Cincinnati Enquirer, Mr. P. J. Hogan, the gas fitter for the opera festival, had a narrow es. cape trom death by fright on Friday afternoon, when he came in contact with a real live alligator four feet long in a place wlmru ho one would expect to find such ‘*‘a varmint,” About eighteen months ago the zoological garden loaned to the oxposition a young alligator two feet long to adorn the cascade in Horticultural hall and give an appearance of wildness to the artificial scene by the presence of ani- mal life of a repulsive kind, The al- ligator behaved very well for some time, and satiated his appetite with bugs, flies, and mosquitoes, But one night ho disappearod, and he was monrned for lost or stolon, although the commissioners thought that there was no man in Cincinnatimean enough to carry away an alligator, In a fow* months the absence of the loathsome creature was forgotten, and it was be- lioved that he wandered off and died. On Friday Mr. Tom Wise sent for Mr, P J. Hogan to conncct the street gus with the Music hall building. Tt will bo remembered that the Elm sucet fiont of Hortiouitur nail s about three foot above the level of we, part used for the cascade and exhibit of plants. Into this raised portion Mr. Hogan went boldly with a wrench and a lantern,” but he had scarcely disappeared from view when a most unearthly yell was heard, and the poor plumber, without lnntern hat, or tools, rushed out to where the as- tonished Wise and his assistants stood Hogan's hair stood up like bristles on the fretful porcupine, and his eyes rolled with such an expression of ter- ror that the other men shrank from him. ~ He could hardly ejaculate: “BeJ -s, I'll notgoin there agin, There's the most infernal-lookin, cra- tur I ever saw. It opened it big jaws and wagged its baistly tail at me, and wanted to ait me up. Be heavens, when it moved I moved, too. The gas may go to the devil."” Mr. Wise, thinking the man fright- ened without cause, undertook to ex- plore the cavern and beard the mon- ster in his den, but he was only ab- sont a few seconds, and made quicker time in reaching dnyllght than Hogan. He staid long enough, however, to find out that the reptile was an allga- tor, and at a rapid glance seemed to measure four feet n length. Here then, was an alligator which was sup- pouud to be lost, and Hogan had found him. It had prub-lbly crawled into this retreat and had hibernated in the moist, ""“th grouud. The tood which Mr. ligator had indulged in probably consisted of rats and small bugs and insects. At any rate, he is still alive and has increased his length during his mysterious absent about two feet. But there seems to be a disposition to let him severely alone, as the gas has not yet been connected. Wise and Hogan declare they are sat- isfied to let him stay. The ingenuity of man will probably capture him at Inst, and with the help of one hundred men, with clubs and a derrick, it is probable the festive alligator will be soon agay corpse. Mr. Wise will take up the Ilnorwdi and with ropes will remove his alligatorship. The reptile should be taken back to the house of his younger days at the Zoological garden, nnfi preserved for having a history more romantic than any of his species. Buckun's Armica Salve.
