Thus far the New Yorker has escaped.
a New York letter says: Jay Gould's
tomb is to cost $4,000. and will have room
for sixteen persons. In design this "mor-
tuary chapel" as the builders are proud TO
call it, is miniature Greek temple OF pol
ished granite. 1t is to be twenty feet wide,
thirty feet long, and flanked with columns,
eight on each side and four on the ends.
No stone used in the construction is TO be
less than six feet square in size, and roof
stones are TO be six feet wide by fifteen feet
long, weighing several tons apiece. The
doors OF the chapel are to be OF bronze,
modelled by Augustus st. Gaudens, whose
bill for this service is to be $4,000. Inside
the original plan was to close each OF the
sixteen compartments with a slab OF pol
ished marble to be cemented in place. The
latest intention, however. is to finish the
inside OF the chapel in bronze, as being
more durable than marble. Facing the
door OF the chapel Is to be window OF
stained glass, probably by Lafarge, repre-
senting the resurrection.
