PETER HERNIA HANGED.
He Made Desperate Fight Before tn
Execution Was Accomplished.

Execution Was Accomplished.
New York, Sept. 10. Peter Hernia
was hanged in the county Jail at Hack
ensacK, N. j., today for the murder of
Barney Kanter, butcher, but before
his execution was accomplished Hernia
made desperate fight.
When two deputy sheriffs approached
him to strap his arms, he tore off two
brass brackets on the side of his cell
and, getting into the corridor, leaped
over partition. He then tore off a
piece of lead pipe and, crouching in a
corner, shouted that he would brain
any one who came near him. By this
time the Jail was in an uproar. The
sheriff and his deputies were at first
puzzled as to how to deal with the
murderer. 1t was finally decided to turn
hose on him. This was done; and,
as Hernia put up his hands to ward off
the water deputy sheriff leaped over
and grabbed the murderer's hand in
which was the lead pipe. Other dep
uties quickly rushed in.
Hernia was finally oyerpowered and
securely strapped. He was then placed
in chair and carried to the gallows,
his clothing dripping wet. He was
lifted from the chair and the moose
quickly adjusted about his neck. The
sheriff then asked him if he had any
thing to say. He replied in weak
voice: Goodbye all. Excuse me. :"
The drop was then sprung, and Hernia
died of strangulation.
The condemned man during the night
asked frequently for whisky, and this
morning he refused to eat his break
fast, When whisky was refused him,
he smashed chair in his cell, and two
priests who we're with him had great
difficulty in calming him.

SLEW WIDOW AND HIMSELF.

Unrequited Love Figured in a Dual
Tragedy at Tamaqua.
Tamaqua, Pa, Sept. ia shocking
dual tragedy was enacted here last evening,
when Peter Shatfer, aged about So years,
slew Mrs. Anna Lloyd. aged 40 years,
widow, and then shot and killed himself.
For the last four or five years Shaffer had
been paying marked attention to Mrs.
Lloyd, but he received little announcement.
Yesterday afternoon he called at her home,
on Brown street, to press his suit. Ho
was received kindly, but was told that his
love was not requited.
According to the story of Mrs. Lloyd's
17-years-old daughter Florence, who was In
an adjoining room and heard the interview,
Shatfer became very abusive, and her
mother finally told him that his attentions
were distasteful TO her and that he should
leave her. Shatfer then asked if she was
going to marry someone else, and she re-
piled that che did not care to marry at all.
When he had gone Mrs. Lloyd sat down
beside the kitchen window and commenced
sewing, while her daughter started to pre-
pare supper.
After leaving the Lloyd residence shaffer
went home, where he procured shotgun
and a revolver. Returning, he entered the
yard in the rear of the house. A grape
arbor, which stands about four feet from
the rear window, screened him from Mrs.
Lloyd's view.
Crawling up behind the arbor he rested
the gun on a large fiowerpot, took deliberate
aim at the woman, who, unconscious of her
danger, continued sewing and talking to
her daughter, and fired. The heavy charge
of bird shot blew the top of her head off
and she fell to the floor dead.
Throwing aside lis gun Shaffer drew the
revolver from his pocket and placing the
muzzle against his right temple pressed the
trigger, the bullet crashing through his
skull. He died Instantly.
When neighbors, who had heard the shots,

revived with great difficulty, and it was
some time before she could tell the story Of
the tragedy.

Clerk Newton of the Parker House,
is telling a good story at his own ex-
pense.
When small boy on the farm his
folks often sent him to the neighbors
to buy dozen eggs when their hens
failed to lay enough.
He noticed that the old farmer
always held each egg before lighted
candle and examined it carefully. In
his innocence of Yankee Ehrewdness
Newton supposed that this was
prompted more by honesty of intention
to detect whether eggs were bad or not.
One day, however, when he counted
his eggs, according to custom, there
were only IL in the basket.
With a determination not to be
cheated, the lad trudged proudly back
to the house and quickly made kno Tn
his discovery.
'sOh," said the old farmer, that's
all right, my boy; one of them has a
double yolk. boston Record.

When Sousa, now famous the world
over as king of march music, landed in

with him valise on which was marked
in plain letters John Philipso, U. S.
A." Time PASSED, and, this son of
sunny Italy commenced to grow musical
and also to become Americanized. 1t
was then, so the story goes, that he
expressed the desire for name more

he was one by choice. Philipso sounded
out of place doing service for man
who had imbibed American beliefs and

suggestion. 1t turned out to be happy

cunTNG HIccouGHs.
Yawning Said TO be the Only Certain and
Speedy Remedy.

Speedy Remedy.
New Orleans Times Democrat.
"Yawning is about the hest cure I
know of for tho hiccoughs,' said an
observant man, and / have stumbled
on the truth quite by accident. 1t was
proved in my case sure cure, and by
reflection | am convinced that it is
perfectly logical result a result ex-
plainable, too, on physical grounds.
All kinds of remedies are resorted to
by men who suffer periodically with
hiccougbs, like stopping the ears and
drinking glass Of water slowly and
without stop, or by holding the
breath, or counting, or thinking in
tently on some subject, and in many
other ways. l have tried all of these
remedies, and at times have been fairly
successful in checking tho hiccougas.
Again, | have seen each ore Of these
remedies fail. In my own experience.
SO far as these remedies are concerned,
drinking glass of water slowly and
without breathing is the most satisfao-
tory. But it is tprsuring enough. On
the other hand, the yawn is not only
efficacious, but it is absolutely without
any of thu torturing features. There
is, as | said before, probably good
physical reason for the yawn being
good remedy for the hiccoughs. The
hiccoughs is described as being modi-
fed respiratory movement, spasmodic
inspiration consisting of contrao-
tion of the diaphragm, accompanied
with closure OF the CLOTHS, so that
further entrance of air is preventedA
The impulse of the column of ain
entering and striking upon tho closed
CLOTHS produces the sound peculiar tot
the ailment tt is reasonable to assumed
that anything that would relieve thel
contracted state of the diaphragm, andi
would reopen the closed CLOTHS, or pariI
tally open it, so the air could enter in |
a normal way, would completely relievf(
the situation. 1t would seem that thfl
yawn, which is nothing more than
deep, long breath, would bring abouef
this RESULT. While tho yawn is sUTPi
posed to be an involuntary movement
que to drowsiness, it is yet fact tha
man can yawn at his pleasure. ThI
being true, it is easily within a man
power to cure the hiccoughs by RESORT
ing to the very simple practice iJ
yawning. OF course, | cannot say thu,
in all cases of hiccoughs the yawn wiz
prove good remedy. But believeA
IN all ordinary cases, where che annoyi
ance is not aggravated, the yawn will
do the work. At any rate, my own ex1
perience has convinced me of the factt
and besides there are the physical cou-
ditions to which | have referred.
