A Girls Exploit.

Several weeks ago Kate Duroy, a rather
pretty little brunette of eighteen years, was
induced by one Of her male acquaintances
TO leave her home in Reading and come to
this city. After being with him a while
he started her out to steal, and concooted
a scheme of robbery in which she was to
play the principal part On the night of
the l1th of August, under the mans di-
Tections, Kate sneaked into the house of
MIR. W. il. Harrison, I2i south Thirty
uinth street, and, taking off her shoes,
concealed herself in an upstairs room,
intending to go down late at night and adj
NIT her friend. The apartment happened to
be occupied by one of the servants, and the
latter, going up for some article, saw the
girl suddenly crawl under the bed. The
alarm was given and search made, but no
girl could be found. A soled garter how
ever, was found ou the bed, aud a pair of
shoes in the cellar, showing that n stranger
had been in the house. The plan Of the
two thieves, it appears, was arranged so
that Kate was to admit the man, and the
two were to rob the place, sharing
the plunder All that night however,
people were stirring in the house owing to
sthe sickness of Mrs. Harrison, and the
2 girl did not deem it safe to let in the man
:, as she had promised. When daylight ar
rived, fearful of being discovered, she
. crawled into chest where she lay until
Hate at night, and when all appeared quiet
she came out, visited the kitchen, obtain
ed something to eat and returned up
stairs. Again there were too many moving
! around, and at sunrise she again sought
tlAe chest, remaining until the next night
Then she admitted the man, but they
quareled over her not having found the
eilverware, and upon her threatening to
expose him he left. She then visited MIR.
Harrison's room, purloined SO from his
belonging to a servant i'll the house, and
left. She was soon after taken into Gus
tody, and the stolen wearing apparel and
Do cash being found upon her, she acknowl-
edged the crime. Kate had hearing at
the Central Police Court on Saturday, and
after Mr.. Harrison had given in his evil
dence, and the shoes and stockings she
wore were identified by their owner, Miss
-hDurOy confessed everything She was
Ylaced under $500 bail to answer at
court. rt.-PhI'a., North american,

Some OF your correspondents have
the impression that the Paving Bill,
now pending in the Legislature, is be,
ing engineered" by some person OF
persons, for improper purposes. The
facts are that such bill was prepared
by the City Solicitor, at the request oi
the Committee OH Streets and Alleys,
was submitted to the Council, Was APP
proved by both branches, and the Com
mittee on Legislature instructed to ask
the Legislature to pass the same. The
bill has been published in the news
papers, and freely discussed, and there
has been no attempt, apparent to the
writer, on the part ot any one, In
suppress light, or take advantage.
The hill is not in accordance with the
original proposition submitted to Coun-
Gil, and is not, in some respects, salts
factory To those who voted tor it in
Council; but it was accepted ~ better
than none, and as the only one, in the
opinion Of legal gentlemen, at present
available.
There is no one probably in the Leg
islature, or in the city Council, who de-
sircs the passage ol any bill obnoxious
to the people OF the city. II is possible
that the bill can be 80 amended as Ia
remove some ol lis Objectionable pro.
visions. In the meantime the legisL,-
ture will naturally accept the action oi
Council Us more authoritative than an
onymous communications suggesting
improper motives where probably none
exist. NINDEN.
