CONDUCTORS ARRESTED.
speculations on Coupon Railroad Tickets
How the game is play What the Statute
Says.
From the Chicago journal, Goth.

From the Chicago Journal, Goth.
On Sunday afternoon, l.. D. Latham
and b. +. Linsly. conductors on the Chica-
go and Alton Railroad were arrested on
the charge of detrauding the company by
means of transactions in coupon tickets.
1t has been known for some time that an
immense business was being driven by
scalpers" in unused coupons on all the
trunk lines leading out OF Chicago, ana
systematic efforts have been made to as
certain where the supply of coupons came
from. 1 he plan usually pursued by this
class of sharpers is as follows a ticket
is purchased in New York or Boston for
St Louis or Quincy, for example, and the
purchaser ends his journey at Chicago.
The remaining portion of the ticket finds
a ready sale at any scalping office at lib
eral discount. 1t is, of course, promptly
sold again at a small reduction from the
regular fare, and when used should be re
turned to the general ticket department
of the company. Instead of doing this,
however, some of the dishonest conductors
have returned them to the scalper TO be
again resold the conductor sharing the
immense profits of a wholesale business in
this line.
As Latham and Linsly had been indict.
ed before their arrests they are to be tried
during the present Criminal Court. They
have retained Mr.. Trude, the well-known
criminal lawyer to defend them, and have
been admitted to bail Latham's bail being
$500 and Linslys $1,000.
No such a case as this has ever yet been
tried in Cook county The section of the
statute under which the parties were in
dicted and are to be tried, reads as FOL
lows:
Whenever any person in the employ
of any railroad company, whether such
company is Incorporated by this or any
other State, shall traudulently neglect to
cancel or return to the proper officer. com
pany or agent, any coupon or other rail
road ticket, with the intent to permit the
same to be used in fraud or injury of any
such company, or it any such shall steal
or embezzle any such coupon or railroad
ticket, or shall fraudlently sell or put in
circulation ANY such ticket, any person 80
offending shall, upon conviction thereof,
be punished by imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary for the term of one year.

IEeayy Damages to the Tobacco Crops.

LOUISVILLE, October 13.-Heavy
frosts fell Sunday and last nights
throughout Kentucky and northern
Tennessee, over the great tobacco
region. Well-informcd men from the
country, and dealers in this city,
unite in saving that great dun lge h's
been done to the growing crop of to-
bacco, variously estim Iting that from
one-half to twO-thirds of the entire
crop has been killed. SPecills to the
Courier,Journal cOrrohorate the ac-
counts of the great damnge all along
the line of the Nashville road. 1t is
probable that heavier frost will f II
tonight, adding to the damage J.
ready done. The market here has
been excited in consequence, with IN
advance in prices ranging from one
half to one cent per pound.
