suit by Wells. Fargo ~ 90. against
&C. ~. ~. 60. -Gauit Accepts
The Coleman Failure.
SAN Francisco, Octobes 3 a bill in
equity has been filed in the U. s.
Court by Wells, Fargo y Co. against
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company,
Complaint is directed more particularly
against the Northern Pacific Express
Company, majority of which stock is
held by the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, which also owns majority
of the Pacific Coast Steamship stock.
Wells, Fargo S Go. claim that, owing
to this combination of interests, the
steamship company have refused to
carry their express matter, giving the
entire privilege to the Northern Pacific
Express. Judge Sawyer granted a pre-
liminary writ of injunction, penaing
litigation. Wells, Fargo & Co. have
already been enioined in Washington
Territory, Idaho and Montana. 1t is
believed the result of the fight will be
similar to that of the railroad confer
ence, to confue each express company
to its own particular territory.
1t is stated that John A. Gault has
definitely accepted the railroad pool COM
missionership with headquarters in this
city. He is expected here at tie end of
this month.
Concerning the failure of Coleman
Brothers, clothers of San Francisco and
N New York, gentleman familiar with
their affairs says the failure was not un-
expected. At one time they were rated
among the half million dollar firms, but
the retirement of Sol Coleman, who
lives in Europe, and who took a quarter
of million out of the business, together
with heavy mining losses by one of the
members of firm, are the causes of their
going under. The assignees commenced
taking stock, but have been delayed by
the Jewish holidays. 1t is believed
their liabilities will not exceed 5000, 600
