THE READINGS INTEREST.
Two Persons Who Are large Stockholders to
be Placed In the Board of Directors -Rea-
sons Given for this Move.
snecial TO the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 6.-The
agreement between the conflicting inter-
ests in the Reading railroad will result
in placing Thomas Dolan and Henry G.
Gibson in the board of directors. 1t also
indicates the retirement of President
Corbin from the Office as soon as the
voting trust shall expire, year bencs.
This statement is made upon the best
Of authority. ''This agreement will
have q beneficial result upon the com :
pany, - raid a Reading stockholder to-
day, Gas it will place two persons in the
board who are large stockholders them
selves, and who have direct interest in
the prosperity OF the property. 1t is
not known who will retire from
the board to make way for
them. It is natural to suppose
that people having the least interest in
the company will retire. You see nearly
the entire board represents bondholders,
while Gibson and DOlan may be looked
upon as representatives of the stock
holders. 1t is questionable whether Mr..
Corbin VIII be a candidate for re-
election upon the expiration of the voting
trust, and Furthermore, even if he should
be, it is hardly likely that the stockhold-
ers will elect 8 man who is not recog-
nized as being connected with Philadel-
phia and Pennsylvania interests. Cor
bins interests are in New York. In all
probability a Philadelphia will be elect
ed. With the advent of the new
directors it is hoped that
brighter era will dawn
upon the Reading. 1t is presumed that
the policy will be to find out what is the
backbone of the company, and then they
will seek to strengthen that in every
way. For instance, the company does
not seem to be doing Its share in the
shipment of coal, though 1t Is the largest
owner of coal lands The Lee
high Valley shipped more coal last
month than the Reading, though the
Lehigh Valley owns less coal. Reading
owns 80 per cent. of the coal territory
and 46 per cent. of the coal deposit Of
Pennsylvania. 1t is estimated
that there is stored within
this territory 200 900 900 tons.
This is worth more than the entire debt
of the road amounts to. In entering the
Readings board both Mr.. Gibson and
Mr.. Dolan Will do so at the sacrifice OF
men and have much business. Neither
gentleman was ambitious to enter the
board, but it so happened that interests
contemporary with theirs insisted that
they should do So

MURDERoUS TRAMPS.
Upon Being Ordered from Box Car
They Assault the Conductor.
They Beat and Knife Him and Then Use e
Pistol, Wounding Him Fatally-FOur
of the Gang Arrested.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April GA special
from Lima SAYS: AS the third section of
freight train No. 90, east bound, on the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago rail-
way, was pulling into g long sidetrack, q
half mile west of this city, at CLOCK
this afternoon, Conductor Gardner J
lucky found six tramps getting into
box car of the train. He ordered them
TO leave the train, and to
get out lively. One of the
tramps said to him, ''You
will be the first man to get out. At
this moment lucky grappled with the
man, when one of his companions dis
charged gun in the car. The train
was moving during the occurrence, and
had reached the Main street crossing
when a target man, hearing the report OF
revolver, ran to the car with q flag stick
which he gave to the conductor and en-
deavored to get into the car to aid him but
in trying to get hold of the stick Tuoky
was showed off the car to the ground.
Meantime the tramps jumped out of the
door on the north side of the train.
Lucky climbed over the train, and as
he alighted on the opposite side one of
the gang produced revolver, which
Lucky wrenched out of his hands.
Two others cut him, holding each
Of his arms so that he was
powerless to defend himself. Then an
other one of them placed a 3S-caliber re-
voIver at the conductor 3 left side and
fired, the ball taking effect in
the region, but a little below,
of the heart. The trsmps then started
to run north on Main street, lucky
brayely started in pursuit, but soon fell
exhausted from the loss of blood.
There was q number of men on the
street at the time who would have given
the conductor their assistance, but they
could not cross over the track as the train
blocked the way.
lucky was picked up and carried TO
the nearest drug store, where he received
medical assistance. The doctor decided
that the wound will prove fatal.
Police went in search of the tramps
and arrested four of them after lively
chase of about three miles out of the
city. They were identified by lucky,
one of them as the man who fired the
shot. He was examined and a S. caliber
revolver with one empty chamber was
found on his person.
Intense excitement was created by the
shooting, and large crowd gathered at
the jail, ready to hang the tramp on
sight, but cooler judgment prevailed.
lucky was removed to the parlor of
the Burnet house, and his ante-mOrtem
statement was taken by the prosecuting
attorney.
The tramps were brought over from
the jail and again identified by the dying
conductor. He picked out one of them
as the one that did the shooting. He
gave his name as william Thomas of
Springfield, Ohio. The other parties
arrested give names as Lewis Duebret of
Columbus, and Charles Sagerman, VIII
liam Mack.
Tuoky is still living, but he cannot
recover. He is a member of the Con-
ductors' brotherhood, and the local
brotherhood is giving him all possible
care.
