Attempted Swindle A rreat : of IM
Two colored individuals, named , Jake
liutoq and Charlie Q wens, were arrested ;
yesterday afternoon on; the charge, ef at-.
tempting to swindle a colored brother froni
Rocky Point, or that neighborhood, by the
name, of .John Mclntire. : It seema that
Jake Hinton met Mclntire on the wharf
and proposed to .'sell him:a gun. After
talking about the-matter' awhile Hinton im
vited Mclntire 'to accompany him to the,'
old postefflce alley, which proposition thei
alter acceded to. After proceeding some
distance in the alley Hinton halted and
drew a package of photograph' cards from
his pocket, proposing to Mclntire to draw
from the package and 'see if he could get
the prize card; but Mc. didn't show much
disposition to dabble in 'such matter;. HirJ-
too then gave a peculiar whistle, which was
followed by the appearance on the ground
of" his confederate, Charley Owens, , who
proposed to bet the country brother that
he could nut draw the. prize card.
Mclntire declined. Informing the delectable
pair that he had heard of - such tricks be
fore, and that he , had noT disposition to in
vest. While this scene was going on, the
two professors of 'string-garae" continuing
to banter their would-be victim,' with the
lopejthat some of his hard-earned green
backs would yet come within their grasp,
there had been an unobserved witness of
the attempted swindle in the person of
Charles Mallett, Jr., who quietly slipped
off and informed officer W. H. Howe of
the facts. In the iuterval, the parties in the
alley separated, the two swindlers making
an eiijH:' mi-nt with Melntire to meet him
again on t:?e wiiarl. iinuon anu uwens
priK-i-i-ded up Market street to some point
betwreu Front and -Second, where they
am down on an empty goods box to con
sult as to their future movements. ' Here
they were found by officer Howe and h4
colleague, Mallett, when they were arrest-'
ed and taken to the Guard House. In the
meantime, ' however, ninton, who had
probably had his suspicions aroused,
had disposedof his cards, but Mallett, who
had kept his eye on his movements, soon
had them in bis possession, and Hinton af
terwards confessed to Mallett that they
were some cards used in the attempt to
swindle. We examined the cards and on
two of them found private marks and on a
third, written with a pencil, figures repre
senting $10.00. Hinton and Owens were
each required to give a justified bond in
the sum of $500 for their appearance before
the City Court on Friday morning, in de
fault of which they were locked up, a3 be
fore stated Mclntire was retained as a
witness in the affair. '
Hinton, who says he came here from
Raleigh,' is rho individual from whom Jim
Hall, who is charged with picking the
pockets of T. T. Moore, 'colored, ; some
mention of which was made in yesterday's
palter, declares he purchased the 'knife
which was one '.of lhe articles alleged to
have been stolen from Moore. Halt's trial

At a meeting of St George and SM
Andrew's Athletic Club; held last; evening
it was : unanimously decided to ha'.ve a
grand public opening-df the grounds of tbej
Club on the apprpaching Thaaksgivingj
Day. . On that occasion a! small admission
fee will be charged and the various Scottish
national games will;be. played by the mem?
bers of the Club. It was also -decided , t4
-offer a prize for the' beslifle-8hQtiiRt?2Qq
yards, and other prizes; may. probably obe:
Offered, in the discretion 'of th$ jBus'mes
tion of the game's we are assured that; thef
element of humor will not. be overlooked
The Committee will have, their nil pro
gramme of exercises ready for publication
n a short time. - - . - ' I"
The Committee having in hand the im
provement of the grounds stated that . they
would undertake to have all; the j arrangej
ments completed by Thanksgiving Day. j
It yak expected that at the meeting last
night sohie action would be had in refer
ence to acquiring title to the grounds, butj
owing to the absence of the Chairman of
the Committee, having that subject Jri
charge only an informal statement was
made in reference to the matter. The
Club now holds its grounds? under a lease
or ten years, but it has : been . thought de
sirable by some of the members that they
should be owned in fee. ! ' '
A considerable number of applications
for membership were received and acted
upon at this meeting. i !
We yesterday morning took a walk over
from the end of the street railroad track at
the Cemetery to have a look at the progress
of improvement at the ground of the
Club.. ' A very large. 1 amount, of . worfc
has been doue here in the way of grading.and
the entire plot, with the. exception of the
rifle-range and terraces at the sides: will soon
be as, level as a floor. .- The .work Of cover'
ing the grounds with turf will! bow be
pushed to completion rapidly. v .The lay of
the land - could - scarcely be better for the
purposes to which 'It has been devoted,
being high and dry; with ample drainage
toward the creek and a neighboring ravine.
As the descent on these sides' is consider
able.the edge of the campus will.be thrown
into three sodded terraces and planted wiih
vines and shrubs to prevent washing, and
flower-plots will finally be laid efcj At tble
bottom of the terraces on the south will be
constructed the rifle-range, and just inside
the high fence enclosing the entire grounds
will be a carriage-driye. The fence is now
in an advanced state. Entrance is had by
an arched portal fronting the west and. coh-i
stantly in charge of a lodge-keeper. - 1 ;
i Before the opening, a hail about 100 feet
long by 15 feet wide, with the side fronting
the grounds composed of sliding doors,
Will be erected just within the enclosure.
This? hall wiil be well seated; and Jn case of
rain will afford ample'' shelter' to the ladies
and other spectators. ' At' night fit will be
lighted up and used as a gymnasium.. Capt.
Southcrland, lessee of the street railway, has
also undertaken to extend the track from
its . present terminus to . the . .'gale of the
