NEW YORK, Jan. 14-Mrs. Jay Gould, who has been suffering from paralysis for the past four months, died at the family residence, No. 519 Fifth avenue, at $50 p. m., yesterday. The end came pain!ess!y and the patient sufferer was surrounded by her family and relatives.
 At 10 o'clock Saturday evening Dr. Jared G. Baldwin, the family physician, called at the house to make his last evening visit. He saw that the end had almost arrived. Mir. Gould was at onco told by Dr. Baldwin that there was no further hope for his wife and that death would claim her in few hours. Dr. Baldwin remained until death called, and the tinancier was with him at the bed side. Mrs. Gould was conscious throughout the evening, but her strength waned gradu ally.
 Early yesterday morning George Gould was sent for, and he hurried to his fathers house, accompanied by his wife The other chlldren-Elwin, Howard, Helen and Anna were also called anu the entire family waited about the bedside for the end to come. Mrs. Gould was too feeble to con verse, and answered the anxious inquiries of her loved ones with simple "Yes" or "No."
 During the day Mrs Moves and Mrs Dickinson, the sisters of Mrs Gould, arrived, and at about o'clock last evening Mrs Harris, who is also one of Mrs Gouli's sisters, entered the sick room. Her mother, Mrs Anna Kipp Miller, who resides a short dis tance from the Gould residence at SIS Fifth avenue, was not notified of her daughters condition. Mrs. Miller is herself in delicate health, and was not even aware that her daughter was seriously ill. She is 80 years oEage, and the fact that Mrs Goulds condition was alarming was concealed from her.
 At o'clock yesterday morning the sufferer became unconscious and remained so until she died The physician remained for about an hour after his patient had passed away.
 MT. Jay Gould received the death of his wife calmly, but is much fatigued by tue continued vigil at her bedside. No arrange ments have yet been made for the funeral
 Mrs. Gould has been in every sense of the word helpmate to her husband. She was a Miss Miller, and her father was well-to-do grocer in this city. At the time of her mar riage to MT. Gould the latter was the partner of Mir. Leupp ill the leather business in the Swamp" MT. Gould had already accumu- lated some money, and his bride brought him large dowry. Throughout her husbands career she was his only contidant. She took wifely pride in all his successes, but no ac- sessions to the gigantic fortune that Mr. Gould succeeded in building up caused the lady to deyiate a hairs breadth from the unostentatious refinement of her home sur roundings.
 Mrs Gould was never leader in what is called society" The glare and glitter of fashionable assemblages were distasteful to her retiring disposition Her inclinations made her Q devotee to her family, and she was not only prudent wife, but a most ex- cellent and careful mother. Four children, one daughter and three sons, blessed her union with Jay Gould. The daughters train ing was especially her mothers care, and it is to that influence that Miss Nellie Gould grew up to be one of the brightest and sweetest girls ill the city.
 Of her sons Mrs. Gould always took great pride in her first born George His mar riage with beautiful Edith Kingdom at the time a member of Augustin Daly's Theatre company, gave Mrs. Gould great happiness. The young actress bride was received into the family of the millionaire with open arms, and ever since her marriage has been a pet of her husbands parents.
 The Goulds occupy, when in this city, an unpretentious dwelling iu Fifth avenue, but their greatest pleasure they have ever found at their surAmer home at Irvington on the Hudson. The estate includes .Sunnys side. y the former home of Washington Irving. Mrs. Gould, despite her aversion to formal social gatherings was exceedingly hospitable, guests abiding under her roof being sur rounded with every possible attention and
