Remaining the Streets.

The work Of remaining the streets and
numbering the houses will be COM
menced in few days. City Engineer
Dunlap is at present engaged on new
official map Of the city, which the new
names of the streets and avenues will
be inscribed. The owners of houses
which are not at present numbered, or
that are incorrectly mum bered according
to the new street plan will be furnished
with small tin sign, such as is now in
use, at the expense of the city Be-
tween 5000 and 5000 signs will be
needed and they will cost twelve and a
half cents piece. The new change
will make all thoroughfares running
east and west avenues, and all streets
running north and south viii be called
streets. Those running irregular will
be called roads or boulevards. The di-
vlding lines that will seperate the four
sections of the city will be the same as
heretofore, namely: Jefferson street
and Railroad avenue.

THE MATCHMAKING.
Work Being Pushed Forward
Very Rapidly.

Tho work of macadamiziDg the streets
is cling pushed forward more rapidly
than at any time since the work was
commenced. On Nelson street the heavy
rock cut was completed yesterday morn
ing and square of gutter on both sides
of the street was laid.
Church street will be finished in
about three or four days. Very solid
rock was also encountered on this street
between Lewis and Park, which caused
the work to be delayed there, but by
this evening it will have all been re-
moved and the macadam will be put on
and rolled speedily.
Other delays on Church street were
caused from breaks in the gas and water
mains and numerous soft places where
the mud oozed up.
Grading was commenced on Park
street, between Church and Campbell,
yesterday and by o'clock the square
was about completed.
Grading on Railroad avenue was fin
ished about one week ago and a small
quantity of macadam laid, but it has
not yet been rolled.
Macadam has been also been spread
on Commonwealth avenue from the
northern terminus to the corner o.:
Fifth avenue. A large portion Of it
has also been finished and accepted by
the city. The cutters on this street
and on Fifth avenue are completed.
A cave was discovered on Nelson
street, between Tazewell and Robert
son streets yesterday. A line with a
stone attached was lowered twenty We
feet, but it failed to touch bottom. The
opening on the street was four by six
feet and slanting. This is the third
cave that has been discovered on that
street.
