STREET NOMENCLATURE.
Radical Changes Which Will BE Recon-
mended by City Engineer Brown.

City Engineer Brown is wrestling with
the problem Of the streets. North of st.
Clair street there is absolutely no regular
lily in the streets whatever. There are a
number Of little short streets that run for
few blocks under one name, and then,
with a slight Offset. are known by other
names The plan is 10 number these streets
uniformly from east to west, extending
their fun length. To do this will require
changing the name Of nearly every erect
north of St. Clair. The streets will take
numbers instead Of names of persons or
places, the numbering 10 begin with Pratt
street, which will be known as Mir =, IL
being the ninth street north of Washing
ton. The changes VIII be prepared ior Ib-
ing: Pratt, Gregg, Vine and John streets
Will make Ninth street; First and Cherry
streets and Clifford avenue will be Tenth
street; Huntington, Second and Morrison
streets and Christian avenue will be EfeV-
enth street. Mayhem Third, a part of Sec
ond and Butler streets will be Twelfth
street; Fourth street and Home avenue will
be Thirteenth street: Fifth street and Lin
coin avenue will be Fourteenth street: Sixth
will be Fifteenth street; Seventh will be
teenth street: Ninth and a small part OF
Tenth, west OF the Big Four tracks, Will
be Eighteenth street: Herbert street and
a portion of Tenth street further east than
that west of the Big Four tracks and to
the north of il will be Nineteenth street;
Twelfth will be Twentieth street. This is
far as the city engineer has now pro-
ceeded, but the streets to the north of
Twelfth will be changed in accordance with
the general plans Arch street and a few
blocks will be named independently OF the
numbering

CANDIDATES ARE SCARCE.
Democrats Very Shy About Asking for
Places OH the County Ticket.

Candidates for nomination on the Demo-
cratic county ticket are about as scarce
as hens teeth at this time, and it is not
often that one hears any persona name
mentioned in that connection. The general
expression is that such and such a person
would accept such and such a nomna ton
If it were rendered him. There are no cam
didates, in the strict sense of the term, but
there are a few persons who would permit
themselves to be Offered up as sacrifices
For the office of prosecuting attorney there
has been considerable uncertainty as to
whose name would appear under the
rooster John Healing has, for several
years past, been standing candidate, but
it is likely that this year, when the likeli-
hood of success is very small. ne will not
permit his name to go before the conven-
ton. The friends of John Rockford are
trying to boost him into the nomination
and it is exceedingly likely they will sue
coed, as it seems that all that will be nee
essary to secure a nomination this year is
an intimation that ii would be accepted
if rendered. Rockford is a partner of Dep
uty Prosecutor Charles Cox, and the latter
has said he would not accept the nomna ton
under any circumstances and was not a
candidate for the office

1T WASN'T DYNAMITE
A MYSTERIOUS TIN box sTIRS UP
FEDERAL EMPLOYEES.
Quite n FURRY Over Its Discovery In
the District Attorneys Office
A Chemist Called In.

A great, dark cloud of mystery hung over
the federal building for two hours and a
half yesterday afternoon. For an hour the
attaches of the government offices con-
versed in subdued whispers; the wheels OF
the government almost ceased TO grind
and the elevator man forget to answer the
bell. All this ominous and dread hush was
occasioned by the natural curiosity or
stenographer. Between and O'Clock the
versatile young woman who presides over
the type machine in the office of the dis
trict attorney became convinced that dull
care was dragging all too heavy for her.
She concluded to brighten her environments
by an exploration into the recesses or an
old and curiously constructed desk that
has for some months stood IN a dark room
adjacent to the office of the district attor-
ney. With all the tenacity and unfiagging
industry of woman whose curiosity has
been aroused, she went at the work. In
secret drawer of the desk she found her
reward in the form of a peculiarly shaped
box of small dimensions. The mysterious
looking box was APPARENTLY constructed of
tin. and was about the size of an ordinary
pill box. One of the men in the office at
tempted to open the affair. but the lid
stubbornly refused TO lift, and an investi-
CATION disclosed the fact that il was tightly
sealed. All sorts of theories were advanced
by the federal employees as TO what the box
contained. and one of the less venturesome
suggested that the girl return the thing
to the desk where she had found il. it
might be dangerous to tamper with it. Her
curiosity Overp0wered her fear, however,
and she began with a vim the task of open
succeeded in cutting away the lid, which
disclosed a smaller box similar TO the outer
one BY the time three of these boxes We're
removed, the half dozen men who watched
the proceedings began TO wonder IL there
wasn't deadly explosive secreted some
where in the oddly-conStructed contriv-
arce, and for the next half hour these gen.
tlemen religiOusly avoided the vicinity. At
length the girl removed seven boxes and
had reached the end OF her task. The
smaller and last box lay in her hand, a
harmless looking little thing, and she was
for a time undecided whether or not TO go
on. Finally she drew off the lid. Instead
of dynamite, a half ounce of a fine white
powder streaked with yellow visible.
The young woman was not satisfied until
she had carried the powder to a chemist,
who made examination of the substance,
and decided that it was largely composed
of chlorate of potash and that IL was ex-
plosive. No one around the federal build
ing has yet cared TO investigate the
curious find, but ii is not believed that a
plot TO destroy the building has been I'M
earthed.

and Attempting to Rob Peter O'Hara.

Sutton Barnett and Joseph Russell, two
well-known tough characters, were arrest

Barnett and Russell hurriedly searched
his pockets. No valuables were found, how
ever. The two then started to run away,
but were captured by employees in the lum-
Der yard, who saw the act and pursued

fer her to do but apply TO the police for
aid
