THEY DUG UP HIS BODY.
The Father and Brother of Murderer
Hillman Tried to Save Him.

Hardly had the sound of carriage wheels died
away as the officers who buried the Murderer
Hillman at Woodbury., n. j., drove home, be-
fore Ephraim Hillman the dead mans brother
and the aged father of the murderer seized a
shovel each and out in the pouring rain COM
menced digging the mud from the grave of the
son and brother. When the box containing the
coffin was reached, assisted by two other male
relatives of the dead man, the four lifted the
body to the surface of the ground and carried
1t into the house. No time was lost in unscrew-
ing the lid of the coffin, and soon the body of
the murderer was disclosed to view. While the
deputies were enjoying their dinner a few
miles away, satisfied that their work was we'll
executed, the family of Hillman we're bending
over his coffin, weeping Historically and call
ing for their boy to speak to them again. Mrs
Hlllman rested her head on her boys face and
sobbing kissed the cold forehead and called
to him to speak to her. The father and brother
OF Hlllman stood by crying bitterly, while the
wife of the executed man and his sister bent
over the foot of the coffin and sobbed aloud.
The face was black and wore an expression of
intense agony. The cash in his throat, made
by the slipping of the rope, was still fresh and
bloody. Around the neck of the dead man
could be distinctly seen thin, blue circle, the
imprint OF the rope as the man strangled to
death. The body was kept in the house during
the entire night, closely guarded by the family,
who, one and all, sat near the coffin. Yester-
day morning the lid was again placed on the
coffin and the body lowered into the grave in
the presence of the family. Hilman fears
some one will attempt to steal his boys body.
Any such attempt will prove disastrous, as Mr.,
Hillman has an old army musket heavily
loaded with large shot, which he says he will
empty into any one caught lurking around his
boys grave. The aged father intends keeping

A $4,000 Ice Plant Sold for

From the Lewiston Journal
Very evidently the ice business on the
kennebec river is not all profit, if the expert
ence of one of the ice operators is to be taken
as the rule. In 1882 certain well-known Ken
nebec capitalists purchased ice houses Oh the
river which were filled with ice, some Il. 900
tons. paying $4,000 Although the ice was
worth good figure, they did not sell it, until
now the product has SO decreased in value that
not over 1000 worth OF Ice could be picked
ont, and it would cost more to get it than it is
worth The owners paid si00 year land rent,
and the other day sold the ice and buildings
for the small sum of $780, the tools for : l25 and
the boiler for $780, thus getting about $500 for
that which cost them SIG 900 in the beginn ing,
besides the land rent. A prominent Ice man
estimates their loss at $4,000

How Long DO You Sleep?
From the London Lancet.

FROM lHc LONDON Lancet.
Insomnia is rightly Agarded as one of the
marks of an overweight or worried nervous
system, and conversely we may take it that
sound sleep lasting for reasonable period say
from six to nine hours in the case of adults.
Is fair test OF nervous competence. Various
accidental causes may temporarily interfere
with sleep in the healthy; but still the rule
holds good, and normal braun reveals its con-
dltion by obedience to this daily rhythmic vari-
alton. Custom can do much to contract ones
natural term of sleep, fact of which we are
constantly reminded i'll these days of high pres
sure; but the process too artificial to be freely
employed. LabOriOus days with scanty inter
walls of rest go far to secure all the needful
conditions Of insomnia. In allotting hours
of sleep it Is impossible to adopt any
maxim or uniform custom. The due allowance
varies with the individual. Age, constitution,
sex, fatigue, exercise, each has its share of in
fiuence. Young persons and hard workers
naturally need and should have more sleep than
those who neither grow nor labor. Women
have by common consent been assigned a
longer perior Of rest than men, and this ar
rangement, in the event of their doing hard
work. Is in strict accord with their generally
tighter physical constructive and recurrent in
firmlties. Absolute rule there is none, and it
Is OF little moment to fix an exact average
allowance, provided the recurrence of sleep be
regular and its amount sufficient for the needs
OF given person, SO that fatigue does not re-
suit IN such nerve prostration and irritability
as render healthy rest impossible.

Fishes Built for Sneed.

From the London Public Opinion.
The speed of fishes is almost an unknown
quantity, it being, as Prof. G. Brown Goode
says, very difficult to measure. IT, says the
professor, you could get fish and put it in
trough of water l 900 feet long and start it at
one end and make it swim to the other without
stopping the information could be easily OBJ
tanned; but fish are unintelligent and will not
do this. Estimates of the speed of fish are
consequently only Appropriated and moro or
less founded upon guessing. One can tell,
however, at a glance, whether fish is built for
speed or not. A fast fish looks trim and pointed
like yacht Its head is concal in shape and
Its fins MT down close to its body like a knife
blade into its handle. Fish with large heads,
bigger than their bodies and with short stubbv
ms, are built for slow motion. The predatory
fishes, those that live on prey. are the fastest
swimmers. The food fishes are as a general
thing, the slowcst and consequently. are easily
captured. Their loss is recOmpensed. however
by the natural law which makes them very pro-
life In reproduction. Dolphins have been
known to swim around an ocean steamer and
1t is quite safe to say that their speed is quite
twenty miles an hour, but it may be twice as
much. The bonito is discriminating fish,
but just what its speed is is not known The
head of the goose fish is very largc-twenty
times as big as its body. 1t moves about very
little, anG sWlms at the bottom of the ocean,
The Spanish mackerel is one of the fastest of
food fishes. It's body is cone-shapcd and is as
smooth as FURNISHED metal. Its speed is as
matchless as that OF the dolphin. and. in mo-
ton, 1t cuts the water like Yacht
