It has been truthfully said that Jay Gould was ono of tho most remarkable products of ' American civilization.

Among the leaders lu tho opposition to his schemes wei o men as ambit lous and as grtt d of gain, It not equally as brilliant, as himself.

There Is not a doubt that his Influence In tho Held of bpeculattvo enterprise lias been uioi e potent than that of any man of his day nnd geneinllon.

Jny said lie could, and eompletetl tho i "noon mark" thai afternoon, 'lhe fanner paid him n dollar for his work. After this Jay plucked up tourngo ngalii nnd with the other two assistants of the ut scondlng sun eyor went on and completed t ho map. He afterwards sold out to his two as sociates for .100. This was In December, , lblW. HU I'Trat Visit tn New York. Ja Gould made his llrst islt to New Yotk IhlH.Vl. He brought with him uu Ingenious, iiioiif,o-lrap which ho had ltnented and wliUh he Intended to exhibit nnd perhaps dispose ot at a good profit, lie got Into u hoise-cnr to I ido uptown, placing his pad age cm the seat. A thief, who Imagined It might contain uilu ubles, tried to run away with It, but Jay caught him and regained possession of his uiouse-trnp. Tho Intention was not a success, and Jay went back into tho country nnd made his 11 lngnt sunejlng for souual jears. During this tlmo ho mndo tho ucnu'ilntnndo of Zadoc Pratt, of PratlHMIle, who owned tho laigest tannery In tho State. HewasseMtiO jears old nnd took a gteat fancy to young Jay Gould, who soon afterwards went Into his employ and eventually became tho partner of l'ratt. Gould Induced hlm to start another tannery In 1'cunsjlvnnlu, near the bortfy, along the llneot tho Delaware, Latkaw anna and West ern road, and Gould himself cut tho first hem-' lock In tho camp. Theio was iyo,ooo cap ital represented In the business, which was run by Jay. llo had things all to himself and Is snld to have made enormous profits out of the business. l'ratt, nt any rate, became dlssitlstled with his partner's operations nt Gouldsboro, as tho l'ennsjlvanla tannery wits called, awl t thought the books did not show protlts enough. When ho began to get suspicious, Gould, who had made tho acquaintance of several wealthy leather merchants of tho " bwamp," Hi New York, Induced one of them, named Leupp, to advance him (li),000, with which ho bought out Pratt's interest lutho tannery, giving Leupp a mortgage on tho place. ' It is said that Gould treated Leupp In the samo w ay, and, niter ho had made all he could out of the tannery, he sold tho property to Leupp for several times Its nctual value. Iho panic ef 18.1T camo on, nnd Leupp be- enme hopelessly Involved lu bankruptcj and shot himself In his maguinceiit house on Mad ison avenue. I It Is alleged that, In addition to gouging Leupp lu tho tnnnciy deal, Gould, who nt this lime had begun to famlllarlro himself with1 stock transactions In New York, had Involved his patron in soino exceedingly disastrous deaU, which precipitated his failure, while Gould proiltcd by the catastrophe. j on Hlack Friday Gould was openly accused by his enemies of having killed Leupp. '1 his lsaucplsodo In his career, however, upon which Gould has never shown a disposition to shed any light. Ills I'irnt Itullruad Venture. Gould engaged In his first rnllwu) enter terprlscln lnr7, when ho bought thu bonds of thultutlund and Washington llnllroad at 10 cents on the dollar. Ho savs ho bought them with borrowed money, probably Leupp's, and that ho llnnlly too!; charge of the road. Ho sold out afterwords at a fair I profit, but tho purchasers found they had got ver Httlo for their money. ) About this tlmo Gould married and ennio to New York to lite. Ills next venture was In Cleveland und Plttsbuig bond?. Ho bought 1 ut 40 and then ran tho prlco up to mo, at (which hu got out and left thu road to lake I caro of ltFulf.

I I 1 lie history ot tho Wcjtcrn Union Company ' also clearly illti-trates tho methods by which Gould obtained his control of vast properties and worked them to his own advantage.

Although Gould wns ono ot tho heaviest operators Wall street ever had, ho was ntver n member of tho Btock Kxchangc.

Alter the dissolution of Smith, Gould j & Martin, Gould became a silent partner In I the firm of Ilcldcn & Co., and then In the firm of W. K. Connor Co., with whom ho was as sociated for ten years. He la said to have re garded Connor as ono of tho ablest lieuten ants ho ever had. fcevernl of his largest deals vv ere engineered by such men as Charles H. Osborn and William Heath. In the panic of 1K83 It Is generally believed that Gould was very near!) driven to tho wall.
