Its Construction Was Planned by Mrs.
Gould, Who Was First to Rcposo In 1t.
The death Of Mrs. Jay Gould, which
took place recently In New York, occurs
when heE husband Is understood TO 10
withdrawing from all business, and when
he would most need the attention OF his
wife. Some thirty years ago, when
Union square was bounded by dwellings,
on tho corner diagonally opposite tho
Everett house, lived Daniel e. Miller,
who mado fortune in tho wholesale
grocery trade. At tho timo Jay Gould
lived at tho Everett house. Mr.. Miller
and Mr.. Gould purchased controlling
interest In the Rutland and Washington
railroad, and Jay Gould married Mr..
Miller's daughter.
Six children wero tho result Of tho
marriage, the Oldest OF whom Is George,
who married Edith Kingdom, the actress;
and the youngest is about ~ years old.
Mrs. Gould brought her husband dowry
OF 80,000, which sho lent TO him to
mako his fortune with. At first 10
looked MS though ho would make his
wife pauper instead Of millionaire;
but the event proved otherwise. Mrs.
Gould's fund was kept separate from
her husbands until recently, when he
turned over TO her some 81, ,O00, 900.

In crowded street car a well dressed.
rather foppish appearing young man sat
beside very shabbily dressed, tired
looking workingman. Every seat in the

and the latter fastening to rise, lifted
his silk hat with his gloved hand and

He Stole an Eighty Acre Farm.

Upton, Oct. 2l.-TSpecial.l John L. Bailey
the notorious real estate crook of Greenfield,
who convicted, as published in THE SEN
TINEI, for stealing an eighty-acre farm from
John T. Humbert an unsuspecting farmer OF
this county, and given a observation-disclosures
fine and seven years imprisonment in the
northern penitentiary committed the crime
here. In the spring of 1887 Bailey bought the
Humbert farm for $500 and gave Humbert
In payment worthless notes, secured by mort
gage on swamp lands in the Northwestern part
of the state, which he represented to be good
and valuable security. The crime for which
he was convicted was obtaining property under
false pretenses- The jury gave him the maxi
mum limit OF punishment. Humbert is lett
penniless and in destitute circumstances and
the general feeling in the community is that
Bailey's punishment was not commensurate
with the crime, which was no fault OF the jury
but of the law.
