STORING NICKEL HARVEST.
Mysterious Early Morning Proceed
ing in Downtown District.


Every morning between the hours
of and o'clock, wagons guarded by
armed men stop in front of the side
entrance TO the Park Row building on
Ann street. A squad of men leap out,
line up across the pavement, forming
lane between the rear OF the wagon
and the open door, IL they speak at
all, it is in low tones, and they glance
suspiciously at any chance passerby
who stops to gaze with curiosity.
There are sundry scraping sounds on
the beds of the wagons. and the sound
of some heavy body being shifted.
Perhaps the night is dark and foggy
The mon about the wagon move ST.
lently as shadows. The whole pro-
ceeding appears dark and mysterious.
The curious passerby thinks of a pos.
sible crime committed under shadow
Of night
Two powerful men lift some dark
object from the wagon. bear it across
the pavement, and disappear into the
darkness of the doorway. In few
moments they reappear. seize sec.
ond dark body, and quickly disappear
within the door again. This is con
tinued until the wagons are empty.
Then the men drive away.
The man who scents mystery is
doomed to disappointment. for the
armed men are simply employees of
the Interborough company; the dark
bodies carried into the building are
leather sacks filled with nickels from
the pockets of the hundreds of thou
sands who daily patronize the elevated
and subway trains. In the Offices of
the company these thousands of nick
els are counted. the totals taken and
checked up against the statements of
the ticket agents.
Every night when the after-theatre
rush is over and travel has become
thinned the days takings are gathered
from all the stations along the line of
the subway and collected at Fulton
street; the same with the elevated
roads, whose receipts are nightly gath
cred together at Cortlandt street
From these two stations the clinking
shekels are hauled away by wagons,
closely guarded until safely placed in
the offices of the PETERBOROUGH COM
pany in the Park Row building

as the following:
/. Five minutes each day OF pure

2. Short intervals during the day OF

A man can easily spend as much as
