powdered herself with some sort of velou'

DUpaD By BARS OF BRAss-An old man

DUpED By BARS OF BRASS old man,
scventy.seven years of age, whose long gray
hair reminded one. of Rip Van Wrinkle
coming down the mountain after his long
sleep, tottered into the deposit room Of the
United States Mint. at Philadelphia, day
or two ago with what he believed to be two
gold bars valued at $4,000. A casnal ez-
animation revealed that they were copper,
covered with powder to initiate gold, and
a poor imitation at that. The old man,
John B. Chapman, of Adam Postoffce, JET
ferson county. upon being told the fact was
overcome and sank helplessly into chair.
he had advanced $1,000, the savings forty
years, on the bars of brass. The sharpers
won their way to the confidence of Chap
man, and finally asked him to advance the
money on the bars, which they claimed be-
ioDged TO deceased friend from the West.
In order to advance the money the old
farmer had to borrow money and mortgage
his farn in Jefferson county. Il. Y. The
swind!ers played their confidence game
cleverIy. After getting s5 coo they accom-.
panied him from his home TO Utica, n. Y,
where he paid the balance. a confederate
then accompanied him to the Pennsylvania
depot at Broad and Market streets, Phls-
delphia, when be also gave him the slip.
The old farmer was absolutely penniless,
but Henry s. Cochrane, the weighing clerk,
bdught him ticket for Utica and he will
return home.
About two months ago a similar swindle
was perpetrated on Virginia farmer. He,
too brought his spurious bars to the mint.
The bars are about fifteen inches long, six
wide and five thick.
