Roads TO the Fair Grounds.

Interviews with gentlemen connected
with the matter, indicate that the lines of
travel by which ST. Paul people will reach
the fair excepting, of course, the
railroads-will be University and Smelling
avenues. Work is being done on
both these, 10 greater or less
extent, 10 put them in condition
suitably to accommodate the great numbers
OF trains that viii daily dead toward the
fair. 1t is the opinion, however, of prom
inent gentlemen that Como avenue should
be opened up and improved by grading, etc,
as it would thus become one of the most
direct approaches. 1t is believed by some
that it is not too late in the day to attempt
this. Mr.. George II. Hazard is quoted as
saying that the board of public works was
somewhat direlict i'm the matter of opening
up Front street. Lexington, Marshall and
Simpson avenues, and that the proper steps
were not taken in this matter early enough
III the season to insure its complete success.

people labor under the impression that

PossiblYaN MIRACLE.

ALBANY, Aug. 21.-COnsiderable excite
ment has been caused in Cohoes by a
strange sight at the residence of Mrs.
Thomas Wood. whose infant child died on
Wednesday. When the undertaken was
preparing the body for burial, one of the
party present suddenly declared that the
figures of cross and chalice could be seen
on the white cloth that covered the child'S
face. The others looked and saw the fig
ureS. Word went out and people flOcked
to- the house until it became necessary to
call upon the police to keep back the crowd.
The cloth was frequently wet with water,
but the figures remained. The spots where
the cross and chalice were outlined were of
a glistening. whittier shade than the remain
der of the cloth when it was wet. About
II O'Clock yesterday the shadow disap-
peared. Many believe it to have been a
miracle.

HUNTING ALLIGATORS.
The Pleasure and Peril OF Shooting
the Sad-EYed Saurfan,


James T. Baker, who lately returned
from Florida, gave Standard reporter a
graphic account of his experience in hunting
alligators on the st. Johns river, a little
above Jacksonville. 1T is the best sport I
know Of" said Mr.. Baker pleasantly, ito
spend the night shining for and shooting
alligatOrS. Two hunters usually 90 ont
together in q large boat. one carries a dark
lantern and shines it from the bow out over
the water. The bright light attracts some
times deer and often alligatOrs. In either
case the man in the stern. who has been
keeping sharp lookout, fires straight for
the eye.
1T is strange sight to see the eye of the
ailigatOrS blazing steadily just above the
surface of the water. In and about the eye
Is the only place upon the upper side OF the
alligator which IS vulnerable. Once hit in
the eye the gator is stunned. and the hunters
then urge the boat up to him. One digs a
gaif-hoOk into his body just under the front
legs and partially lifts him to the surface.
while another with ShOrt-handled axe deals
him heavy blow just behind the head.
That IS done TO sever the spinal cord, and
thus destroy the reptiles power to swing its
tail.
Il suppose you know that one blow of
an alligatOr's tail Will breek mans leg; but
one well-directed blow usually renders him
pOwerleSS. He IS then. by the united
efforts of both hunters, dragged into the
boat. The gator dies hard. though. Often
after he is in the boat he misses and bellows
fearfuly. The first time | heard the I'M
earthly sound l was so startled that 1 almost
jumped over board, while my companion
laughed heartily. 1t was not uncommon
for us to catch dozen alligatOrS in the
course of one night. Syracuse Standard.

Drowning of a BeaUIiFul Girl.


LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. GA fisher
man found the body of woman floating
III the river near Six-AIile island Yesterday
and lowed it ashore. The coroner held an
inquest last night and facts were devel-
oped that promise a great sensation. The
body was that of girl not more than
eighteen years old. 1t was clothed in a
Spiendidly-titting dress of fine white mater
lal, rich lace at the coTsage and sleeves.
The shapely ankles Were encased in costly
silk stockings, and the tiny feet wore fine
kid CATERS. The hands We're very small
and Shapely, and the undertaking was of
the finest lace and linen. At tine throat
was pinned a coral brooch set with
pearls. On the third finger of
the right hand was gold ring
of odd design set with beautiful diamond
of steel white and without flaw. Every
thing indicated that the girl was a person
OF wealth and refinement. The features
were clean-cut and beautiful, the cheeks
round and full and the eyes large and dark
brown. There were no marks going to
show violence direct, but towel tied
around the head and stuffed into the mouth
indicated that the girl had been gagged and
thrown into the river. The coroner and
several physicians made an examination
upon the theory that the girl had been out
ragged and murdered, but a careful investi-
CATION proved that her person had never
been violated. The case is one of great and
peculiar interest and will keep the police
and reporters busy. The body tonight was
identified as that of Mrs. Annie johnson of
Madison, Ind. The causes which led to
her death still remain mystery.
