VIM. Phleger, passenger conductor for six
years on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and a
man named VIM. Walters were before Justice
Cashmyer, In Baltimore, yesterday, charged with
conspiring to defraud the railroad company out OF
two tickets, valued at 90 40 The testimony was to
the effect that Walters frequently rode over to
Washington and back again On Phleger's train.
After several OF these trips he was watched on
leaving the train and was seen to go into Balti-
more street ticket Scapers Office and sell tickets
good between Baltimore and Washington. Tues
day Mr.. John Lloyd. OF the railroad company, pro-
cured a number OF rOund-trip tickets between
Baltimore and Washington. and marking them In
the presence OF number OF witnesses, gave them
to several employees OF the road and others With
them they came TO Washington and returned to
Baltimore on Phieger'S train. They all gave up
their tickets to him. IL was his duty to cancel
them and return them to the company. Walters
was On the train, and when he left it Detective
Wrts. OF the company, followed him. He went TO
the Office OF the ticket scalpef, who too busy
TO wait on him. As Walters came out he was ar
rested by Detective WirtS with Detective ALGault,
of the city force. Two OF the marked tickets un-
Cancelled were found on him. Afterwards the de-
tectives arrested Pheger. Before the magistrate

We notice that the Hon. B. A.
Enloe is announced as candidate to
represent the eighth district in the
next United States Congress, and
that the papers are speaking of him
in very complimentary terms. We
believe the people of that district
would secure a most excellent repre-.
sentative if they should elect him.
He is able, energetic and honest, and
his record is sound. He would do
valiant work to stop one big leak in
Washington if sent there. We refer
to the immense sums thrown away in
printing the Congressional Record
and the great number of so.called
speeches of mem bers which we're new
er delivered, and are never read by
one in hundred. That is a fraud
which should be suppressed.
