girls from ten to fourteen years of ago, who are
daily upon the streets, without any apparent
object other than thieving, and who are without
any fxed places Of abodes. i".'f..
A day or two since, four Of these girls got
into an alteration with each other near the
corner of Pennsy vania avenue and Fourteenth
street, when three Of them attacked the Oldest
one OF the party, and chased her to Baies's
alley, in 6 street, where she took refuge in the
house Of colored woman. The others fingered
around the house for her 10 come out, and were
loud IN their curses upon her, because, rs they
stated, she had picked a hdy's pocket of SIX.
Teen dollars In the, market, and refused to
divide with them. After she had been in the
house some two or three hours, her pursurers
were prevailed on to leave the locality, and she
was taken In charge by a. disreputable woman
who conducted herto her house in the west end
of the alley.
Surely, with such cases as these in our midst,
our city affords one of the best openings for y
house Of refuge, and measures should at once
be taken to bring back from the walks Of crime
