SUINDLING 4 STREET RAILROAD.

-HE SECOND AvrNCE COMPANY DEFRAUDED BY
CONDUCTORS AND DRIVERS.
The Second Avenue Railroad Company has
discovered that combination OF conductors and drivers
has existed for some time their line, whereby th0us
ands OF dollars have been embezzcd The sum stolen
Of course cannot be exactly estimated. For several
months the Company has suspected certain Of its en-
ploy6s and has it believes, finally discovered the guilty
persons Nine conductors ana live or six drivers were
discharged yesterday, and number of conductors the
previous night. The men discharged yesterday were
entirely from what is known the upper end Of the
road and they thought to have the best facilities for
stealing. Other suspensions expected last night,
and il was reported that the Company would discharge
number of its conductors to-day.
The special fraud with which these conductors are
charged is in failure register the exact number
OF fares they receive in the punching Of halffare
slips for full fare and in tampering with the
punchers and slips The exact method by which
the lastnamed rascality is practlced has not been
made public, and the conductors and others out
side OF the Company could give no information eX-
cept that it is thought that bepunch secretly
opened and the indicator turned back correspond with
the fraudulent OF holes punched III the slips. the
conductor frequently using his punch in hole already
made OF outside Of the slip entirely This fraud old con
ductor declared, easily accomplished AS the Second
Avenue Road uses bclpunches upon every car except
one the steangs by the conductors would amount to
very large sum in short time factory in this city,
it is believed furnishes keys 10 conductors which will
unlock their punches and turn back the indicator.
The officers OF the Company supposed TO keep the
matter secret Little information could be obtained from
them yesterday. Treasurer Thorn stated to TRIBUNE
reporter that the Company probably would adopt new
method OF recording the fares The bellpunches were
not all that could he desired The clock Indicator he
considered more satisfactory The Company, however,
was considering several new appliances
Several OF the discharged men were found at the Depot
and termn OF the road yesterday afternoon and last
night Their discharge, they declared had uneX-
uectedly and they at loss 10 understand H. Iney
were innocent they declared, OF any dishonesty but
they admitted that large discharge OF men indcdled
that there was something wrong Somewhere Inc
men insisted that it would have been Impossible Tor eh
TO steal so closely were they watched by "spOtters'
New men were put IN the places Of those discharged
yesterday, and trouble experienced by the Com
pany by reason OF the change.
