There Is no particular reason to be-

between Mr.. Hartman and Mr.. Hill,
although II has been known for some
time that active war between the two
had ceased But this does not mean
that their business rivalry is any the
less acute. Both the Hill and Hartman
systems are enjoying enormous earn

panies AVE been very low. it Is nothing
more than natural that they should en-
joy a rise.

SUICIDES
 AFTER KILLING WIFE Julius Teich Followed Girl Over Two Continents to
 Win Her. HAD SEARCHED FOR YEARS Finally Found Her in New York and Murdered Her Two
 Months Later.
HAD SEARCHED FOR YEARS

New York, Aug. 21.-After search that lasted five years and covered 15,- 900 miles on two continents, Julius Ieich found the girl he loved and per suaded her to marry him, only to kill her in a fit of anger after two months of welded life and then repentent, to take his own life. @6
 Pistol shots to-day aroused the oc- cupants of the apartment house in West 126th street where Teich and his bride lived, and when the police who were hastily summoned broke into the flat they found both Telch and his wife unconscious. Both died within a few minutes
 Emily Herter lived in Germany with her parents when she first met Teich, who was a silk weaver. Telch fell in love with the girl, and wanted her to marry him. But he was possessed O. a violent temper and Emily feared him. Her parents also objected to the marriage. But Teich was insistent, so the girl left Germany secretly to es- cape him and came to America.
 This was five years ago. For two years Teich searched Germany for her, but failed to find her Then her par ents admitted to him that she was in America, but refused to tell him where. x ,thng daunted, the young man came to America and renewed his search. He hunted over New York for months, but fail,a to find her. Then he went to Mini eapolis, St. Louis, Philadelphia and Scranton, where he thought the girl had friends, but his search was useless He returned to New York 8 few months ago and one day accident ally me; Emily on the street. She was living here with an aunt In spite of her eunt's objection, Emily finally con- sented to marry the man who had been so faithful in his search for her.
 Nelghbors in the house say that there was a quarrel in the Teich apart ment this morning because Emily re- fused to get up to breakfast. Sharp words and pistol shot followed. Then pleading words for forgiveness from Julius was followed by another shot, When the police broke in the door they found the couple unconscious and sent them to a hospital, where both soon after died.

CHESHIRE FARMERS FEARFUL.
Country Very Dry and Fire Might Be
 Disastrous.


 Two or three small fires starting in the dray fields about Cheshire and Mt. Carmel, but which were quickly ex- tinguished by farmers, have led the res- idents of those towns to wonder how they would escape a serious confagra- tion if fire should once get a good start in the dry fields, and pasture lands in that section. Water is at premium near Cheshire. the brooks are almost dried up, and but little water is in the wells and cisterns of the farmers Should a fire once get a start during the night or even in the daytime, in the vicinity of Cheshire. the farmers fear that they would be almost power less to prevent in any way whatever the spread of the flames. we'll known farmer living in the vicinity of Mt Carmel said: "The fields are as dry as finder. and with the least mite of a wind to fan it, blaze could sweep over a large number of farms in this section, and completely destroy the lit- tie that the hot rays of the sun have left us of our crops. I think 1t would be an advisable thing for the farmers of this section to arrange upon some signal like the shooting of guns, SO that if a farmer discovered blaze upon his lands, he could in very short time rally all the men for a number of miles around to aid in fighting it. In fact, I think that if rain does not come soon this course will be adopted"

LARGER DIVIDENDS
 ASKED FROM PLATT Shareholders of United Express Company Have Received
 Four Per Cent. EARNINGS MUCH HIGHER Letters Sent by Senator and
 by Stockholders
 Published.

New York, Aug. Following the publication yesterday of a letter given out by Senator Thomas c. Platt, pres ident of the U. s. Express company in reply to a request from certain stock holders of the company for an increas- ed dividend, the applicants to-day gave out letter sent to shareholders in gen. eral on May ? of this year. In the let ter, which is signed by A. L. Banister, and Samuel s. Hatt as shareholders committee, the support of all holders of stock in the company is asked. To off, set the expenses attendant upon their efforts to obtain an increased dividend, 1t is suggested that each shareholder pledge himself to pay for preliminary expenses the sum of fifty cents upon each share of stock held by him, and in event of the desired end being ob- tained, an additional sum not to ex- ceed SIPS on each share.
 The letter to shareholders declares hat the net earnings of the company for the past five years has been from Il to 15 per cent. annually while the dividends paid during these years have never exceeded four per cent They say also that the property has increas- ed enormously in value, that the capi- tai stock has been increased from $500,0OO to $10,O0O0OO and the assets from few hundred thousands to at least $15,0Oo,OOO and that no sharehold- CT ever has had to pay one cent. on account of his personal liabilities. As result of an investigation of the company's books, the committee esti- mated that the net earnings of the en- suing year would be fully 15 per cent.
 Accompanying the letter was copy of the following resolution with re- quest that the shareholder sign and for ward it to the officers of the United States Express company:
 Whereas, It is believed by number of the shareholders of this association that they should receive a large net annual return on the par of their hold ings, and
 "Whereas, Thereis no intention to cri- ticise either the motives or the judg- ment of the management of the com pany. but a single desire to obtain what the shareholders are reasonably entitled to, as far as the same can be done consistently with safe and con servative management
 "We respectfully petition and re- quest you to take such action as will enable the shareholders to receive at least seven per cent upon the par val ue of thir holdings so long as the net earnings shall not materially decrease.
 "We further respectfully petition you to call meeting of the shareholders to be held within seventy days after the presentation of this petition to re- ceive your report of your action in the premises, and to consider and transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting"
