NEW York, Dec. 2.--Jay Gould
died at 0:i5 this morning OF consump.

ms CONDITION LAST NIGHT.
II has been determined that Jay
Gould Is suffering IRON consumption,
and u doubtless now In his last iilness.
Last winter he went 10 u genial ell mate,
and II wa. hoped until recently that
lie might be able this winter to get
away rom New York 10 somu locality
where tho atmosphere Is more bland
than here. The development Of his
trouble has, however, prevented hts
contemplated removal, and Gould now
Hes In his Filth avenue home In this
city growing weaker daily. His entire
family Ia within reach OF hurried
summons, and peroonal and medical
attendants are In close attendance.
To seek the details OF the slckroum
would be fruiiless effort, for such
information In rigidly held within the
lamlly circle. That Gould has, a. has
been ruinored, suffered n hsmorrhnge
may or may not be true. II matters
not. The health Of tile great finanoier
has many times In years gone by been
the subject OF sensational and design
Ing rumors. This writing. however,
deals with no rumor. nor In II design ned
To create u sensation. Gould Is low
with consumption. He Is weak, and
each day his physical forces less oppose
the advance oi the disease. HIS life
may be prolonged SONS days, but his
days are well nigh numbered and the
limit OF his living may be said to be
narrowed almost to hours.
II islearned tonight that both George
Gould and DIR. Mum are greatly wor.
ried. The alarming symptoms In
Gould's case arc the hemorrhages Of
the stomach. The first OF these oc.
Cured on November 23ti, since which
time there have been several. Because
OF the hemorrhages DIR. Mum called

house tonight, but the information given
them was only the meager answer

forced 10 be content.
RUSSELL SAGE SAID TONIGHT:
"Mr. Gould has not been strong for the
past three years or more. He suffers
from bilious attacis about twice a year,
and these attacks are followed by
