the Pacific coast, have gone already as far
as the old Spanish preside of JauOs. which
is in the midst of the wild Sierra Madre of

North America, but evidently the seat of
an ancient civilization of which no authen-

sion OF dwellings were encountered tretch-
ing along for miles, and being built up in
terrace form, one above the other. with
solid masonry unlike the crude and pigmy-
like cliff-dwellers of Arizona and New
Mexico. These dwellings had more the an
pearance of regular streets, being built
above each other on the shelving declivity
of the canyon. and being difficult Of access.
as 1t it had beon doGe for purposes of de-
Tense against powerful enemies. The build
ings have their front walls constructed of
hewn stones carefully cemented, while the
rear portions are built into the sides of the
canyon. All of these ruins are in a re-
markable state of preservation, SO much so
that they deserve moro the name of abau-
doned dwellings than of ruins.
After this canyon is pas ed and the omen

symmetrical proportions is reached, on the
summit Of which the ruins of a gigantic
stone structure are encountered. the an
pearance Of which indicates that it was

portion of these ruins consists of a very
hard concrete. At the foot of this noun

structures, plainly showing tine existence in

By the Employees of a Feather Bed
Renovating Establishment.
r. K. Bedel, who has been running a
feather bed renovator at No. 0 Bryan
street for the past few weeks, left the city
Thursday night on the 500 Central train
and has not been heard from since. About
two weeks ago he had some trouble with
his men and refused to pay them off, claim
ing that at the time he was hard up and
did not have the funds
The mon waited long enough for him,
and then took lien for 1872 When they
were apprised of the course that Bedell had
taken, they had the renovating machine at
teched, and he was not allowed to interfere
further with it. The proprietors Of his
boarding house got wind Of what was
going on and tried to collect their board
bill, which was ga. Bedell told them that
he would settle the bill in few days. and
gave them an order on Justice Patterson
for 81. While the boy was gone TO collect
the money on the order, the "featherbed
man made his exit. A warrant was imme-
diately issued for his arrest, charging him
with cheating and swindling.
Bedel was not arrested, however, and he
made his escape by the Atlanta train His
washerwoman was the last party to bring
UP bill against him, and when she was
kold that he was out of the way and she
would lose the account, she thought he

There were three demands for trial made
by as many defendants in the Superior

very hard, owing to the birds fiving into

REMEMBERING THE HOUSES.
The Work to be Completed Early
Next Month,

The work Of REMEMBERING the houses is
progressing favorabIy, and Alderman
Thomas, chairman of the Committee on
Streets and Lanes, in an interview with a
MORNING NEWS reporter yesterday, said
that he expects the canvass by Mr.. Gignil-
lat will be completed within two or three
weeks, and the numbering ought not TO be
far behind, portion Of it being now under
way
The plan Of numbering is TO give a num-
Der to each 30 feet front lot on streets
running east and west; going north and
south, two numbers to each lot till CASTOR
street is reached. South of CASTOR street
1t was thought best TO adhere to the 50 foot
plan in all the streets running north and
south, and east and west, using multlDles Of
30. Between East Broad and Lincoln streets
there are four lots TO a block, or eight NUM-
bers TO block. From Lincoln to jefferson
there are five lots to a block, and conse-
quently ten numbers to block.
The boundaries between East Broad and
West Broad have been preserved the num-
boring beginning at East Broad with No.
on the south side of streets running west
and even numbers opposite. This brings
the numbers 10 correspond on parallel
streets, az, for instance, the residence of
Capt w. w. Gordon, on the northeast cor
ner OF Bull and South Broad streets, and
fronting south, is Ia South Broad, and the
residence of Mrs. Elizabeth H. Mills, north
east corner of Bull and Liberty streets,
fronting south, is l24 Liberty street, and all
northeast corners, fronting south, are mum
bered l24 of that street upon which they
front, so that the number Of any residence
serves TO locate about what part of the city
it is in. The streets running north and
south take their unit numbers from the
northern termini, odd numbers on the west
side and even opposite, and numbering
southwark. The park lots are laid out to
front the park, and are not uniform with
the rest.
The system of figures is dropped on the
following streets and letters are employees:
West Broad north of River street and
Broughton, President and South Broad
streets, east Of East Broad street.

w. j. Smith to Go to the Mines for
Completely in the Berg Burglary.
w. j. Smith (colored), who was arrested
for completely in the Berg burglary, was
tried in the Superior Court yesterday, and
was found guilty and sentenced to four
years in the penitentiary.
Smith was indicted by the grand jury
under three counts-for burglary, for lar
ceny from the house of goods of the value
of over $50, and for receiving stolen goods,
knowing them to have been stolen. He was
convicted under the last count.
Smith was implicated with two white
men, Archer and Johnson, who broke into
Berg's store, at the foot of Bull street, a
couple of months ago, and it was believed
that he had hand in the robbery. He
claimed, however, to have bought
the goods which were afterward found
in his possession and which were identified
by Mr.. Berg. His stories did not hang to-
gether well and he was cor victed, princi-
paliy upon the testimony of Detective
Wetherborn, of having the goods in his
possession, knowing them to have been
stolen. Smith was defended by w. p. La
Roche, ESQ, and w. W. Fraser, Esq, was
