DIVIDED REPORTS.
The Republican Senators and Assem-
blymen filed into the judiciary COM
mtttee room of the House after the ses-
sion. was over and an effort was made to
commit the causus to a resolution OPP
posing the race track bills. Herbert
Potts made strong argument in favor
of having the party fight the bills right
through from start to finish. He spoke
about the feeling all oyer the State aud
said it would be a wise act as well as
right one to put the Republican Party
squarely on record as being opposed to
the evils complained Of at Gutenberg
and Gloucester. Mr.. Parker, of Newark,
who introduced the bills. explained his
position. He said bis constituents wanted
Monmouth track reopened. and it was on
that issue that he had been elected in a
Democratic district. He asked the others
to leave the question an open one SO that
each man could vote as he pleased.
There was good deal more talk and the
meeting finally broke up after midnight
without coming to any conclusion.

FOUR MORE BODIES.
The Hotel Royal Still Giving Up Its
Ghastly Secret.

NEW York, Feb. 9, 1S92.-Four m ore
bodies have been recovered from the
Hotel Royal ruins since midnight. This
makes sixteen altogether.
There are probably MANY more buried
under the heaps of debris, which the
workmen have not reached with their
picks and shovels, and which will be re-
covered within the next twenty-four
hours.
Three other bodies were positively iden-
titled at the Morgue this morning.
They were those of Miss Sarah Blake OF
Stamford, Conn; Mrs. J. Cohen of Tor
onto. Canada, and Lewis Levy of London,
Ontario.
Superintendent Brady of the Bureau
OF Buildings, still insists that he has no
reason to believe that the Hotel Royal
was not well and properly supplied with
ire-escapes in accordance with the law
The universal testimony Is that the
escapes were absolutely useless when the
need for them came, and that the ropes,
which were supposed to be in every room
in the house, were utterly unserviceable
in many instances, aud in the greater
number of the rooms could not be found
at all.
Walter Yates is the only one of those
injured in the Hotel Royal fire who still
remains in Bellevue Hospital. He is suf-
fering from burns and shocks. and was
still in critical condition this morning
There was bigger crush of spectators
today than yesterday. but they could
see very little, except from the
north side of the ruins. the
workmen having piled up the debris
mountain high on the sixth avenue side,
which shuts out all view.
The police had little trouble In
keeping back the men but the
women were more eager to get
close to the ruins and frequently tried TO
break through the line. They made
all sorts of excuses to pass the blucoats.
Most of them either 'lived or worked in
the next block"
The number of missing persons still
unaccounted for is "a.

THAT SILLY OLD REPORT
An Uneasy Day for Hallinger and
the Sheriff-Caused by
Idle Gossip.

There was vague impression about
the Court House all day that Hallinger
would hang tomorrow. 1t was caused
by report that Judge Green had refused
to act in the proceedings before him un-
til ten o'clock tomorrow.
II this had been true and reprieve not
granted, Sheriff McPhillips would, ac-
cording to his own words have executed
the negro Immediately after the Court
House bell announced the hour of ten.
The summons to the jury and the
newspaper reporters were issued and they
were directed to be at the jail at nine
O'Clock.
LABOR IN VAIN.
Sheriff McPhillipS went to Trenton
this morning to ascertain his duties in
the matter. and no information was re-
ceived from him all day. In the meantime
Van Hise. the Newark hangman. his two
sons. Walter and Harry. and third as
sistant, went to work and completed the
galows. 1t is entirely finished but the
has seen considerable service,
but Van Hise refused to say
how much. 1t is built of heavy beams
about five inches thick each way and
heavily braced by iron. The cross bar is
about seven inches thick.
The macllne was erected IN w ara o
and occupies the space on the corridor in
front of three cells. Ward is on the
second corridor.
The scaffold is sixteen feet high and
fifteen feet wide. The drop rope which
passes through ten inch hole through
the floor has 700 hundred pound weight
attached.
STILL IN VAIN.
Jailer Birdsall also made arrangements
to make the representatives of the press
and others whose duty would have COM
PEELED them to be at the. jail-sonight as
comfortable as possible. Two watchmen
are constantly on duty in front of Hallin-
gers cell, which has been changed
to the detention room on the second
floor Before the hangman began to
erect the scaffold the iailer caused
all the prisoners to be removed from
Ward and none will remain there until
the execution is over
go wEFFUM ME-"
When 1 saw Hallinger today and asked
him what he had to say, he replied:--
Il don't want to talk to you. Go way
from me. Go ask Motley wat he wants
to say" and he hid himself in the
recesses of his cell. The Motley
referred to was the colored
minister who was charged by Hallinger
with not giving Hallinger's two children
some money intended for them and with
not sending them to their aunt in the
South where they now are.

WRIT OF HABEAS.
Schmid's Counsel Will be Heard
on the Death of Kolynsky.

Application for writ of habeas corpus
was presented today by Counsellor John
DENIM in the Schmid-Kolynski case.
Judge Lippincott granted the writ and
made it returnable at ten O'Clock tomor-
row. The petition recited simply the
facts of Schmid's arrest and imprison-
ment, which, it claims. Is illegal. because
no person appeared before Justice Casper
to prosecute the charge of murder; "that
said Justice committed petitioner on said
charge without any evidence to sub
stantiate said charge or make out prob
able cause for the detention of the
petitioner on said charge"
THE PROCEEDINGS BEFORE CASPER.
Martin Schmid, the coal HEAVIER, ac-
cused of the murder of Adam Kolynsky,
was arraigned before Justice Casper yes
terday afternoon. The case was set down
for four O'Clock, but two witnesses for the
State failed to put in an appearance and
at five O'Clock Casper committed Schmid
without bail and sent him to the County
Jail to await the action of the Grand
Jury.
The evidence produced in Casper's
court was given by W1lhelm1na Schm1d
and Mary Cioch. friends of the deceased,
who testified that Adam Kolynsky on his
death bed in St. Francis Hospital in
formed them that Schmid had showed
him off the dock.
Adolph Savinsky, John Jokouski and
Starg Bourd, who were on the dock when
Kolvnsky fell, testified that Schmid, the
prisoner, did not quarrel with or kick the
dead man, and further that he was not
within ten feet of Kolynsky when the
latter slipped and fell off the dock.
Councillors Denning and Manning
pleaded for the release of the prisoner,
but Justice Casper decided against them.
Casper had written his decision in aG-
vance, In it he said he was satisfied
from the evidence he had already heard
that there had been q scuffle on the
trestle and that Schmid had thrown
Kolynsky off. He further said that he
considered Schmid guilty of man.
slaughter but would leave the case fol-
the Grand Jury to hear in full.
sCHMID SENT TO JAIL.
Schmid was lodged in the County jail
by Constable O'Beirne.
To JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter Dlllo-
had been given him, but Justice
Casper say he has proof tc
show that he did give Dilloway
commitment papers but that the con.
stable willfully permitted him to escape.
Justice Casper, for his own protection.
intends bringing the attention of the
Grand Jury to the matter in order that
it may be fully Investigated.

Repeal OF EXISTING Laws.
Special to the jersey City Neacs.
TRENTON, Feb. 9, 1s92.-The New Jersey
State Publishers Union held its second
annual convention in this city yesterday
afternoon. The following resolutions
were unanimously adopted
/. Resolved, That the two acts by the Legsla-
ture last March, known as chapter 95 and 26G,
the first Of which gives the German
press of the State unusual privileges
in the matter of Illegal advertising,
and discriminates against English printed news
papers, and the second of which aims to deprive
many legitimate and long established newspa-
pers from legal estate advertising, should be re-
pealed. Both acts form novel and DANCE rous
precedents, are nequitable, and were, we be-
iieve, passed without full legislative knowledge
of their import
2. Resolved, That as chapter s66 was not
legally enacted according to the legislative
minutes, that steps be taken to have the law ct
aside by the Supreme Court; to this end, the
committee to be appointed is authorized to
secure legal advice and may assess the mem
bers of the Union, not exceeding S3 per capita,
in payment thereof.
committee of three was appointed to
draft bill embodying these views, OBJ
tain the opinions of State publishers on
the subject and report.
A memorial was read upon the death
of Mr.. Gardner of Bayonne, who was
identified with the State press for up
wards of half century.

NEWARK, Feb. g. 1892.-As was an-

aqueduct water will be published each
week, so that its improvement. as the
supply from the PequannocK region is
increased. may be noted, The analysis
will be made by Mr.. William Wiener,

study in both the School of Arts and
School of Mines at Columbia College. In
presenting his first report Mr.. Wie-
ner accompanies it with a general state
ment respecting water analysis.
Here is the first report:-Armed with
the acknowledged fact that water con-
tanning large amount of organic filth,
even though specific poison be absent, is
injurious to the health. the analyst Is
able by his labortory work to point out
the presence OF said impurity. Having
learned by experience the limits of the
amount OF organic and other impurity
which water may contain and still be
potable from sanitary point of view, the
Importance OF the analytical report be.
comes very great in the determination Of
the potability of water.
A PROPER ANALYSIS.
A proper kind of an analysis of potable
water generally employed for sanitary
purposes consists in the determination of
solids, chlorine. free and albuminoid am
monia, hardness before and after boiling,
appearance, odor at 1929 F., quantitative
determinations of phosphaIes, nitrites
and nitrates.
Below will be found such an analysis of
sample OF the present water supply, the
sample having been taken from the
