THE STATE CAPITOL.
The Board of Commissioners Sele ct Three
Plans for the Proposed Capitol
RulidIng.

Building.
The state board of capitol commits
sioners composed Of Acting Governor Breene,
chairman; Hon. George t. Clark, secretary :;
Hon. John L. Routt, Hon. Dennis Sullivan,
Hon. George W. Kassler, Hon. Alfred Buffers,
state engineer E. s. Nettleton and Hon W.
Webster met in the Supreme court room in the
State House on the 3lst to decide upon plan S
for the new State House. Some fifteen or
twenty sets Of plans were submitted and have
been On exhibition in the Supreme court room
for the past six weeks or more. 1t was claimed
BY each architect, submitting plans, that a
building could be erected in accordance with
them for 100000 or less as provided by law.
The law provided that the board should select
three sets OF plans. The architects were to be
paid 81 500 for first choice, 1900 for second
and $500 for third. The law provides that
these plans being selected by the board should
become the property Of the state. The capitol
will be erected in accordance with one Of the
three sets Of plans provided the work may be
done for not more than 81 900 900. The three
architects whose plans are selected are E. E.
Myers, Of Detroit, F. E. Edbrooke, Of Denver,
and Herman B. seeley, of Denver.
The board will advertise for bids for the
erection of the building In accordance with the
plans Of Mr. Myers. II, when all the bids are
In, It is found that the cost will exceed 81 900,
600 these plans will be rejected. Mr.. Myers,
however, appears to have the inside track, and
is confident that the building can be put up
for several hundred thousand dollars less than
81 100000. Mr.. Myers has devoted most Of his
life work upon public buildings, and has be-
tween s7,O0o, 900 and Is, coo, coo worth Of work
OF this kind on hand st the present time. BE
has built a court house recently at Omaha,
and is now engaged on q city hall there. He
Is also at work on the Texas state capitol, and
has built or IS building public buildings at
Grand Rapids, Michigan, at San Francisco, In
dianapolis, Miflin, Illinois, Ellyris, Ohio, and
numerous other places.
II built in accordance with Mr.. Myers plans
the Colorado State Capitol will be 295 feet
long, exclusive of porticos or steps, 1872 feet
deep at center of the building, and 3e6 feet
high, surmounted BY statue Of Colorado. The
building will take 900 car loads Of cut stone,
II, ,0Oo, coo brick and 1900, 900 pounds OF iron.
The roof, gutter and valleys Of the roof will be
Of half inch slate secured by brass screws and
bedded in concrete. The interior will be fin
ished with hard wood and the windows will all
be Of plate glass.
Probably 1t will be some weeks before bids
for the construction of the Capitol will be
asked for, because OF the litigation touching
the Capitol site which will not be concluded
earlier than October.

SLAUGHTER NECK.

Miss Emma Clark. one OF Sussex county's most
efficient teachers. resigned her position here at the
close of the winter term. She has wrought agood
work in this place, and has made many warm
friends In regard to the exhibition held in the
Slaughter Neck NJ E. Church ut the close Of her
term. we beg leave to say that the young ladies Of
Slaughter Neck participated in the vote OF thanks
which was rendered to the Milford ladies. Miss
Clark has the well wishes Of this place. and we
sincerely hope that she may be attended by pros
perity. "Lauda vnus to invicem."
The heavy frost Of last Sunday night did not
seriously injure the peaches. Many persons have
been croakng but the large growers are cOntented.
Unless the wheat kernels grow to be as large as
coffee grains the crop in this Neck will be remark
ably short; as the prospect is certainly poor.
A young man Of tins vicinity thinks that some
of our girls are too practical; as one OF them III
formed him at ten O'Clock on Sunday night, that ii
was then time for him to go home, as she had big
washing to do Monday, and she wanted to get q
good nights rest. Well,t's nice to have 4 gIrl Of
that kindi but our young friend don't think so.

RrRNING OF BLIIR,s FACTORY.
planning MILL. BOX FACTORY, SAW
MILL AND STORAGE HOUSE ALL
DESTROYED.

UE1l NOl EAls
At1.4Oa a. m. last Tuesday morning,
the bells Of the town were ringing out
the fire alarm, and hundreds of voices
were shouting Justify to the sleeping
citizens. When the people residing in
central North Milford looked out OF
their windows, the sight was alarm
ing. The heavens were lurid with
flames and sparks, and the danger OF
the fire spreading was eminent, OWING
to the dry condition OF the houses.
Soon it was learned that the large bas-
ket and crate factory at Blair's works
was in flames, and that no available
means could save it. The saw mill
blaming and veneer cutting works was
next destroyed, then the saw mill,ofhce
and storage house.
All the sash doors and blinds in the
first floor of the storage house were
saved; bu: go, 900 strawberry baskets,
and nearly 1000 crates stored in the
second story were consumed. IN the
mill there was stored about lQO,OOO
baskets, composed of peach and straw
berry carriers. There was no turned
work in stock, as the turning depart
ment had not been in operation this
winter.
The lumber yard of Pitcher & Carey
was on the south side Of the avenue,
and the wind blew the fire way from
it and the large saw mill and lumber
ward of Barber & MinOs, neither were
damaged. Mr.. Blair had his books
locked in the safe and were saved,
The loss on machinery, buildings and
stock will approximate $4,000, and is
insured for 50 800. The watchman
had been discharged in the winter,
and it is probable that had man been
on duty,he would have discovered the
fire (which is supposed to have origi-
mated in the engine roOm), IN TIME to
have saved the works. Sixty persons
are thrown out of employment by this
fire.
Burning shingles fell upon the roof
of Mrs. Julia Adkins house on Front
street and started a promising blaze,
but it was soon eXtinguished by buck
cts of water. Mr.. Purnell Stewards
three-story dwelling and store was
fired In the same manner. DR.. Pratts
drug store and B. d. AndersOn's res
idemce on North street were on fire at
the same time. The sparks fell eight
squares away from the factory, and
started small fires that were soon
stamped out. At three O'Clock the fac
tory was a bed of blazing ruins, and
the danger of the fire spreading was
Dassed
