Life Insurance Companies Question
the Death OF Banker Scougal.
YANKToN, S. D., Feb. 10.--A report
has been received here intimating that
the insurance companies having policies
on the late George r. Scougal would
contest payment ON the ground of con-
spiracy to defraud, through the pre-
tended death of Scougal. While there
are some circumstances connected with
his death and burial that have excited
comment here, there is no doubt of his
death. The suicide theory is advanced
rs the reason for the secrecy. Only
four persons saw the body after death.
That any one would enter into such a
conspiracy for only $4,000 insurance is
highly improbable. The wife of the de-
ceased banker has said that she would
divide $4,000 of the insurance with
the bank depositors, providing the prose
cution of w. Scougal, the surviving
partner, is dropped.

Gresham Not Talking.

CHICAGO. Feb. 10-The Herald has
the following: Judge Gresham refuses
to discuss the dispatch from New York
relative to his acceptance of cabinet
portfolio: This action ON the part of
the eminent jurist, when taken in con-
junction with the questions put to him
by The Herald reporter, is equivalent to
an acknowledgment that he has accepted
the premiership. 1t viii be readily
understood that Judge Gresham could
not talk on the subject until Mr. Cleve-
land had announced his intentions.

The Reading Road.

Thh Philadelphia aud Reading Rail
road Company has been placed in the
hands of receivers who are \. 4. Me
Leod, the President of the Company
Chief Justice, Edward NJ. Paxton of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. and
Elisha p. Wilbur ex-President of the
Iehigh Valley Railroad Co.
The suit was brought by Thomas e.
Plat of New Y ork who is a holder of
IS preference bonds amounting to 500
0oo upon which payment of interest was
refused by the Company.
The bill declares that the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad Company and the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company, through possessed of ample
properly, if the same be iudicohsly adj
ministcrcd and held together, to pay all
their Indebtedness. are insolvent in the
sense that they are without funds in the
shape of cash or assets convertible into
cash, sufficient to pay their Indebtedness
actually maturcd or which will within
Il short time mature.
The present condition OF the cOmpan-
les Is largely the result OF demands OF
loans for which there is ample security
pledged with the lenders, but which
loans the holders thereof are unwilling
at the present time to renew. The com
plainant therefore asks that the rights
of third preference bond holders be a.
ccrtainrd.
The order of the Court appointing the
Receivers directs them to continue The
business of the railroad company and OF
the coal and iron company, and cnioins
the defendants and all other persons
from interfering with the Receivers.

"those horses draw millions from the
treasury every year"

commenced 10 unload the tree of its
