some friends living upon the same street. only few
blocks above. Here she remsinod for hour or
more awaiting the return of her friends husband,
whom she expected would escort her home The
gentleman rot returning at his appointed tme the
young lady left for hope about O'Clock, aud on her
way met the husband hunying hOmeward. She told
him his wife anxiousy looking for him, aud stood
a few minutes conversing with him. While thus en-
gagged policeman came up and took stand within
three feet of them, watching them atientivcy and
listening to their conversation but saying nothing
The lady became greatly frightened and was obliged
10 return to her friends house where she taken
quite III. Recovering in little time the gentleman
escorted her home.
Frequent complaints of this character are made to
ns, and il behooves policemen to be extremely careful
whom they openly insult in such manner
Not night passes but that dsreputabe women
whose characters well known TO the police, are
allowed without molesatop OF hindrance to stand in
tho most public streets and converse with whoever
ihey please; yet lady chances to be kept out after
nghtfa she must be followed and closely watched by
some Of the policemen OF our City. 1t is wonder
that some Of these model policemen are not often
ghtly injured by the accidental discharge of their
duty.

Daring Robbery.

On last Saturday night robbery was com
mitted on the up train of the C. G. & c. Rail.
road, short distance from Grafton The cir
cumstsnces, as We learn from the Cleveland
Leader, are rs follows:
A passenger, whose name we could not
learn, was sitting alone in a seat. when a stran.
ger, who sat near the stove. came over 10 him
and asked permission to sit along side, saying
as a reason, that the stove was too warm. The
new conner WAS eating lozenges. and generous
ly divided with the FIRST occupant Of the seat.
In a few minutes afterwards he felt nausea at
his stomach, and soon afterwards fell asleep.
and did not wake up till the Conduc.@ came
along to collect the checks. The stranger was
gone, and in a short time the train arrived At
the depot. In the omnibus he related the cir
cumstance of the lozenges, and his subsequent
illness, to an acquaintance, who at once asked
him whether he had examined his pocket book.
He did so, and found himself minus s275, but
the robber had gone, and il is not likely that
he will ever be caught. This is an improved
method of pocket picking,
