ANOTHER CHAPTER IN ERIE.
NEW YORK, March 2i-The New York and
Boston express company, one of the creations of
the Erie ring, has been discovered to be inSO-
vent. 1t was started with the assistance of the
Erie managers, the funds for its equipment be
ing furnished from the treasury of the road. Its
business was done by Fisk S steamers to Boston
and by the Erie railway TO number of places
in New Jersey, the Erie company furnishing it
facilities for crushing out several local express
companies. 1t has been kept alive hitherto, ac-
cording TO rumor, by Eric stockholders, and its
sudden collapse IS one of the results of the re-
cent change in the management of the road. Its
Indebtedness is said to be about 500 900, includ-
ing the dues to the Erie company for one
month transfer of freight. A chattel mortgage
IS held by the Erie company on the horses,
wagons and other equipments of the express
company TO cover the money advanced.
