LOST PLANS DELAYED
THE EMMETT PARK WORK.
Driveway VIII he Started This
Morning, However.

Morning, However.
Because the plans for the improve
ment of Emmett Park could not be
found Saturday, the stalking off of the
driveway through the park had to be
postponed The plans. which lwere
only misplaced, have been found and
the work will be started this morning.
The second set of plans drawn, pro-
vide for a roadway that will not in
terfere with the trees in the park, and
have been adopted by the city. The
driveway after entering the park at
either end will run parallel to and
twenty-five feet from the retaining
wall on the northern side of the park
Between the driveway and the retain
ing wall, will be walk eight feet wide.
Between this eight foot walk and
the retaining wall there will be a
grass plat with cross walks to each of
the entrances to the offices. The lay
ing out of the driveway and the walks
is all the work contemplated by the
city at present, though the park will
be further improved early next year.
A special appropriation will probably
be made by Council for this purpose.
The force in the city engineers office
will first lay out the lines for the
ROAD ana walks, ana as soon as the
lines are staked off the laying of the
curbing will be begun by the director
of public works. The work will only
take a short time, it is thought, as all
the curb stones are already on the
ground.
The first set of plans drawn for the
improvement of the park had the drive
way next to the retaining wall on the
northern side of the park, but 1t was
found that this plan would necessitate
the cutting down of many of the pref
test trees. For this reason it was
abandoned and a driveway, twenty
five feet south of the retaining wall
was decided upon.

BRAVE IN FACE OF DEATH.
The Thrilling Grand stand Play OF q
Famous Bul1-Fighter in n
Spanish Arena.

One Of the most thrilling incidents
ever witnessed in the arena is recalled
by the recent feat Of the Spanish tore
ador Reverte. 1t occurred at Bayonne,
says an exchange. After disposing of
two bulls Reverte had twice plunged his
sword into third, of great strength and
ferocity, and as the beast continued ca
reening wildly the spectators began to
hiss Reverte for bungling. Wounded to
the very quick Of his pride, the Spaniard
shouted: ''The bull is slain!" and,
throwing aside his sword, sank on one
knee with folded arms in the middle of
the ring. He was right. but he had not
allowed for the margin of accident.
The wounded beast charged full upon
him, but the matador, splendid to the
last, knelt motionless as a statue, while
the spectators held their breath in hor-
r.Ged su pense. Reaching his victim,
the bull literally bounded at him, and
as he sprang he sank in death, with his
last effort giving one fearful lunge of
the head that drove a horn into the
thigh of the kneeling man and laid bare
the bone from the knee to the joint. Still
Reverte never flinched, but remained
lkneeling, exultant in victory, but calm
ly .contemptuous of applause, till he was
carried away to heal him of his griev-
GUS wound.

GAINING A LIVING IN ITALY.
Number of Female Teachers Increas-
ing-Three Quarters as Many
Priests as I'm 1882.

; The Italian government has pub
lished some interesting figures relative
to the modes of gaining living in Italy.
Recording to these statistics, the great
est number of persons are devoted to
teaching. In 1882 there were 32,90S
male tutors. while now there are "a ,346;
the number of women teachers in 1882
was 46,SS7. and now 62,643, showing that
female teachers are on the increase. In
the medical profession the increase is
in men-there are now %, 139 male ply
sicians, as against 1884 in 1882, and
the women 20 against two of the same
date; while the lawyers number 24,196,
against 20,353.
/, There is notable increase in the
number of monks and nuns. In 1882,
they were 2S,172, while they are now
40,251. On the other hand, the priests
are somewhat fewer, having decreased
from 84.S34 to 1884.

Patent Drop for Wagon Gear.

Aaron Croft, a Quarryville car
riage builder, has invented and Sc
cured a patent on drop for d
wagon. The invention consists of
the combination of an axle, a reach, ,
front and rear rests connected to
the axle, and companion holsters
supported by means of said rests
arranged upon opposite sides of a
plane passed vertically through
and projecting below the axle.
BY having the rests below, the
wheels may be of comparatively
larger diameter and the body OF
the wagon may be low down, which
is of advantage, as it is not. neces
sary to provide a drop in the axle,
the latter being straight and rein
forced by a truss brace. The in
ventor has received offers from
Philada. and Detroit firms for the
patent right of his new device.
