BUILDING CONDEMNED
House at 7 Ascension Street
Must Be Torn Down or Repaired

Superintendent of Public Buildings
Charles H. Peck has condemned the
building at Ascension street and no.
titled the owners that the building must
be torn down or repaired at once. The
building is two story and a half
wooden structure owned by the Adams
Shore Land Co.. of Boston. It was for
merly occupied by four families, but has
been without tenant for several
month. The building has begun to
show the marks of time, and when the
tenants moved out the youngsters did
the rest. A part of the underpinning has
fallen in and shaky pier at one cor
ner is all that supports the structure.
Mr.. Peck sent a man to the building
yesterday morning and had the struc-
ture prOpped up so that there is no i'm
mediate danger of a collapse. Mean
while he is waiting to hear from the
owners.

City Council Members viii
Choose Their Offices

There will be run together of dem
ocratic members-elect of the city coun-
Gil for 1900 in the office of Philip j.
O'Connell, Walker building, tomorrow
afternoon. The men who are invited
to the meeting say it should in no way
be considered caucus but rather an
informal meeting for consultation on
various subjects pertaining to next
years organization. Alderman O'Con-
nell and Councilman O'Leary are can
didates for reelection to the finance
committee, and they will doubtless be
returned. Councilman Connolly will
probably receive the appointment as
the representative of the democracy in
the board of city hospital trustees, to
succeed Councilman Mcmahon.

PLAIN CASE OF HORSE SENSE.
Some of the Things Jim Key Is Doing at
the Exposition.

Philadelphia, Nov. 14.-There is al
exceedingly clever actor at the Export
exposition. In every sense of the word
he is the whole show" for, while he
goes through one-act play. he takes
all the interesting parts himself He
doesn't say a word, and yet his acting
is so lifelike and clever that IL secures
applause every few minutes. This
clever actor is known as Beautiful
Jim Key. and he is a dark bay, we'll
groomed horse. right from Tennessee.
Some of the things Jim does are lit
tie short OF marvellous. He bows TO
the audience as he comes on the
stage, and then opens school by going
to n closed box, opening II with his
mouth and taking out a brass bell,
ringing 1t around the stage. Then he
picks out any letter OF the alphabet
the audience calls for. The letters are
printed on cards and are arranged on
a sort OF frame. Tim does not make
a single mistake in his work, and even
pulls out the queen OF spades and
other playing cards when asked for by
the audience. He added and subtract
ed and multiplied. and then wrote his
name on a blackboard.
Jim's writing is bad; there can I've
no doubt about this: but 1t is as good
as that of some prominent people. and
legible to those who are used to read
ing famous mems chirogaphy.
The second part Is where Jim shows
his wonderful ability at arithmetic
and the manner In which he makes
change with a cash register is marvel
Gus. Then Jim takes silver dollar
from the bottom OF a glass bucket
without drinking a drop of the fluid
tells colors. rings up the telephone and
performs other feats which bring him
great applause.
