far rs has yet been ascprtaincd. has Just been
perpetrated by the heal of commits sion house
in this city which has heretofore been in good
repute. The party IN question is deacon in n
leading church, and has by his professions of pi
ETY. done much to gain the confidence of those
dealing with him.
The swindle was committed by checks which
were not provided for. The party left town on
Friday last, ostensby for the purpose of being
married in neghboring city. instead of which
he took with him fral sister compagnon de
voyage leaving behind him nnotl err one in con
diton to increase the census shortly. One Bank
is n sufferer to the extent OF $1,000 ard the re-
malnder of the amount is distributed among sew
era victims. A letter has been received from
this Don Juan stating that before the letter was
received he would be far ut sea. but this is sup
posed to be for the purpose of distracting alton
ton from his real destination, which is believed
to be Kansas"
1.-THE person alluded to above is named Mace,
late of the firm of Mace & Kenny, and now Mace
Il Coe, tobacco dealers in Front street. This
man, Mace, occupied II respectable standing in
society in Brooklyn, and was deacon and lead.
ing member of u fashionable church in that city
The lady with whom he eloped, we understands
a married woman, her husband having lett her
about year ago, at one of our principal hotels
in Broadway, whore she has been well known as
gay and attractive. 1t is supposed that Mace
has gone to Kansas, where he has some connec-
tons in high official positions in that territory
We understand his partner Mr.. Coe. is entirely
acquitted by the suffering creditors. of any par
