THE GREAT AMERICAN CRABBER.

Jim Fisk Expressman-He Makes
Raid the Jersey Expressmen-PrObab
Capture Of the Whole Paterson Trade.
The many wfld and erratic movements Of the ire
pressible young pedler who ordered his father to
"put none OF his id alrs' long since pre-
pared the public for any new scheme In which the
ndomitabe Fisk, Jr., might see ft to embark. But
while other folks are looking with much
interest upon tho riotous aspect Of the
Erie praKemen's strike at Port Jervs, and
the prominent part Mr.. Fisk has been
enactlng IN the drama, it seems hardly credible that
he has at the same time been making formidable
attack upon the numerous express lines plying
between New York and Paterson, und which have
hitherto yielded good livelihood to those who
ried on the business.
The first appearance OF the movement was an
advertisement In the local journals for q ''large
stable, near the depot in Paterson, large enough
for twenty horses and eight or ten wagons" This
notice appeared on Monday. Yesterday the various
received official notice that Oh and after Wednesday,
the 10th inst. (to-day. the freight tariff between
81 90 uhe price hiIherto) to 50 o8 per ton only six
cents per ton less than double the former rates.
Those VINO are supposed TO know the proposed
arrangements are recent upon the subject but 1t Is
now pretty well understood that Mr. Fisk s about TO
establish mammoth freight line between Paterson
The increase OF the freight tariff is supposed to be
for the purpose Of driving the Paterson express
lines out OF the business and controlling the entire
trade. Under this arrangement Mr.. Fisk can charge
for expressage fifty per cent or more the rates
hitherto charged, and the old express companies,
under the new tariff, will be totally unable to COM
pete. or course there is great shaking of dry
bones among the various express lines between
Paterson and New YORK, OF which there are
upwards OF dozen. The larger manufacturers and
Others, whose freight bills in the course Of o
year foot up to tens OF thousands OF dollars are
highly indignant over the prospective increase IN
their expenses IN this line. Much trouble will no
doubt result from the affair and, unless the old
rates resumed, 1t may result In the establish
ment or an independent branch railroad between
Paterson and New York, or otherwise drive the man.
ufacturng interest Of Jersey City out OF the place
altogether 1t Is more generally thought, however,
that as soon as the present advanced tarf has had
its effect !squecnlng out all oppositlon) the former
enough as they were.
The Paterson express companies among other
things propose to have their freight brought from
New YORK to Passaic on steamboat and then cart
1t to Paterson, distance Of four miles. There Is
said to be no legal authority for this increase, but
the order SAYS 1t Is for terminal expenses" Tue
Paterson people consider 1t nothing less than most
outrageous extOrriOn.

OF the gro5sest carecssness on the part OF the engi-
