A STARTLING STORY.
Told by q Little Negro Girl i'm
Court.

A case little out of the common
run was tried in the Police Court this
morning. A little negro girl, not
much taller than the lawyers table,
testified that Richard Stewart, a col
ored youth, prisoner at the bar, had
made her his confident in scheme to
rob her employer, Mrs. John Rut-
ledge, who lives on Aliens avenue.
For some time past, she said, she
had been in the habit Of stealing
small sums from Mrs. Rutledge, which
she gave to Stewart. She had also
pilfered provisions, at one time half a
bucket Of sugar, which she hid in the
Woodhouse, from whence they we're
taken by Stewart. Saturday
evening Stewart asked the child
where Mrs. Rutledge kept
her money, and was told not to be
alarmed that night If she heard an
outcry; that he would go and get his
partner and return at ten o'clock and
cry murder. While everybody was
excited he would get the money and
escape. The little girl, by her own
admission, informed him that there
was no man about the house at night,
and volunteered to leave the window
open for him.
Mrs. Rutledge testified that Stew
art whom she knew and trusted, Wis
tied the house late in the evening, and
seemed very nervous. He stood lean,
ing on the mantle near her, and
twirled large handkerchief. The lit.
tie darky begged him to sit down, with
tears in her eyes, evidently afraid he
was about to commit the contem
plated crime on the spot He refused
to sit down and soon afterward left the
room in a sort of decisive, shutting
manner. After he had gone, Mrs
Rutledge missed q gold thimble and
accused the child OF taking it. She
denied il, and threatened with arrest
said she had given it TO Stewart, that
she had given him stoleE money, but
said nothing of his contemplated rob.
berry. About 10 o'clock that night
a cry Of murder was heard directly
beneath Mrs. Rutledges window, and
it was noticed that the little darky
stood perfectly still. Mrs. Rutledge
screamed aud an acquaintance, who
happened to be passing, ran to hel
aid. He testified this morning that be
met two men running off IN the dark
ness. Stewart was fined $40.

The City Debt.
The city debt is in fair way for
adjustment, the funding ordinance
having passed its first reading before
the Legislative Council on Saturday,
after which it was referred to the City
Attorneys, Messrs. Lee, Cochran and
Livermore. Itsettles the debt at the
rate of so cents on the dollar, with 3
per cent interest for three years, 4
per cent for the succeeding three years
and 6 per cent thereafter. Each bond
is to have sixty coupons attached, the
last six to be 3 per cent and the six
next for 4, so they may be the first to
be cut of; all others to bear 6 per
cent.
