tcnsively throughout the country was
brought to hight to-day by the victims
discovery Of the usual brick IN the box in
stead OF the spurious money he had pur-
chased. A young man giving his name as
J. W. Coon. OF Fairfax. ;. O., called &c de,

said he had been swindled out or S5Oo
by sharpers In New York. The swindlers
had pursued their usual method with Coon
of sending him circulars setting forth Ia
glowing terms how ne could become
wealthy for comparatively small outlay.
Coon took the bait, and after some cor
respondence, went TO Baltimore, where he
was met by q steerer" and taken to New
York. There he WAS introduced 10 the
principals in the affair, and paid SoV) LOT
what he thought was $4,000 WORTH OF
counterfeit money. On his way over mere

he would crafty himself by taking
look at his purchase. The look
did not produce the pleasant sensa-
tons he had anticipated, for IN tne
box that he believed held the $4,000 IN
counterfeits was common clay brick
carefully wrapped in white paper. After

been the victim. Coon remained Ia state
of mental collapse until the train arrived
in this city. when he recovered sufficiently
to make his way to the police authorities
and inform them of his loss. He finally
decided, however, that he had spent
enough OF his money in New York, and re-
sumed his journey to Fairfax, 5. q.
