Same Old Swindle.

A swindling scheme being worked
in Minnesota at the present time is as
follows: A young couple stop at a
farm house at about night fall,
and let fall the information that they
are on the way to some town not
far from there to be married Of
course the people who are entertain
ing them at once take an interest in
them, and make them feel perfectly
at home. Along in the evening an
other stranger stops at the same
place, and also asks for lodging, and
lit turns out the last stranger is a
minister. He is told about the
couple who are there with the inten-
Ition of driving to the next town to
Iget married, and it does not take
long to arrange to Have the cere-
mony performed right there. The
minister is introduced to the blushing
pair, and in due form the marriage
rites are performed. The minister
draws up a marriage license, and the
host and hostess sign it as witnesses;
and the next morning all three drive
away. The next time the host gets
his mail he finds that the bank has
honored a draft for a thousand dol
lars in favor of the young nan who
stayed at his place, on the ground of
a bill of sale which they held of a
farm, said bill of sale being duly
signed by himself and wife. And be
finds that the marriage certificate
has turned out to be a good strong
bill of sale of the home farm. One
wealthy farmer in Mimi esota cashed
up two thousa nd on a deal Of this
kind. The same old moral seems to
hold good in the case of marriage
certificates that holds good with
everything else; not to sign a name
on any paper for delivery into the
hands of strangers.

asIRue1llE FIRE IN gROogl YIN.
Half Million Dollar Fire Consumes
Paint Works of Devoe and C..
E. Reynolds Company.

New York, Feb. IA destructive
IRE broke out tonight in the extensive
paint works OF f. W. DeFoe & G. q.
REYNOLDS Company, in Brooklyn.
The FIRE started from some. unknown
cause, ard owing to the highly inaam-
naable character OF che contents OF the
5uildings the works were soon destroy
ed. The fremen directed their efforts
10 preventing the spread Of the FIRE TO
adjacent property, consisting OF tene-
nent houses :,
The building occupied by the paint
works was stored with large quantities
OF OIL and chemicals, it being stated
that mere than one thousand barrels OF
Enseed oil were stored on the main
Hoors and cellar Of the plant.
Great fears were for time enter
tanned for the safety of the Brooklyn
Union Gas COMPANY works, located
inst across the street from the fire.
There were six large gas tanks flied
with gas and these we're safely emptied
By pumps which distributed the gas to
other reservoirs. These works, how
ever, were saved. Over one hundred
fsnilies we're evicted from the tene-.
5ments and given temporary refuge by
sneighbors.
There was no loss Of life. It is be-,
lieyea that the loss will be between
s4D0, 900 and $500, 600, on which there
is said TO be $3.50, COO insurance.
