A NEW EXPRESS COMPANY.
EK-PIesident HOey's Plans for Another
 Big Corporation.

AsBURY PARK, N. J, Feb 1.-Ex- President Hoey of the Adams Express Company, 1t is stated, has q nice little surprise party that he will spring upon the Adams Express Comany on May next. On that day new express cont pany, to be known as the Pennsylvania Railroad Express Company, will launch out as formidable rival to the powerful corporation so long managed by Mir. Hoey.
 As 8 starter the new express company has secured the entire territory covered by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and it's various branches, this business being now controlled by the Adams peo- pie. They will also secure an entrance into all the Southern States via the Southern Express Company, who are said to be warm friends of the new cor poration.
 The new express company will be man aged by Mir. Hoey, who has as his packer, 1t is claimed, such men as President George B. Roberts, and Vice President A. J. Cassatt and Frank Thompson of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, who are lifelong friends of MT. Hoey, and sympathize with him in the unfair treat ment which it is claimed he has received from the company whose business Mir Hoey is credited with having built up
 But few men outside of MT. Hoey were aware of the fact that the contract be- tween the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany and the Adams Express Company was yearly one, expiring on the first of May each year.
 Soon after MT. Iioey was deposed, he set to work forming a new company and securing the contract, so long held by the Adams people.
 The new express company, it is claimed, will take away considerable business now done by the Adams, as they will have no means of reaching the cities entered by the Pennsylvania Rail road Company.
 It is claimed also that the new com pany will reach Boston via the New York and New England Railroad, contract having been made with MT. Austin Cor bin.
 The articles of incorporation were pre- pared by Messrs. Drexel, Morgan 6 Co.,, of New York, who are said to be heavy stockholders in the new venture.
 A prominent railroad official who is acquainted with the facts of the new concern said that it would be but a short time ere the new company will have of fees in all the principal cities of this country.
 There is no possibility for a long time of the Adams people securing the Central Railroad of New Jersey, or the Phila- delphia and Reading Railroad as an out let, as both of these roads have term contracts with the United States Ex- press Company.
 Two weeks after MT. Hoey was deposed from the Adams Company, he threatened to organize a new company, which would knock the Adams people out. His threat was laughed at as it was thought impos- sible to secure road to handle the busi-

Brief Sketch of His Career.

Rev. Charles Hadden Sturgeon was born on June 19, 1884, in Kelvedon, Essex He received an ordinary education under strong religious influences, and became very early in life an usher in a school at Nottingham, in which humble capacity he developed astonishing powers of pub lie speaking and was especially effective in religious eXhOrtation.
 His relatives, who were Independents, offered to have him trained for the min istry, but he declined because he held Paedobaptist views. Later he relin- qushed these and joined the church for merly presided over by Robert Hall at Cambridge. He became village preacher at Teversham and soon after became pastor of Baptist chapel at Waterbeach. At this period, only 17 years old, he de- livered series of discourses which at tractcd immense crowds and spread his fame through England, and even Amer ica, as the "boy preacher"
 Having been offered the chapel in New Park street, Southwark, he preached for the first time in London in 1853 with such success that the ediflce had to be enlarged to accommodate the rapidly growing congregation. At Exeter Hall, which was occupied during these altera- tions, hundreds were turned away every Sunday, being unable to get within the doors.
 The enlarged chapel in New Park street proved insufficient and the Surry Music Hall was hired to accommodate the over flow. Finally the Metropolitan Taber- nacle was built, which holds four or five thousand people, and there the famous preacher has remained to this day. Since 1853 his sermons have been published weekly and sold throughout the Pro- testant world in increasing numbers.
 In 1887 Mir. Sturgeon severed his con nection with the Baptist Union because it tolerated heretical views on the subject of hell. This gave rise to a long contro- versy. In 1888 was celebrated the deliv- cry of his 2,O00th sermon.
 The Pastors College, the Colportage Association, the Book Fund and the Sup plementary Pastors Aid Fund were all | founded by MT. Sturgeon in support of his work at the Tabernacle.
 In his illness, which began seven months ago and passed through many vicissitudes, he has had worldwide sympathy, and his devoted congregation have been untiring in their petitions to the Lord for his recovery.

Involving the Value of Cattle as Com
 pared to an Indians Life.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Court of Claims is considering most interesting :ase. The claimant is Col. John NJ. Chiv- ngton, of the First Colorado Cavalry, :nd the defendants arc the United States md the Sioux Nation. The claim is for damages on account of Indian depreda- sions committed in Wyoming in the spring of 1867.

 counter claim has been set up by Assistant Attorney General Colby, who has charge of the defence of this class of the massacre of large number of men, women and children of the Sioux Nation at Sand Creek by Colonel Chivington and his regiment on November 27, 1864 and the destruction of property belong ing to the Indians to an amount exceed ing in value that of Col. Chivington's S claim. This is one of the historic cases, and was known as the "Chivington or Sand Creek massacre" in which it was said that nearly 1,200 Indians of all ages and sexes were killed and their scalps taken and bodies mutilated by white men.

Feb. 1.-Mayor Hemp stead Washburne, of Chicago, who came to this city to place Chicago bonds for the purpose of helping to build the Worlds Columbian Exhibition, has sue ceeded in having $S, COG, 900 taken by in vestors in this city. The Illinois Legisla- ture authorized Chicago to issue $5,000,- 900 4 per cer cent. 80 year bonds, and after the proposition was voted for by the people the Common Council issued the bonds, dated January 1, 1891. Comp troller II. N. May, of Chicago, and J. J. P. Odell. of the Columbian Exposition Commission and President of the Union National Bank, also came to New York to assist the Mayor in placing the bonds. Three bids were made for $3, 900, 900 of the bonds
 A reporter saw MT. Odell and asked him if the bids had been accepted. He said they had. In fact, they were satis- fled to sell $3, ,000, 900. The other $2, ,000,, 900 could be disposed of later. Mir. Odell admitted that in Chicago the demand for the bonds was limited. In the East money was plentiful and capitalists were willing to accept per cent. interest on their money. He stated that by Sep tember 1 Sl5, GOO, 900 will have been spent in the exhibition, and to open it May 1, 1898, just $l7,000, 900 will be needed He thought no trouble would be expert enced raising the money.

 Shrewsbury Cake Recipe. Among the recipes in a manuscript cook book which has come down to it's present owner through several genera tions is one for the Shrewsbury cakes which made the pastry cooks of old Shrewsbury as famous as were those of another town for "Banbury buns" :" This is the recipe: One pound of pow dered sugar and three-quarters of 8 pound of butter to be beaten to a foam, and four eggs whipped until one can whip no more. Then add very little flour, roll as thin as possible without using much moro flour and cut in seal loped shapes. The old Shre wsbury cakes had a solitary big currant stuck in the middle. However, modern ones have all sorts of pretty finishing | touches, as stars made of blanched all monds, criss-cross of citron, whole date or fig split and imbedded in the dough.-Chicago Post.
