and Miss Mccall. DIR. Mum, Mr.. Gould's
physician. and Sidney Dillon, president Ct
the Union Pacific railroad, passed through
Savannah at 1918 o'clock last night, in Mr..
Gould's private car attached to the Atlantic
Coast Line express.
Mr.. Gould was taken i'll in st. Augustine
yesterday morning and left at once for New
York under DR.. Munn's care. The nature
of his illness was not known in st. Angus
tine, and the party left there on ten minutes
notice.
The train was two hours late when it
reached Savannah. Mr.. Gould could not
be seen and Dr. Mum had retired. Mr..
Dillon came to the car door, and in reply to
inquiries as to Mr. Gould's sickness. he SAID
it was nothing serious. MIR. Gould had
caused slight indisposition, and DR.. Mum
did not consider it advisable for him to con-
tinue further on his trip, and for that rea-
son they started for home.
WHAT MR.. DILLON SAID.
"You can say for me-" continued Mr..
Dillon, "that Mr.. Gould's sickness is of no
consequence. any reports to the contrary
Notwithstanding. II it amounted TO any
thing serious he would hardly be travelling
on a railroad"

ness is it was impossible to learn. In spite
of the statement of Mr.. Dillon, there is an
impression that Mr.. Gould's condition is
more serious than his physician would
like to have known. Mr.. Gould was suffer-
ing from a cold when he was in Savannah,
and the fatigue resulting from the strain of
continued travel during his trip south has
told upon him.

Wednesday night, ordered at the Ponce de

At 10 o'clock a carriage stopped undel
