A LIVELY EXPRESS WAR IN THE VEST
THE ADAMS AND AMERICAN COMPANIES Ar
RAYED AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.


Chicago, Nov 1e CspeciaD.-The fact that the
Adams Express Company has gained control Of the
express business on the ST. Paul and Duluth Railroad
thus making another invasion into the territory form
ery monopolzed by the United states Express Com
pany, has excited good deal Of talk IN railroad
express and mercantile circles here.
This latest move" said prominent express
official to-day, practically means war TO the knife
between two great and powerful corporations on one
SIDE and other powerful corporation on the other
Time alone can tell which will be successful Tho
points the history of this strife are briefly as
follows: Several years ago the United States, tho
Adams and the American Express Companies entered
into compact that neither should the territory
then monopozed by either Of the others. This agree
ment was rgidly adhered to by each company until
awhile ago, when the United States Company bought
out the business of the Baltimore and Ohio Express
Company. The latter independent company traversed
territory in which, but for the Baltimore and Ohio,
the Adams would have had practical monopoly
This the opening gun in the fight. The Adams
Company raised a protest, but the United States
people replied that they going to hold on to
their newly acquired property BY this move the
United States Company secured through route from
the West TO the East short time ago the United
States Company bought the express privileges of
Northwestern line, which extended into the territory
occupied by the American. This raised hornets nest
about It's ears and the Adams and the American have
iolned hands in the fight against their only big rival
Already the Adams has gained control of upward OF
1900 miles of territory IN the Northwest, by which 1t
takes just so much business from the United states
Company"
The resident managers of the different corporations
were inclined 70 be uncommuncative on the suelec'
of the alleged fight between taem. That the Adams

ANGRY AT A CITY OFFICIAL, HE TEARS UP
DOCUMENT WORTH s1,ooo,ooo TO PITTsBURG.
Pittsburg, Nov. 16 (SpcciaL)-A great deal of sur
prise has been NANTES in Pttsburg at the fact that
a OF tho late DR.. David Hostetters business
habits and Immense wealth should die intestate
To-day the story leaked out that few weeks ago
DR.. Hostetter did make WILL which contained a
bequest giving to the city of Pittsburg a fine art
gallery and mechanics hall 1t TO cost one
million dollars, and to have been the most elab
of the kind In the United States The
will provided that the doctors oldest son must be one
OF the Board of Directors governing the institution,
be succeeded in turn at death by the eldest male
her and on, from sire to son. After this had all
settled the City Controller, acting under the ad
vice Of counsel, took step that was most unfortu-
nate for Pittsburg Or. Hostetter was bondsman for
Andrew Hartapee, a city contractor. and judgment
had been rendered against him. On that judgment
an execution was issued of the Doctors pos
sessions. lie was clearly liable, and none knew 1t
better than he this act of the Controller highly
incenscd him. and he direct to the safe deposit
company where he had placed the will, and tore the
document into shIeds He never could be induced TO
make another DR.. Hostetter said that the city ON
cals undue haste he was good Tor any amount
and would have paid 1t without the process taken.
