DARING FEMALE ROBDER.

&CO., BROKEN INTO.
A Negro Woman Attempts a
Bold Robbery In Broad
Daylight and Narrow
ly ESbapes Arrest

Lena Simmons, colored, is the
boldest thief that has struck
Goldsboro in some time. She
broke into a rear windeo~ of Cas-
texts store yesterday and stoe a
quantity of high priced ready
made dresses, some millinery and
shoes. She entered the store by
breaking a glass in the upper
window frame aud then removing
the stick which held the lower
frame down. She then raised
the window and went in and took
what she wanted.
The woman was noticed by
Chief of Police Freeman when
she emerged from the alley in the
rear of Castex's store. She had
a teles cope Ia one hand and a
bundle of band boxes in the other.
The Chief knew the woman and
knew that it was unusual for her
to go around with 30 much per-
sonal property. He asked her
where she got the packages and
she replied that Mr.. Castex had
given them to her and told her to
carry them up to his residence.
The fact that all this was taking
place in the broad open day time
while the people were going to
church did not satisfy the Chief,
who watched to see where Lena
went to and then, after finding
Douglass Creech, a clerk in the
store, who said that the woman
had not been given any bundles,
the Chief followed the woman to
the alley in the rear Of the fsh
market. Here the Chief and Of
fcer Fulghum found the telescope
filed with fine dresses and dress
material and also found the hat
boxes on the outside of the build
ing in which the telescope was
found. The goods were taken,
but Lena was not to be found. She
had evidently smelled a mouse, as
the officers could find no trace OF
her anywhere. She had disapr
peared in so short a time az COM
pletely as if the ground had part
ed under her feet aud let her drop

Tappan, n. y, two buildings,
In which were enacted the most
stirring drama of the Revolution.
In one, then, as now, low-set
stone house. with great gables and
long, low-hanglng caves, George
Washington paced up and down for
five mortal hours on the second day
of October. 1880, awaiting the fatal
moment when Major John Andre
should be executed. The great com
mander was alone that day, with
doors locked and shutters barred,
fighting out the most momentous
crisis oi his life. Ficrcely the conflict

du2y ana inclination.
In the other, still intact. and in al-
most the same condition as 1t was
one hundred and twenty years ago,

death. The front paror of this "'76

True, Andre was spy, caught in the

Pity was strong within him. but the

The incident occurred on the Little

the party a once took small boat
and started in search of the game.
resolved to take the cub alive and keep
it foI a pet.
They proceeded up the creek for a
hundred yards or more. Then, hastily
clambering up the bluff, they soon
found the cub In "A recess OF the rocks,

This suited the hunters very wei,

mood. BY means of rope, they Sc
cured the cub without difficulty. but
when they began 10 drag il down the
cliff il made a noisy protest, and by
the time the men entered the boat
with their prize. they discovered the
old bear bounding downward in pur-
suit. Just al the mouth of the creel,
a large rock projected over the water,
and toward inls point the bear ad-

Several shots were fred at her. but
not one took effect. The men thought
