road officer and lawyer of the Pennsylyfo.

a. soIM y I'm to the dining room for lunch.
H. Zen appeared to be in excellent spirits
I'D gave no apparent manifestation of any
existing trouble. AS Gowen did not make
his appearance and his room was locked,
the door was for ed and the dead man was
found lying on the floor with a pistol near
by. 1t is not known how long he had been
dead. Gowen was admitted to the bar in
1860 and in 1862 was elected district attor-
ney of ST. huykill county. He was afterwards
and Reading and by the Girard Coal
trust. Gowen conceived and established
the Philadelphia Coal and Iron company.
lie also conceived and put into operation
the movement against the famous organi-
cation known as the "Nollie Maguires."
The news of Gowen's death in Washing
ton caused great sensation at Philadel-
phia. Francis I. Gowen, nephew, was
dazed and could scarcely re over from the
shock for few minutes. Il caa form no
idea, said be, "of what motive could have
actuated HIM to taks his life" Financial
difficulties are not suggested as the incent-
i've for the act. Gowen is estimated to be
worth between 5000, 1000 nm 100000.
The remains of Franklin B. Gowen, who
committed suicide in Washington, reached
Philadelphia Sunday and were at once
conveyed to his residence at Nit. Airy. near
Germantown. The funeral took place
tuesday. It is said that Mrs. Gowen told
q close friend of the family that for ten
days previous to her husbands last visit to
Washington she had noticed something
strange in his conduct. 1t is thought by
many here that the great lawyers mind
became unbalanced through too pc sistent
application to business, and that suicide
was due to this cause.

basin, some sou in number, lived in mortal
terror of Kettle jacks band. Jack made
captive of and forced into marriage the
daughter Of leading citizen. The father

years. The other night he cid not turn

to preserve a semhlance of order. The
losses range from 81 to $50.
