TO THE 'PENITENTIARY , Where Pivo Persona wore Eon- tencod Yesterday , An Unusual Scouo in Judge Sftvogo's Cojft , Three Years the Hoavient Sonteno * Given * Yesterday waa quite anotnblodayin Judge Savage's court. Five erring mortals received their sentences tc penitentiary imprisonment. The par ty consisted of Ilorrick , recently convicted - victod of arson , B. P. Hanson nliiw Wm. Orny , who pleaded guilty to ob taining money under false protonHcs ; John Edwards and Oco. Griflin , whc wore convicted of grand larceny in breaking into a jewelry store , and lastly 11. H. N. Kclley , who had pleaded guilty to embezzlement. The prisoners wore ranged in the jury box by Sheriff Guy and the countyjailor. The first one to bo called up for sen tence was Horrick. Imprisonment ap parently had not worn heavily upon him for ho looked about as well .if usual. Herrick betrayed no nervous ness and looked self confident as if. he expected to bo let off lightly. In fact no later than the moming ho is cre dited with having said that ho would escape all except a nominal punish ment. If this had boon his idea ho wan mistaken. Judge Savage asked if ho had anything to say why the sentence of the law should not bo passed upon him. Ilorrick shook his lioad and replied "nothing. " The court then sentenced him to : hroo years hard labor in the peniten tiary and to pay the costs of > thopros'c- ' cution. Herrick received the an nouncement unmoved. V , When Hanson was called up and asked what ho had tosay , ho replied by pulling a fovv shoots of closely writ ten brief'paper out of his pocket and beginning to road. He spoke of his arrival in the city and how ho mot a stranger whom on acquaintance ho found to have been a soldier of the late civil war. Aa ho himself had boon a soldier also and had received four wounds in in different portions of the body a bond of sympathy was'immodiately ' created between them. .Ho spoke of the man having had n check for $49 it being handed to Iiiin io , try nnd got it cashed and his consequent arrest ' on a charge of obtniniiig'inonoy under false pretenses. He said' ho had boon guilty of criminal care lessness in the matter , but outside of this ho was innocent. His sympathy for liis old'companion in arms had made him loss cautious than was usual. Ho was locked up in the city jail un der jtho' court house and remained there for sonic time. Ho had'been in Andorsonvillo prison for nearly six months , but pronounced the ac commodations of that place superi or to those of the Omaha city jail. Unable to boar the confinement in such a place longer. , ho1 had dug his way out , Ho started westward and > iftor enduring niany hardships' and being almost starved to death on the way , ho finally succeeded hi reaching San Francisco. At that port ho shipped for Australia , made tours of the adjacent islands , finally landing in Calcutta , India. There iho fi nally scoured passage on a homeward bound Htcamor , landing safely in Now York last April. After purchasing Homo clothing ho had about 6200 loft. On the jiist night in New York his companion skipped out while ho was sleeping , taking with him every cent ho had. , Ho was again thrown penni less on tho. world. Ho' finally suc ceeded in raisint , ' 910. Ho then gave himself up ns n prisoner to await the no tion of the Omaha authorities. Ho spoke rather highly ot his treatment bv ShoriS'Guy. Ho denied any crook ed intention upon his part in having the chock cashed and asked that un der the circumstances ho bo given the minimum punishment. Hanaon wore d'long duster and read his remarks in an even voice. His account of him self was written in a really beautiful style , and outside of , a rather too great tendency to poetry was a fine composition. It showed him to bo a man of considerable education , nnd una accustomed to coiupoaitioli. Jiidgo Savage in passing sentence , re marked upon this , and . said there was evidence of ability shown tvhicji if properly directed would secure for the young man a respectable standing in any community. The court spoke of , several mitigating circum stances in' the case , nnd concluded by imposing a Bontonco of two years in the penitentiary and a one dollar fine. John Edwards and George Griffen , the two tough-looking tramps who claim to fallen through a jewelry store show window and had BOV- oral watches to stick to them in un unoxplninablo manner , had being found guilty of grand larceny. Neither of them had anything to say , nnd Judge Savage after remarking that ho was unable to find anything to mitigate the offense , sentenced them each to pay the coats and spend three years at hard labor in the .peni tentiary. Kelly was by far the most moved one of the party. In answer to thu court's inquiry ho said ho had notlj. ing to say , and during the passing oi the sentence , did not lift his head ouce. Kelly , } t wilj bo remembered , pleaded guilty to the charge of em- bonding B. & M. funds. Judge Savayo said it. , was one of the most unpleasant features of his judicial career to past sentence upon Ivelly , Ho had known him well for thirteen or fourteen years past. Ho had known his father and was acquainted with his family. Kelly , the court said , had otten oven thrown businesa liV his .way. In pas sing the'aoitenet ) ) "Judge Savage said ho could be assured that lie felt the greatest Bymp thy for lu'm , Thli was , ho believed thf first time ho hod officially learned of'an offense by Kol- ty. Against the law , But above all private' feelings ho had a duty to per form , and ho therefore sentenced him to twoyoarsinthe penitentiary and to pay the costs of prosecution. When Kelly set down ho buried his face in his hands and looked the picture ol despair. The prisoners wore then led back tc their quarters in the jail. Fonntl Utility Judge Savage decided that .the old license furnished no protection to An'- ' drew Pluclor , and his case waa given to the jury this morning. They wore out but A short time when they 10- tunicd with a verdict of guilty. A motion for a new trial was made which will bo formally overruled to morrow , thus allowing an opportunity to take the case to the supreme courl and allow that body to pass upon itf merits.

Mrs. 0. B. Colby , vice president , made some remarks which wore of a similar Mature to those usually made at meetings on this question. Mrs. C. 0. Chapin road a report of the work the association had done in various places , and said thatona of the diflicultios the association had to contend with was apathy of the women themselves. This she attri buted in a threat measure to ignorance. The women , in her opinion , had only to be informed and uiun they would not in thismattor , Mrs. Amelia Bloomer , of Council Bluffs , then mndo a lengthy speech which , however , she abbreviated on the recommendation of the president. Bho spoke at lonpth on the inosuicul account of woman's position , nnd in answer to the statement often made that man was superior because first created , pointed out that the animals were made first and then human bo- ings. She came to the conclusion that what was written in regard to the women of that time was only applica ble to the women who then lived. At this juncture n'ludy present inquired - quired when Mrs. Mntthowson would glvo her recitation.

The following from last evening's Globe will doubtless interest everybody ; Our reporter made a visit to the now driving park yesterday afternoon , behind Dr. MoKuno's festive sorrels. The Doctor finds himself unexpectedly engulfed iu now labors correspon dence , telegrams , nnd overseeing tljo work at the park itself , The mile race course of the driving park is more than half completed. A dozen men and teams are daily at work upon it. The high fence which is to enclose the park will probably bo completed Una week. A force of carpenters are at work on the amphi theatre and judges' stand. These buildings will uo durable , and have brick foundations. A good stabjo is already completed. A janitor's house will also bo erected directly , The vast quantity of material that Js required tq wako tjieao improver monts 4s already on the ground. Jilaplu and box older shade trees will bo sot out abundantly iu the park this year. year.A pond tliat exists toward the north end of the park is to bo deepened ant preserved as a permanent watering place for atock. The races will bo in augurated on the 20th of the prcsenl month , and continue four or more days. As Council Bluffs is the inns ) accosiblo spot in the west for exhibi tions of horse culturd and speed , we think that the park enterprise wil provo to bo highly successful in the course of n few years , with spirited and intelligent management. The park occupies n level , beautiful tract of about 90 acres. Probably a rabbit could bo scon at ono end of it , with the observer at the other. The street erode is nearly completed to il from the cast. The now street thai is to enter it from Broadway may bo graded this .year. THE BLUFFS IX ImiEf.

They had been seen at different points during the day and once at least a mile from the city building. They excited much sympathy. Bixby & Wood , located on Ban croft street , in the plumbing and gas- fitting business , came hero on the first of April on learning that Coun cil Bluffs was assured of the "water works.

The city won filled with rumors Wed nesday to the effect that Herrick had made n confession in regard to his complicity in the burning of the Do Great hat store , implicating uovora nartics. The rumors were uncortait and disjointed until late at night , am then District Attorney Burnhah could not bo found. Yesterday the reports were veri fied and were in the mouth of every body. The district attorney was ques tioncd about the affair , but was n close us n clam. Ho refused to indicate cato in the remotest way what hai bcon said in the confession , but il nail ) acknowledged that ono had boon mndo Putting this nnd that together i was learned that Herrick had sent n communication to Mr. Burnham say ing that ho wanted to confess. At his own request ho wns taken to Mr Burnham's ofllco last night , nccom panied by n deputy sheriff. There ho made a sworn statement of the facts in the case , and after it had been carefully written out it was signed by him. him.Ai Ai far as can bo learned Herrick claims that ho knew nothing about the affair ttntil after the fire was over , and then ho became acquainted with the fact. The Do Great boys , heavers avers , then gave him $500 to keep his mouth shut about what ho know. This statement tallies with tie fact , sworn to attho trial , that Herrick , usually without money , scorned to have plenty of it on hand after the fire. It also agrees with his boasts that ho'had the DeGroatsv under his thumb. The exact language of the confes sion will not bo given to the public for the present.
