The following from the New York
Herald of the (ith explains itself. Mr
Hart is u brother of our townsman, Mr.
M. F. Hart, and is one ofthe most pop
ular travelling salesman in this country.
His many friends everywhere will sympa
thize with him in his loss:
"Seth P. Hart, a travelling salesman
iu the employ of Eliel Louchhciui and
Haas, wholesale clothiers, is popular
among the down town drummers, and is
considered as "one of tho boys."
It has just leaked out that he was
"buncoed," that, in fact, he was given a
"knocker out" drink aud relieved of
money and jewelry to the value of 81, 500'
by two plausible strangers, who havo
since disappeared.
That Seth, who is supposed to be "up
to all the tricks of the trude," familiar
with all the "dodges" of "bunco" men
and "sharpers," should have fallen a vic
tim astonished his friends, but it was true,
nevertheless,
He told his story in the lobby of a
Broadway hotel yestct day. It was noised
abroad, and throughout the day many
salesmen from various Broadway stores
called on him and made him repeat the
tale until he felt that life was a burden
ti... u,.,.,i" L;n. ! i!,',,, l.n .,.;,) I
"7 ""i "v o
could make him feel any worse lhan he
did over the loss of so much personul
property, and iu such u manner.
DRUOtlED HIM, HE HAYS.
This was how he says it happened:
He strolled into tho Broadway Cenlral
Hotel Saturday evening at seven o'clock.
He wore two diamond solitaire rings, a
diamond scarf pin aud a handsome gold
watch and chain. Ho carried but a small
amount of money with him, about 830,
having left his "bank roll" at the Colon
nade Hotel, where he lives.
Ho was approached by two well dressed
middled aged strangers. One of them
seized his hand and exclaimed:
"Why, hello, Seth, old man; how's
business these days?"
Mr. Hart did not recognize cither of
their, but supposing them to bo custo
mcrs he had met in his travels, did not
like to appear forgetful, so ho remarked:
"Oh, business is so-so; are you doing
anything iu our line?"
The plausible stranger was, of course,
and so the party adjourned to the hotel
bar. They continued to chat freely on
various lories, Mr. Hart wondering, the
while, where he had met them before.
The party then went into the barroom
of tho Now York Hotel next door.
There the plausible strangers ordered an
other round of drinks.
After that Mr. Hart's mind was a blank
for several hours. He heard strains of
music and strange voices and was dimly
conscious of wandering aimlessly about
in unknown localities.
The night clerk and porter ofthe Col
onnade Hotel discovered hira at ten
o'clock thai nicht sleeping peacefully in
the lobby of the Lafayette place entrance
to the hotel. They took him to his room
and, after much difficulty, succeeded in
restoring him to consciousness.
"Great Scott, buncoed!" remarked Mr.
Hart, with his returning consciousness.
Hi watch. ring and scarfpin, valued nt
81,f00, were missing. His money was
also gone.
Ho reported his loss to Inspector
McLaughlin at Police Headquarter yes-i
terday.
"It was a pretty toiijih deal," he said
when I saw him yesterday, lie describ
ed the affair, as lold above, and exhibited
a massive gold wuteh chain, ut the end of
which dangled a buneh of keys.
"What puzales mo, he soul, "is that
the thieves did not take my watch ehaiu.
It's worth 80. They relieved me of ev
erything else, though."
Mr. Hart haa given an accurate de
scription of the men who robbed him to
the police. They wero both, he said,
very well dressed, suave of manner and
plausible in their speech.
