six-thl5y train, which left Camden station for
Frederick, yesterday evening, under charge
OF Conductor Chew, was boarded at Sykes

had no ticket aud Professionally refused TO pay
his fare. He wanted to go TO Evansville.
The conductor stopped the tain and elected
the passenger. He got on again and was
again put of. A third time the train was
stopped and the young man put of. He
waited until the train was IN motion, and at
tempted TO board agaiu. Mr.. Hansome, one
Of train officers, and conductor Chew, by this
time, having become annoyed by the frequent
stopping OF the train and consequent loss Of
time, resorted 70 prompt measures to dsplace
his hands from the ratings. The man, on
being finally dislodged remarked with snllen
grin, .'lll tickle one Of you il can't ride"

Mr.. Hansome and lodged in the tleshy part Of
the conductors thigh. There was freight

and the conductor did not think il prudent
having already lost so much time to delay
longer, so his cowardly assaiant and would
be murderer was allowed temporarily to es-
cape. Capt. Chew pluckily stood at his post
until the train arrived in Frederick. at half
past nine, when Dr. Charlie Smith was sum.

Captain that he had escaped with his lie by

ball would have severed the main artery and
he would have BLEED to death. This morning
the wounded man was brought on, arriving at
Camden station by the $50 train and was
sent TO his residence No. l5S Barre street. by

lie was suffering considerably, but is in no
danger of serious consequences. Vigorous
efforts were at once set GU foot for the capture
Of his rulhan assailant, but up to late hour
this morning no news of his arrest had been
received. Much sympathy is expressed for
the suffering conductor, whose constant ur.
6anity and courtesy has made him universal
tayorite with the officers and employees of the
road and the travelling public.
