LEMMON OF THE DAY.
“The lesson ol theday is that the vipers
who hold such sentiments had better bide
their beads so that honest men may
breathe more Ireely and tbat they may
know that the majority of the people bold
their honor above price. If ever there
was acase when something like tne maxi
mum punishment of tbe law should be
inflicted it is truly here. There was not
only technical bribery but it was substan
tial bribery, an enormous sum of money,
paid to a man for tbe purpose of influent-.
Ing him with respect to a stupendous
transaction. It waa no trivial matter.
It waa one of tbe most extreme cases oi
bribery. It is one of those cases for which
the law provides the maximum punish
ment,”
The application for a stay of execution
ot iudgment in tbe Alderman Jaehne
bribery oase waa argtud net ore Judge
Daniels in the Supreme Court this after
noon. Gen. Pryor argued for a stay anil
Assixtant District Attorney Nicol op
posed it for tbe people. The decision of
Judge Daniels wa* rendered at 6:35 deny
ing the motion for a stay. Alderman
Jaehne will be taken to blng Bing in the
morning.
