Sfop-Over Tickets,

The new system of stop-over tickets on the Consolidated road goes into effect on the 1st of April. It is only necessary for the traveller to tell the ticket agent when he buys his ticket that he wants stop-over ticket instead of an ordinary one. Three connected tickets are purchased for the price of through ticket and punched to show the starting, the stop ping and the final stations The ticket agent keeps one, the conductor takes the second, and the third is retained by the passenger. After stopping off and again renewing his journey he has this third ticket on hand to offer for his fare to his destination. An ex- tension of the system permits additional stop pings, but he always has to get ticket from a ticket office instead of receiving anything from the conductor. Mir. Watrous regards this plan as better than the issuing of stop over checks by conductors, as it leaves no chance for the frauds on the company under the old plan,
