The companies sustaining losses of $15,000 or over, according to the prepare.l list, were the follow- ing: win advance money to these people m notes maturing in one or two years. About two hundred and fifty families have been made homeless by the fire. Nearly all of them have be*»n taken in by l^ighbors, and, al- though they are put to great inconvenience, there is no actual want. AN AIR of "HUSTLE." In fa.-t. a general air if "hurtle" prevails In the streets of the burned district. It se^ma that the ruin and disaster of Sunday momlnnH fire is not the principal thought which fx-cuplcs the minds of property owners who have r»-» n hard hit; they seem rathpr to n» c mesnwd a.t>out whether or not they can replace their buildlaaTl within a reasonable time. Ka terday gave out a contract which stipulated that If their new building was not finished with- in sixty days the balldera should pay damages at the rate of $500 a day. <">n the ot!.er hand, they bound themselves to pay a bonus of 1290 a day for every twenry-four hours nave.i within the sixty day limit.

The safes of the banks are about the only onea thus far opened whose contents are in good condition. Benjamin Kent, whose drug store, at No. 159 Main-st.. was destroyed, was more fortunate. He found his safe In good condition. Mr. Kent lost 120.000, and was In- sured for H6,00a The night before the fire he had moved in $1,800 worth of new stock. Ex-Attorney General Gn^gs lost a library which he had been collecting for nearly thirty years. Scarcely a prominent lawyer in town has as much as a law book. Mr. Griggs. in the temporary quarters of the Paterson National Bank, of which he Is president, said: "There is money enough among the banks here to rebuild the whole of Paterscn. Within a month our people will have risen above this calamity. We will rot have to accept a cent from the outside." It was discovered to-day that the books and records in the vault under the tower in the City Hall were safe. Among these papers are the stubs of tax receipts, and they will play an important part In straightening out the tangle arising: from the loss of -he Tax Receiver's books. The due and unpaid taxes on the Re- ceiver's books amounted to about $2,500,000. and it was at first thought that the whole of Fthls sum. unless some way could be devised by the legislature to compel all property owners to show their tax receipts or prove the loss of such receipts, would be lost. It appears now, however, that the papers saved from the City Hall and those on record in the County Clerk's office may be pieced together, and make a tol- erably complete record, showing the taxes that remain unpaid. DATE BACK TO 1592. The taxes due and unpaid from 1573 to 1892 have been adjusted by the Martin act com- missioners, and the reports of these commis- sioners are on record in the County Clerk's of- fice. The stubs of tax receipts found In the vault In the City Hall to-day are said to date back almost to 1892, and If they are all found they \u25a0will show who have paid their taxes nines that year. Chester D. Ely, Tax Receiver, aaya that h» haa a personal recollection of about $250,000 taxes \u25a0which are not paid.

Feb. 11.— Secretary Root has ap- provetl the recommendations of the Army Post Board, headed by Lieutenant General Miles, and which Included in its membership all the highest ranking officers of the regular establishment now in the United States. The board proceeded on th«» assumption that a standing force of fifty thousand men was to be most advantageously distributed to aw the present and future needs of the service, and has therefore provided that there shall be great concentrations near the chief railway centres from which the surrounding country may be drawn upon for recruits and supplies, an 1 the forces moat readily transported to sc-enes of action. Most of the old frontier garrisons which were made neces- sary by Indian uprisings years ago. having outlived their usefulness, will be no longer improved, but Congress will be expected to provide liberal appro- priations for quart, at the new posts now recom- mended.

With the enlargement of Governor's Isl- and by the reclamation of the shoal to the south, which should be completed in a few years, the board proposes that a new post, with an Infantry regi- ment as garrison, shall be erected there.

It Is the great event at the year, and c ' many years, to the Patsrson, peo- ple. It aeenis that every man. woman and child for fifteen miles around has been here to Gee the bif-ck, spectrelike ruins. And truly, the burned district has a certain welrdness about 'Jt that holds the raze. Ehiveringr with a wind thai respects the thickness of no overcoat, thou- sands of people have walked for hours through the ruined district— those streets which are fcedged in by militia — watching gangs of men tumble weak walls over and other gangs borrow under heated brictfa for safes and valua- bles. The soldiers strictly adhered to their or- ders regarding the close inspection of passes. Falling: bricks made this Imperative. The burned district Is exclusively under the control of the military to-night, and passes from the Mayor, Sheriff or Chief of Police are sot recognized by the national guardsmen. Only these countersigned by Captain Ross, who Is In command cf the battalion, are good. This changed condition went, into operation at 7:30 o'clock to-night, and before 8 o'clock Sheriff etarr. Chief of Police Graul and City Controller Donahue were arrested by a sentry as they •were trying to pass through the Hires. The city ofil- dils had failed to secure military passes for themselves, and they found themselves In a tight place. The sentry had called the corporal of the guard, and they were about to be \u25a0arched up to the armory when Colonel Camp- bell and Cclenel Parker came along and secured their release. They were passed through the The most interesting feature of th» day to those who have the future welfare of the city at heart was the number of contracts let for the construction of new buildings on the site of the rains. There Is prevalent a sturdy optimism among all classes which finds steady encourage- ment from reports of contracts let. Every one argues with prMe that Paterson cannot be downed; that it has affluence enough to push past Its sifter rities and Invested wealth enough to increase tenfold Its ration as a thriving, energetic, prosperous commercial city. The crowds were thickest this afternoon 5n front of the new City Hall, at Market and Hamilton sts.. which was destroyed. They stood there tor several hours watching workmen pull- Ing down the front and east wall of the Pater- M National Bank building, a five story brick structure, which looked i good deal like a charred coal grate turned upside down. The front rail of the structure when jerked over by horses made enough noise to please every a^al •<=--\u25a0\u25a0 Nor was any one disappointed when the last wall finally dropped. The first cable Fr.app««J after making the wall sway a bit. but the tecond cable was of wire and did the Job thoroughly. Curiously enough when the dust cleared a small safe was seen at the second story above a corner window. SMALL AMOUNT OF SALVAGE. It !* generally conceded that there will be only a small amount of salvage worth carting away from the ruined blocks. The fire was so Intense, the heat so powerful, that unprotected iron pil- lars could not withstand the strain. A score of iron safes dug up to-day from under piles of brick when opened were found to be anything but fireproof. One man's safe dropped upon a bunker of coal in the cellar. The coal took fire and is still burning. The own- er having seen the interior of other safes which had been dug out has little hope of saving his valuables which are locked up therein. When «-Judge Frank Van Cleve opened his safe In the Romaine building to-day he found his papers In ashes. Seventy-five wills and several hundred thousand dollars' worth of municipal and water company bonds had been destroyed. -< These financial bonds can be restored by hold- ••* giving refunding bond* to the corporations issuing them.

The Southern Pacific Company had announced such a rate some ttme» ago. The Merchants' Association prepared a circular setting forth the rates over the Southern Pacific, five thou- sand copies of which were sent throughout the State of Texas. One in the vicinity of Chickamauga Park. Geor- gia. One at Fort Rlley. Kansas. One In the Conawago Valley, in Lebanon.

Three-fourths of the electric lights are In operation to-night, and William M. Brock, man- ager of the Edison plant, says that all the electric lights in the city will be in use again to-morrow except in the burned district- It will take perhaps a week to erect the poles and string the wirea In this district. BUILDERS AND ARCHITECTS BUST. Every local builder and architect was busy with orders for the reconstruction of buildings. One architect reported that he had received so many applications from property owners that he thought he might be compelled to send to neighboring towns for draughtsmen and design- ers. New- York builders, architects, furniture dealers and furnishers of construction material yesterday sent representatives here to solicit orders. The morning trains from New-York were crowded with business men, many of whom were adjusters of insurance firms. Nearly every firm whose property was de- stroyed is planning immediate reconstruction. Many of the new buildings will be of a better type than those which were burned. The Alfred S. Allen estate, Nos. 131 and 133 Market-st., will build again. The Citizens' Trust Company has just bought the property at Elli- son and Main sta., and will build there. Two partially constructed buildings adjoining the Second National Bank, in Market-st.. the two upper stcries of which were badly damaged, are owned by the bank. They will be torn down at once and replaced by new structures. H. Muzzy & Co., wholesale and retail hard- ware dealers, which house adjoins the Boston Store, in Main-st.. will be rebuilt. They had Just moved Into a new building. The Romaln* Block, at Hamilton and Ellison sts.. belonging to the Romaine estate; the King estate, at Hotel and Market st*., the Dunn property adjoining and the Hopper estate will at once have plans drawn up for new buildings. This section of Mayor Hmchliffe replied that the i it: was taking care of its own sufferers, iind added: "We hope to build up a larger and better Pater- Very few people have applied to the relief committee for food.

Caa I !\u25a0>»* of *ny a-s- slsta:. boring man who wants work in Paterson caa have it. Gangs of men are everywhere to be seen in the burned district adjusting wires, and clearing away debris. The streets are remark- ably clear of rubbish. Hardly a stick of wood can be found in the ruins, which fact provaa the fierceness of the blaze. The Beard of Aldermen held a special meeting to-night and decided that no frame strujtures would be permitted in the burned district. Many property owners want to erect temporary wood- en structures to carry on their business until permanent buildings can be constructed. A wooden building was started to-day at Straight - st. and Sixteenth-aye., and Park Commissioner Hugo Hunser sent in an application to the al- dermen to-night for permission to put up a temporary building in Market-st. This applica- tion was refused, and the building inspector was ordered to tear down the partly ererted struc- ture at Straight-st. and Sixteenth-av-. At first sight this looks like a hardship, as the burned out storekeepers cannot find empty stores enough in the centre of the city to ac- commodate them, but the aldermen argued that it was ne<-<;ssary to use stringent measures to prevent the city from looking like a "boom town." Business men want to put up tempo- rary quarters, hut it is claimed that once these wooden structures are up they will remain tor years and disfigure the city. The aldermen were unanimous in their action to-night, and nothing but brick or stone buildings will appear in place of the destroyed buildings. Messages of sympathy and offers of .aid con- tinue to flow in on the Mayor, but he court-ou«- ly refuses al". outside assistance.
