TEIEVING TOUTS.
Strangers Should Not Trust Them
to Place Bets.

Alfred Williams (colored) is in the
city prison. He was lodged there on
complaint of Lizzie Gamer, also col
ored, who accuses him of misdemeanor
embezZlement.
According to the woman's story she
intrusted Williams, who is a tout, with
81 TO place on a certain horse in one
of the races yesterday. Williams, she
asserts, came back a few minutes later
and rendered a ticket on a race which
had been run on Wednesday. His ar
rest followed.
Trustee John II. Dolan also witnessed
a transaction between a colored tout
and a man from one of the COW coun-
ties yesterday. The old man gave the
tout funds to purchase three tickets
on a horse which came first under the
wire and the granger was $40 to the
good provided he got his tickets from
the tout. He hunted up the latter,
who produced three worthless tickets,
which he tended, and slipped the win
ming tickets into another pocket.
Trustee Dolan saw the move, and
made the negro dig up under threats
of arrest. He accordingly dug" one
ticket, which the stranger took, and
the tout left. 1t then occurred to the
stranger that the men had two other
tickets of equal value to the one he
had recovered.
The police through the assistance of
Morse's detective force, expect to land
the culprit in Jail.

NOT A BAD ONE.
kurther Particulars of the Collis-
ION Near Penryn.

Ihe latest version of the collision
wednesday night, near Penryn of three
runaway box cars with the eastbound
overland express train, does not dlf-
1er materially from the account pub
Ashed in yesterdays issue of the Rec
ord-Union."
The cars, it seems, had been LETT
standing on the main track with the
brakes tightly set. One of the brake
chains snapped and the cars start
ed down the track, though at the point
OF collision they were moving slowly.
Engineer Thomas Newton, who was
running the forward engine, had no
1ntimation Of danger until the collision
occurred. He was leaning out of the
cab window, and the shock of the col
lision shot him out like stone from a
catapult. He received contusions on
his head and hip. His injuries are
slight
Fireman c. l.. Deming was buried un-
der the coal which shot forward out OF
the tender, but finally got out with
only a few bruises.
Postal Clerks J. c. Farrell and II.
Watkins were shaken up but continued
on the run.
U. E. Willatts, the express messen-
ger, was buried under an avalanche OF
packages, but beyond a few unimpor-
tant bruises he was uninjured.
TWO of the runaway cars, one loaded
with peaches, the other with ice, We're
demolished, and cakes of ice We're scat
tered all around adding picturesque
ness to the landscape.
The light work on the forward part
of the engine was broken, and the pilot
was smashed, but the heavy parts were
uninjured.
The wrecking crew sent out from
this city succeeded in clearing the
track promptly, and the westbound
overland train, due here at $40 a. m,
was only two hours late when it arrived
yesterday.

is MALT GRAIN?
A Suit That is Expected to Settle
the Question

An answer was filed in the Superior
Court yesterday by the Scottish Union
and National Insurance Company in
the suit of Frank Ruhstaller against
it to recover insurance for his loss by
fire. The company bases its contention
in the answer on the allegation that
Ruhstaller took out additional insur-
ance without first obtaining its con-
sent
When Ruhstaller commenced his ac-
tion against the company he claimed
that 81, 800 was due him under a fire
insurance policy taken out in January
last on stock of grain" in the build
ing at 1016-1O20 Fifth street, known
as the Neubourg Mill, which was par
TALLY destroyed by fire in May last.
RuhStaller alleged that when the in
Surance policy was written he de-
sired to have the wheat, barley, malt
etc, specified separately, but that r<e
defendants agent assured him that the
words stock of grain" would embrace
1t ALL
The fire that destroyed the Metro
politan Theater also partially burned
the building referred to, the property
of Ruhstaller, together with a portion
of the stock of barley, malt, etc, the
loss on the latter being about 81 900.
Ruhstaller stated in his complaint
that the insurance company now denies
that the word grain" covers or was
intended to cover the malt that was
destroyed.
The plaintiff asked for decree con-
STRUNG the policy to include malt with
the other grain destroyed, and award
ing damages in the sum of 50, 500.
