Readings Future. It is becoming, every day more apparent, that a proposition has been made to extricate the company from Its difficulties and take it out of the hands of the receivers. We found our opinion, in part, upon an interview held a few days ago by Mr.

Ephraim Hiteshewj of Chambersburg, with Mr. Franklin B. Gowen, President of the Phil- adelphia and Beading Rail Road Company. Mr. Gowen assured Mr.

Hiteshew that the plan for reconstruction was a fixed fact, and that the negotiations are progressing quite as rapidly and as satisfactorily as coufd be expected.
