Little Apparent Effeot of His
Death in the Stook Market
or Wall Street,

Be Not Tjoss Than One Hun
dred Million Dollars.
Jay Gould, tbe famous financier and rail
road magnate, died at his borne, 570 Fifth
avenue, at ais o'clock this morning.
Mr. Gould's death was apparently painless,
lie was conscious at the last, and his bedside
was surroundeJ by all tbo members of bis
family.
Mr. Gould died In a room on tbo second
floor of bis tiorao In the extension In tbo rear
ct tbe building, Just over tbe conservatory,
the same room In which his wile died.
A few moments beforo tbo end Mr., Gould
expressed a desire tu bid bis family good-by.
Then be looked tenderly Into the faco of each
one, smiled at each and all was over.
Although the event was not unexpected,
tbo pulllo mind having been prepared for tbe
bcws by tbe publication In yesterday's Evkn
ino Would of tbe facts of bis critical Illness,
tho announcement that the end had come
created Intense excltoment among business
men all over tbe city.
Tbo direct cause of Mr. Gould's death Is
said to bavo been exhaustion caused by hem
orrhages from tbe stomach, of which be is
reported to have bad three. The first was
Thanksgiving Day, tbe next two days later,
and tbe third last Wednesday. Ills children
abundoned hope of his recovery yesterday
alt rnoon.
That tbo death of Mr. Gould bad not been
looked for so soon by bis children and by his
pnytlclan, Dr. Munn. Is evident by tbo early
niornlngrcpoftsglten out at lboboute to tbe
effect that tbe patient's condition was ap
parently unchanged.
1 1 was Just 0.30 o'clock vncn Dr. Munn
called bis vv ire up on tho telepbono and notl
Oil her that Mr. Gould badjust passed away.
About tho same time a bulletin announcing
tholactof Mr. Gould's death was posted lu
tbe Western Union Building.
For fully twenty minutes after this, re
porters who called at Mr. Gould's house wero
refused confirmation of tbo report.
Undertaker John Main's wagon was driven
up to the Gould house at 1 0.1)5 this forenoon.
It came from :r West Forty-fourth street.
Main Is sexton of Dr. I'axton'B church, at
which Mr. Gould was an attendant.
'i be presence of this wagon confirmed be
yond doubt tho presence of death, and a crowd
began to congrcgato on tho street and sure
at the curtained window s.
Tho undertaker's assistants lifted out a
Urge Ice-box covered with black cloth and
carried It Into the house.
Within halt an hour after tbe death was
announced District Messenger boys were
huirylng in and out of tbe rear entrance.
They hal been called to carry tho news to
tho Immediate friends of the family.
Then began an almost unending procession
of private ranlages, Tbe vehicles drew up
i the door, tl.e occupants stepped out, and
mounting the steps of the mansion, left their
cards and condolences.
Cbaunccy Depcw passed the house on hit
way downtown, accompanied by two little
girls, about ten J minutes after Mr.

Coins I'. Huntington drovo up to tbe hcuso
at a 30 and, alighting at the door, Inquired
as to the condition of Mr. Gould.
When told that the great financier was
dead, ho re-entered Ms carriage An Ktinino
World reporter caught him as he w as leaving
and asked what effect, In his '0 lnlon, Mr.
Gould's death would havo on Wall street
affairs. Ills reply was:
None whatever. Men are Individuals;
property doesn't die. Mr. Gould's property
Is leit In' just the same shape as It was
before his death, and Mr. Oeorgo Gould is
perfectly competent to take up the burden
where Ms father laid It down."
Mr. Edwin Gould Uvea Just back of the
Gould mansion, at l But Forty-seventh
street. The curtains of this houfe wero
drawn Immediately after Mr. Edwin Gould
entered on leaving his father's house.
The Gould family tomb la In Woodlawn

acre of ground overlooking Woodlawn Lake.
It Is known as tbe " Lakevlew Plot " and Is a

The mausoleum Is a copy of tbo rarthenon,
and was designed by F. T. Fltz Mabony. It
is built throughout of Westerly (It. I.)
granite, and Its dimensions are: S3 feet
wide, 33 feet loni and SO feet high to the
apex of tho roof.
There are twenty catacombs In tho mauso
leum. Tbe tomb ltsolr cost '$100,000, and
tbe first member of the family It received

ltev. Dr. Faxton, pastor of the church at
wblch Mr. Gould was a worshipper, called at
the Gould residence early this morning.
When be came out be said to an Eykninu
World reporter that tbe death.bod scene
was most affecting. He corroborated the
statement made by another friend of the
family as to Mr. Gould calling bis children to
his bedside and bidding them each good-by.
" Tbe end.was peaceiul and painless," said
he, "and tbe children bore up as well as
could be expected under their grief."

His Children and His Physician
Watched nt Hla liedelde
From Information given out at tbo residence
Ot Jay Gould, 570 Fifth avenue, tbli morning
It was evident that the great financier wus
rapidly tearing death; so rapidly, lu fact,
that tbo end was merely a question of hours.
Yesterday's Eyimno Worlb told of the
steady Increaso In tbo alarming symptoms ut
bis Illness, which was sold to be iicuior
rbage of tbe stomach, a.though Dr. Munn,
bis attending physician, decllnod to make
publlo any particulars regarding tbo ,sul
ferer's complaint, v
Up to 7 o'clock last night tho butler at (be
front ooor of the Gould reildcncc would say
nothing except that "Mr. Gould Is resting
quietly. Th-ro Is no change."
When evening came, however, all of sir.
Goul.1'8 family were gathered nl his home.
Amon? tuetu were Mr. and Mrs. George
Gould, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Gould, Miss Helen
Gould, Mr. Howard Gould, Mr. Harold Gould ,

it was tald that Mr. Gould was conscious, but
so weak that ho was unablo to sneak.
At u o'clock last evening Mr. George Gould
sent out a note to a caller, wblch bore the j
tlrst official information of the evening. It
read simply :
" My father Is very low."
During tho evening many friends of tbe
family called, but few obtained any definite
Information. Atlloclocc it was reported
tbat Mr. Gould irns unconscious and at mid.
night that he was sinking rapidly.

At 1 o'clock this morning all tbo lights In

At 7.15 Mrs. Kdnln Gould left the bouse
and drove an ay in a carriage.
At 7.45 It was said at tho bouso tbat Mr.

Information was secured through a friend of
Mr. Ceorgo Gouid, to whom tbe latter had
sent word that his father was err low, but
be could not say whether the worst wa likely
to ensue duilnj tbo day or not.
I'eople were stirring In tbo Gould mansion
at a very early hjur this morning. Miorlly

said, to Inquire about the d) lag millionaire.
" Mr. Gould was .x good Irlend of mine," ho

Several small groups ot nun were quickly

When tho Block Kxcbange opened thero
was no great apparent excitement. 'Ihe

Tbe transactions In stocks during the first '
ball hour of business were only a little larger
than usual, aggregating 73,41):! shares ot
listed stocks and 13,475 of, unlisted.
It was reported on tho street that Mr. Gould
had put Into the bands of trustees tbe bulk
otbls property, to beheld durlugtbo llto of
bis children. The three stocks ut w blch bis
holdings nro thus spoclally trusteed are
Western Union, Manhattan Elevated and
Missouri Pacific.
Mr. John T. Perry, an Intimate friend of
Mr. Gould and a director ot tbe Western
Union Telegraph Company, said this morn
ing: " Mr. Gould stated recently that he had
trusteed his holdings of Manhattan Elevated.
Western Union and Missouri Pacific, and
tbat they could not be sold."
If tbls Is so, tbe Gould Interest in tbeso
stocks Is tied up, and tbey cannot bo dumped
upon the market, and tbe prices are likely to
remain firm.
The Gould boys. George and Edwin, bavc
been credited for a long time with being

The murder ot Andrew Borden and wife, ?"a

The murder was a mystery. It was doas'
well towards mtdday.'Nobody had been Beev
to enter nor leave the house. ;
Tho police ran down cine after cine In vala. t
I A suspicion that Ltizle Borden knew moroj
than she cared to tell about the crime deep- ft
ened at last Into a suspicion ot ber owaVr?
guilt. M
She was first put under police eepIonag-l
Then, on Aug. il, she was arrested andtorwvj
many charged with the murder ot her tatheg.W
she has been a prisoner ever since. WW
People generally have been loth to beueVi
In her guilt. The evidence against her at tkajjl
preliminary inquiries was weak. jH
She claims to have been in tbe bam for half
f an hour at the very time ot day whan tfesjjfl
murders were committed. t4)9
Hhe has borne herself calmly through UmS
wholo period since her arrest, was, nnmovajlS
In the court-room, and If she Is guilty la OMH
of the most remarkable capital criminals fja
the age. ' vl
A family quarrel and Lizzie's desire to get $S
share of ber fathefa estate are the motives "11
figuring la the theory ot her commission ()
tbe crime. -?i
The murdered couplo were evldenttr'j
killed by blows from an axe or hatchet, fiT(
and their bodies bore many wound. .1

well aud quietly done that the servant work- 'n
