PATERSQN'S BUILDING
The Plans Drawn and the Cost
to be $40, OOo-Senator
Smiths Secretary
Dead.

WASHINGTON, July IL, 1S95.-The
sketch plans for the new public build
ing at Paterson ave been roughly
drawn in the office of the Supervising
Architect. They will be submitted to
the criticism of that officer upon his re-
turn to the city. and after he has made
such alterations as he thinks necessary,
the full plans will be prepared and APP
proved by the board having these mat
ters in charge.
The building is to cost 10000. 1t will
be of the second class, but will be a
modern, capacious and fireproof struc-
ture. 1t has not yet been determined
out of what material it will be built, but
either stone or pressed brick Will be
used. If the latter. the fac1ngs Will be
of stone. In size it will be a parallelo-
gram, measuring about 100 or lbs feet by
70 or so feet. 1t will be probably three
stories in height, with an attractive
front. 1t is not probable. however, that
there will be a tower as the building
will hardly be tall enough to warrant
it.
{ TO BE THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED.
Every detail of the interior will be as
thorough as competent experts can make
it. There will be an equipment OF ele-
vators; the plumbing will be of the most
| modern character, and the finishing will
| be as handsome. In the building all the
Federal offices will be located-courts,
| postoffice, internal revenue ohces-in
fact, everything which relates to the
government will inc q home there.
It is said at the Supervising Architects
office that it may be two weeks or a
month before the sketch plans are finally
approved. In the meantime no appoint
ment of a superintendent of construc-
a well known architect of Paterson, is
being urged for the appointment, but. it
is understood that ex-RepresentaGye
Cadmus is expected here soon to give
personal attention to the progress OF
the work Upon the building.
JOHN A. HUTCHINSON DEAD.
John "A. H~utchinsons private secretary
to Senator Smith. was stricken with ap-
oplexy at his home in this city Wednes-
day. Mr.. Hutchinson, who is ABOUT forty
wears old, has become somewhat 1ndentl-
fed with New Jersey matters during the
past two years, and has come in contact
with all the New Jersey people who have
come here to see Senator Smith. He has
been a resident of Washington for a num-
Der of years, and has a family, with
whom he was living at the time he was
taken i'll.
MI. Hutchinson has been ailing for some
time and was confined to the house, but
his ~indisposition was not considered seri-
Gus till Wednesday morning, when ne
was suddenly Frustrated by a stroke of
apoplexy. DR.. Johnson, a ~neighborlng
physician, was hastily summoned. The
patient was finally restored to conscious,
ness. and at night he was pronounced
much better. though not out of danger.
His fatehr, who was absent in Indiana;
was summoned by telegraph, and reached
Washington yesterday.
Mr.. Hutchinson's attack ended fatally
Yesterday afternoon.

BATTLE WITH BURGLARS.
Citizens of Winstead, Conn.,, Pass a
Very Lively Night.

WINSTED, Conn.,, July u, 1S95.-The
town of Norfolk, ten miles west of here,
on the Philadelphia, Reading and New
England Railroad, was the scene of a
| battle this morning between burglars
and citizens.
Winthrop Cone conduct a general
store in a building in which the Nor
folk Postoffice is also located. Cones
store N residence are connected by
an electric burglar alarm. About one
O'Clock this morning Cone and his fam
lily We're aroused by the ringing of the
alarm, and Cone and Harry Tobey arm
ed themselves with Winchesters and
started for the store. They saw two
men IN guard in he highway and two
others inside the store.
Cone and Tobey exchanged shots with
the two men on guard and during the
fusilade the safe in the store exploded.
Cone, after firing his Winchester three
times without effect. levelled his gun
at one of the burglars ait short range
and pulled the trigger, but the re
fused ITO work. The reports of the shoot
ing brought other citizens to the scene,
and a total of fifteen shots was fired
but nobody was hurt.
After the two burglars in the store
had secured the booty from the wrecked
side, and the four made good their es-
cape. They secured $12. The explosion
of the safe badly demolished one por-
ton of THE store.
The four burglars were seen by Mr..
Cone in Norfolk yesterday. One had a
scar on his face, and was fairly well
dressed. At ten o'clock last night the
quartette stood in front of Johnson's
drug store watching Johnson putting
away some Silverware and jewelry. All
the towns in western Connecticut are
excited over the break and Norfolk pee
pie who saw the burglars say their de-
scriptions tally with those of the pris-
oners who escaped from Ludlow street
