A Philadelphia era dispatch reports that Drexel, Morgan & Co. prepared articles for a Pennsylvania Railroad Express Company to rival Adams Express after May 1. John Hoey, ex-president of Adams, would head the new firm with George B. Roberts A F Cassell and Frank Thompson of the Pennsylvanian railroad.
