ACon,idence Onerator.

A successful and shrewd confidence game
was played upon Mrs. ]. Brodhead, at her
residence, 235 New Jersey avenue south
east, yesterday evening, by an unknown
white man, who rang the door bell, aud
when Mrs. Brodhead appeared handed her
an envelope marked Telegram" He then
demanded payment for the alleged tele-
gram (S1.35), before the envelope was
opened. The lady demurred at first, but
finally produced her pocket-book aud find
ing that $50 note was the
smallest she had, gave it to
the fellow, who volunteered to get it
changed at the corner. He failed, however,
to say which corner, and has not returned
up to this time. The telegram was of course
bogus, and purported to be from nephew
of Mrs. BIS in New York, asking for
money, as he was sick and destitute. The
police will be notified of the transaction.
