1000 people, who were fairly carried

were brought upon the track at half past

The actual time of this heat was made

not agree, one making 2.l6i, another q

A WOman's Encounter with 9
Monster Alligator.

from the New Iberia (La) Planters Banner,
August 81.
Yesterday the wife of George Harme-
lin,o ,on Nine. o. Delahousse's plantation,
was washing her clothes on the banks
of the Grand Marais canal, about four
feet deep at this time. A large black
alligator, twelve feet long, which had a
few days before captured large hog,
and which was probably hidden in the
bushes, seeing its prey, darted in a
noiseless, stealthy way and caught the
woman by the arm, dragging her into
the water. She succeeded in disenga.
ging her arm, but the monster enclosed
her head in its jaws, and brought her
once more under the water. Then a
frightful struggle took place; the neigh
bors too far off to hear the cries of the
unfortunate woman, she was left to de.
fend her own life.
She can't give an exact account of the
manner in which she extricated her heaG
from the monsters jaws, but said she
never lost presence of mind and hel
fixed purpose of reaching the bank
She succeeded at last, and offered ther
a pitiable aspect indeed. Her arm pre-
sented several deep cuts, one of then
coming very near the artery of the pulse
The forehead had also some deer
wounds, but the fangs of the alligator
had not pierced the back hair or CHG
non.
None Of these bites were torn or jag
ged, but all offered clean, linear shape
like that of fne-edged knife. / saw
the woman about an hour after the acci
dent, and / could detect no trace of ex
element in her. manner. l suppose sh,
owes her life to her sangJroid and self
possession.
Old hunters say that swamp alligatorI
are more ferocious than the lake ol
bayou specimens. This one had turn
ed-up snout, like the Nile alligator, Sc
well known for its ferocity-at least, 81
say the neighbors. The noiseless ap
proach of the animal-not creating
ripple or cracking in the weeds-and
seizing the arm of the unalarmed wo
man. are very remarkable.

A Royal Gamester BarlbOOzled.-
Loaded Dice In the OlGen Time.
fFrom the london Daily TeleefapR.

From the London Daily Telegraph.
At the beginning of the century the
Prince Regent was the guest of the
great Duke of Bedford at Newmarket.
One night, in company with many gay
and dissolute comrades, the Prince re-
paired after dinner to the public gamb-
ling rooms, then not less accessible to
all corners than the Kursaal of Homburg
or the Conversazionhau of Baden Ba-
den is to-day. The Prince played long
and deep at the fascinating game OF
French hazard and not until the pure
rays Of morning had for hours been
streaming through the skylight above
his head did he rise from his seat, with
flushed cheek an6 an angry brow.
Accustomed to heavy losses, the
Prince had on this particular night beer
so numerically "plucked" that some
suspicion of foul play flashed across his
clouded and excited brain. SeiEing tho
dice with which he had been playing
and turning to the proprietor, the roya
gam0ler said: "You shall have checl
tomorrow morning for what have los
if on examination l find that you hav,
won it fairly" Deep Was the dismas
with which the fashionable "hell-keeper'
heard the threat Of his formidable vic
tim The dice, which had long been biz
fraudulent instruments Of robbery, were
he well knew, heavily plugged with lead
Disgrace and punishment stared hin
in the face But with quick -witted read
mess he noticed that poor kinsman o
the Duke of Bedford, guest under th'
same roof which sheltered the Prince
still fingered in the gambling room
Calling this gentleman" aside, the gam
bling house keeper offered to give hin
a large sum if he would enter tn
Princes bedroom and substitute an hon
est pair of dice for the "loaded'' o
''cogged' cubes of ivory which th'
Prince had carried off
The bribe was accepted; and, as tn
Royal roae slept the heavy sleep OF ex
haustiop, the exchange was effected. Ol
the following day, after having cause'
