torial clemency. 1t is not the way to
make crime hideous. 1t is not the way
to convince wicked men that there IS
judgment in affairs. France does this
sort of thing much better.
Now. we were under the impression
that Hallinger was hanged nearly two
years ago. AT least all the newspapers
said he was. and a jury filed a verdict
to a effect. The County paid Hang
man Van Hise's bill for the job, and a
couple of ~clergymen managed to organ
re a post norton row over the poor
devils dying faith.
But of course if the Meteoric Joseph
says he is still alive and fighting for ex-
ecutive clemency, it must be so. The
omnicient New York papers could not
possibly be wrong on a matter of fact,
especially when they are taking a fling
at Jersey.

The Hoboken Assessment.

The Hoboken News joins issue with
us on the taxation question. This is the
gist Of it's argument, put by itself in
one sentence
Jersey City's plea for adding 5 per
cent. to Hoboken's valuation, for it was
Jersey City that raised it, is that the big
CITY was paying more than her share of
these county taxes, and that Hoboken
was sinking. Hoboken's plea is a quid
pro quo.
We just take Mr.. Dollard's own figures
and find him condemned by them. He
saws he assessed real estate at sixty
per cent. of it's value. Well, Jersey City
real estate is assessed at from 70 to 90
per cent. of its value. That settles the
whole business.
We might go one step further and
show that Mr.. Dollard does not really
assess at sixty per cent. On the con-
trary his rate varies from 40 to so per
cent. of true values. There may be ex-
ceptional cases of higher assessment; but
this is the average in the favored quar-
tiers of the city.
Mr.. Dollard's assessments a for
years been a subject of complaint.

BEST RENDERS rs NONE AT ALL
German City Authorities Decision
PuZZles the Traction COMPANY.

A very recent decision by the munich
pal authorities of an important German
city on the question of safety tenders
for electric motor cars is being seriously
considered by the Consolidated Traction
Company's officials. In that German city,
we'll supplied with motors, the attendants
question of a safety fender has occupied
the careful attention of the best men
and they have came to the decis-
ion that the safest fender is to have
none at all.
In that German city accidents had oc-
device was tried and a special COM
mission of railroad engineers, mechanics
and doctors was appointed to find out
the best means to guard against acct
dents by the trolley. 1t was urged that
every patent fender known had not sat
isfactorily solved the problem. If the
scoop caught the man or child the
shock of being thrown back against the
body of the ear had in many instances
produced death, or at least serious in
juries. Then in a large number of in
stances the body on the track had been
wedged between the lower rail of the
lender and mangled by dragging on the
ground in an awful manner.
Finally they agreed that if the front
of the motor, between the wheels, was
clear to the track. there would be no
danger of dragging in front. and the
car could easily pass over a fallen bouy
without injuring it. OF course that is
supposing the obstruction is clear of
the rails.
One point of this decision may be fol-
lowed out by the Traction Company here
when it places it's tenders on the motors;
that is to clear away between the whee:s
all possible Instructions.

MARRIED BY ADVERTISEMENT.
Mrs. Mattgesehack of Chicago the
Victim of a Hoboken SWindler.

Mrs. Augustus Mattgeschack of
Chicago asked the Hoboken police this
morning to hunt for her bunco husband
who had been married to her but two
days when he disappeared with l,030
of her money. Mrs. Mattgeschack is a
divorced woman, having separated from
her former partner in Chicago. Find
ing no suitor to suit err in the City
of Wind, she went to Hackensack where
husband in a New York morning paper
and got a bushel of responses. The one
she answered was from William Sanders
of New York City, and upon presenting
himself, William filled the bill.
On Wednesday last, at eight O'Clock
in the evening the couple were mar
ried by the Rev. William Banby of Hack
ensack. They went to Hoboken on a
honeymoon, arriving there late Wednes-
day night. Sander allowed his wife to
swallow stories that he had incalcula-
BILE wealth somewhere and would buy
houses and things in Hoboken, so they
could live there. Next day he went with
her to inspect residences.
He seemed very muc attached to the
one at No. 127 Hudson street, near the
hotel and declared he would buy it be-
fore it got away. Mrs. Mattgeschack
was induced to lend him $1,030 for the
purpose. She thought she saw Sanders
hand the cash to the landlord.
Sanders told her to wait for him while
he looked up a good house furnisher.
She waited until she was tired; then
went back to the hotel. Her money, her
iewelry-everything she owned was gone;
including Sanders.

EXAMINING THE ROAD
Freeholders Look at the Alleged
'afg e. Z Bad Work on the
Boulevard.

A careful scrutiny of wDrk done on
the southern sections of the new Boule-
yard was made yesterday by members OF
the Board of Freeholders. Beginning at
the Pennsylvania Railroad cut, the Free
holders inspected those portions recently
criticized by the special committee of
the Grand Jury, and in many places
tested by measurement the depth of the
macadam pavement and other details
complained of.
The road, of course, is not finished, ana
there still remain nineteen blocks, be-
tween 40th and 59th streets, in the first
section, to grade and dress. The SIDE
walks, however, are all graded, and, so
far as the Freeholders were able to see
the work was progressing favorably.
From the Morris Canal north 10 the
Newark and New York Railroad cut,
the road has not been graded, because
the property is not all secured to the
county yet.
The inspecting party paid great at
tention to those places where 1t was al
legged he uniform depth of 4 lnches OF
macadam mentioned in the specifications
had not been complied with. In some
places, jocularly termed by the workmen
Jury holes,' there was a slight uneven
ness; but, according to the knowing
ones, it is absolutely impossible in a

You get a plane and shave it down

IT WILL BE A GREAT SPEEDWAY.
The Is feet speedway in the centre OF
the Boulevard is now being laid with
Shark River gravel. This being a yell

lines of yellow, thanked by black macad-
am and bordered by the green trees, Il,
curious and beautiful when on the hiliy
portion there is an Uninterrupted view OF
two or three miles of road. This speed
way when finished will look precisely
like the Rumson Road at Red Bank,
which is noted among horsemen as an
almost perfect road.
Fifteen-ton rolling machines are being
dragged over the speedway, and the ma
cadam sides dwelling as smooth as a
billiard table.
The bridges over the Central Railroad
tracks and Morris Canal were inspected,
and the contractors responded that these
are finished. hat to cross the Penn
sylvania is now being built, and but for
the fact that the men are obliged to
dig down 40 feet to get a foundation
for the abutments would be further for
ward.
Generally, the F~reeholders were pleased
with the work, and showed this later in
the day when they ordered warrants dor
the contractors paw.
