A Firehnr over-Renched.

THE most barefaced scheme OF robbery
that has ever happened in our city" re-
marked Mr.. ]. p Black of Philadelphia 10
a writer for the Cincinnati Enquirer, "oc-
CURED last summer. An old man, well off
in this worlds goods but very avaricious,
was the possessor of an OLD, ramshackle
frame building in too bad state of repair
to be habitable, and he was thinking Sc
riously Of having it torn down and build
ing a new house. One day while leaving
the premises he met a young fellow who
was lounging about on the Sidewalk.
" Pity that old place don't burn down!
remarked the young man.
"'Why@ asked The old fellow sharply.
IS oh, ! don't know. 1t doesn't seem
good for much. I suppose it is insured?
Yes. l insure all of my property an
swered the old man.
The young fellow kept step with the Old
man until they reached a saloon, ana then
invited. him TO take a drink.
In a few minutes the young man I'M
folded a scheme that caused the old fellow
to open his eyes TO their fullest extent. He
then produced a small tablet with num-
Der of addresses written upon it, which he
handed to the old gentleman, who scanned
the paper eagerly.
And did all of these burn down? he
asked.
' Within the past month"; calmly an
swerd the young man. I can show you
the ruins of all of them. Every one was
insured, and all were painted with my
preparation
An appointment was made, and two
days later the old gentleman met the young
fellow, who handed him quart bottle of
colorless fluid in exchange for five one
hundred-dolar notes. The old man fever
ishly grasped the bottle and left Two
days later the neighbors were surprised
TO see painters erect a scaffolding about
the old house and begin to paint II. The
day the painting was finished the old
gentleman purchased a ticket and left for
Chicago. Ten days later he returned,
and, it is said, has been very grim and
tacturn ever since.
The young man had sold him prepar-
alton to place in the paint which would
cause the paint to ignite of itself two days
after it was thoroughly dry and while the
owner was far away on business and
seemingly could have no connection with
the confla grafton. The young man was
a gorgeous fraud. The house is still va
cant and looks very CHASTITY in its decayed
condition with its gay covering of new
paint. and the old mans friends are won
dering what caused him TO loosen his
purse strings to the extent of the paint
