A GERMAN STRANGER VISITS THE LOWER
SECTION OF OUR CITY, AND IS ROBBED OF $l45-
A MIR. Rheinhardt, ,au old residenter In Reading,
a native Teuton, of corpulent proportions,
visited our city yesterday. Steadily eschewing
the more agreeable portions of IL, he desired to
witness the sights personally of which so much
had been told him. Last night he started for a
tramp through St. Mary street, when before a
little den in that thoroughfare, between Sixth
and Seventh streets. he was called in by two
Amazonian colored women. Accepting tue
invitation, he passed the portals. This was no
sooner done than he was seized, knocked down,
battered, and robbed of $l45 which he had in
his pockets by these same colored women
Recovering somewhat from the abruptness of
the attack, he launched forth heavily to the
right and left, but In pugilism fell far short of
his opponents In the affray his clothes were
rent, while his inexpressibles had entirely lost
their original form. He got out as best he could
and lodged complaint, which led.io the arrest of
one of the parties, Ann Trusty, who was COM
mitted by Alderman Butler. The gentleman
German has advanced his assurance that his
desire for the personal observation of "sights"
has been fully and enectually eradicated.
