inst. with marked degree of interest.
Large crowds congregated around the
newspaper bulietin-boards and dis
cussed the situation. The CHI

PROFITS IN RAILWAY TICKETS.
A Conspiracy at Chicago to Utilize Forged
Tickets.


The arrest at Chicago of Albert A.
Reeves and Charles Stout, the ticket
brokers, promises to bring to light a
widespread conspiracy. It is authorita-
lively stated that the sum realized by
the frauds is not less than $50, 900, In
stead of 1000 as first published. The
forged tickets were sold simultaneously
to brokers not only in Chicago, but
also at st. Louis, Cincinnati, Columbus,
Louisville and Memphis. Hungry
Joe," the notorious New York con-
fidence man, and woman companion,
are said to be the persons who sold the
tickets to the Chicago brokers. Reeves
and Stout, it is understood, played mere
ly minor part, their crime consisting
chiefly in helping to get the tickets
printed. The two were held to the
grand jury under heavy bonds.

this opinion that the gentlemen in ques-
ton will endeavor to secure a social in

has as yet been received it is not be-
ieved that any obstacles will be placed
