How Two sharpers Secured Thirty Dol,
lars.

Yesterday afternoon, in the Eastern railroad
station, gentleman from the northern part of
the State was awaiting the train which was to
bear him towards home. He was accosted by
an elderly party of respectable appearance aud
the two entered into conversation. The gen.
tleman told his new found friend that he was
going to Waterville, whereupon the obigpg
elderly gentleman offered him a ride ON his
pass, which was good for two persons. The in
vitation was accepted, aud upon the PROPOSE
tion OF the elderly gentleman the couple took q
walk. When on Park street, young fellow
aecosted the man with the pass, and said that
his machinery was all on board the cars and
the freight charges we're thirty dollars. AS
the owner did not have thirty dollars in cash,
1t was loaned hm by tho gentleman bound
east. But when the party reached the station
it was fousd necessary that the machinery
should be examined. The lender of the money
received as secarity for his thirty dollars a
check for $8l0, drawn on the First National
Bank of this city. The check was written on
the printed fC rms Of the bank, was made paya-
BILE to Henry s. Bentley or bearer, and was
signed by Moulton r. Marquise. The check
was properly endorsed by Bentley. Having
given the gentleman this check, the elderly
party and the young man started to examine
the machinery, and did not return, The hold
or of the check became alarmed at their nom
appearance, and showed the paper to Officer
Hanson, who promptly pronounced 1t worth
less
The gentleman, therefore, is thirty dollars
out, while the two shsrpers have made that
sum by their afternoons work. The same
game has been worked ia New York, and only
a short time ago an account Of its practice by
swindlers appeared in the newspapers. The
forged check was well gotten up, and the men
worked like professional swindlers, which they
probably were.

The Missing Ynrsetxau.

The German steamer VorBetzen, which left
this port Feb II, and is now overdue at HAM
burg, is thought to be lost. Steamers which
left port at the same time as the Vorsetzen ex-
pefienced tempestuous voyages. and many of
them had more or less severe accidents to rig
ging and machinery. The Vorsetzen is owned
by German company, and came here as an
extra boat. She had cargo OF peas and bar
ley, and carried crew of 26 men. Capt. Lut-
gems, the commanding officer, was seaman Of
unquestioned ability, and long experience.
The Vorsetzen was freighter, carrying no
passengers. The steamer was nearly new hay
ing been built but about two or three years,
and was regarded as staunch sea boat. 1t is
barely possible that she may yet reach port,
but the probabilities are that she has founder
ed in one of the terrible gales, carrying down
the crew
