Quiet,

San Antonio was quiet last night,
and nothing was done in the way of
amusements except to attend the gar
dens, where concerts were given. A
large number of the church goers at
tended prayer meetings in the Prot
estant churches, others attended May
devotions in the Catholic churches,
while many contended themselves
with inspecting the drilling of the
Belknap and Maverick Rifles.

WOODBURY., N. j., Nov. 13, 1SS9.--The
hanging of Hillman was simply horri-

shoulder of the Rev. Wilmer Mobiles, one
of his spiritual advisers, while the black
cap was being placed on his head, and at
1929 he went on the scaffold.
His step was firm and he exhibited un-
usual nerve.
said:-s'My dear friends-All have tosay
is that my wife has nothing to do with it.
l am the only Hillman who ever did any
thing l have forgiven all who had any
thing to do with it, and some day | hope
to meet you in heaven"
At 1881 the rope was cut. The knot
failed to slip and the body hung in mid
air. His struggling was terrible, and he
could almost be heard to speak as he
groaned. His hands, although pinioned,
he managed to get almost to his mouth.
Hangman Van Hise released the body
to almost within six inches of the scatfold
floor and adjusted the knot.
and Abbott pronounced life extinct, and
at 1855 the body was cut down and
placed in the coffin.
The family refused to allow the physi-
clan to hold post-mortem examination,
and the body was Immediately taken to
Turnersville, and buried on the farm of
Ephraim Hillman, the boys father.
Ephraim Hillman, Jr., brother OF the
murderer, was the only member of the
family who witnessed the execution.
The crime for which Joseph Hillman
was executed this morning was COM
mitted on November 8, 1888.
On March 27 last the body of Herman
Sedan, Jewish peddler, was found in
Nash's Mill Pond.
A few days later Hillman, who is only
twenty years of age, was arrested on
suspicion.
The Grand Jury found true bill
against him, and the case went over until
September Court. On September 16 the
case was tried before the Supreme Court,
when the jury rendered a verdict OF
guilty, and Hillman was sentenced to be
hanged today.
On the day of the murder the peddle1
went to tHillman's house and was pre-
vailed on to stay all night. During
the night. Hiilman went to the room
occupied by the peddler and crushed his
skull in with hatchet After rifing the
mans pockets of $14. 09 the body was taken

SHE SAVED THE BURGLARS LIFE.

SaIoonkeeper Franks Wife Prevents Him
from Shooting the Intruder.
Mrs. Eugene Frank saved the life of a
burglar this morning. Her husband
keeps saloon and restaurant on Mont
gomery street, adjoining the Journal
office. He was awakened about three
O'Clock this morning and heard stealthy
footsteps in his hallway and rooms, over
his thirst cure.
Jumping out of bed he exclaimed"
burglar, burglar. Get me my pistol,
wife, and 1 Will shoot him." This bold
declaration threw the wife into a state
bordering on Mysteries, and she begged
him not to think of such a thing. The son
in the meantime arrived on the scene,
and ably seconded his mothers motion,
if not her emotion.
Failing to get his gun, Frank boldly re-
solved to tackle the house breaker with
out any. He saw man in his hall, and
sprang for him. The man eluded his
grasp and shot out the front door, which
had been left open. Frank did not pursue
far, as he was not equipped for pursuit.
On returning to his room, he demanded
of his wife what she had done with his
pistol, and was disgusted with the reply
that she had hidden it for fear he would
shoot the burglar and get locked up for
murder

three times his age
Policeman Whaien found him late last

said that his father and mother were
dead, that he had no one to care for him,
and so was without a home
When taken to the station house, one
of the other policemen recognized him as
the son of one of the most respected
families on Park avenue. The young
rascal bulldozed his parents.
If they attempted to chastise him he
would alarm the neighborhood with his
shrieks, and so by sheer vocal power,
forced them to give him his own way. He
was sent home by the policeman.

A SENSIBLE VETO.
Hoboken's Mayor Sits Down on the Pro-
posal to Increase Police Pay.

Hoboken's Mayor Sits Down on the Pro-
posal to Increase Police Pay.
The session Of the Hoboken Common
Council was of unusual length last even
ing. A communication was received
from Corporation Attorney Minturn stat
ing that the Supreme Court had decided
that the ordinances passed by the Coun--
Gil some time ago, creating fifth ward
in the city, was illegal.
The communication also limited that 1t
was the opinion of Judge Dixon that
Mayor Grassmann's action in appointing
DIR. Heller City Physician for three years
might also be contested.
Mayor Grassmann vetoed the resolu-
ton passed by the Cou neil last week,
providing for special election for the
increase of the pay of the police force.
The reasons for the Mayors action are
that Hoboken needs an increase In the
membership and not the pay of the force,
and that special elections are always at
tended with corruption.
The irrepressible Patsy" Londrigan
denounced the veto and said the Mayor
had no legal right to take such action.
