A TICKET BROKER ARRESTED.


OM0EBcU WIN Forgery a. u Result Oh
an Alteration of Dates.
Some months ago the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad officials discovered that there was
big swindle being perpetrated on the road
In connection with the sale of tickets by
scalpers, and 60 much Of 1t was done that
an investigation to break up the practice
II possible was started. Yesterday sworn
complaint was made against WILDER w.
Marmaduke, the ticket broker at 400 Penn
sylvania avenue. William Alvey, general
agent Of the road in this city, swore out
the warrant and Detectives Helan and
Lacey served 1t on Mr.. Marmaduke, who
made denial Of the charge Of forgery
made against him. He gave security in the
sum of $500 for his appearance and was re-
leased.
1t is charged by the railroad officials that
Mr.. Marmaduke purchased a ticket for q
passage between here and New York two
days after it had expired, and sold 1t after
1t had been altered so as to make 1t appear
good for month later. There is a margin
on the ticket containing the months and
days, and when first sold hole is pun .led
to show the date of the expiration of the
ticket These holes, it is charged. have
been patched and later dates punched.
In this case decoy ticket was used. Cen
eral Agent Alvey and Passenger Agent
Hege arranged the decoy and sold it.
They sent to Chicago and got a ticket
good from that city to New York. and tore
of the part Of the ticket good for passage
from there to this city. The ticket was
limited and was punched to expire on
March 4. Two days after the exp:ra ton Of
the ticket it is alleged. Marmaduke pur-
chased it. and yesterday afternoon 1t was
presented at the railroad depot. The gate
keeper took up the ticket and found that it
had been altered in the manner stated, and
repunched SO as to make it expire on the
4th Of this month.
When questioned. the man who presented
the ticket said he had purchased 1t from a
ticket broker at All Pennsylvania avenue,
and was given with it an order on Marina
duke, which purported to have been given
by a Chicago broker. The broker at the
number mentioned is Mr.. Wright and he
claims that he bought the ticket from a
man on the street.
Just when or by whom the change in the
ticket was made is not known, but the war
rant charges Marmaduke with being re-
sponsible for it.
This morning the case was called in the
Police Court and continued until Thurs
day.

Furniture Decoration.

The use Of wood fiber or pulp in the
shape of molding is now made peculiarly
available for some of the artistic processes
in furniture decoration. For this purpose
the required patterns are designed, and
hollow molds made after them-that is, the
wood fiber. while in a soft, gelatinous con-
dition, is. forced into these molds and the
moisture then slowly driven out by COM
pressed air, while the meshes of a fine net
ting hold the pulp in place. Thus the ar
ticles can be readily turned out in single
pieces, and are completed without further
manipulation except to trim and finish off
the surface. So peculiarly adapted is this
method 10 the art in question that delicate
scrolls, flowers, and all conventional pat
terms carved out of wood for furniture and
cabinets are thus satisfactorily and rapidly
produced. With a little glue these orna-
mental pieces are fixed securely in the de-
sired position, and almost perfectly resem-
