Reaching Out Into New Territory.
Inc Baltimore q Ohio Express Company. not
withstanding the fact that their express com
pany has been non paying institution up to this
tllne' is arranging to run into new territory.
Under the programme, if carried out the B r.
y. express will be. In a short time running a.
train OUT OF New York made up Of express cars
entirely. General Manager Trego states that
the express train will leave New York every
night at o'clock. It will run through to Chicago
ana ST. Louis. reaching the former city at A. NJ
of the second day, making the through time from
New York thirty-six hours. It will reach Wash
lngton and Baltimore early In the morning after
Its departure from New York, Cincinnati in the
afternoon, Louisville and Indianapolis in the
evening. Through will be made up for the
ABOVE points, so as to avoid rehandlng. Express
matter for points beyond the Baltimore g. Ohio's
line Will be forwarded by express companies with
which the Baltimore & Ohio express has con

In New York the express company already has
an organization. For many years it has been
doing business over the Adams express. Late
~, however, that company has required the pay
ment OF local tolls on all business between New
York and Baltimore, which has, of course, re-
duced its profits considerably. The
rangement with the Reading is merely trans
known what the terms between the two compa-
MES are, but the Reading will simply act as a
carrying company. The Baltimore e. Ohio ex-
press performs the clerical work and loads the
cars In Jersey City, while the Reading performs
only the transportation. In New York and in
the Reading territory the Philadelphia 81 Reading
Express Company will continue to act as the
agent of the Baltimore & Ohio express, and will
collect and deliver the goods sent through it,
The plan of making up trains composed ex-
cluslvely of express cars is not new one. The
American Express Company, which operates
over the New York Central railroad, has sent
out special express trains for long time, and,
on some occasions, has had to make two sections
OF the train out of New York.
An Exposure That May Prevent Much Evil.
Under the above head the New York Mail and
Express says: General Superintendent J. NJ.
Toucey, of the New York Central, has been
known by the public, and by all grades Of his
suoordinates, SO long and SO honorably, that 1t
will be difficult for the walking delegates to
create trouble between him and the employees of
the New York Central, by reports affecting eth
his of justice or his interest in the we'll
being of those who are under his direction Mr..
TOucey took the ground that he wanted proof as
| to the workmen having given authority to any
| set OF men to demand anything in their name.
| He added this, which is specially worthy of
| notice:
what would you think If a man were to come
up to your Office after you had gone, they
| came here on Thursday, and dictate a message
to your stenographer. and have IL written out on
a type writer by him, and leave it for you, the
message being of such character as this ons!
| The message was not given anyone. 1t was
simply laid upon Vice president Clarke's desk.
| When Mr.. Clarke got it, on Friday, he merely
glanced at it, and thrust it aside in the press of
| business. The reporters in Wall street knew all
about it, though. and were up before noon ask
ing about it. did not know what they were
/ talking about Neither did Vice president
| Clarke. 1t was not until we had read the Satur
day papers and Vicepresident Clarke had fer
| reted out his forgotten letter that we got to
| know that demand had been made What dc
| we infer from that9 We do not want to antag
| onize employees They are entitled to re-
spectful consideration / am safe in saying that
our employees did not send any one to u.s."
