THE CUIDAD DOCKED At LAST.
Spanish Steamship Run Up on the Dry
@Dock After Many Days of Delay at 3
O'Clock This Morning.

~AoNA ANS nAohhtuks
At o'clock this morning a large force
of men, with the aid of the tug Taurus
and their own Simpson machinery,
hauled out of the water the Spanish
steamship Cuidad de Roua on the dry
dock at the Harlan and Holllngsworth
CompAny's shipyard, after many days Of
delay.
The steamship was to have been ready
to leave Wilmington to-day to load her
cargo for the other eide OF the Atlantic
but the fRtes seemed to be
against her. First, her docking
was delayed by extreme low tides
Then came the binding snow storms
and I zero weather. This froze her
so tight In the OhrIstiana that the only
way she could be stirred was by loosen
ing the ice by means of dynamite blasts
The Ice around her was very thick and
such heavy blasts were used that the
frozen particles we're tossed high in the
air
The Cuidad was damaged early in Jan
nary by collision with her tow at sea.
Her repairs have already begun

BATTLE WITH COLONY OF RATS

It was a hard-earned victory thai
Walter Carter Won over an army OF
rats In Camden, says the Baltimore
American. 1t was a case of fight OF
perish, and Carter fought. When the
fierce battle was finished he counted
the heaps Of fallen enemies. There
We're 1O2 of them. Carter Is member
of the firm of Roberts & Carter, pro
vision dealers, on Second street. above
Pearl. For a long time the firm suf.
fered severely from the depreciation Of
rats. which seemed to grow in boldness
as they increased In numbers. They
We're into every thing, climbing all over
the store and gnawing into boxes, bar.
rels and bins to such an extent that the
owners We're appalled,.
1t was the junior partners habit to
open the store in the morning, and he
invariably heard a great scampering
over the place as he entered by the dim
light. He concluded at last to have 1t
out with the little beasts, and began
an investigat ton to locate their rendez-
yous. This he had no difficulty In find
ing. As he opened the door of small
brick smoke-house in the rear Of the
store, now little used, he saw fully a
dozen rats run into holes in the floor
and walls. They quickly recovered
from their fright, however, and emerg-
ed to glare viciously at him out Of their
wicked little black eyes. Carter walk
ed out, got q short, thick club and a
lantern, and re-entered the smoke
house. This time he closed the door
behind him. The dim light of the Ian
tern served to half daze the rats, and
Carter had no difficulty in killing three
big fellows. AS they gave vent to dy-
rats emerged from seemingly nowhere,
surrounding the young man with the
club on all sides. To show an instant's
fear meant probable death for the in
yader Of the rats domain. 1t must be q
fight to a finish. Carter's retreat was
cut off. and he started In to fight.
The rats leaped at his hands and face.
and crawled over his feet, all the while
keeping up horrible din of squealing
that nerved Carter to his task. One
after another Of the soft, ugly things
struck him as he stood dealing blows
right and left, and telling a rat at al
most every blow. Still the numbers
multiplied. and the courageous fighter
began to fear that he would have to
fall before the horrid foe. He had
been bitten several times on the hand,
but had managed to keep the fangs Of
the vicious beasts from his head and
face. Thus the fight kept on for fully
fifteen minutes, and Carter was grow
ing weak from the violent exertion.
At last, however, he felt that the rats
were gradually thinning out, and
he had less trouble in keeping them
off him. This gave him fresh courage,
and at length he realized that he had
Won No more rats appeared.
Almost overcome by the exertions and
excitement, Carter staggered out into
the open air and gathered himelf to-
gether. In few minutes he recovered
and. piling up the dead, found that he
had killed 1O2.
