been sold to scalpers in this city, and late
yesterday raid was made on the establish
ment of j. A. Webb, ticket scalper on Clark
street, and about $4,000 worth of passes
discovered in vault. Webb was taken into
custody. Among the stock discovered were
twenty three passes and seven one thousand
mile tickets, most of the passes were fan
| nuals." A few had been issued for 1873,
