Robert C.. Stevenson, the pioneer
ticket j." scalper," died at Pittsburg, Pa,
last Thursday. He was ticket agent on
the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad, but
resigned on account of some trouble in
the Office. He thought he had been
treated unfairly and determined to square
matters. Shortly afterward he applied
for four feet of space in the Office, and the
President, without inquiring the nature
of his business, leased the. space for three
years. Then Stevenson, disdaining 10
sell peanuts and cigars, as he was ex-
pected to do, opened the sale of tickets,
and at once began lively trade in
scalping" in the company's stronghold.
For years he conducted his business Sc
cretly, but after severe legal battles which
he won, be began to sell openly. Mr..
Stevenson was widely known as the father
of the American Ticket Brokers' Associa-
