INsOLENCE OF TRANPs.
These Worthless Fellows Annoy and
Endnnger Women and Children.

The people Of Church Hill have been
greatly annoyed OF late by tramps. These
worthless fellows go 10 residences I'm the
middle OF the day when they think no
man is in the house, and knocking rough
~ at the door. demand food and often
clothing. Those at hOme-unprotecte ed
women and childrcn-are afraid not 10
obey, and not infrequently inconvenience
themselves with the hope of getting the
dirty men away Another trick Of these
men is TO step inside when the servant
goes back to carry his message 10 her
mistress, and helping himself to UNI
brellas. overcOats. or anything in sight
which can be pawned. 10 beat hasty
retreat before he is detected.
Sunday rcpulsive-looking mulattO
went TO the residence of Mr. Charles Q.
GoOde. No. 2414 east Marshall street. and
asked the child who answered his ring
for food. The little girl went back TO see
her mother. In the mean time the negro
went I'm and took "a seat in the parlor.
There was no man in the house at the
time but the female servant coming into
the hall was mistaken by her walk for
man. and the negro fed. He demanded
money Of the little girl. and had he not
beat such a hasty retreat u would be
hard 10 tell what he would have done.
This Is just one case among many with
which not only the citizens Of Church Hill
but every part of the city have TO con-
tend.
