To the Editor Of THE EVENING SrAn:
For the protection Of the community feel
it nv duty to inform it through the columns of
your widely read paper of IA new phase of rob-
berry. Last Thursday afternoon a stylishly
dressed woman, leading little girl stopped in
front OF my house on 9th street near NJ asking
my nine year-old daughter. who was playing in
the street. for the privilege of letting her
little girl use our bath room. The woman by
her genteel appearance, made such favorable
impression on my daughter that she at once
! showed the woman and girl the way up stairs
to the bath room. After her departure we
found she had taken along nearly everything
in the room but the bath tub. That was rather
too bulky to conceal under her styishly cut
dress. We now find ourselves minus soap,
hair brushes combs, tooth brushes. children 8
night robes. hose, shoes and slippers, dresses,
&c. The only thing left behind besides the
bath tub were the towels. which the thief ev-
identity intends calling for later. after they
have been washed and ironed. Look out for
the bathroom iend. Pro BoSo PUBLICo,

She Runs a Steam Engine.

From the Chicago Herald.
To see a woman running an engine In real
life is a genuine novelty. TIE fair Sex
occasionally run engines in novels, on the
stage, and SO on, but a real, live female
engineer is new sensation. or course, this
one is in Chicago, and. of course, she is
young and pretty. They always are. The
romance of the case is, however, cut out by
the cold-blooded announcement that she is
not doing it to save a husband, lover or
fathers life or liberty. She is purely
mercenary. The stipend drawn at the end
of each week is all that she is after. Her
name is not known. Perhaps this is where
the romantic part comes in. Perhaps other
wise Be this or that as it may, she is flesh
and blood reality. When a reporter for the
Herald called at the place where this novel
ty works he stated his business to young
lady clerk, and asked to see the woman who
runs the engine.
"A lady is our engineer" Uttered the
clerk, "but she is busy and can't see any
reporters"
Can she be seenP was asked
NO" was the answer. ''She will see nc
| one, unless it is an examiner of engineers
and then she will be found ready and anx
ious to answer all questions"
The lady engineer, as she is styled, has
had charge OF the Bee Hive Laundry engine
for about three years, during which time she
has had no trouble and has apparently beer
well able to attend to all the duties devolv-
ing upon her. Her principal claim fol
competency, however, is that she has taken
her engine apart and placed it togethe,
again without seriously damaging its COM
ponent parts or detracting from its power
Questions to be propounded to her by the
reporter were furnished by an engineer, but
she declined to answer any questions at al
unless they came from the board of engin-
GERS. These queries were regarding her
knowledge of how TO figure on her safety
valve, her boilers horsepower, and her
engines horsepower. That she can demon
strate properly on all these intricacies sht
does not doubt, and is anxious to have tbs
board of examiners pass on her case.

A FURIOUS STORM.

lightning Wrecks a House but It's
Occupants Escape Death.
APALACHICoLA, FLA. Sept. 5.-A terrific
thunder storm passed over the city about
O'Clock Wednesday morning. Lightning
struck and almost demolished the Alabama
house. twostory building on the corner of
Center and Commerce streets. 1t ia re-
markable that every occupant of the house
was not instantly xii ed. The subtle current
passed through every room in the house, in
which there was ono or more occupants, and
not one was hurt beyond a general
shaking up.
A MANS NARROW ESCAPE.
In one room there were two bedsteads,
one of which was occupied by a man, who
will never realize, perhaps, his narrow es-
cape from death. The unoccupied bed was
torn into splinJers and scarcely a piece of it
two feet long can be found. In another
room just across narrow aisle another
man had a marvellous escape. In this room
the mantelpiece was hurled across the foot
of the bed and every table aud chair in it
was upturned. The pavilion over his bed
was heaped in huge pile on his face, and
as to how and when it was done the man
pleads pardonable ignorance.
THE HOUSE A WRECK.
The house is a comlete wreck, and will be
rebuilt. Two other buildings received
slight bolts. The Marine hospital was par
