Despite the secrecy which surrounds
the operations which are or were con-
templated at the Buttonwoods. there is
no doubt but that at one time it was
proposed to build a large plant at that
place. Benjamin Tuft a contractor Of
Salem, n. j.. was in the city yesterday
and said on several occasions he had Wis
tied the office Of a Philadelphia Arm on
Chestnut street and had discussed the
subject Of grading 2iOO yards Of land near
the Buttonwoods, but as no agreement
was reached and he had other large con-
tracts on hand he gave up the project and
since that time had heard nothing OF IT,.
Mr. Tuft at one time conducted a liv-
cry stable in this city and also had the
contract for grading for the plant OF the

work but moved every brick that was

STREETS OF MEXICO CITY.
a Tradition Attaches to the Names Of
Most Of Then.

A Tradition Attaches 20 the Names OF
Most of Them.
There Is a tradition attached to the
name of every street in Mexico, and
such names were given because some
p4ing occurred there or some noted OBJ
ject existed there. For instance, Don
Juan Manuel street received It's name
from the sanguinary Don Juan Manu-
el, who lived on that street and killed
scores of people there He was ex
tremely jealous and every night stool
at the corner or at the door OF his
house armed with a good Toledo
sword. If a man passed by and dared
TO look at the balconies of Don Juan
Manuel's house he might be sure that
he was to leave his skin before reach
ing the corner. Salto del Aqua Qeap of
the water) street received its name
from the fountain still visible on Salto
del Aqua square, which was the termi-
nus Of the great Chapultepec aqueduct,
and water was constantly falling into
a basin.
There are some very funny names
and others rather poetical. Here are
some peculiar ones:
Gale de las Ratas (street OF the rats,
del Ration (of the mousse, de las Mos
cas- (of the fieS). del Zapo (of the toad,
de los Ciegos (of the blind mem, del
Muerto (of the dead man, de la Ola

basket makers). de Ia Pelota (of th'

thousand marvels). de los EspantadOs
(of the panic stricken mem. del Toro

green cross). de los Gallos (of the
cocks). Verde (green) del Puente Blanco
fof the white BRIDGE. del Puente Colo

Carretones Olridge for carts), de Ia
POlilla (of the moth, del Aguila (of the
eagle). de las Golosas (of the glutton-

Many other streets were named aft
er the churches in the vicinity, Sc
there are Santo Domingo, Ia Profesa

pened. Very often church gave
names to three or more streets, for In
