How Conductors Made Something Extra.
GIN CLIMATE, Oct. "a lew weeks ago the
Cincinnati and Covington Street railway
reduced the fare from z to S cents, and
travel was greatly increased, but strangely
enough the revenue was largely decreased.
The company employed Detective E. A.
Miller OF Cleveland to discover the cause
it possible. He was affable, and soon had
q staunch friend in every conductor OF tho
road. One night when he had made his
last trip q conductor asked him If he was
short, and on his replying yes handed him
. lot OF punched tickets, some Of which on
examination at his room ne found scorched.
He inquired at the office what they did
with their cancelled tickets and ON being
told they were taken to the furnace and
burned it was found that the conductors
had been in the habit of resurrecting the
tickets that escaped the flames and using
them again.
