TROUBLE FOR sCALPERs.
Passenger Men Have Schemes to Up
set Them.

People who are buying G. A. r. ex-
cursion tickets from the scalpers do
not appreciate the risk they are run
ming in losing the money invested
Several hundred tickets have been pur-
chased in the city during the week, and
while many of the buyers have gone
through to their destination without
trouble, scores of others have come to
grief, but of course, the scalpers care
nothing about this as long as they
have the money in their pockets.
All of the railroads leading out of
the city have given Instructions to
their conductors to use just as much
Vigilence In accepting these special rate
tickets as they do in the acceptance Of
mileage books. On the back of every
ticket, is the name of the buyer who
signed the ticket before leaving home
The traveller is now required to dupIi-
cate the signature on a separate piece
of paper in the presence of the con-
ductor, before it will be accepted on
the return trip. If the signatures do
not correspond, the conductors are re-
CURED to demand further and more
complete Identification, and failing in
this he is authorized to take up the
ticket and compel the holder to pay
full fare. This system has resulted in
the detection Of great numbers of
scalped tickets, and the passenger de-
partments of all the lines report the
system is a great success.
The scalDers will close the month
with a lot Of tickets which will be
worthless paper to them The rail-
roads are protecting themselves so
completely that the use of a scalped
ticket is very uncertain to the holder.
Secretary Kinnan, of the local pas
senger association, is still a very busy
man. The rush Of applicants who
want their special rate tickets ex-
tended until the 30th, continues at the

CHICAGO, Sept 10.-Unexpectedly heavy
Northwest receipts and dullness Of trade, re-
sulting more or less from a desire on the
part of the traders to wait for the govern
ment report, caused December wheat to de-
cline AQ3sc. Corn was strong on its own
account, and closed a shade higher. Oats

ceipts of wheat in the Northwest caused the
market to start at decline of from A@Ac

only 154, and only nine of them were con-
tract. The quantity inspected out of store
was POI, 900 blu. The foreign markets were
firm at the opening, and again at the close.
Liverpool, London, Paris, Berlin and Ant
werp all sent higher quotations. There was
still good deal of talk as to the probability
of the government report having a bullish
influence. There were also severe frosts last
night in the Northwest, which, it was feared
might have injured more or less wheat.
This created more comfortable feeling, and
December, which had declined to 5S1sc from
5SAQssc, the opening price, rallied to 5S1a
Q5S2sc. But the short interest had been so
well covered yesterday that there was not
much ueHand from that interest, and the
sentiment was easily influenced by bearish
considerations. December again declined to
5S1sc. Then the business became dull and
the crowd was inclined to wait for the gov
eminent figures. One of the strong factors
OF today was the heavy clearances from the
seaboard yesterday over S15, 900 blu in wheat
and flour. The market continued dull during
the last hour. traders waiting for the gov
eminent report Prices steadied UP a little
toward the close on the seaboard clearances,

CAUSES SOME SURPRISE.
The Great Westerns Move i'm the
Elevator Line.

OMAHA Sept. 10.-The announcement of
the intention OF President A. B. Stickney of
the Chicago Great Western road to build a
series of grain elevators throughout the West,
published yesterday, caused considerable dis
cussion among local railway men. While near
ly all commented the matter viewed 1t
incredulousiy, there was a general sentiment
that whatever new scheme President Stick
ney was likely to spring on the railway
world any moment could never be foretold,
and there might be some foundation for the
story OF his latest move. Ever since this
Official made the startling statements regard
ing the operations of railroads before the in
terstate commerce commission the officials
OF other roads have regarded him with some
thing akin to awe, and are not inclined to
comment on the report that he will build a
series of grain elevators hereabouts through
the aid OF European capital.
Freight Traffic Manager Munroe, of the
Union Pacific, said he thought if Mr. Stick
ney had $1,000 600 to spend he could now buy
the grain elevators he wanted at very low
hgures. He said. however that the prevail
ing tendency among railroads today was to
do away with grain elevators at all inter-
mediate points, the shipments being made di-
rectiy from the points of origin to Chicago
and other points of destination. Still, if
the Chicago Great Western road wanted ele-
vators at intermediate points it could prob
ably buy them cheap now, certainly for less
money than it could build them.

After lying in idleness for several
years. the South st. Paul Belt Line
railway was placed in operation yes
terday for the first time in its his
tory, and hereafter South St Paul will
have a direct outlet for it's freight,
without bringing it to this city for it's
transfer to other lines.
The belt line connects the Union
Stock yards and the Chicago Great
Western, on one side of the river, with
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
and the Chicago, Burlington & North
ern on the opposite side. Stock and
dressed meats going from the stock
yards have hitherto been sent way
around by the city, necessitating the
pulling of the cars through the union
depot tracks. before the consignments
could be transferred to any desired
road Some time ago the Pittsburg
Bridge company, at the instance Of
Manager Curtiss, constructed steel
bridge, connecting South st. Paul with
Newport on the other side, it being the
intention to operate belt line. After
the bridge was built, the other lines
did not take kindly to the scheme, and
the structure has been used ever since
simply for wagon and foot traffic. This
week, however, the rails were laid
across the bridge and along the belt
line right Of way, and yesterday the
first train from the stock yards was
run over Traffic arrangements have
been made with other lines, and it is
expected the road will pay the cost Of
construction. 1t will save heavy
switching charges, and the hauls back
and forth from the city. President
Curtiss, it is said, will soon retire, and
his position will be filled by some other
member of the company.

Suburban Railway company has a power
house near. 1nn1an & Poulsons mill, from
which the electricity is conveyed by a sub
marine cable across the river to operate
some of it's lines on the west side. A short
time since the Union power house, from
which some of the company's lines were
operated, was burned, and, as misfortune
never comes singly, day or two since the
cable which crosses the river to the foot of
Jefferson street failed in its duty.
j. f. Kelley, superintendent of the power
plant on the East side, took steps to ascer-
tain what the trouble was and have 1t put
to rights. He sent Billy Martin. the COM
pany's diver, down to overhaul the cable
which was found to have sustained frac-

which is the conductor, had in some way got
in contact with the wire covering which pro-

power house before the diver went down.
