 Ticket Office Robbed.s
 The Union ticket office, ip the Wis teria building was entered sometime Friday night. Captain MeCall's strong box was broken open and e36O in cur rency abstracted. Entrance tu the building was effected through window which opens from the istreet. The window is on hinges and had probably been left unfastened.
 Captain Mccall is not in the habit of leaving money in his strong box in the office, but that day he had been paying of the crew of the steamer Newsboy and had brought money over from the kimball safe deposit vaults. The rob Der must have watched him. Captain Mccall thought nothing about leaving the money ln the O!fiee until the next morning. When he arrived at the otfice, he noticed the open window, and entering the place he found Iris iron chest on the floor, the lock broken and the contents gone, with the exception Of some papers, which included draft. These were not di'surbes.s
