BIG BILLS ASTE.iY.
Some Odd Experiences of Railroad Men
with Large Sums of Money.


STANFORD. Conn. Sept. "A short time after
the ticket agent at the Stamford railroad sta
ton had made his return OF money to Treasurer
Squires Yesterday. q well-dressed man pre-
scented lIty-dolar bill in payment for ticket
to New York. and as the agent hadn't change
for so large bill. the man was compelled to
70 outside to get IL broken. The incident re-
Gale some stories OF tho careless way travel
lers pay out bills OF large denomination. Some
months ago man who had been drinking
more than was good for him, asked for a ticket
to Boston nj the Stamford office. and pulling five
bills from his pocket handed them through the
window. The ticket agent smoothed the bills
out al nd found four ones: but the last was OF the
denomination OF $500. For a moment he was
overcome with establishment. Then he called
after the tipsy man. who had loft the window.
The man heard him and seemed to become
sober at once.
Il know what you want" he said; took the
money and got to the train.
Once a man passed twentydollar bill into
the office for ticket to New York. and when
the ticket az ent began to count out some sill
yer for change the man insisted that the bill
was only OF the denomination OF 81 and became
in tignant when shown the Dill he had handed
to the agent Many people hurry away and
leave their change. Sometimes they como
back after It. hut often they never call for 1t
and the agent Of the company is Just 80 much
ahead
The largest bill probably ever handed to an
employee OF the Consolidated Railroad in pay
ment OF fare. was given to the late Cond actor
Mckinney He was at that timo running the
owl express between Springfield and New
Haven. One night two men boarded the train
at Hartford and handed him bill in pay
ment OF their fare. Conductor Mckinney
raised his nckle- plated lantern with the
green shade and saw $1,000" printed on the
bill.
Il can't change that. gentlemen" he said.
but will see what l can do when / get to
Meridcn."
The ticket seller at that station was not able
to help him out. and when Conductor McKin-
ley went to the seat to tell the men that he
couldn't get change. they had gone. and he
never saw or heard OF them afterward. He put
the $1,000 bill in the bank expecting that some
day some one would call for 1t. but no one ever
did. This happened about the time OF the
Holyoke tMass.) bank robbery. and the suppo-
stion among railroad men WIS Tint the men
were members OF the gang engaged in that
burglary and that they paid out the bill by
mistake. When they discovered what they had
done they became frightened and left the
train.
