BAY STATE GAS COMPANY.
Dismissal of Application for Receivers
Unexpectedly Held Back.

Dismissal of Application for Receivers
Unexpectedly Held Back.
Philadelphia, Dec. THE application
for the appointment of receivers for the
Bay State Gas company was on the
very point of dismissal from the docket
of the United States circuit court by
Judge Dallas this evening, in conse-
quence of an amicable agreement hav-
ing been reached between the complain
ing bond-holders and J. Edward Ad-
dicks and the other officers of the COM
pany, when an objecting motion was
interposed by ex-senator Higgins of
Delaware, which motion again holds the
case, for time at least, in the same
position it has been in for years past,
Mr.. Higgins stated that he represented
Thomas C. Baxter of Boston, holder of
a $1,000 bond in the company, and he
asked that his client be allowed to in
tervene in the suit.
This move of Senator Higgins was
quite a surprise to the other attorneys
and to Mr.. Addicks, as it was known
that the client, whom Mr.. Higgins had
represented earlier in the day, had join
ed the other suitors in the agreement
for a dismissal of the application, and
further objection was unlocked for. At
ter brief discussion Judge Dallas con-
tinued the case until Friday morning
next. when he will hear arguments on
Mr.. Higgins motion to intervene.
The application for rule to show
cause why receivers should not be ap-
pointed for the Bay State Gas company,
and why a preliminary injunction
should not be issued. was filed in the
United States circuit court at Whining
ton, Del, ON November II, 1896, in the

DEATH OF JOHN ROWAN.

A Well Known Citizen and Prominent
in Scottish Circles.
The members of the Scottish commun-
ity resident in New Haven and many
others will learn with unfeigned regret
Of the decease of Mr.. John Rowan at his
residence 6S Kensington street. 1t oc-
Cured yesterday morning at ten min
utes to two o'clock, and was the climax
of a long and painful illness extending
over period of two years. A distinct
change for the worse has been notice
able for about ten days past, and the
end was, in some measure anticipated.
The deceased gentleman was born in
Ayrshire, Scotland, years ago. He con-
sidered it no small honor to be native
of the same country as Robert Burns,
of whom he was a great admirer and
enthusiastic student. He came to this
country about thirty years ago and had
been resident of New Haven for TWEEN
ty-five years. He was salesman with r.
Veiteh & Sons, florists, for the fifteen
years preceding his illness. 1t was dur
ing this period that he formed so large
a range of acquaintance and friends.
He was a charter member of Clan Nc
| Leod, No. 81, o. S. c., and so long as
his health permitted him, he took a
lively and most intelligent interest in
its affairs. He was greatly respected
by his brother clansmen, by all the
Scotch people of New Haven and by a
host of acquaintance. His loss will be
mourned by all who knew him, for to
know him was to love and respect him.
4 great reader and intelligent thinker.
he made most delightful companion
and conversationalist. OF broad human
sympathies, large hearted and generous,
he was ever ready to extend a helping
hand, give word of good counsel, and
condone a fault. AS a man and citizen
he will be missed and mourned, but
who can estimate his loss as husband
and father? The warmest sympathies
| of all who knew him in life are now ex-
| tended to his sorrowing widow and chill
dren, with the prayer that He who has
| given and has taken away, will in His
own good time heal the aching wounds
and send peace to the troubled hearts.
Farewell! dear husband, father, friend,
Thou has attained eternal rest;
May He, who doeth all things well,
Guide us to say, Goods will is best. "
Mr.. Rowan leaves a widow and seven
| children-three sons and four daugh-
| tiers, the youngest of whom is a girl ten
years of age. The funeral will take
place on Thursday afternoon at 2:30 and
will be under the charge of Clan Nc
| Leod No. 81, Order of Scottish Clans
| and the impressive ceremony of the or
der will be performed at the grave.
