New STRUoTUREs.-Some of the finest and
most complete DIV ellings in our city have just
been erected by J. Wireman, Esq, on Race
street, opposite Logan square. They consist of
ten splendid residences, each twenty-five by one
hundred and thirty feet, five located at the
corner of Eighteenth. and five at the
corner of Nineteenth street. They are on pro-
perty formerly owned by the Wills Hospital.
The dwellings, are of BRICK three stories in
height, with French or Mansard roofs The cor
ner houses are admirably arranged with view of
occupation by professional gentlemen. The
appointments from basement up to the fourth
floor are of the most elaborate and complete
kind, and will compare with any modern resi-
dence in our city. The plumbing work was
contracted for by H. H. Kelly, Esq, and
reflects great credit upon him. This is one of
the finest improvements in Philadelphia, and
adds greatly to the attractions of this section of
the city. The entire cost is estimated at about
$3.50, 600.

FIRE AND NARROW EsCAPE.-Early yesterday
morning a fire occurred in the grocery store of
west corner of Seventeenth and Carpenter
streets. The property, it seems, is also occu-
pied as dwelling by the Johnsons, who were
all asleep when the fire first broke out. The first
intimation they had of it was the awakening of
one of the sons. who, almost stiaed with the
smoke, and divining the cause Immediately,
awakened all hands and started to 60 down
stairs. This they found they could not accom-
plish: the dense volume of smoke beat them
back, and they were forced to escape by means
of the roof to an adjoining house, where, after
shiverng in the cold morning air for some time,
they were found by the inmates and taken in.

WIFE BEATERs.-William Baker is one OF
those low specimens of humanity whom nature
evidently designed to create brutes. Yesterday
morning William was arrested at his residence,
Rachel street, above Brown, whilst attempting
to correct his wife with a slung-shot. Alderman
Cahill held him in 1890 bail to answer
James Carr is an animal of the same species.
James resides at No. 1910 Wood street. He, on
Saturday night, was seized with sudden whim
that his wife was beast of burden, and COM
menced to berate her accordingly. Whisky was
at the bottom of it, and James, too. Alderman
Massey held him in $500 bail TO answer.

Un complaint of the Deputy Collector of the

Biddle issued warrant last week for the arrest
of Susan A. Smith, practicing physician of
West Philadelphia, upon the charge OF not hav-
ing paid the special tax provided for by the In
ternal Revenue laws. The warrant was placed
In the hands of one of the United States Deputy
Marshals, who was directed to invite the lady to

pear at the time specified, but falling to do SO
the officer this morning waited upon her, and
