Sixty-Eight Bank Officers Confined IA
the One PenitentiarY.

There are now in the Kings County,
y. y. penitentiary sixty-eight prisoners,
who. at one time another. were officers
of banks-some tellers. others presidents.
and others still cashiers. The Kings
County penitentiary is one of five penal
institutions which are under contract with
the Federal Government to keep in con-
finement all prisoners convicted of felo-
MES by United States courts, and hence
the large number of former bank officials,
es these have been gathered from a wide
extent of territory.
Speaking of his boarders, Warden
Hayes of the penitentiary says: Il have
here in my population as able financiers
and expert accountants as ever lived.
They came from all over the East and
Southeast. We have them from Louisiana
TO Maine. If there should be n strike
of tellers, CASHIERS and clerks in any one
of the banks of greater New York could
furnish n complete staff on one hours no.
tice. Yes, could fit the bank out with q
president and a full force down to. but
not including, the janitor. 1t is a re-
markable fact which | have verified by
looking over the records, that although
there have been confined in this prison
since il began TO receive United States
prisoners, twelve or fifteen years ago,
q total of $50 bank officers and clerks, we
have never yet had janitor or watch
man or runaway messenger"

JUDGMENT AGAINST TIE RAILWAY.
Chicago Ticket Brokers Win a Suit Against
the Alton Road.

thc <Aitou hOdOs .t'
CHICAGO, March 11.--Judge Adams has
decided the case of milford 81 Mackenzies
ticket brokers, against the Chicago and
Alton railroad, finding for the plaintiffs
and fixing their damages at $40, S54. Null
ford and Mackenzie were a firm of
brokers who in 1850 had an office in this
city and in st. Louis In that year they
bought of the Alton road $50, 900 worth of
tickets ut so cents on the dollar, the
tickets being good over the Alton road be-
tween Kansas City and Bloomington,
themes east over tho Lake Erie and West
ern. Shortly after the purchase of the
tickets passenger rate war set in and
the tickets were unstable until 1882.
In June of that year. after the brokers
had disposed of about half the tickets, tho
Lake Erie and Western, which had gone
into the hands of a receiver, repudiated the
agreement between itself and the Alton
by which tickets had been made good
over its lines east from Bloomington,
and the tickets, or what was left of them
in the hands of the brokers, became worth
less. The defense of the Alton was that
in the sale of tickets it acted merely as
an agent.
