THE Pittsburgh Commercial, Of Saturday.
has the following: IA man named Will
liam johnson arrived 10 the city yesterday
by the way of the Allegheny Valley Rail-
road. William has resided at Oil City for
some months past, and receiving = large
sum Of money due him there, he concluded
to pay visit to the City Of Smoke, as he
termed It. Well be arrived, as stated.
some time during yesterday forenoon, and
for tho first time strolpd along the banks Of
the Allegheny river. An hour or so after.
wards, he r,turned to the depot, when he
was acoosted by two individuals who in
turn grasped him by the hanl and after
warmly shaking it asked him what
train he bad come down on. He replied
on the morning train and they told him
that they also had come down on the same
train. They talked about matters and
things at Oil City, and soon the two strau-
gers became fast friends OF johnson. They
visited saloons, drank together, and alter on
hour or so thus spent, parted, johnson
going towards the depot and the strangers
In The direction of Fifth street.
Ia less than au hour afterwards, johnson.
while seated on Canal street near the river.
was approached by three persons--the two
strangers whom he met at the depot and a
third person who appe ared to have them 10
custody. One of them took johnson aside
and pretending to be drunk Informed him
that while in store on Fifth Avenue, he
had fallen against an elegant show case,
the glass Of which had been completely de.
molished. He had attempted to sly" but
the policeman nabbed him and bis partner
and took them to the watch house. The
proprietor Of the store where the damage
bad been done would let them off provided
they paid fifty dollars to repair the case and
the costs. They wanted 10 return to Oil
City to-day, but unless the money was paid
to the policeman who accom- panied them,
there was little chance of their getting oil,
andjthey woald have to go to jail. II John.
son would pay the amount-$55-it would
be returned as soon as they got hack to Oil
City. Johnson finally consented to release
them from their trouble, and the supposed
officer was paid $55. He immed lately de-
parted, and soon after the two strangers
started TO get shaved preparatory to going
back to Oil City. They left johnson sit
ting on Canal street, promising to return
In half an hour. johnson saw nothing
more Of them although he watched eagerly
Tor them, when every train departed. Late
last evening be informed gentleman at

surprised TO learn that it was put up job,
