Neatly Captured.

The Hoboken police made clever cap
ture of duet of swindlers shortly after
one O'Clock today. The old f1im-ham
game had been worked successfully in the
Fourth Ward during the past few days,
but to-day the swindlers are behind the
bars.
About one o'clock a well dressed
stranger entered James Patricks' saloon
on Grand street. He asked the bartender
for five dollar bill in exchange for two
two dollar bills and a one dollar bill, but
as the bartender did not have it in the
drawer the stranger left.
Tom Fitzpatrick, formerly a ell-known
politician, happened to be in the saloon at
the time, and remarked to the bartender
that the stranger looked pretty slick, and
he went outside of the saloon to watch
him.
The stranger went into half a doz en-
places on the block and then met another
fellow on the corner of First street, when
they went into hallway presumably to
balance accounts Fitzpatrick had seen
enough to convince him that the fellows
were swindlers, and beckoning to Police
man Murray he had them arres ted.

Store Closed and Money Gone.

They Ate the Sergeant's Melon.
Yesterday afternoon an admirer of Ser
geant Edmonston. of the Hoboken police,
sent ripe and juicy watermelon to the
police station. Attached to the water
melon was tag on which was printed
the sergeant's name. When the water
melon arrived Ronndsman Tanning was
behind the desk. Shortly after DR.. Simon
stepped in, and looking at the water
melon. conceived the idea that it was
about time TO repay the sergeant for a
joke which had been worked on him on
New Years day. Calling Charlie Ger
man, the janitor, he ordered him in a
brusque manner to take the melon out
and cut it up and bring it back behind
the desk.
Charlie, never suspecting who the
owner of the melon was, brought it to his
refrigerator aud pretty soon returned
with it nicely sliced. It did not take long
before there was nothing left of the melon
but the outside coverings. These were
placed III plate and the card with Ser
geant Edmonston's name on it attached.
When Edmonston went on the desk at
nine O'Clock his rage knew no bounds
He called Charlie and after learning what
had happened nearly frightened him to
death. He threatened to swear ou a
warrant for DIR. Simon and it is said that
the genial NJ. d. has left the State.
