LEASED THE P. & W. ROAD.

The United States Express Company Gets
in Ahead of the wells-F -Fargo-The Lat
ter Concern, However, Will Not Ee
Shut Out of Pittsburg.
1t was announced yesterday that the con-
tract of the Wells Fargo Express Company
with the Pittsburg and Western read
would expire March I, and that
the United States Company had Sc
cured a lease over the line. General
Superintendent De Witt, of Cleveland,
is in the CITY, but he couldn't be located at
any of the hotels, and it is not known what
the Wells, Fargo Company intends to do.
The lease of the road to the United States
people was no surprise, as the latter COM
pany bought out the old B. 81 o. Express
Company, and it is thought that an agree
ment was made with the B. & O. Road
at the time of the purchase that the
United States Company should operate
over all acquired lines AS the Pittsburg
and Western now belong to the Baltimore
and Ohio, the Fargo Company natur-
ally had to stand aside. In the future the
line of the Baltimore and Ohio through
Pittsburg to Chicago instead of sending ex-
press matter around by Wheeling.
One of the employees of the WellsEFargo
Company said last evening: 81 don't think
the new deal will throw us out of Pitts
burg, but We may have to give up our local
business over "a miles of road
to Leavittsburg, where we connect
with the Erie system to Chicago
We are not serious competitors of
the United States Company, and the
loss of the local traffic would not make a
difference of more than 10 per cent in our
annual receipts from Pittsburg. AS a rule,
one third of the local traffic is milk, and as
the Pittsburg and Western retained the
milk business and charged it to the passen-
ger department, we didn't get the benefit.
The Pttsburg and Western runs
through fine dairy country, and the bag
gage men of the road looked after the milk
shipments. If worse come to worse, think
we can easily make an arrangement with
the American Express Company to use the
Lake Erie road from Pittsburg. The two
express companies are like twins,
and have always worked in
harmony. In addition all the
express companies have an agreement to
maintain rates, or there would be little
profit in the business. A company couldn't
afford to show an ugly spirit in one section
of the country, as the others would re-
taliate somewhere else. The Wells-Fargo
will continue, as usual, to have an office in
Pittsburg,'

ifSCEinated.

If Nominated.
Ez-Cougressman John 5. Wise, of Vir-
ginia, the general counsel for the Edison
Electric Comgany, was passenger on the
beIated Eastern express last evening for
New York. Mr. Wise said he didn't know
whether the consolidation with the Thomson
Houston Company would knock him out Of
a Job or not, but he was not giving himself
much concern about il. The Nirginian pre-
ferred to talk politics, and like most Re-
pubIicans regretted the declInation of Mr.
Blaine.
y suppose Harrison will now be renomi-
mated, - he said. Il have no faith in Clark
son and his alleged opposition to the Presi-
dent. That man is full of tricks, and you
can't put any dependence on him. l un-
derstand Quay and Cameron have been
pacified, and it wouldn't surprise me at all
ii the report is true. Over in New York
the Republicans were never so badly de-
moralized They lack leadership, and vet,
there is plenty of material in the State.
As soon as little Tom Platt shows
his hand, it is the signal
for vigorous onslaught, and it means the
loss of $1,000 votes. But oh, Lord, deliver
me from the Tammauy gang. They are

take in regard to the strike of the machin-

and this decision has been telegraphed to
the members of the Executive Board at diff

son to believe, from the action of the strik-

mended strike on the whole system. This,
however, is contingent upon the vote of the
Executive Board.
