THE NEW BUILDINGS.
Contract Let for the Leary-
Walker Business Row.
THE BROWN BLOCK DELAYED.
Filing Of RorterAeld Scrip Overlaps the
Property-Work ON the Bricks
and Residences.

During the past week the Superintendent
OF buildings has issued thirty-one build
ing permits, mostly for repairs, improve
ments and small buildings, as the total
cost is only $3.50. The law requires that
the plans of al large buildings shall be
submitted aud pronounced satisfactory
before permit is issued. Several sets of
plans are now under consideration for
which permits will probably be issued this
week. Among the permits issued last
week was one for q parsonage to the
Trinity NJ. e. church on Kentucky street,
between Mercer and Republican streets, to
cost 81. 500, and also for q two-story frame
dwelling to be built by the Union Trust
Company in Squire's addition, to cost
s.. 100.
Architect Boone has let the contract for
the erection of the block of stores on
Second street, between Madison and
Spring streets. to be built by John Leary
and Cyrus Walker. The building is to be
length of the block and forty-fi feet
deep. It will consist of but one story, be
built Of brick with stone trimmings and
divided into twelve stores. NJ. Dow & Co.
have the contract and have already spoiled

A hitch has occurred in the erection Of
the new building at the corner Of Front
and Spring streets by Amos Brown and
the Puget Mill Company. Both parties
had concluded to go ahead with the work,
when it was found that the Portertield
scrip filed on the narrow strip Of land be-
tween the meander lines of the different
surveys had caused . complication. be-
cause the strip mentioned infringes for .
foot or two on the site Of the proposed
building. 1t is not expected that this will
interfere with the erection Of the building,
but 1t may cause delay.
The stone foundation Of the Union
Trust Company's building, corner of Sec
ond and Main streets, is progressing
rapidly.
Good progress is being made in driving
the piles for the foundation of the Kinnear
& Brawley building. at the corner of Third
and Main streets.
Excavations for John Collins building,
corner of Second and James streets, are
near completed. The plans Of the build
ing have not yet been accepted, and are
being prepared by several architects who
were invited to compete for the work.

BURGLARS FAvoRITE RESORT.

Musical Instruments stolen From Mr..
Edwsrds' House-FormeP Attempts.
A sneak thief entered the residence J. @.
Edwards, at 1909 Third street, and stole
fine banjo and violin from the room of
w. II. Wilson last Thursday evening. The
bureau drawers were opened and their
contents examined, but nothing taken
from them. The banjo was fine instru-
ment, elegantly made and had the initials
wv. II. W." engraved on a gold plate. 1t
was valued at SIS and the violin at SIS.
Mr.. Wilson had a guitar in the room at
the time of the robbery, but it was not
touched. 1t is supposed that the thief en-
tered the front door with a latch key.
quietly walked up the carpeted stairs to
Mr.. Wilson's room, which was unlocked,
and helped himself
While investigating the above case . r.
porter learned the facts of two bold at
tempts that have been made to rob Mr..
Edwards within the past ten months.
Mrs. Edwards was SO ill that she was
attended night and day by nurse. Her
room was on the first floor, while her hus-
band had taken one above. One nj ght
Mrs. Edwards was suddenly awakened by
o strange feeling and noticed by the dim
light man standing at the foot of the bed
with a white cloth in his hands. Sne
touched the nurse, who lay on the bed,
and said:
What Is that man doing here?"
He did not stir and the nurse did not
hear her. She repeated the question more
loudly and the nurse jumped Up. The
burglar made rush ont through the
kitchen, and they supposed he had gone.
Mr.. Edwards was called and came down
stairs wirh his revolver. and went into the
kitchen to see what had been taken. I'm
expectedly he came upon the burglar, " no
had not gone out. There was a grand
rush for the back door, and Mr.. Edwards
SAYS he could have killed the man easily,
but let him of with two bullets close to
his body.
