MIR. GOWANs SUICIDE.
He is Found Dead in His Room at
Wormlsy's.
BULLET WOUND IN HIS HEAD
Various Rumors a. to the Cause of the
Fatal Act

Franklin B. Gowan OF Philadelphia, formerly
president Of the Reading Railroad company,
was found dead in his room at wormley's
hotel at about O'Clock this afternoon with Q
bullet wound through his head
Mr.. Gowau registered at wormley's on last
Monday, the 9th. He was alone and was given
room for the week. This afternoon the clerk
began to suspect that something had happened
to Mr.. Gowan, for he had not been seen
since dinner time yesterday. He sent sew
eral times to Mr.. Gowan's room and
repeated knockings failed to bring any re-
Spouse. At length ii was decided to break into
the room and Policeman Cross was called In
from his beat to assist A man vas
lifted up and climbed in over the tran
som.
He found the body of Mr.. Gowan lying on
the floor with his head under the table.
The dead man had evidently stood up
before the mirror and fred the fatal
shot The pistol was Smith d Wesson. thirty
eight caliber, brand new. II lay on the hearth
several feet from the body. Its ivory handle was
crimsoned with blood. The dead man was
very we'll dressed and his coat and under
wear were soaked in blood. Through
the wound in the head the brains
we're oozing. The body was cold,
showing that death had taken place9several
hours ago-probably before last midnight
Mr.. Gowan's baggage consisted OF a
valise and tin box Of legal
papers. In his pockets in bills and coin were
Sl26. There we're also some French coins,
evidently carried as pocket pieces. All the
dead mans effects were taken to the central
station.
Nobody about the hotel had at anytime
heard the pistol shot. Aid was called and
the body removed in q patrol wagon
to the morgue. A messenger was sent
to Postmaster General wanamaker, who
was friend of Mr.. Gowan, and
kilograms were sent to the dead
mans friends in Philadelphia. Notice
was at once sent to the coroner who made pre-
parations for an inquest.
No cause can be assigned for the rash shot.
1t was rumored that Mr.. Gowan's mind had of
late been affected by the severe strain
under long railroad litigation.
Mr.. Florence, the head clerk at the hotel,
says that Mr.. Gowen was in the habit Of taking
little champagne with his meals, but nothing
else.
He had not spent cent however, in liquors
of any kind during this last visit.
Mr.. Gowen came TO Washington on Monday
last to conduct the case against Southwestern
railroads before the inter state commerce COM
mission, and on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday appeared as Mr.. Rices attorney in
these cases.
Mr. Gowen hadnot been noticed about the hotel
since yesterday, when he retired to his room.

New YORK, Dec. 14.-The trading in the gen.
eral list in the stock market this morning was
extremely light, but considerable animation
was shown in few stocks, such as sugar re-
fneries, Lackawanna, Reading and Missouri
Pacific, which saved the dealings from COM
plete stagnation. The opening figures in most
OF the active stocks were unchanged from those
OF last evening, but strong tone developed
Immediately and fractional advances were the
rule in the early dealings. or these the most
important were Is in Lackawanna, q each in
Kansas and Texas, Atchison and Chicago, and
East Illinois preferred, and 4 in Missouri Pa
cifc. while the trusts exhibited more pro-
noun ed strength, and sugar advanced IL to
3l1a and Chicago gas to 4l14. There was no
cha &c IN the character of the dealings and at
ii O'Clock the market was dull but strong at
the best prices of the hour.
