leans was on her outward-bound trip, she ran

suited in carrying away the bowsprit and

An Ex1ERpR1s1NG RAG-P1cKER.-Anol old Ger
man woman, named Dora Cerramuras, residing
at the corner of Adams and Zimple streets,
reported to Sergeant Chaumette that a rag
picker who was in the habit of coming around
her premises, by misrepresentation got into
her confidence and succeeded in palming off
on her a spurious coin, which he represented
to be $40 gold piece, and received from her
$40 IN greenbacks.
She was at the time unable to describe the
man, but stated that if she could see him
again she would be able to identify him. 1t
appears that about week ago the enterpris- |
ing rag picker discovered that the old woman |
intended going to Germany. Paying her a
visit, he inquired particularly with what kind Of
money she was provided, when she informed |
him that she had greenbacks.
He Immediately advised her to procure gold |
and silver, as paper money would not answer |
her purpose, and offered to provide her with |
some gold on some future day, in exchange |
for her greenbacks. He returned yesterday, |
and gave Mrs. Cerramuras what she took to be !
$50 gold piece, and went his way rejoicing.
Last night when the woman showed the
coin to some of her friends, she discovered
that she had been the dupe Of confidence
man, and had in exchange for her money
nothing but a composition coin known as a
''spiel marke.

sa ry instructions from Sergt. Chaumette.

his name as Jacob Haus. He is an old Ger
man, about sixty-6ve years old, and has fol-
lowed the ostensible vocation of rag-picker
for years.
