1t has been the pleasure of this
writer to witness the improvements
and the growth of the general busi-

improvements are made in their looks.

MISS MAGUIRE'S
BODY IS FOUND
speciai to THE EvnNING JOURNAL /

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
LAKE HOPATCONG, n. j., Aug 27.
The body of Miss agnes Mcguire, the
Brooklyn school teacher who disappear
ed mysteriously Saturday night, was
found this morning in Lake Hopat-
cong. 1t was brought up in shallow
water near The shore not far from the
spot where the girl left her cousins
carriage, where she was left waiting
while Charles Mcguire went into the
cottage at Camp Il oolS Who's Here q"
The body bore no bruises or other
marks of violence, and the only theory
is now advanced 10 explain her death
that she became frightened at the
storm which was 1aslng, alighted from
the carriage to follow her cousin and
stumbled into the water.
Finding the body in its present con-
dition has dispelled the various theories
that Miss Maguire was the victim of
kidnappers ana had been carried into
the forest or was wandering half de-
mented about the woods What cast
so much mystery 0ver the case was
that no trace Of how Miss Mcguire
got away from the carriage could be
found. 1t is now supposed the heavy
rain washed away her footprints almost
as fast as made.
