were greatly pleased 10 have secured
Mr.. Atkinson for the work.
The first request OF the census OIL

threatened 10 resign before the point

the Islands were made on the recon-

Mr.. Atkinson says that the schedules
call for much more detail than was
sought in 1896. Every effort will he
made TO quietly. peacefully secure the
required data. 1t is thought that the
expense of the Island census will he

While in Washington Mr.. Atkinson
enjoyed the priced distinction OF being
an especial guest of the Metropolitan

on the main grand stand when the

MAN yANauIsnED by MusKRATs.
snvageIy Attacked, and Woundei III
Many PIaces-His Dog Killed.

CHICAGO, October 30.-Bleeding from
a score of wounds, j. j. Geraghty, a
police operator in South Chicago, to-day
reached his nome and told a strange
story Of an attack on himself and MS
dog by horde of muskrats in the swamp
along the Calumet river
Geraghty entered the swamp early this
morning to hunt for reed birds. his
dog. q magnificent Gordon setter, accom-
panied him. Shortly after noon he STAR
Ell homeward. Suddenly the furious
barking OF the dog startled him, and BE
covered with muskrats who were ng1t-
ing desperately, biting and squeallng IKE
mad They nipped at the dogs eyes and
caught his tongue in their sharp teeth
He seemed almost helpless. and Geraghty
fired his shotgun at the little army or
rodents, which came scampering TO the
scene hoping 10 scare the ones which
were fast killing his dog. He moved
dowr a dozen rats without appreclably de-
ereasing their number The dog at last
succUmbed, and the reinforcements, num-
bering a hundred, Geraghty says, turned
their attention TO him.
"They climbed through my clothes in
no time and bit me savagely," said the
operator i'm telling the story, "and the
only thing that saved my life was the ar
rival Of a couple of other hunters, who
ran in with clubs and beat the little
fellows off.
hunters who rescued him. Muskrats i1
portions Of the swamp are known to IL
numerous and occasionally Oelllgerent,
but this is said to be the first instance
" here they have attacked a man in any
force.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Two Splendid Productions Given
Yesterday.

The James Kidder Hanford combination
appeared at the Academy yesterday in
two magnificent productions, the perform
ances being by far the most artistic that
have been seen here for some time. 1.-THE
School for Scandal was the bill at the
matinee. and this rare old comedy was
presented with nearly the same cast as
last season. Mr.. Hanford playe Joseph
Surface. the role Mr.. Warde assumed
when the play was last produced here
In the evening the largest and most
fashionable audience that has thus far
gathered I'm the new Academy witnessed
the revival Of THE Winters Tale The
play was magnifcently staged and SUI
perbly mounted. The players did to the
full their share TO make the production
one of artistic excellence. Mr. Hanford
gave a fOrceful reading Of the lines Of
Leontes. and at all times manifested a
thorough appreciation OF the role. Mr..
James, as Autolycus. impaired a genu-
Inc vein of humor 10 the rOguish vaga-
bond, and proved what some critic has
said. that In him the stage lost a great
comedian. Too much praise cannot be
given Miss Kathryn Kidder who appear
ed IN the dual roles Of Hermione and
Perdita. The entire cast was most capa-

COLLISION IN NEW YORK HARBOR.
Ferry-Bont Cut I'm TwO-sever"I rer-
sons Thought Drowned.

NEW YORK. October 3i.-The ferry
boat City of Chicago, plying between
Jersey City and New York, was cut In
two by the steamer City OF Augusta oil
the Savannah Line. at 1896 this CTuesday)
morning on the New York side or North
river. She went down In seven or eight
minutes. There were between thirty ana
forty people aboard, four being women
1t is supposed that several persons were
drowned, though there is no positive
proof Of this.
In spite of the severity of the accident
there was no panic. Most OF the people
were on the upper deck, and only halt
a dozen persons were on the lower deck
Most of the persons managed to OBTAIN
life-preservers. Some others, VINO coulu
not obtain them-about half dozen III
number-swam ashore. The five or sN
nersons who started from the lower dech
assisted each other in getting ashore
There was considerable shouting TOT
help. the people on the boat Gaining TOT
small boats to come TO their assistance.
No small boats were launched, however.
probably owing to the brief period OF
time which elapsed between the cutting
in two and the sinking.
The City OF Augusta was evidehtly
coming up the river at Tie lihiS "a s'o
accident. while the Chicago was headed
straight across from the Jersey shore
for the New York slip.
The City of Augusta stopped after the
accident. but apparently no boats were
lowered, and in the brief space or time
which elapsed nothing was done to assist
the persons in the water.
Estimates made By the persons who
succeeded In escaping vary widely, some
thinking that IL was possible that no loss
Of life resulted, while others believe that
at least a score OF persons were drawn
into the vortex as the ferry-boat sank.
