Haines Street
Haines Street is a narrow street that runs for one block, east from St. John Street to 837 South 6th Street, between Division Street and Spruce Street. The south side of Haines Street began with the rear of Ss. Peter & Paul Roman Catholic Church, and then a row of ten houses, numbered 522 through 540. The north side of Haines Street had the rear of 548 to 576 Division Street. The houses on Haines Street first appear in City Directories in 1884. The street was not listed in the 1872 directory.
There was still one occupied house on Haines Street as late as 1980. All of the homes on Haines Street are now gone. The street itself is intact and there is a street sign on the corner of South 6th Street and Haines Street.

Midnight Robbers Turned on the Rescuer

MIDNIGHT ROBBERS TURNED ON THE RESCUER
Steal Her Purse When She Goes to Rescue of Another Victim.
TRIO OF SUSPECTS ARRESTED ON CAR
In a bold attempt in an audacious attack by three foot-pads shortly after midnight this morning, Anna R. McDonald, of 531 Haines street, was herself made a victim of the brazen and merciless highwaymen.
Mrs. McDonald was on her way home from a visit at the time of her thrilling experience. She was passing the corner of Ferry street and Walnut street when she heard the appealing voice of a man in muffled tones ring out:
“Don't take that,” the voice pleaded. “That's my dead brother's chain. You can have anything else.”
Mrs. McDonald looked in the direction from whence the sounds came and saw three men pummeling another under a arc light and ransacking his pockets.
“Stop that you thieves! stop that, I say,” shouted the plucky woman, who is big and strongly built, as she waded into the struggling men to the rescue of the victim.
Startled for a moment at this sudden interruption to their scoundrelly work, one of the robbers turned on the woman and snatched from her hand a purse containing $2.48. Then the three scoundrels took to their heels, running in the direction of Ferry street towards the New York shipyard.
Mrs. McDonald let loose a lusty scream which was heard by Policemen Miles and Rose, who rushed to her rescue. Miles and Rose made a search of the blank field back of the Emerson base ball grounds, but could find no trace of the scoundrels. Meeting a farmer on Broadway the policemen told him of the trouble, and asked to pass his wagon. He said he saw three men running towards Newton creek bridge.
A few minutes later the light of a Ford machine illuminated the dark form and they were taken into custody — the trio being Mrs. McDonald's assailants. Camden is $2.48 in money were found on the men when searched. The men acknowledged to drinking absinthe for a month and had heard nothing of the affair. The others denied any knowledge of the robbery.
In Police Court today Mrs. McDonald identified the trio, including the big, broad-shouldered man who snatched the purse from her hand when she went to the rescue of their male victim.
The prisoners were charged before Recorder Stackhouse committed the prisoners without bail to answer a charge of larceny from the person. The trio was held on the robbery charge, meaning Mrs. McDonald interfered when they robbed the other man. They were last seen legging it down Ferry avenue towards Kaighn's Point ferry.
