United States Express Company
Takes Charge of the Ohio
River Division.

The United States Express 90.
will take over the express business
of the Ohio River Railroad Com
pany and its branches, relieving
the Adams Express Company,
which has had control of the bust
ness for a number of years. The
change will take place at mid. night
Saturday, and all express loaded
after that hour will be by the
United States Company. The
change includes all of the Ohio
River road from Wheeling to
Kenova, the Short Line, the Ra-
venswood, Spencer & Glenwood
and the Wildwood & Ripley roads,
total mileage of over 800 miles.
1t has been known that the
United States company would take
over the road eventually, since the
road WAS acquired by the Balti-
more & Ohio company, owing to
the latter company's agreement
with the express company. but the
Adams had a contract that does
not expire until the date named.
This change now gives the United
States Company control of all the
express business on all lines of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
The Adams has the Hooking Val.
ley out of Point Pleasant. The
Adams can, we understand, under
an agreement with the U s. Co.
maintain an Office in this city and
use the o. r line for their express
business. The Adams is by far
the oldest company here. having
been in this city for more than 25
years. and it does not appear that
the company will surrender their
good business done here in the
past, but will maintain the office
here.

Honor drear snicideu.

Mr.. Homer Greer, a prominent
man of Cairo, committed suicide
by shooting himself last Friday.
Mr.. Greer had many warm personal
friends in this city who were shook
ed to hear of his unfortunate end.
The funeral services we're conduct
ed Sunday at the home of his
father-in-Iaw, Hon. Greed Collins,
at Pennsboro, in the Collins family
graveyard at that place.
The suicide caused a sensation
in the community of Cairo, and
the general opinion is that the
deed was committed in fit of re-
morse and dependency over his
inability to control his appetite for
liquor. which had been more pro-
nounced of late than heretofore.
His business affairs are believed
to be in good shape, as he was
always considered safe business
man, and since he has been in
charge of the business of the Greer
Supply Company. he has met
with decided success. He was also
connected with several other en-
terprises in Cairo and elsewhere,
and resided in very pretty home
with his wife and two children.
He was generous and impulsive,
and was well liked by the residents
of the town, of which he had been
the Mayor for two terms. He had
been making his home and Was en-
gsged in business in Ritchie coun-
ty for about ten years. For FIVE
years he and his brother, Glen
Greer, were engaged in business in
Huntsville, the latter selling out
and going to Fairmont. Homer
Greer afterwards located in Cairo,
where he engaged in business and
had since been located there. Two
other brothers are l-cated in
Athens Ohio, where they are en-
gagged in business. aud the father
of the deceased, and other members
of the family reside in jackson
county, where they are prominent
citizens.
