A SINGULAR SUIT.
A Hat Unties a Attmpun by Biting a
Lndy.on the Arm.
Constitution.
A singular suit has been filed for
trial in the city court. The plain
tiffs are Rev. George W. Baker
and his wife, Mrs. Carolina H.
Baker. They have instituted suit
against Mr. W. A. Huff, proprietor
of tile Markham bouse, lor ten
thousand dollars ns damages for
several bites from a rat which Mrs.
Baker received while a guest of
the Markham in June last. In the
petition, which is filed by Mr. Uu-
ker, he sets up that he is a Baptist
minister and is engaged in the sale
of books of a religious character
and at the time of the injury for
which lie seeks damaces Ids wife
was selling a book called the “Bap
tist Encyclopaedia,' 1 on every sub
scription to which she received
from a dollar and a half to two
dollars in commission.' That her
average monthly earnings were
$200 up to the time at which she
was bitten by the rat, and that
without that injury she would have
continued to earn that amount.
The injury was received as follows:
In the month of June Mrs. Baker,
in the prosecution of her work,
came to Atlanta and became the
guest of tlic Markham, of which
hotel Mr. llufris the proprietor.
Shu was assigned to n room on the
second floor which she describes
as ono of the highest priced rooms
in the house. At night she retired
after extinguishing the light, when
suddenly she felt the cover move.
She reached out her left hand,
when her arm was seized liy n large
rat, which she says was so infuri
ated that before she could take the
hand away she was bitten in eight |
places. The wounds became in- ;
llamcd, and the arm became badly
swollen, and erysipelas set in. The
arm appeared as if it would morti
fy ami it seemed that Mrs. Baker
would lose it, and perhaps her life.
Mr. Baker recites the trouble, ex
pense and pain which has been
caused to himself and wile anil
puts the damages at ten thousand
dollars, six hundred of which is set
down as an actual loss, as a hut
would have been his wife’s earnings
for three months, nud five hundred
as an expense for medical attention.
Mr. Baker says that Mr. Huff
should liavc kept his beds free from
vermin. The case is un unusual
one, and tiro trial will excite con
siderable interest.
STRENGTH
to vigorously push a business,
strength to study a profession,
strength to regulate a household,
strength to do a day’s labor with
out physical pain. All this repre
sents what is wanted, in the often
heard expression, "OhI I wish I
had the strength I” If you are
broken down, have not energy, or
feel as if life was hardly worth liv
ing, you can be relieved and re
stored to robust health and strength
by taking BROWN’S IRON BIT
TERS, which is a true tonic—a
medicine universally recommended
for all wasting diseases.

Sot N. Fremont St, Baltimore
During the war I wai in
jured in the stomach by a piece
of a shell, and have suffered
from it ever since. Aboutfour
years ago it brought on paraly-
sis, which kept me in bed six
months, and the best doctors
in the city said I could not
live. I suffered fearfully from %
indigestion, and for over two
years could not cat solid food
and for a large portion of the
time was unable to retain even
liquid nourishment. I tried
Brown's Iron Ritters and now
after taking two bottles I am
able to get up and go around
lidly improving.
