FRANKLIN 3. GOWEN,
RAILROAD PRESIDENT.

Unfortunate speculation without the
defalcation feature brought about the
self-i3fiicted death of Franklin b.
Gowen. president OF The Philadelphia
& Reading railroad, and one of the
most brilliant and successful lawyers
in the Keystone state He shot him
self in December. 1889. but as the
deed was committed in Washington
and not in Philadelphia, the circum-
stances became known within "a
hours. The belief was general that
he had been murdered by agents of
the Mollie Maguires. in revenge for
the active part he took in suppressing
that band of thugs.
The fact that Gowen had taken his
own life was established the next day,
and then began an investigation as to
.he possible cause. The moral charac-
scr of the great lawyer was above re-
proach. His life had been singularly
ciean, and his reputation never had
been tarnished by even as much as the
breath of scandal He died without
having made will and when an ap-
praisal of his estate was made 1t was
found that he had left but $450,000 in
personal and real property of an estate
which in his lifetime was estimated to
be worth between s2,00O,0O0 and 49,
100000. He had been induced to in
vest in southern lands. where it is be-
iieved he suffered great losses. The
full particulars never were revealed,
but there was no other reason to as
cribe than Respondent desperation
brought on by investments which i'm.
paired a considerable fortune.

CONGRESSMAN ADAMS,
HIMSELF ONLY VICTIM.

Robert Adams. Jr., familiarly known
as "Bertie" Adams. former minister to
Brazil, prominent as one of the orig
inal explorers of the Yellowstone re-
gion and member of congress from the
Second district of Pennsylvania. COM
mitted suicide by shooting in his
apartments in the Metropolitan club,
Washington, on the 1st day of last
June. Wildcat speculation was di-
rectly responsible. He died absolute
ly penniless, having dissipated for
tune of 100000. He left a note ad-
dressed to Speaker Cannon. in which
he said that as his personal obliga-
tlons exceeded his resources he was
obliged to abandon the responsible
position he held in the house of rep
resentatives. The congressman lost
money at cards. but the greater part
of his wealth went in land invest
ments and in loans on worthless Sc
curities. He sent good money after
bad in the hore of recovery.
The Elbert County tribune., 1906-09-20

Without any previous knowledge of
newspaper making he succeeded in
gaining control of a small newspaper
called the Public Record. He changed
its makeup and its general method of
treatment of the topics or the day, and
astonished the town by reducing the
price to one cent
He became Democratic candidate
for governor and made a canvass of
the state in a special train. He had
then gone into the breeding of blood
ed horses and had one Futurity vic
tory to his credit-the capture of
100000 in stake and bets by Nor
relic in the season of 1892.
Spreading out still further, Singer
ly went into banking and organized
two institutions. Reckless loans drove
him to the wall, and in 1897 both
banks failed
On February 81. 1898. Mr.. Singerly
died suddenly in his home. The story
was given out that heart disease had
carried him of, aggravated by his
financial troubles. After his death
the community was startled to learn
that he was in debt to the defunct
Chestnut Street bank to the extent of
100000. which he had borrowed on
collateral security of $4,000.
