Conflict ofRntn

Joseph G. Marsh, clerk in John T.
Dickey's clothing store, has a pet rat
which he reared from infancy. Now Mr.
Marsh's prediction for rats has been
equal to THAI which many ladies', in high
society, entertain for pug dogs. He
would keep it in his room. and tend it as
affectionately as a mother hen would her
young chickens. But the rat was lonely all
day long, and Mr.. Marsh formed the bril-
liant idea of bringing it with him to the
store Yesterday he had it removed there,
built house for it in the cellar, and
left it to enjoy substan-
tial meal of bread and cheese
Unfortunately there are other rats in
Mr.. Dickey's cellar, who envied it in its
snug quarters, and coveted the bread
and cheese, and they determined to in
wade the citadel of the pet rat. Acting
on a common impulse they made the
attack, captured the citadel and worried
and abused Mr. Marsh's pet. TIE screams
of the latter made those in the store
think all the rats in Wilmington were
holding high carnival in the cellar, and
they rushed down stairs, to fnd the torn
and bleeding rat almost dead from the
abuse it had received. Never did an affec.
tionate mother lift her bruised and
bleeding infant, with more tenderness
and bandaRe its wounds with greater
care than did Mr. Marsh, those of the
wounded and bleeding rat. He utters
dark threats of vengeance against all
the rats in Mr.. Dickey's cellar. and
swears he will never rest until he has
his revenge.

NINTH WARD EXCITED.
Another Mad Doc Spreads Terror Along
niarkeL saroet.

A hound deg owned by Police Officer
Taylor of Eighth aud Buttonwood streets
broke loose early yesterday afternoon
and created alarm and excitement as it
ran through the streets. It's Jaws were
dropping and its lips were blue. The
deg was undoubtedly mad. It's owner
knew this and had gone after his gun
TO shoot the animal when II escaped.
The rabid animal bit several dogs and
then ran across the Market street bridge
ON the Brandywine, and rushed up
Market street. At Jesse Wiltbanks
cigar store above Eighteenth street. it
darted for the proprietor, but he escaped
bite by jumping on the counter. Lesv-
ing Wiltbenk's the dog continued stop
ping in Elliott's cigar store; Dorseys
hardware store, and George w. Palmers
shoe store at No. 1904 Market street.
The excitement was increased by Robert
Stockley, who rode by on horseback,
screaming, Mad dog Mad dogp
In the shoe-store young woman clerk
barely had time to escape through the
rear door. The dog then took a rest, and
a big crowd of pursuers, armed with
pitchforks, clubs and other useless instru
ments, gathered in front to wait for it to
come out Joseph Graham, the grocer at
No. 1906 Market street, had his trusty
gun ready, ana was in the crowd. The
dog came out. His eyes were CLASSY and
an ominous color of froth fell from his
blue lips. The crowd scattered, but Mr..
Graham pointed his gun and shot the
mad dog before it had gone FIVE yards.
Officer Taylor, who had been hunting
for the dog since its escape to kill it,
arrived soon after its death.
No persons were bitten. This was the
second mad dog In three days. The
other dog ran on Sunday and so far
twelve dogs bitten by It have been killed.
Several others felt the fangs Of the rabid
animal, but their owners have not yet
killed them. If they are not killed the
harvest Of mad dogs will be startling in
its size and alarming in its danger.
Ninth ward residents think it should be
compulsory that bitten dogs be killed
immediately.
