He is Found Dead in His Room at Wormley's, BULLET WOUND IN HIS HEAD Various Rumors as to the Cause of the Franklin B, Gowan of Philadelphis, formerly | president of the Reading Railroad company, was found dead im bis room at Wormlcy's hotel at about 1 o'clock this afternoon with » bullet wound through bis head. | Mr. Gowan 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 bad not been seen since dinner time yesterday, He sent sev. | eral times to Mr. Gowan's room and repeated knockings failed to bring any re- sponse. At length it was decided to break into the room and Policeman Cross was called ia} from his beat to assis, A man was lifted up and climbed in over the tran- som, He found the body of Mr. Gowan lying on | the floor with his bead under the table. The dead man had evidently stood up before the mirror and fired the fatal shot. The pistol was a Smith & Wesson, thirty- eight caliber, brand new. It lay on the hearth several feet from the body, Its ivory handle was crimsoned with blood. The dead man was/ very well dressed and his coat and under- | wear were soaked in blood, Through the wound in the head the brains were oozing. The body was cold, showing that death had taken place§several hours ago—probably before last midnight. Mr. Gowan’s baggage consisted of valise and a tin box of legal papers, In bis pockets in bills and coin were | $126. There were also some French coins, | evidently carried as pocket pieces, All the dead man’s 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 a patrol wagon to the morgue, A messenger was sent to Postmaster General Wanamaker, who was s friend of Mr. Gowan, and telegrams were sent to the dead man's 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. It was rumored that Mr. Gowan’s wind had of late been effected 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 a little champagne with his meals, but nothing else, He had not spent a cent, however, in liquors of any kind during this last visit. Mr. Gowen came to Wpshington on Monday last to conduct the case against southwester® railroads before the inter state commerce com- mission, and on Tuesday, Wednesday and ‘Thursday appeared as Mr, Rice's attorney in these cases, | Mr.Gowen had not been noticed about the hotel since yesterday, when he retired to his rvom. ea CHILDREN’S CHRISTMAS CLUB.
