DEATh-BED SCENES.
Jay Gould, the Great Railway King,
Passes Quietly Away.

The last scenes around the death bee
of Jay Gould, Americas great railway
magnate, and the prince of modern
financiers, were of sad and affecting
nature. AS the dread hour of death
approached, the entire family gathered
around the bedside of the dying man
When dissolution took place, at 9:15
yesterday morning, the following
members of Mr.. Gould's immediate
family were present: Mr.. and Mrs
George j, Gould, Mr., and Mrs. Edwin
Gould, Miss Helen Gould, Howard
Gould, Harold Gould, Master Frank
Gould anG Miss Hannah Gould.
After an interval of unconscious
ness, the dying man regained his men,
tai faculties for brief space, before
deaths chilly fingers stilled forever
the throbbing Of his now weak and ell
feebled heart. AS might have been
expected of so kind and devoted hus-
band and father, his "ruling passion,
strong in death" was for the presence
and support of his loved ones. A few
moments before death, he opened his
eyes and glancing around the room
his face became lighted up with a
look of loving recognition, as his gaze
rested upon each beloved face. Al
though weakened by the near ap-
proach of death, he gathered strenth to
beckon each member of his family to
his bedside, and speaking in low,
feeble, though perfectly clear and dis
tinct voice, he addressed several
words of loving farewell to each of
his children in turn. Ere his last
feeble utterance had ceased to vibrate
upon the ears of his hearers, the tired
eyelids closed, a calm and serene look
took possession of the countenance, a
placid smile lit upon the dying face
with momentary glow and Jay
Goulds spirit winged its aerial flight
to the God who gave it, leaving lis
mortal tenement still ana cold in
death.

Trade Report.

In their weekly review of trade, r.
G. Dun & Co. say that the beginning
of gold exports In November and
their expected continuance this week,
the death of Mr.. Gould and the un-
favorable reports of the silver con-
ference, have had tendency to affect
all speculative markets. They also an
nounce some evidence of diminished
activity in business, Notwithstanding
the manufacturers are being kept fair
ly busy with orders from the trade.
This arises from scarcity of new or
| ders for future trade. At the same
time there is general confidence that
business early next year will be active
and prosperous. A setback in specu-
lation would be by no means an un-
mixed evil, but there are no signs of
disturbance at present, though the
money markets are working little
closer.
The money market is very active at
Milwaukee and business fairly good
in spite Of the damp weather. Colder
weather is needed at Minneapolis,
where collections are only fair and the
-four market dull, but trade there and
OF ST. Paul, OH the whole, is good. A
slight decline is seen in some lines at
Omaha, though wholesale trade is sat
isfactory.
At st. Lonis business shows much
strength, with especial promise in hol-
iday lines, and at Kansas City trade is
quite satisfactory, though receipts OF
cattle and grain fall off,

Bak Failure at Lonoke.

Another bank failure in Ark, yester-
day. The Bank ofLonoke made a gener-
al assignment yesterday to Hon. W. p
Fletcher 1t is understood that sever
al attachments have been issued

We would call the attention Of the
city authorities, generally, as we be-
lievc there is no street commissioner
now in office, to the condition Of the
street crossing on Clinton street, at the
place where it is interSected by Pecan
street There is steep ditch which
has just been dug across this street,
and over which no bridge or crossing
has been placed. OF course this is
merely an oversight and we merely
mention same to prevent any accident
to persons riding or driving in that
direction. We feel that we owe it TO
the present city officials TO say that
the streets Of the city generally, are
being put into better condition than
ever before in the history of Texark-
ana. This is an excellent thing for
the city and will meet with the sim
cere appreciation and approval of the
general public.

There are, we learn, over thirty
prisoners now confined in the Miller
county jail. This unusually large
number have been ON the support of
the county, with slight variation IN
numbers, for the past two months.
This is the result, of course, of the alb
sence of any court at the last regular
term, bringing the criminal business
of two terms before the present ses-
sion. While this is unfortunate for
the county, yet 1t was in the nature of
things unavoidable. We trust now,
however, under the able management
of Judge Hearn, that the criminal
docket will be cleared, leaving the
county free from the onerous burden
of expense, occasioned by feeding so
many idle mouths.

Much talk has been INDUCED IN re-
Gently over the proposed building of q
city market in Texarkana. Few sub
jects have been frought with such
vital interest TO the masses Of our peo-
pie, as that which attaches to this sub
ject of public market In almost
every city of Texarkana's size and
commercial Importance an institution
Of this kind has been built, and is sus-
tanned with benefit to the people and
profit to the city. There Is at present
vacant block Of ground in our city,
which by reason Of It's peculiarly ex-
cellent situation, size, etc, would prove
most desirable location for such an
enterprise. We allude to the site up-
on which stood the old Beidler Hotel,
just above the Arkansas Postollicc.
This property, we believe, belongs to
Messrs. L. A. Byrne of this city, and
Brad Scott, of Prescott, Ark. We
suppose that these gentlemen would
dispose Of their property for SO ex-
cellent purpose, at n reasonable fig
ure.

The Levy Court has now finished up
its revision of the assessments, except
us 1t relates to the poll-taxables OF Will
mington, and here 1t is met with a d.
lemma. Here the Democrats contend
that different rule is to be applied
than that applied in the country hum
dreds. Hero the Levy Court has met
with padded illegal assessments. There
was but little If any trouble in revising
the poll tex assessments of the rura
hundreds. Wherever the name OF u
person was found twice upon the as.
sessmenL one of them was stricken
of. Wherever the name Of person
from another hundred was found up
on the lists that name was stricken
off.
The assessments of the rural hun
dreds have been thoroughly revised
and purged, and they are now being
copied into duplicates as honest as
sessnents. Why should q different
rule be followed in regard to the Viii
mington assessments? 1t this purga-
tIpI VI LIZ ll5Is III tllb CbuuIIy Is n
good and honest measure, WHY should
ltnot be equally as good and honest for
the city? All honest assessment OF the
voters is all that should he desired by
anybody. and to get an honest assess
ment eYery-body should lend his aid.
But here in the city, not a theory, but
condition presents Itself to the peo-
pie. Here are from 1900 to 1000 na1pes
on the First and Second district assess
ments not legally assessed The per-
SONS these names represent do not
live in the wards nor in the districts
in which they are assessed.
The law provides fine OF not less
than SlC0, nor more than $500, TO he
collected from the assessor who would
assess q man i'll his district, not resd-
ing in it, How can these men be legally
assessed, when such u heavy fine is
| provided for the assessor who Illegally
assesses them?
These 1900 to 1000 illegal assessme nte
stare the Levy Court members in the
face. What can they do about it? They
can strike them off. What will they dc
about it? That remains to be seen
But, as the names are clearly illegally
assessed, what can tho Levy Court dc
according to the law, but strike the
names of?

Presiding Elder Wilson.

The approaching Wilmington con-
ference or the NJ. Il. Church will, from
appearances, be compelled to investi-
gate and settle the unfortunate differ
ence between Presiding Elder Wilson
and number of members OF the con-
ference. The conference cannot well
afford toignore the matter any longer
indeed, if this is done the church will
be the sufferer. Presiding Elder Will
son, ii reports about him be true, is
man that the conference should get
clear of, and II they are not true, he
should be indicated.
Mr. Wilson is one OF the most talent
ed and aggressive members of the
Conference. He is a positive man,
straddles no issue and compromises
no principles. He comes up at every
session OF the conference with his
work more than well done, with re-
ports of church increase in members
and in church collections far in ad-
vance Of others. The proef of success
is success itself, and this proof has
never been lacking in Mr.. Wilson's re-
ports for previous years however 1t
may be this year. Still in the face OF
all this, Mr.. Wilson may be a danger
Gus man TO the peace of the Winning
ton Conference. There never yet was
4 successful man against whom there
We're not strong prejudices which often
took the form of open opposition, and
this may he the cause oil tho feeling
against Mr.. Wilson.
1t is also due TO Mr. j. Hessey Dill.
worth who Mr.. Wilson has had arrest.
cd for iibelling him in the Delaware
City News, that full investigation
should be made. II Mr.. Wilson is
guilty OF what the News charges him
with, ho is not only an unfit member
of the Wilmington Conference but ac
tually a dangerous man to society
and society as well as the church de
msnds full investigation. Let there

way had assessed such a well-known

10 reflection on Mr.. Lindsay, who was
in no sense party to an illegal assess.

and number OF other weilknownand
respectable citizens were no doubt
much surprised when they found that
they had leen assessed in the Filth
