An Atlantic City Girl Attacked by Rats while She Slept.

Delia Ireland, the fifteen-year-old daughter of William Ireland, a produce dealer, residing on Florida avenue, went through a strange and rather startling experience on Friday night. While sleeping in her bed she was awakened by a sharp pain in her ear. She thought nothing of it, and again went off into dreamland. She was soon again awakened by a more pronounced stinging sensation, and was

puzzled to account for it.

Miss Ireland, however, drove fear

away, and was in a doze when for the third time she felt the pain, and awoke to hear the pattering of feet and squeak of rats. She courageously got out of her

bed, lighted the lamp and did not sleep

any more that night.

On looking in the glass Miss Ireland found one of her ears had been bitten several times, and that there were other marks of the rodents' teeth on her face. In the morning she told her parents of her adventure to their great astonishment. The story became circulated among the neighbors, and since there has been a general war waged against

rats in the vicinity.

Donahue, the Philadelphia restauranteur, fell from his bicycle on Indiana avenue Thursday afternoon and broke two ribs. The License and Police Committee of City Council, which was instructed to visit the Turkish Theatre, on the Boardwalk, and decide whether the dance given there was an indecent exhibition as charged, have decided that it is such and unfit to exhibited.

A tragedy was averted Friday when a horse owned by Mr. Schwamb, of Schwamb's Hotel and Cafe, took fright on Kentucky avenue and ran towards the beach right under the boardwalk. At this point were a crowd of children and their attendants playing in the sand, and when the frightened steed was almost upon them it struck some piling, which threw it headlong and broke its neck. The second Sunday of the season passed off quietly, although there were thousands of visitors in the city. There were thousands of bathers in the water during the day, but only two rescues were made. Guard Gale assisted George Miller, a Philadelphian, out of the water at Tennessee avenue, and Guard Peak aided a man who persisted in swimming in dangerous proximity to the Bew jetty. The Constatter Association of Philadelphia came down six hundred strong, and the George W. Childs Beneficial Association brought down 200 more to swell the through of visitors. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Loeb, of Philadelphia, who are summering here, celebrated their silver jubilee at their North Carolina avenue residence yesterday. Thirty members of the family were present. In the evening a reception was held, and 200 friends of Mr. and Mrs. Loeb tendered congratulations. Although the day was a comparatively quiet one in police circles, several arrests were made, four for fast driving. The prisoners are Hugh Devine, William Levins, Sherman Rider and Howard Fulton, all of Philadelphia. The latter three wrecked a carriage, which they had hired from Doughty's stables, and Devine nearly

ran over Policeman Long.

Editor John F. Hall, of the Union, of this city, preferred a complaint against City Life Guard Jack Peak, at a meeting of City Council Monday night, charging him with assault and conduct unbecoming an officer of the city. Mr. Hall was in bathing, near the Bew jetty, and Guard Peak forcibly ejected him from the hole. The guard was ordered suspended pending a trial before Council on the 31st. Mr. Hall also had Guard Peak arrested on the charge of assault and battery, and the guard

was held in $300 bail for court.

Ardell, returning home early in the morning, found his wife absent, and when she came in he accused her of being out with another man. A violent quarrel ensued. Officer Mathias, some time later, found the woman going to a drug store with her arm and shoulder frightfully gashed. He rang for a patrol wagon and sent her to the hospital. Ardell declares that his wife received her injuries by falling over a water pitcher. Mrs. Ardell would not make a charge against her husband.

He was held for a further hearing.

Quidort was served on the City Council Saturday night, requiring that body to show cause in the Supreme Court on July 10th, why an injunction should not be issued prohibiting the building of the $5000 music pavilion on the beach front. This is the third public improvement which has been temporarily defeated by the opponents of the present Council. Many of the progressive residents are indignant because of the delay of these improvements at the time of the season when one day means as much as six months in the winter season.

Those Atlantic City Fires. The police authorities of Atlantic City

are busy investigating the mysterious fires which have nearly destroyed a certain hotel in that place several times this season.

They should not rest until the fires

have been traced to their origin. If that origin is incendiary, they should

refuse to rest even then.

The incendiary who sets fire to a crowded building for his own profit is the equal in cruelty of the train-wrecker and possibly his superior in that respect. Hanging is entirely too light a punish-

ment for him.

Thousands of pieces of spring stock now on the shelves in golds, micas and blancks, all shades and tints, at prices to defy competition. A discount on all cash bills. B. R. Smith & Sons, 1046 Asbury avenue.
