TIE GRAND RAT RATTLE
This morning, at O'Clock, Mr.. Laffertv had
leo laborers at the market, and under his direc-
ton they pitched into the dead wood of the old
sheds, and before noon those temporary struc-
lures were levelled to the ground. As this work
was going on, the million OF rats who have held
sway for years were dislodged, and the scene
was an exciting one, as many persons were on
hand with their terriers to Join in the hunt.
Now and then drove OF rats would make for the
Avenue, when an excited crowd would scatter
them, and the dogs would go for the rodents,
making the fur fly. One terrier alone laid out
90 In the Avenue, between It'll and 9Th streets
and competent judges estimate that fully 1 900
were made to bite the dust.
