Warning to Business Men.
One Of the worst species Of crime known to
the police, and one too, which very often anects
innocent persons, Is the uttering OF counterfeit
money; and Notwithstanding the efforts Of on
clals 10 break up the traric It presents such
splendid opportunities for gain that men skilled
IN the art Of engraving and parties who have
ever borne blameless reputation among their
fellow-Citlzens, are led to engage In II by the
splendid Inducements ever held out by the dis
honest for obtaining wealth speedily. The Gov
eminent, with Its practiced corps Of officers, Is
daily making arrests for this crime Of manufac-
turing and passing spurious money, and the de-
tectlyes In the several cities never let an oppor.
tunity pass Of bringing to punishment those
guilty Of the offence; but with all this there Is
such a fascination in the idea Of getting rich
quickly that parties are always found In any city
ready TO take the chances Of arrest, conviction
and punishment for the sake u the certain gain
In the event Of success.

discovered, and the detectives are led to believe
that an sttemrt has been made to flood this city

facts OF the case, as Tar as developed, are as
follows:
on Tuesday Edward Brown, cOIOrcd, driver
for McClIntocks i express company, went into the
restaurant Of Ell. Schwartzlnherg, on Pcnnsy-
vanla avenue, between Four-and-a-haIf and
sixth Streets and asked for q glass Of lager. The
beverage was furnished, and he offered $40 bill
In payment, which was taken and the proper
change given In return. Yesterday morning the
proprietor Of the saloon went to the bank TO
make a deposit, aud the tlO bill was pronounced
a counterfeit.
Knowing from whence 1t came, Mr.. \. pro-
ceeded In search Of the man who had passed II
on him, anil finding him, took him to police
headquarters, where Detective COombs searched
him and found upon his person $500 Of bad money.

chief ClaryOe took charge Of the matter In
person, and proposes to make further lnyesti-
cation to-day. lie thinks there are others IN the
city interested IN the game, AMI he proposes that
all who are guilty shall be brought 10 Justice.
The chief has had considerable experience In
this line, and the public may rest assured that
aided by the gentlemen Of the corps, he will sue

venting further imposition in this line.
