AN INTERVIEW BY READING REPORTER.
The Reading Eagle says one of it's representa-
tives interviewed Mr.. E. l. DUPONT OF this city,
on Monday. He says
Mr. Dupont is of medium height, neither lean
nor fat but having in almost every particular the
pbysiogonomy of real FrenehmAn. His black
ewes and determined look show that he is 9
pure lineal descendent of the chivalry of the
DAYS of William the Conqueror. We were glad
to meet Mr. Dupont aud hear from his own lips
what he knew in relation to the alleged sale.
r. believe, Mr.. Dupont, you hold controll-
ing interest in the stock of the W. & II. road
Mr. Dupont No sir, we do not hold con-
trolling interest in the stock but are among the
largest of its stockholders.
Il. Have you sold or offered for sale the W
& II. stock2
Mr.. Dupont No Sir. We have not sold any
of the stock nor have We offered any for sale.
No ono has applied for it, directly or indirectly.
and we do not intend to sell it. We hold large
amount of property along the line Of the W. Il
r. road, and have large property interests in
Pennsylvania which have been appreciated by
the road which we will not dispose Of.
II. In case of DEATH is there not probabili-
ty of your stock being placed in the market?
Mr.. Dupont. No sir. We have not disposed
of any real or personal property during the past
seventy-three years. and do not intend to do so
hereafter. Our line OF business is to sell nothing
except powder. Everything else that we pur'
chase we hold. The W. & II. road was built by
manufacturers for their use. well as to accom-
modate the business along the line. There is lit
tie probability OF ajority of the shares Of stoch
of this road passing out Of the hands OF itl
present holders, and the people Of the city oi
Beading need fear no danger Of not having COM

To the Editors of he Commercial: -.
In answer to communication in your paper,
of the 14th. over the signature OF "a member,
/ will say that the error, as stated in the Live
Policies issued by the Farmers Mutual Ere
Insurance Co., was mere clerical one, and had
no connection whatever with the cash accounts
of the Company.
The value of Insurance Notes is partly made
up OF risks, taken for portion OF the year, and
receipts from members, and cannot therefore be
arrived at by any rate of interest on the notes.
In relation to money loaned on notes, nearly
one-half of the amount stated was loaned many
years since-long before the present Board
came into the management (the two doubtful
notes being part of the same) the balance was
loaned on notes Con calD secured by collaterals,
according to resolution of the Board.
Another resolution of the Board, passed soon
after the present Board came ip, prevented any
manager from borrowing the funds of the Com
pany. This has been strictly adhered to.
AS the Books and accounts Of the Company
are at all times open to the inspection of any
of the members, cannot again use any portion
| of your valuable paper in answering questions
| in relation to the good or bad management oi
| the business of the Company.

back to the depot to wait for his new-made ac-
