During the passage Of the George Leary from
Norfolk to Washin gton, which arrived yester-
day, one of the passengers man about thirty
five years Of age with light, sandy moustache,
gray eyes, and wearing pepper.and.sat coat,
out at the elbows, made himself very agree
able TO and familiar with another of the pas
sengcrs named, Mr.. L. A. Guy. The stranger
entered readily into conversation and seemed
to take some interest in the destination OF
Mr. Guy, Guy, having never before been to
this city, accepted with gratitude the generous
offer Of the stranger to show him around
Arriving at the city Guy was taken in hand by
tho stranger, and, after visiting several
places, took q car for the residence of
a Mr.. Sellers, n cousin Of his, in the north
ern section of the city. After remaining
few minutes and ascertaining where the work.
| shop of Sellers was he jumped upon Ninth
street car. On the way down the stranger
asked for the loan of a quarter, but did not get
it. At the corner of Ninth street he left the
| car saying that he guessed it was no use for
| him 10 go any further, rs Guy could find his
cousin very easily without his assistance. Guy
| continued on his way, but the stranger faced
about and vending his way back TO the resi-
| dence of Sellers, presented a note, which lie
had written, to Mrs. Sellers, asking her for her
| husbands suit of best clothes, aud all loose
| change, rs he wanted to have good time with
| his cousin. Mrs Sellers, taking it for granted
| that her husband had sent for the things, gave
| the clothes aud some change to the stranger
aud he departed. Tabeau when Mr.. Sellers
returned homo from work. Tho booty is
valued at $50 by Mr.. Sellers.
