CORDOvA-----SEV -R0NDA

From Granada we journeyed tel
Cordova, the trip of l54 miles taking
us some seven hours. This city was
captured by the Romans in l52 A. D.
and about $50 became the capital
of a Saracen caliphate. 1t was for all
time the metropolis of Moorish
Spain but was recaptured by the
christians in 1886. 1T now has al
population of $1,000.
a ride about the town discloses
some objects Of interest especially the
old Moorish bridge across the Guadal
culver. 1t has sixteen arches and is
100 feet long. 1t is built on Roman
foundations. The old Moorish mills
on the river also command attention
But the great sight at Cordova is the
ancient mosque, now the cathedral.
One has heard so much of the AL |
hambra and his expectations regard |
ing it are so high that when he
comes to see it he is not surprised to
find il beautiful, nay it may not
quite come up to his anticipations. |
But if ] had read about the mosque at
Cordova / had forgotten it and when
/ came to enter the building and
survey that finest of Moorish arches
was surprised beyond measure. 1t
was built about a thousand years ago, |
the largest mosque in the world eX-
cept that at Mecca. and some OF lJS
more holy compartments are marVelS
of decoration. Its ground plan or
some five hundred feet square gives it
an area about equal to that OF st.
Peters at Rome. 1t has nineteen
aiSleS and contains some eight hun
bred and fifty columns. In its in
closed square the Court of the
Oranges, with its beautiful orange
and palm trees and its fine fountains
with bright eyed peasant girls filling
their great stone water jars at the
huge old basins, thus adding to our
most delightful memories. This
space was formerly called the Court
of Additions, for publications held
prominent place in Mahometan Wor-
Ship. The bell tower of this great
building is three hundred feet inl
height and the structure as whole is
the largest and most noble monu-
ment of the religious architecture of
the Arabs Of Spain.
Seville, our next stopping place,
which has a population OF about a
hundred and fifty thousand, may be
called one of the beautiful cities OF
Europe. 1t is on the banks OF the
Granddaughter and though more than
fifty miles from the sea, vessels draw
ing sixteen feet of water can ascend to
its quays and the drive along the
banks of-the river is interesting. The
parks OF the city and its outlying
avenues are very beautiful, furnish
ing great variety of rides. Many
travellers spend long time at the city
in the enjoyment of it's charms. The

Possible sewerage sire.

A sale of interest is shown by an
agreement recorded for the sale of the
Amanda Whitnall property to Il. W..
Pruden and Others. The property con-
yeyed includes the bed of the old
Knights Pond, a race way leading
from the pond for about three quart
ers of mile TO the mill site in Han
over township. The acreage is about
forty. The property would be very
desirable for the purposes of sewerage
lying at the lowest elevation in Nor
ristown beyond the last house in the
corporate limits on Ridgedale avenue.
The race way would be very good
right of way for trunk sewer and the
sandy tract at the end of the old race
would make an almost ideal disposal
plant. Whether these considerations
have any part in the transfer is not
stated.

On Tuesday evening during the ban

the Indians, it is supposed, broke the
lock Of the door to Cincinnati Lodge

made for the miscreants, without
avail. Any information about the af-

ward. Unless the culprits are found
it is feared that the secret word will

In every important Spanish town
one sees a large circular building like
a locomotive 'roundh house. it is the
Bull Ring, the scene of the national
diversion. AS when we we're there
the season" was over We did not
( have to decide whether we should
patronize the so-called amusement.
But from all accounts one loses little
in missing it. The bull Is given no
more chance for his life than in the
slaughter house and as before the
final blow is given he is weakened till
he is trembling on his legs the bull
fighter incurs hardly more danger
than, the butcher in killing a steer.
While the opening procession around
the ring is somewhat brilliant the
alleged fight, which is in fact no fight
at all, is simply a disgusting butchery,
something which really involves no
hazard, which contains no element of

Sunday night by the burning of his COM
modious brick sale stables on John
street. The fire occurred about IL
O'Clock, but the origin is unknown. 1t
isisurmised. however,that as it seems to
have started midway of the hay loft,
it was due to the electric wires. Inthe
burning Mr.. Edwards lost three horses,
a number of buggies and other vehicles
and lots of feed stuff upon which there
was no insurance whatever, n on the
building itself, which is almost a com
plete wreck, there was but very little
insurance. There were our horses in
all burned, the fourth one belonging to
Mr.. Jos. Daniels, who has a store just
the street from the stables. The
fire department were promptly on the
scene, and did heroic work in quelling
the flames.
