The Philadelphia court having decid-
ed that the McCalmont president and
board of directors Of the Reading rail-
road were chosen at the late election,
an appeal will Of course be taken to the
supreme court, and it is not likely that
a decision will be had in time to make
any change in the direction of the CON-
pany before January next, when a new
election will be held, and Mr.. Gowen and
his board be again chosen, if he retains
the commanding majority of the stock
which he now holds. The Reading road
being in the hands of Mr.. Gowen and
his fellow receivers, the new board
would have but husks to feed on even
if they could get possession of
their places. The only effect of this
decision of the lower Philadelphia courts
is topostpone the carrying out of the plan
of reorganization which Mr.. Gowen has
persuaded the majority of the stockhOld-
ers to favor, until next year. This
probably is well for the stock as in that
time it may be possible to formulate /,
plan even more beneficial to the owners
of the road, to save it from its creditors
clutches.

three of his children to him and kissed
them goodbye and did the same to his
wife. Then he sat down in a chair and
seemed lost in thought. After some time,
as he did not take any notice of her, the
wife went to spring near by for water
with one of her children. While absent
she heard the report of a gun, and upon
entering the house. found her husband
upon the floor, with the top Of his head
blown off and his brains and pieces of the
skull spattered all over tho the walls and
ceiling.
Mrs. Freeman was at first disinclined to
say anything about the matter. but finally
said to the coroner's jury : g Well, he is
dead now and l dare tell" She then
made startling revelation that her hus
band was implicated in the murder of a
man in Janesville, Wisconsin, some time
ago, and that he had something to do with
a mysterious affair that happened when a
man was thrown from the bridge that
spans the Susquehanna. Freeman had a
bad reputation and always carried a knife
and pistol. 1t is thought that his wife
preferred to see him kill himself rather
than run the risk of having him judicially
executed.
