On Saturday afternoon, says the Louis.
willie Courier Journal, man, evidently a
stranger IN these parts, entered the
undertaking establishment of Smith
Brothers, vi jefferson street, and ordered
a twenty dollar coffin prepared for burial,
with shrOud, &C., giving directions as to
the dimensions aud the necessary ar
Engagements. The cofiir was prepared
after a short time, and the man offered
as pay a check for $50 ON the City
National Bank, payable to Charles
Bailey or bearer, aud signed hy James A.
Clark, saying al the time he presented IL
that he would call the next morning
Mr.. Smith glanced at the cheek, aud see
ing that II was rather awkwardly written,
aad suspectiug that trick was about to
be played 90 him, refused to receive the
check, and the stranger, after making
some promises to call again with the
money, left the house.
A short while afterward he called at
the establishment of Mr. j. &. King aud
ordered a coihu worth $40 and gave In
siructiOns similar to those given at Mr..
smiths. After his order was taken down
by Mr.. King the stranger remarked that
he had no money just then, but would 20
ont 10 some Of his friends aud get enough
to pay for the collin.
Half an hour aitorward he returned
and presented the same check which he
had offered 10 Mr.. Smith. MIR. King
thought the check wore rather a doubtful
appearance, but the nature Of the mer-
chandise for which It was presented, and
the solemn circumstances under which
the business was transacted, threw the
gentleman oil his guard. The man had
promised ~ come after the coffin next
morning and Mr.. King, doubting not that
funeral would then take place, gave
the nan $40 In change.
The fellow took the money and departed,
but has not yet returned for his collin /;
neither has he been seen ia this city since
Saturday evening. lie has been heard
from, however, and, from the information
received by tue detectives yesterday, he
has been operating In Jacksonville on a
much more extensive scale, having, by
the same device, swindled an undertaken
there out of about $50 in cash.
Yesterday morning MIR. King went 10
the bank with the check, when he learned
that II was a base forgery and that he
had been swudled by one OF the coolest
customers that ever called for a collin.

ing these rules or any rules binding, or

committee OF Congress might confer with
the service board during the present sus-

will secure the services of honest and
