In order that the citizens Of Jersey City
may see at glance the extent of the
property which the city has gained by the
recent decision of the Court of Errors
and Appeals, THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
presents map of the land. 1t will be
seen by this that the tract embraces six
large city blocks, two of which front
upon the canal. It also has water front
of 1000 feet along the tidewater basin,
which the Legislature located in 1872,
when 1T granted the plot to the city.
This basin as shown in the map
extended from Washington street to
within few feet of Jersey avenue Its
width as fixed by the Legislature was
500 feet except for the distance from
Warren street to Washington street
where The width was only 200 feet. This
was done in order that the volume of
water which this narrowing of the chan
mel would cause would keep the channel
clear. This original tide water basin is
now only 200 feet wide and it is
800 feet from the city line
1t is shown on the map by the line COW

Murderer Crampon Creates Fearful
Scene at the Place de la Roquette.
PARIS, Dec. 16, 18S2.-One of the most
horrible of spectacles ever witnessed in
Paris was seen this morning by great
crowd OF people who seemed TO en-
JOY it. Eugene CrampoD, the murderer
OF two men was guillotined to death after
having been carried limp and trembling
to his death. The execution took place
in the Place de la Roquette, and
long before the hour set Ior the exc
cutlon morbid crowd composed
or roughs and abandoned women
ga5nered and coarsely jested. After the
terrible instrument of death had been
placed in position, Diebler, the execu-
Iloner, tested the knife and found it
worked to perfection.
At seven O'clock Crampon was brought
from the prison. He was in an agony of
Tear and had to be supported by several
Wardeus.
After walking a few feet, Crampon,
VINO nad MS eyes cast downward, looked
up and saw the terrible engine
OF death. With a heartrending
shrek. he threw himself backward
aud all efforts to make him rise
again were futile. The executtoners'
assistants were compelled to lift Gram
Don TO his feet and then carry
hlm TO to the guillotine. While some of
tne assistants supported him others
bound him and threw him against the
bascule. Even when pound to the
plank the unfortunate mans
struggles did not cease His contortions
were terrible. The bascule was dropped
into place and showed forward until
Champions neck rested in The luneste
When Monsieur de Psris touched a
spring the bright blade ieIl, and Cramp-
on's head dropped into the BASKET await

of the most horrible Witnessed in Paris in
years. the crowd appeared to greatly en-

OF the new sub-station created a genuine
sensation. The officials deny that such a
move is contemplated. Commissioner
Hayden this morning said that personally
he would not countenance such a move.
As Police Commissioner he served the
best interests of the citizens and had no
personal ends to further. He did not
want the position. The recent school
trouble over the appointment of a high
school teacher is much talked of, but the
more the subject Is investigated the more
person becomes convinced that the los
ing side in the controversy is not entitled
to much sympathy. Had they the votes
a stranger would have secured the posi-
tion, and through political pull" too.
Judge DAILY. it is said, has announced
his discrimination of resigning as District
Judge. A few weeks ago he positively
asserted he would not resign. He is at
home abed suffering from rheumatism.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 16. IS92.-There is
growing suspicion here that the candi-
dacy of James Smith. Jr., the Newark
Statesman, for Senator BTodgett's seat in
the United States Senate, is only a bluff.
1t is said by Jersey statesmen at Wash
ington that Smith as well as his friend,
in private concede the election OF Gov
ernor Albeit, and are ouly making the
fight in order to place Mr.. Smith in line
for Senator McPherson's seat in case the
latter goes into the Cleveland Cabinet
The friends of Mcpherson aud Albeit
would be satisfied with such result.

A NEW MOVE FOR HALLINGER.

PeshalI Applies to Judge Werts For q
New Trial and Gives Reason,
Counsellor Peshell, through Lawyers
Feeney and Manping, applied to Judge
Werts for a new trial for Murderer Hallin-
ger, on the following grounds:-
First, that Hallinger never pleaded
guilty TO murder in the first degree as the
record discloses, but in fact to murder in
the second degree.
Second, that he never had the benefit
of counsel, the one assigned by the Court
not being accepted by him. The counsel
SO assigned not being ordered by the
Court to defend him on the merits, but
as to the effect of the plea.
Third, that at the different dates the
examination was had by the Court in as
certaining the degree of guilt, Hallinger
had not the privilege of cross-examina-
t1on OF witnesses, also was without
counsel.
Fourth, that when he pleaded guilty.
such plea was accepted by four Judges;
that only two of them. Knapp
and Ltppincott, adjqdged him gull
was entitled to the Judgment
of the other two Judges who. although
not deciding, yet afterwards signed the
sentence of death Cor June 80,
1891. Hallenger alleges that had
he known that a death sentence
might be imposed as WIS done, he would
have insisted on a jury trial. Hallinger
also alleges error in the record in
tnat the Court never convicted him
until after all the evidence was in, where
as he should be first convicted on his plea
and then Droceed to have the degree of
guilt adjudged.
These points were embraced in an affi-
oavlt Hallinger swore to Before
Counsellor Max Salinger yester-
day. Mr.. Peshall today
asked Prosecutor Winfield to con sent to
new trial of Hallinger, but the Prose-
cutor in forcible language replied, NO -
Judge Werts reserved his decision.
II Judge Werts refuses the application
Peshall will then apply for writ of
error
