DIED UNDER CHLOROFORM
Henry Lohman's Little Son Sue
cumbs During a Surgical
Operation.

Water Register Henry Lohman, of Ho-
boken. has the sympathy of all his friends
in the loss of his bright little son Harry,
who died yesterday under peculiarly sad
circumstances.
The little fellow went with his mother
to New York to have slight surgical
operation performed, which in itself was
not dangerous or difficult. DR.. Sundorf,
Jewish physician of 245 East Thirteenth
street, was to perform the operation. and
he put the boy under the influence of
chloroform. He had student present to
watch the operation, and he paused to
tell the student why this was done and
that was done, while the anxious mother
waited for the operation to end.
When, after the boy had been under
the influence of the drug for an hour, he
did not show any signs of vitality. Mrs.
Lohinan became fearful of some danger.
The little fellow never came to life
again.
The chloroform affected his heart, apd
the doctor could not resuscitate him. The
grief stricken mother was forced to turn
her sad steps homeward without the boy,
and when Mr.. Lohman was told of the
boys death, his agony was piteous.
This morning he, with Doctors
Simon, Cudlich and Steadman and
Lawyer DAILY went TO New York to have
an examination of the boys body made.

TRENTON. May %. 1892. 2.-The Excise
Commission of Trenton is still on a strike
for an increase of compensation from $50
to $500 a year. the same amount that is
now paid to all the other city commits
sions. They were to have met Thursday
night. but for the third time this month
they found it convenient not to have a
quorum.
The Law and Order Society were pres
ent to protest against any new licenses
being granted. Several saloons have had
to close because their old licenses have
expired and no new licenses granted to
them.
There is a strong opposition to a num-
ber of new places, and the Law and Order
representatives are now suspicious that
there is a deperate attempt being made to
freeze them out and worry them. A meet
ing is announced for next Tuesday night
aud the Law aud Order people, with a
view of demonstrating that they are alive
to the peculiar situation, will request all
the pastors to give notice of the Tuesday
night meeting from the church pulpit
and urge all law abiding citizens to be
present and give moral support to the OPP
position that the Excise Commissioners
are making to the business of the city.

THE City HALL Site.
Mr.. Heck Suggests the Park
at Grand and Washing
ton Streets.
ILLUSTRATIONS To AID JUDGMENT.
Would Certainly Be an Excellent
Location If There Are No Re-
strictiOns in the Way.

The recent agitation of the impropriery
of erecting the new City Hall on the site
now secured by the City Hall Commits
sioners has given rise to much speculation
as to where "a more suitable and less ex-
pensive site could be found.
The site for which titles and deeds have
been obtained by Corporation Counsel
Edwards, fronting on Montgomery, Mer-
Ger and Henderson streets. doesn't seem
to satisfy every one. Liberal citizens
make no complaint, however. except that
there may have been an error in judg-
ment.
Looking at it in this light and with a
view to aiding the City Hall Commits
sioners in pleasing everyone: many sug-
gestions have been forwarded to them.
Perhaps the most plausible scheme
brought forward as yet is one advanced
by Counsellor John w. Heck of No. g36
Pacific avenue, whose office is in the
Hudson National Bank building. In
advancing his idea Mr.. Heck says:
Il do not find fault with the site. Sc
think. however. the gentlemen made a
mistake and judge from the position they
have assumed all through their proceed
1ngs that they are willing to hear any and
all suggestions made By citizens. The site
they have selected is central in location,
but where the trouble comes in is
in securing a solid foundation for the
building they contemplate erecting. A
heavy building on that spot would, in my
opinion, be inadvisable, and basement
would be virtually useless. My idea is
not to find fault, but to point the Com
mIssioners to spot where municipal
building can be erected. where piling is
unnecessary and where the health of the
future occupants will not be en-
dangered."
Many gentlemen with whom l con-
versed on the subject were of the same
opinion as Mr.. Heck.
HISTORIC GROUND.
The latter gentleman advances a theory.
which. if not entirely practical, is cer-
tainly worthy of consideration. Inas-
much as the present City Hall site is on
marshy and made ground, Mr. Heck
points to SPOT of high ground which is
solid and historical. The site referred to
EN- bodies the intersection of Grand and
Washington streets
The subjoined cut will show just how
this new site looks at the present time.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1892-05-28
be assigned to each of the various depart

ment of the city government.
Mr.. John d. Carscallen did not approve
of this form for the building, and then
Mr.. Heck pointed out that building $50
feet square could be erected. A building
of these dimensions would leave on each
side carriage way of 65 feet. Taking
from IS feet ten feet for a sidewalk on
the outer edge carriage way of 55 feet
would remain on either side, which is
room enough for five ordinary-sized
trucks to pass without danger of COLI
sion. Taking it all in all, the scheme Is
considered by many an excellent one.
Perhaps the most important question
that would arise would be the legality of
such proceeding.
AN EXCHANGE OF THE PROPERTY.
Gould this spot be taken aud the parks
utilized for City Hall purposes" said Mr..
Heck, II would submit as a fair exchange
that the present City Hall site be con-
verted into park. The site now se-
cured would make a pretty park. and
would be more beneficial than the four
little parks at Grand and Washington
streets. In my opinion the Grand and
available one in the city. The parks aud
streets are city property, and really can
not see why surrounding property owners
should interpose any objections. A build
ing fifty square feet would not make
dak of BECAUSE tns OF tbs buildings fass
that the carriageway of 65 feet is as wide
as many of the streets in the city. The
erection of such building would GER
tainly enhance the value of property in
that entire locality. Surround the bui Id
ing with pretty lawn, and what could be
prettier or healthier or make property
more desirablef
CAN IT BE DONE?
There is, however, one other thing to be
considered-can the property in question
be so taken? Mr.. Heck should look up
the deed giving the property to the city.
THE NEWS does not know it's terms, but
it may be that on any attempt to use this
property for any other purpose than q
park the land will revert to the estate, or
heirs, of those who gave 1t. The late
Dudley S. Gregory was one of the par
ties. ii not the sole person interested,
though, perhaps, other heirs may be in
terested also.
Neither Van Worst Park nor Hamilton
Park could be taken for a City Hall, be-
cause in the dedication of those parks it is
expressly stipulated that If the city ever
attempts to use the land for any other
purpose. they shall revert to the original
owners or their heirs-the Van Worst
estate in one case, and the Coles estate in
the other. The Grand and Washington
streets parks may have been given under
the same limitations. The gift deed is
worth looking mp, at all events.

TERRITORIAL "REMINISCENCES
To a the Commissioners in their con-
sideration of this plot a bit of history
might prove of interest to them. This
surrounding it, was at one time known as
Paulus Hoeck, where the Postoffice
stands at present there was hill from 20
to 80 feet in height. New York Bay
could be scanned without difficulty, and
as a result, famous old Paulus Hoeck
Fort was erected in the immediate neigh
borhood of where the Postoffice now
stands.
When old Jersey City was laid out ex-
tending at that time only to Grove street,
what is now Grand street was looked
upon as destined to be the future main
Ghoroughfare.
This famous old hill on which stood
Fort Paulus Hoeck was cut down and
utilized to fill in large portions of the sur
rounding property. Grand street was
made eighty feet wide. The width of the
street was never changed and today it is
one OF the widest roadways in Jersey
City.
OUR FIRST PARK.
A good many years ago, when the older
residents realized that the city was in
need of a park, it was decided to provide
'breathing spot" and the intersection
dedicated to the purpose.
The four plots taken for this purpose
were made one hundred feet square.
Grand street being eighty feet wide and
Washington the same width, gives now,
as shown in the first cut, site for City
Hall. as advanced by Mr.. Heck, plot $50
feet square, Besides being eighty feet
more In length and breadth than the
present site the expense OF piling would
be done away with The old knoll would
permit of several feet of excavation and
cellar and basement would thus be
secured.
1.-The cost of piling thus saved" says
Mr.. Heck. "and it will be thousands of
dollars as compared 10 the Henderson
street site, could be put into a building
which can be made satisfactory in the
matters of ventilation aud drainage"
Should the City Hall Commissioners
give the scheme their consideration they
can take as q guide the course pursued by
the authorities of Philadelphia who se-
cured plot of ground resembling the
Que pointed out by Mr.. Heck at Market
and Broad streets, on which now stands
one of the fiuest municipal buildings in
the United States.
