ONE MORE NICTIM-Tht SDTy Of The Run, Of
a <rdtHdy CIshteT.-A telegram from Treu-
ION, =. J., August II. says :-CbaS. II. Curtis,
cashier for the Pullman palace car com Dany
al Cincinnati, has been arrested here, charged
WIN embeZZliug II, 400, funds belonging to
the company. Curtis was formerly IN the
employ OF the Pennsylvania railroad com
pfny as chief telegraph operator here, where
MS parents reside, and last November Sc
cured, through the instrumentality of Col
Robert Stewart and G. s. Gaunt, master of
transportation, the position in Cincinnati.
All receipts west of Philadelphia were re-
United To him, and he daily handled large
sums. Released from home restraint, Cur
tbs, who is not over Is years OF age, and had
prev iOusly borne an irreprOachable charac-
ter, became rather lax IN his habits, and
though receiving a salary of g, 500 per year,
which was TO have been raised to b, 400 the
second year, lived beyond his income. He
bnally became freQuenter of the gaming
table, and over it lost his own and his en-
plOyer's money. The auditor of the company
reached Cincinnati on the LIST of the month
to examine accounts, but Curtis had gone to
OntOnagOn, Mich, and thence TO Worcester.
Mass. Here he repented of his folly and
wrote long letter to the auditor, p b.
cnnati and would stop at Trenton and Bal
timore 10 see his bondsmen. Mr.. Frink at
once telegraphed to the marshal at Trenton,
and when Curtis stepped from the cars he
was taken into custody and last night was
returned to Cincinnati. In an interview
with a newspaper correspondent he seemed
thoroughly .epentant, ard asserted his in
tention to make a full and satisfactory res
titutioD. His family connections are OF the
best, and he has many friends who deeply
feel the disgrace brought upon him and them !.
