DIED FOR ANOTHER.

1nitted by His Wife.

New York, February 15th-It has been
learned through the confession of Ephraim
Hillman, father of Joseph Hillman, who
was hanged at Woodbury., New Jersey, last

that his wife was guilty of the murder.
She was not called on to testify at the trial,
and her husband denied that she bad any
connection with the murder and died for
her.
The fathers statement is made on the
confession of Mrs. Hillman to him. The
substance IF the confession is given in a
statement to the police. Zeideman, a
peddler, went 10 her house Oh November
9th and asked if he could stay all night
She told him yes, and after he had been in
the house some time Mrs. Hillman asked
him TO open his pack and let her see his
goods. She selected several articles, smong
them some underclothiug, and asked Zei-
deman what he wanted for them. The
peddler told his price for the goods. She
told him she did not have money Just then,
and wanted him to wait until he made
another trip. The peddler replied that this
was his last trip for the winter and he could
not do it.
Soon after Hillman and his wife went
up stairs to bed, leaving Zeideman down
stairs on a settee to sleep. After they had
DeeD up Suits lOr sOtlS llIuc MIS- I1iIluldIl
said to Joe: you go down stairs and get
Zeideman's pack and bring it up here so l
can get out those things l want. Then you
can take it back"
Joe told her be was afraid to DO it, for
the peddler might be awake. Mrs. Hill
man said; NO, he won't. You go quietly,
and I'll go with you and hold the lamp"
Then Joe said all right. They both went
down stairs, and Mrs. Hiliman held the
lamp on the stairway, about half way.
When ice stopped to pick up the pack,
Zeideman grabbed him. Joe grabbed and
pulled the peddler off the settee to the
floor. Mrs Hillman then ran down quick
" and grabbed an ak which was lying
near the wood. box and struck the peddler
blow on the forehead, and the peddler
fiounced about like a chicken with lis head
off, knocking one of the stove legs off
Mrs. Hillman then said she was afraid
Zeideman would get up and kill them, so
she struck him twice more. Hillman said:
"My God, Nell, you have killed him" and
was greatly agitated.
They got rope, tied his hands and
dragged the body to a pond and threw it in.
Hillman and his wife shen returned and
put the peddler's things in straw bed.

WASHINGTON, February 15th.-Printed
stories about Secretary Tracy suffering from
an attack of nervous prostration are denied
without qualification by those around him.
His illness of few days ago was caused by
his overlooking his stomach, which re-
suited in case of indigestion, from which
he is now about recovered.
He was quite weak again, but Is at pres
ent in good health, as far as any man can
be who has passed through the dangers and
sorrow that he has. He is doing no work
whatever, but leaving all of the administra-
ton of the Navy Department to Commo-
dore It. Ramsey, who has been acting as
Secretary of the Navy ever since the fire.
There are several matters OF consider
able importance pending just at pres
ent that will have to receive the Secre-
tary's signature in order to be properly dis
posed of, and these have been laid on the
shelf until he feels able to take them up
again. Ii is quite probable that he will

He also received a resolution OF SYM

GENERAL MILES.
The Great Indian Fighters Opinion of
Apache Scouts.

Apache Scouts.
WASHINGTON, February 15th.-Governor
Wolhey OF Arizona and General Miles ap-
peared to-day before the House Committee
on Indian Affairs with regard to the pro-
posed removal of the Apaches to the foot
hills.
Governor Wolfey presented large num-
Der of clippings from Western newspapers
which, he said, showed the sentiment of
the people was that these Indians should
not be returned to the West. In speaking
of the Indian Chatto, Governor Woltey
said there was no more red handed muir
derer' than he. The peoplei in Arizona be-
lieved in and liked General Crook, but
they thought he made mistake in
recommending a transfer Of these Indians.
At the conclusion of Governor Woltleys
testimony General Miles, at the request OF
the Chairman of the committee, gave
detailed account of his campaign against
the hostiles from the time of hi. relieving
General Crock in April, 1856 to the time
of their surrender. He declared be had no
confidence in Indian scouts. If they were
true 10 the military they were false to their
own people.
He had no use for men who would hire
out at SIS per month to trail their friends
and relatives for delivery 10 the enemy.

the Indians moved TO \ place that was
bealthfuI and beneficial to them, and of
their removal finally to the East.
General Miles also presented copy OF
his report on the surrender of the Indians
which was sent through military chan
nels by way Of San Francisco. There, he
said, it had been pigeon-holed, and was
afterwards taken out on an order from
the War Department.
This report, General Miles said, had
never been published. 1t was dated Fort
Bowie, Arizona, September 6, 1886, and
addressed to the Assistant Adjutant-Gen-
eral of the Division of the Pacific, San
Francisco. 1t contains brief account of
the surrender of Geronimo and his band,
and says:
"They are wholly submissive, and can
be controlled without difficulty. They ex-
pect Punishment from this country and
know l am moving all those at Fort
Apache For reasons of economy, safety
and health, still believe Forts Riley and
Leavenworth would be suitable places of
confinement aud the worst of the men and
bows could be placed within the prison
walls of the Fort Leavenworth military
prison, but unless receive instructions to
The contrary, shall ship them, and those
at Fort Apache to Fort Marion, Alabama
Arizona and New Mexico will then be
cleared of an element that has been terror
to the people from the earliest settlement
He referred to the desperate character of
the Apaches and said if they were sent to
Fort Sill there would be practically moth
ing between them and the mountains of
Mexico, ard if they got back West they
would in all probability be mounted in six
weeks.
General Miles said in conclusion he
thought the people of Arizona and New
Mexico had great cause for apprehension if
the Indians were removed to Fort Sill.

An UnIucky Gambler Commits Suicide
at Monaco.

at Monaco.
PARIS. February 15th.-Something was
said some little time ago about promises
having been made by the Prince of Monaco
to his wife to the effect that should any
fresh suicide take plsce in his Gominions
that could be attributed directly TO the
gaming tables. the Casino should be closed
forthwith.
Il may certainly be doubted whether any
promises Of this nature were ever really
made, Otherwise the moment would have
come for fulfilling it; another suicide I'M
questionsbly due to the sambling-rcoms
being reported from Monsco.
A French gentleman sent bis msn-serv-
ant few days sgo to the station, 10 take
seven pisces on train, matter Of l,5O0
francs being intrusted 10 him for that pur-
pose. On his way the foolish fellow
stopped at the Casino, intending 20 risk
one. just one, of his masters louis, and to
pocket the winnings.
Ii CHANGED, however. that the first louis
risked was raked up By the croupier, and
the man.seIvant, hoping TO recover it,
played again. So he continued doing
until the whole sum intrusted to him was
lost and not daring to confess his folly to
his master, the unlucky player determined
that the only course open to him was to
throw himself into the sea. leaving behind
him statement Of the reason why he felt
it incumbent upon himself TO put an end
to his existence.

BADLY BURNED.

Opium Outlay.

Opium Outlay.
SAN FRANcIsco, February 15th.-Meggie
Harper, e waitress in the Elite dive, was
possibly fatally burned to death early this
morning. She and her alleged husband,
Jack Harper, room at 317 Stockton street.
A FIRE broke cut in their room this morn
ing, shortly before o'clock, which caused
a damage of $50.
The gil, who ives in bed, was burned all
over her body, face snd arms by the ignit-
ing of the bed-clothing. DR.. 4emans, who
attended her at the Receiving Hospital,
who at first said that the burns were super
fetal, later expressed the opinion that they
were more serious than he at first supposed,
and there was a possibility Of her death.
The origin of the fire is somewhat uneer-
tain.
Harper, the husband Of the woman, says
that he was in bed when his wife came
home. She partially undressed and laid
down on the outside of the bed. lie asked
her to give him cigarette which she did,
ard he began TO smoke. While smoking
he thinks he must have fallen asleep, and
dropped the cigarette on the bed-clothing.
Another story, and probably the most
likely, is that the man and woman were
preparing to smoke opium, an outfit for
which purpose was found in the ROOM
They auetreled as to who should have the
first turn at the lamp. Harper, who was
intoxicated at the time, switched things
around pretty lively, and turned the lamp
over on to a newspaper, which caught hre
and set the bed-clothing ablaze.

KANSAS CRY (Mo.). February 14th.-The
story of the killing of General Jem John
SON last Friday afternoon by William
Vaughan in the Ozsrk Mountains, in
Douglas county, is particularly interesting
as showing the marvellous skill of the
Ozark Mountain men in the use of the re-
voIver.
Johnson was a storekeeper i i the hamlet
of Rome, in Douglas county. He was a
drinking man, and when in LIQUOR was
ouarrelsome. Some years ago Johnson
sold a piece Of land to Vaughan, and gave a
Quit claim deed to il. johnson had only q
tax title to the land, but Vaughan says that
the deed was represented as conveying a
clear and good title, and he, relying on
Johnson's standing as merchant and bus
mess man, accepted the deed IS such, only
to be ousted BY the real owner, who came
forward and paid the tax claim. Vaughan
was loser to a considerable amount, and
the two men had frequent quarrels over
the matter.
On last Friday Vaughan was in Rome.
After making some purchases he drove off
on his way home. johnson was drinking
and anxious for fight He heard that
Vaughan had been il town and had spoken
about the old trouble, and mounting his
horse galloped after him, taking another
road, so as 10 head him of, but failed to
overtake him until he reached his home.
Vaughan was taking his horses from his
wagon as Johnson odeinto the yard. john
son jumped off his horse, picked up a
stone, threw it, and hit Vaughan in the side
of the head.
Vaughan picked up the same stone and
hit johnson in the mouth. Then Johnson
drew his revolver and began firing but be-
ing drunk and unsteady he fred wild
Vaughan jumped behind horse at the first
shot until he could draw his own pistol
and then jumped out again according to the
Ozark code of honor and returned the ire.
Johnson ducked his head as Vaughan
aimed, hoping thus to dodge the shot, but
got the bullet fair in the top of the head
and pitched over on his face. Before he
could reach the ground, however, dead in
the air as he was, Vaughan fired two more
shots, each so near the first that silver
dollar lust covered the three holes. The
men we're twelve steps apart at the time.

ter Their Condition?
copyright, 1890, by New York Associated Press |
BERLIN, February 15th-It is erroneous
to suppose that the Emperor has plunged
into all this labor matter in defiance of the
Chancellor's opposition.
Throughout the inception of the pro-
gramme the Emperor continually sought
the opinion of the Chancellor upon the
main theme itself, and upon it various
phases as they presented themselves. That
opinion had modified the Emperor's pur-
pose and action at many points, but it had
not curtailed his views SO far as to impress
upon them any radical change.
BisHarck's right hand man, Or. kayser,
has been appointed Vice-Secretary to the
Council of State. This appointment dis
proves the renewed rum0rs that there is
increased friction in the relations between
the Chancellor and Emperor.
Under the point that the workingmen
would not appreciate the interest the en-
plover felt in their welfare, and gross in
gratitude from them would be the only
response to the effort to ameliorate their
condition. the Emperor has used the fol-
lowing language: 80 hear the gratitude of
the yorkingmen is Dot my motive. My
motive is TO see that justice is done. Ii
satisfy my own conscience on that point,
shall be Indifferent to their ipgrattuoe.
II the souls of the workiDgmen are
so hardened that they cannot properly
respond to what we shall endeavor to do
for them, it must be due TO degradation and
misery, and gives more reason for coming
to their rescue. But do not believe they
viii fail to recognize the earnest and hon
est effort to improve their position in the
social SCALE
II is thought that during the elections
for the Reichs,ag, Thursday, every part of
the country will be quiet. The meetings
of Socialists everywhere are now undis-
turbed. The police have been ordered to
cease to interfere with them. The En-
peror has especially warned the Police
Bureau to refrain from any practices OF
doubtful propriety and plainly said that
he will not tolerate the use of agents pro-

The Rhine provinces and Saxony are bold
