Swindling Sewing Machine Agent.

A sewing machine agent, named w.
F. Matthews, who has been doing bust
ness with the Howe machine office in
this city for the past five weeks, has
turned up swIndler. 1t seems that
Mathews has been in the habit of going
out on the road and reporting more ma
chimes sold than he really disposed of,
thereby getting per centum for unsold
machines. Yesterday the manager Of
the company became aware OF Mathews
swindllng operations, and swore out an
attachment before Squire Phillips for his
trunk and vslise. Mathews, however,
was none the less done for, and in an un-
guarded moment, stole out his vslise and
what things he wanted, and left for parts
unknown. He reported at the office as
usual yesterday morning, but when
wanted had sloped. 1t is said tina, the
whereabouts OF sll the machines reported
sold are known, with but one exception,
and that it Is probable this one is lost
