' Cixcixxatj, Oct. t. A few v-eek
o the Cincinnati at Covington Street
Rallsvay Co. reduced tbe fare from tern
to seven cents and travel was greatly
increased, but strangely enough th
revenue wss largely depressed. Tha
company empjbqyed Detective B. A.
Miller, of Cleveland, to dsiooeer th
cause, if possible. Miller came lvare
snd began running s car. He was af

every conductor on the road. On
night about a week ago when he had.
made his last trip a conductor said to
him: --...-
"Are yon short to-night?"
seres," said Miller.
The conductor then handed Miller a -lot
of punched tickets. He took them
to his room and made a careful exam
ination of them. He found that one of
them had been scorched. He at one
inquired from headquarters what was
done with punched tickets after they
were returned by the conductors and
was informed thst they were placed in
a sack and bnrned in the power house
furnace. He watched the operation
from a place of secrecy and the leak
was discovered. A clerk threw a largo
sack of punched tickets . on the edgs of
the fire and left the room. The fireman
hastily took np a rake and withdrew
the bag of tickets, stamping out tha
fire. These tickets were sold to the
conductors 100 for $3. The company
then tried several plans to catch tho
conductors who were using them, and
were at last successful in locating i.f.
of them, and estimate that tbe wf "
of money stolen will range saywber
from $50,000 to 100,000, and say tho
stealings have been going on -for five
