sleek Stealing.

About three o'clock, day before yes
terday evening, some n entered the
alley gate Of the residence Of Mrs.
James Dalton, los Hill street, walked
boldly into the kitchen and then into
the second room, and succeeded in
stealing and escaping with a fine cash
mere shawl worth one hundred dol
lars, a dress worth about fifty dollars,
and some silk in the bolt valued at
about the same amount a ham and a
gallon of coal oil were also taken. The
door of the second room, which led
into the sitting-room, was ajar, and
Mrs. Dalton, who was in the sitting
room engaged in sewing, was unaware
of the robbery until aftergard. No
traces were left except a few tracks
about the alley gate, doubtless made
by a woman wearing a No. 2 shoe.
The size OF the foot almost pre-
cludes the belief hat it was a colored
woman, so the supposition naturally
follows that it was one of Mrs. Dial
tons neighbors, who would doubtless
have claimed to be on a visit had she
been discovered.
Constable NJ. Garvin procured a
search warrant and went through the
premises of a white woman near by.
to whom Mrs. Dalton lately showed
the goods, but did not succeed iG ind
ing them. Several instances Of the
kind have occurred lately, though in
no case has the robbery been so ex-
teusive or the articles taken Of SO
much value.
