Sind ram was hanged at 8:35 : a. m. for the murder of Mrs. Catharine Crane , his landlady , on January 20,1880. Mrs Crane did not die until five weeks af ter the wound , which was in the neck. She had been ill for many years frorr L2- 3blood poisoning , which showed itseli in frequent abscesses and at the time when she was shot by Sindram her physical condition was very low or account of n very largo abscess on the hip. Owing to thcso facts ono of the largest and most closely contested litigations that over took place "over a murderer in New Tori took placo. Sindram was convictet solely on the circumstances attending the shooting , his own confession it the matter to friends , and the tcsti mony of Mrs. Orano's attending phy sician , who was not cross-examined. Sindram's counsel produced the affi davits of some of the most colobratec surgeons in Now York , including Dr. Carnochan , to the effect that the bul let wound inflicted by Sindram would have killed her. Sindram has attracted great attention among physiologists , en account of his peculiar mental qualities , possessing an extremely in ventive and cultivated mind and being , able to bafllo all the arguments of the many clergymen who have tried to in duce him to believe in a future state and the immortality of the soul. Ho re l\ mained an infidel to the last. Ho spent the ntoht up to 12 o'clock play ing casino with McGloin , to bo hanged next Friday for the murder of Louis Hanior , whom" he killed while rob bing Hauler's saloon. Sindram ap plied for permission yesterday to superintend the erection of the scaf fold upon which ho was to bo hung so thai : there would bo no hitch in its working , ho being an ex port mechanics and inventor. Ho slept well during the night and the doctor who examined him when awakened to go to the scaffold pro npunced his pulse and physical con dition to be entirely normal and devoid void of the least trace of excitement. He ate a hearty breakfast , dressed for the scaffold and met death with per fect coolness. - ' Tie Outbreak ia Arizom * . CHICAGO , Apnl 21.

The guberna- tonal mouth ia at length unsealed and the deadlock broken. The legislature will moot on the 10th of May to take under consideration such matters as are included in the call telegraphed you last night. No earthly reason ox iats why this announcement could not have boon made a month ago and thus have saved all the fume and foment expended on it. The Journal of this place vociferously claims that it know all about it all the time and endeavor ed to twit the Omaha papers over their uneasiness about the matter. It is a matter of fact , however , that oven the governor's secretary did not know the date of the call three hours before it was sent to the printer. The obi'ecta specified in the call are such as have been pre dicted from time to time in those lot tors. The chief dispute will occur , cf course , over the apportionment , on which subject six or eight bill have already boon prepared. It is probable that the session will cover fully throe weeks' time and cost $15,000. The extra session will bo a great boon to the candidates for various ofQcos , as they will then bo afforded an oppor tunity to make their combinations in good shape.
