lettering Structure.

New York, Dec 1f.--Seven families were
ordered TO vacate house on Warren
street and Railroad avenue because IL Is
in danger OF collspsins. Among the oc'
cupants was Mrs. Joanna Moran, who say
the house built and was its first tenant
There is yet measure of strength in her
old body, bent as It Is by the weight OF
more than a century.
The walls OF the house were weakened
by the march o.: progress. for they were
still sound when the Pennsylvania en-
bankment was built alongside. The
strength OF Mrs. Moran has been sapped
by a poverty SO absolute as to l almost
beyond description. but the woman has
shown more endurance than the house In
which she has lived for over three score
years. Flesh and blood conquered stone
and mortar in the contest for survival.
For almost 20 years Mrs. Moran has seen
nothing OF the world. being content 20 re-
main within her dingy room and receive
such friends and church workers as have
visited her. In a room across the nail
lives Mrs. Agnes Bright. who is over 20.

ment Realizing. when the railroad was
built, that the house would have 70 go,

tenement shudders as the trains go grind

NO PLACE TO GO.
In addition to the two old women, who
occupy rooms on the top floor, there are
fve other families in the building. ON
the ground floor Is poor woman with
eight children, including baby not

The notification 20 leave given by the
police met with a storm OF protest. The
! fact that their lives were menaced as
long as they lived In the place had ap-
parently no significance to the tenants
