AN OLD GAME ON TIE HILL.
A Clever Swindler Sets Butcher
Msrquaadt's Money.

A well dressed young man walked into
Marquandt's butcher shop on Montgom-
cry street near Bergen avenue, Saturday
afternoon, and ordered a quantity of
meat and poultry. He said that he wished
the order to be delivered at once to No.
100 F'airmount avenue. He told Mar
quandt to send the change of assl0 bill
along with the boy, as his wife was too
III to go out and change 1t herself
This was done, and when the youngster
arrived with the meat and change at the
address given he found the man who left
the order standing in the doorway The
boy suspected nothing and handed both
over to the man, who then apparently
went upstairs. The boy waited for a
half hour for the SO bill and his basket
and then went to see the janitor
The Janitor knew no man of the de-
scription the boy gave and both then
made search. The basket full of meat
was found in the back yard No trace
Of the smooth spoken stranger was dis
covered and his only manner of getting
away unnoticed was to climb the rear
fence and cut across lots. The police
were notified and Marquandt gave them
the best description he could of the
swindler, but small hopes are entertained
for his apprehension.

There appears to be nothing the matter

When morning came the mercury was
down in the bulb almost as far as it
could get without evolving itself into
nothing, and the indications were that
the quicksilver would kees, on falling and
that tomorrow would be remarkably cold
In fact, zero weather, which comes bat
rarely to this city, is promised for to-
night and early tomorrow, and there
should be any amount of skating in a
very short time. AS for warm weather,
there is no such thing; at least there
lsnil on the map of the weather Of the
coun.ry.
The cold waye, of which this city is now
enjoying. its fair share, is almost the
most extensive ever known
It extends all over the country east of
the Rocky Mountains, with the exception

When. the, citizen got out of doors at
elght O'Clock this morning the tempera-
ture was down to six degrees above zero
An hour earlier than that, however, it
mad been down to FIVE degrees above

mometer has recorded this winter
Up in Albany, at O'Clock this morning

Mr.. Dunn says it will be very cold for
a few days. 1t will be colder tonight than
it is now, and tomorrow zero weather
will be here to stay for some time
Tonight should be the coldest night of
the winter and tomorrow will be the
coolest day of this winter if Mr.. Dunn
is to be believed.
Skating, in his opinion, should be good
tomorrow, and should last for some days
anyhow.
It is clear almost all over the country,

There is no warm wave in sight any
