"DcviI's Row" Passed Away.

The row of frame shanties near Fish
town, for many years known as Devils Row.
Inns been pulled down to make room for better
buildings. The last one disappeared this morning.
The occupants of the shanties have sought refuge
in the booths on Fishtown. For long time these
shantics were inhabited by the lowest class of ne
gro criminals, who caused great deal of trouble
TO the police authorities At one time they were
used rs negro dance houses, and visitors could be
furnished with anything they desired, fiom black
eye to a cracked skull. A FIRE came and scat.
tered the occupants Only being partially de.
stroyed, the houses were patched up and occupied
again. Another fire came and totally destroyed al
but four. For several years past the four remain.
ing houses have been conspicuous only for tn,
miserable condition Of their occupants.-Ah1Ui
