NEW FORD STRUCTURE AT TENTH
AND MARKET STREETS RE-
PORTED UNSAFE.
The new Ford building in the course
of erection at Tenth and Market
streets, has created considerable at
fraction from the fact that it was re-
ported TO be settling.
This morning Building Inspector
Cassidy looked over the structure and
found that the arch over the window
on Tenth street, nearest Market, had
nattened out considerably owing to the
weight upon it. and that the corner OF
the building at Tenth and Market
streets had bulged out Of line about
half an inch. The second floor win
dows are also out of plumb. and the
Tenth and shipley streets corner had
settled.
Although the inspector does not con-
slider the building in a dangerous con-
dition, it was decided to erect two
stone piers from the base Of the win
dow TO the bottom of the arch, which

THE DEADLOCK HOLDS.

City Council met last evening, took
one ballot for city officers, failed to
elect, and proceeded to transact public
business That was the propert thing
70 do. A succession Of fruitless ball
lots is waste OF time. The deadlock
Is complete. There is no immediate
prospect that it viii be broken. Six Of
the Democratic members have named
q ticket to the support of which they
feel that they are morally bound. Four
other Democratic members are positive
in their statement that they will never
vote for that ticket. We believe that
they mean what they say. AS for the
three Republicans-well, it is not q
nght OF theirs. anyhow. They are spec
tators.
Meanwhile the incumbents of the
several Offices in controversy sit back,
smile at the impotency of the Demo
cratic majority, do their work and
draw their salaries. For them it Will
be good thing If the deadlock il
