Tho Ticket sCalpiug BtSlnesS Has Assumed
Greater Proportions.
CHICAGO, Jan. Sin spite of Judge
CoolCy's recent admonition to railroad
managers in regard to the evils OF the
ticket scalping trade, the trouble has u.s.
sumed greater proportions than before.
The promise that no more tickets should
be placed in scalpers' hands aud that
those in their possession should be with
drawn, has not been kept. Not only
have the tickets not been withdrawn,
but more have been placed with them.
a month ago Ticket Broker Frank had
$50 tickets from Chicago to Kansas City,
which we're sold TO him by the Wabash
at so % each, although the tariff rate
was $l2 80. The other kanHas City lucs
had only u few tickets on the market.
The Wabash tickets were found 10 DO
unlimited. Receiver MCNulta tried to
buy thOm but Frank refused to sell,
Before o suit was brought against
Frank conference was hold between
the Wabash people and Frank, and 1t
was given out that the latter had agreed
TO return the unlimited tickets. 1t now
transpires, however, that deal was
made which virtually places Frank In a
better position than before. The0j0 un-
limited Wabash tickets III his hands were
redeemed at 50 %, but In exchange each
OF the Eve roads between Chicago and
Kansas City placed with him 200 limited
tickets dated some time ahead ut 50 %,
80 that Frank has now about 900 tickets
over all the lines between Chicago and
Kansas City, while before ho had only
$50 over tho Wabash.
Tho reason assigned by tho WRbash's
competitors entering Into this deal was
that II was the only means by which
tho Wabash tickets could bc gotten out
OF tho market and by which all roads
could 10 placed on au equal footing.
Now, In order 10 enable Frank aud the
other ticket brokers 10 sell their tickets
NJ large profit tho roads have advanced
their rates 10 Si2 80. The Bpnlpars sell
tho tickets which they got for 20 % for
Sll, or 81 30 less than people who 90 70
regular railroad Offices have 10 pay. All
the BCAlheFs arc snid 10 10 well stocked

The Governor plunges at once into q

message would be aimed directly at the
Republican party, find nothing in the
Governors language upon which to

Hanging over rrecIpfce.
WINNIPEG, Man., Dec. l3.-A thrill
ing accident occurred to the Canadian
Pacific through express iu the mountains.
A rail gave way at point ON the
mountain side high above the Columbis
river. The engine passed over safely,
but two coaches following toppled over
and would have tumbled several hundred
feet into the river had it not been that
ths coupling twisted round and held the
two cars, one with its load of passengers,
suspended over the abyss.
The weight of the engine and the bal
ance of the train prevented the suspend
ed cars from drawing the whole train
down.
Ths frightened passengers were CON-
PEELED to remain in their perilous posi-
tion until the trsinhands built platform
around and underneath the hanging cars
enabling all to make their escape.
