A young man from certain town out
the Baltimore & Ohio road In West Vir-
ginla, about 100 miles from Wheeling,
came to this city yesterday In chase OF
an Ell Dorado Of greenbacks. He expect
ed to exchange $3.50 In good money for
$500 In green goods" OF quality that
1t was claimed would deceive Uncle
Sam hfmself-instead, he gave up his
ssso and got In exchange an envelope
filled with brown paper.
1t was the same old story. The young
man had been In correspondence with
the green goods people off and on for
two years. and finally came to Wheel
Ing by appointment yesterday to ex-
change $3.50 for $4,000. Before he came
to Wheeling, however, one of the two
swlndlers who were engineering the job
went out to the town In West Virginia
where the victim lives. and arranged
for the meeting here.
The swindlers. who are two well
dressed individuals who have been stop
'pIh6 a. lie 44OlSl W loI uuOul u
week. met their victim and accompanied
him to the hotel, and the deal was talk
ed about ut some length. Finally, the
mans S350 was placed in an envelope,
which the pair took charge OF. but a
few minutes later they handed back the
envelope Cor what the Victim supposed
was the same envelope) and proposed
that he keep his money until he and one
Of the pair could go to the Adams Ex-
press office and get the green goods"
that was to figure In the transaction.
This was done, and the two went to the
express office.
Just here the swlndle was completed.
The man who accompanied the rural
West Firyiniant to the express office, eX-
cused himself on some pretext, promis-
Ing to return In minute or two-but
he never came back, and after waiting
nearly two hours the victim came to
the conclusion that he had been swim
died. His first act was to look after
his money. Hurriedly tearing open the
envelope he found 1t contained nothing
but brown paper-the swindlers had
kept the envelope containing the $3.50
and had given their victim exactly what
he deserved for engaging in such
shady notwithstanding.
The ruralite has returned home q
wiser and sadder man.
Chief Clemans was called in on the
case, but too late to capture the swind-
lers, who had, of course. hurrledly left
the city Immediately upon fleeing their
victim. They had been stopping at the
Windsor week or more, and had been
seen by the police, who. however, be-
lleved they were engaged In legitimate
business

To tho Editor OF the Intelligencer.
SIR:-Allow me to think a little in

strikers are standing out for Is nine
teen cents an hour and nine hours
day. This Is what they call q living
wage, and they say they cannot afford
to accept anything else. and that Is
why the strike continues. But II they
gain what they ask. they will be worse
off than II theV took what the COM
pany offers. Nine times nineteen cents
is 81 Il. the daily wages they ask.
Twelve times seventeen and one-halt
cents is 81 10. the daily wage the COM
pany offers. Isn't it plain beyond a
doubt. first. that there Is no toundn-
ton for any such Giving wage" argu-
ment. and second. that the strike lead

the strike-leaders think that by the

force the public to support them. al
though they may think the men are
asking what is unjust. Second. that

there Is more or less reason In one or
the other OF these suggestions. II so,
what are we going 10 do about It? Sup

OF the strike-leaders. aren't you Just a
