Her Dream Came True.

Mr. j. H. McCarter, foreman in th,
employ Of the p. w. & B. Railroad
Company, resides with his wife at Belle
vue,a short distance from this city. They
have had a eolored girl named Lille NJ
Niney employed day or so each week
in their family y to assist with the house
work. Last Sunday night Lille had ;
remarkable dream, that some one haC
stolen a fine blue cloth suit belonging
to Mrs. McCarter and valued at 81
That lady upon examination found hel
dress safely hanging n the place where
it was kept, and there it remained un
til yesterday morning, when the dream
came true and the suit was gone.
Unfortunately for Lille she dis.
appeared at the same time, and Mr.. Nc
Carter finding that she had come tothis
city sent word to the police, which re,
suited in her being arrested, and last
evening she had a hearing before the
Mayor She had the suit on, and il
was fully identified by Mr.. and Mrs
McCarter. When she took the dress il
had a watch pocket on the left side
which she had torn off to prevent
identification, bur as frequently happens
III such cases, this was one of the very
means by which it was positively
identified. The Mayor committed her
in default of 500 bail, and if she can
only continue dreaming for the next
three months, it is probable she will be
able ~ tell what disposition will be-
made OF her case at the next term of
