GoULD'S MILLIONS

New YORK, September 25.-lt is now SAD
that Jay Gould tried to purchase the Jour-
nal of Commerce. He was willing to pay
a good deal more than the paper was worth,
but Mr.. Stone quietly yet emphatically as
sured him that he could not offer enough

Tempt to get hold of the Times, and the
story of that venture is here told for

paper is held by George Jones, the rest be-
Longing to the estate of the late +. ID. Nor
gan. Gould offered Jones one million dol
lars for a controlling interest IN the Times,
but was refused. Gould was evidently
rather disconnected by the promptness and
po>itiveness OF refusal, and turned the con-
versatiOn in another direction, out MS
mind was still set on the purchase and he
presently required to the subject with the
fnsinuatins remark: Mr.. Jones, il ii Is
mere question of terms there need be no
trouble. will give you million and
quarter dollars for controlling interest IN
the Times.
This time Mr.. Jones was still more en-
nhatic, and said: "Mr. Gould, there Is not
money enough in New York City to buy
the Times, and there is no use talking
about IL.
Gould's failure with the Journal OF Com
merce and the Times and the impossibility
Of doing ANYTHING with the Herald, left no

of that paper toward Gould yesterday aud
