WORK OF DEMOLITION
"ToM CATS FLATS AND OTHER
OLD BUILDINGS CONDEMNED.

Georgetown is to lose "rom Cats Flats"
This peculiarly named building is located
at lOS3 31st street northwest and is occu-
pied by more than fifteen families as a
tenement house. According to Roy Haines,
inspector for the board Of condemnation Of
insanitary buildings. it has been found
guilty and sentenced to DEATH The work
OF tearing down this old landmark will be
commenced in few weeks and on its site
the owner, Louis Tophfenmier, proposes to
erect modern sanitary apartment house
which he declares will be a credit to the
vicinity.
For more than twenty years this fiat has
been a familiar object, and it became al
most as well known locally as the Francis
Scott Key mansion, which is only few
blocks west Of it. It was once nick-named
Tom Cats Flats" and that aristocratic
title has chung to 1t to the present time
What prompted such a name Inspector
Haines has not been able to determine, but
he suggested that some of the older resi-
dents Of West Washington If asked might
be able to answer the question.
Mr.. Haines announced today that Blag-
denis alley, which is located between 9th
and 10th streets and NJ and streets
northwest, and which is famed for many
saults, is to be practically wiped out by the
board Of condemnation. Already workmen
have begun to tear down sixteen ram
shackle frame dwellings which were found
to be too insanitary for human occupancy.
A half dozen other dwellings have been or
dered to be repaired and about ten others
will be condemned before the end of the
week.
when we are through with this alley
said Mr.. Haines today, lit will be hard to
recognize it as the one which once played
such an important part in police annals
1t was in this alley that Edward Grant, a
colored man, stabbed Eva Barnes, his
sweetheart, causing her DEATH and who was
hanged last November. Grant lived in the
alley, and his former home is among those
which are at present being demolished.
Within the last week the board of con-
demnation has also ordered the removal of
fourteen unsightly houses in Balls court,
which is between Massachusetts avenue and
G street and I'd and Sd streets northwest.
Fifteen buildings have been condemned In
Vans alley, which is snugly tucked away
between Sd and Az streets and L and M
streets southwest, the inhabitants of which
have always had difficulty In maintaining
law and order among themselves.
Mr.. Haines will next week direct his at
tention to Green's court which is situated
in "Foggy Bottom" and is bounded by 18th
and 9th streets and l and X streets north
west This place contains a number of In
sanitary and unsightly buildings, and Mr..
Haines believes that about dozen OF them
will disappear from the public eye before
he gets through with them.

Spending Vacation in Camp.

With the beginning of the Easter recess
at Gallaudet College, yesterday afternoon,
over forty of the boys OF the institution
left for Great Falls TO camp out until the
close of the holidays. For thirty-eight
years the student college at Kendall Green
have been camping in the neigh borhood of
Great Falls at the Easter season. The
stone quarry near the Conduit road has
been the faVorite camping spot, but this
year tents are located at Falls Point View,
some distance back of the old Falls Inn
which location is regarded as better by
those in charge of the outing. The luggage
including commissary stores, was hauled 10
the camp yesterday afternoon in three big
express wagons.
