Young German Girl Ia the CITY.

A phase Of robbery presenting some novel
features transpired yesterday, with the usual
batch Of burglaries committed the night be.
fore. In this particular case, the victim was
q young German girl Is dependent upon
her earnings as domestic, and whose little
all was stolen from her under particularly
unpleasant circumstances. Tho girl iaA pref.
ty, nnocent.looking and lady.like young
woman OF eighteen or 10, and has had rather
on interesting career for one OF her rye.
nER sroRY.
The girls name Is Katie Schmel,z, and abe
Ia native Of Saxony, and came 10 America
only two years ago. The story abe tells Ia a
sad one, and her manner leads one TO believe
It. Bhe Gays her father died some years ago,
and few years since her mother remarked.
The second husband was a base man who
shortly after his marriage to Mrs. schmeltz
conceived an unholy passion for the daugh.
ter, and began to persecute her and insult
her at every opportunity. To preserve her
honor and restore the shattered peace OF
the household Katie resolved to dee, and In
1882 she came to Insecurity, where relatives
had preceded her. She came 10 Wheeling, and
here sought and secured work as domestic,
preferring thus to support herself rather than
10 be burden to her relatives. She worked
at the at. James hotel, the McLnre house,
and at Sheriff Browns residence. Recently,
after corresponding for some time with relh!.
tives In Cincinnati, she concluded to 10 there
10 live, and was preparing 10 depart week
ago last Monday, when the robbery referred
| 10 took place.
DECEIVED AND ROBBED.
Katie stopped at GREEN'S Hotel, on Water
street, and while paying for her supper
showed her money. Two other girls, Sadie
Shepherd, OF Bellaire, and Rose Klatterbach,
Of this city, heard her say that she was going
10 Cincinnati in tho morning, and proposed
that she save the cost Of a nights lodging by
going to the barber shop OF Bernard Brown,
on Water street. who also keeps an intelli.
gence Office, where they could all stay for
nothing. They said they were also going to
Cincinnati the next day. Katie accepted
the offer Of the girls, and went with them.
She sat up till "a. NJ, and then slept soundly
| till late In the morning. When abe awaken
cd, her money, about SCI, was gone, and wit
1t a necklace rubber circular, oyershues, kid
gloves and veil.
She complained to the police, but no trace
of the stolen things was found until yester.
day, when Katie was told that the Shepherd
girl had on her necklace and was at Bernard
I Browns place. She went to Squire Ankles
and swore out q warrant, and Cspt. Bennett
arrested Sadie who was given a hearing by
the justice, and in default of $500 bail, was
sent TO Jail to answer to the charge OF grand
larceny before the next grand jury.

Last Years Flood ACKNOWLEDGMENT Lons
Of Property. lur.}
CINCINNATI, O., February 60 A. M.-The
rain continues. The river is IS feet and
rising s inches per hour. All the small
streams in the country are at food height.
Reports from up.river points are that the
rain is still falling, and the river rising
rapidly. at Portsmouth it is IS feet, at
Ironton IS feet 7 inches, at Huntington ~
feet. .
Conservative men who yesterday were
unwilling to admit that last years flood
would be duplicated now cannot be found.
There is no longer a doubt that the water
will reach last years height. On the con-
tIary, with rain still falling and the wealth
er mild, the only question now is by how
much last years Hood will be exceeded,
The most alarming feature Of the present
situation is the rapidly Of the rise. Last
year when the river had reached this
height, it WAS rising less than an inch an
hour. AT noon to-day the gauge shows 50
feet 4 inches, rise of inches in the last
hour. This is unprecedented at such high
stage and shows what prodigous rain fall
there has been. nr
With last years experience merchants
and manufacturers will lose much less than
then. No time is now wasted in pumping
water from cellars. Every available man
and team is employed, where the water
may encroach, in placing goods on higher
floors or in removing them to higher
grounds. Business is completely suspended
throug bout all the lower part OF the city.

A. Washington Hermit.

For nearly lifetime hermit named
John +. Birch and his sister have livod
in the ruins Of u frame building which
stands ona vacant lot on + street near
I the Patent Office, and Just around the
corner from the old Ford's Theater,
where President Lincoln was shot. The
brother and sister inherited the proper
ty from their parents, but never inn
proved it, living secluded from their
neighbors. scarcely ever venturing out
upon the street to buy the neccssaries
of life until after nightfall. The BROTH
or, who Is said TO be brother of Billy
Birch, the minstrel man, earned d
scanty living by repairing violins and
othor musical instruments. A few
years ago the old building fell down,
but the occupants were unhurt; and
continued to make their home under the
same room, asportion of which was in
such condition that it could be propped
up a few feet from the ground. SO as to
keep out wind and rain. Tho old ruin
was invisible from the street. because
of board fence, ten feet high, which
has stood there, it is sni,l, fully forty
years. The property was sold at pub
lie auction few months ago, TO satisfy
the claims of the tax collector, and the
court ordered the marshal to deliver
the property to the purchasers. Under
the order Of the court the hermit and
his sister were removed Thursday.
When boards of the high fence in front
OF the lot were taken down q large
crowd gathered on the sidewalks and
gazed curiously on the confused mass
of boards and tin roofing which were
piled up in the interior When the
WOrkmen began to move these boards
the hermit, a tall man, without hat or
coat, emerged from the hovel where he
had lived SO many years. He was ac-
companied by his sister, an old woman,
and their grief at being compelled to
leave their homo found expression in
loud cries, mingled with entreaties to
the marshal and his assistants. The
hermit himself was calmly cool, and
after talking with the officers he re-
turned to arrange for his final depart
ure. The property has been sold for
10000, which will be divided between
seven heirs, the hermit and his sister
being among them. Among the crowd
on the sidewalk Birch recognized
man whom he had not seen since the
latter was boy forty years ago. Tho
scene was a most pathetic one, and
much sympathy was expressed for tho
hermit and his sister, the moro so as it
is believed by some that in their ignor-
ance OF business affairs they have not
received fair value for their property.
