St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1892-12-02

The development of his trouble has,
however, prevented his contemplated
removal, and Mr.. Gould now lies at his
Fifth avenue home in this city, growing
weaker daily. His entire family is
within reach of hurried summons, and
his personal medical attendants in close
attendance. 70 seek details of the sick
room would be fruitless effort, for
such information is rigidly held within
the family circle. That Mr. Gould, as
has been rumored, suffered hemorrhage
there is no doubt.
The health of the great financier has
many times in years gone by been the
subject of sensational and designing
rumors. This writing, however, deals
with no rumor. nor is it designed to
arouse sensation. Mr.. Gould is
now ill with consumption. He is
weak and each day his physical forces
less oppose the advance of disease. His
life may be prolonged for some days,
but the days are well nigh numbered,
and the limit of his living may be said
now to have been narrowed almost to
hours.
George Greatly Worried.
1t was learned tonight that both
George Gould and DR.. Mum, who for
years has been Mr.. Gould's physicians,
were greatly worried. Young Mr..
ctof n1
that it was a mistake that
his father did not start some
time ago for his trip to the South
west, which he has been contemplating.
Mr.. Gould, however, does not like the
journeys he has been forced to take and
kept putting off going away until he be-
came so ill that he could not go.
Mr.. Gould's room is in the second
story front of the house. Tonight there
were indications that physician and
family had fear of dissolution in mind.
The alarming symptoms in Mr. Gould's
case is hemorrhages. The first of
these are said to have occurred Nov. %,
since which time there have been sew
eral. Because of
These HemOrrhages
DR.. Mum called in Wednesday in con-
sultati0n DR.. Janeway, who spent
good part of Wednesday and yesterday
in Mr.. Gould's room. The patient is
also suffering from neuralgic pains in
the head, causing sleeplessness.
That Mr.. Gould has comparatively
little physical strength is declared by
everybody who has seen him during the
past few Seeks. At meeting in the
WESTERN Union building not long ago
he was thin and pale, and, standing or
sitting, he bent over as does man
whose vital forces are rapidly lessen
ing.
His family are nearly all near him,
including his son George and Howard,
who was to have accompanied his father
to the Southwest: Miss Helen Gould,
VINO is suffering from a severe cold, and
Miss Annie Gould. There were many
callers at the house last night, but the
information given to them was only the
meager "very low" with which they
were forced to be contented.
S. II. H. Clark, general manager of
the Union Pacific railroad and warm
personal friend of Mr.. Could is at the
Windsor. He came TO New York few
days ago
To Consult with MI. GOuld,
but he said last night that he had not
seen him for some time, and knew little
about his condition. Russell Sage said
tonight:
MIR Gould has not been strong for
the past three years or more. He suffers
from bilious attacks about twice year,
and these attacks are followed by Derv-
Gus prostration. We have no reason to
believe, however, that the present
attack is more serious than the pre-
vioGs ones. What he needs is
absolute rest. There is no doubt that
Mr.. Gould over-eXerted himself the
week before Thanksgiving by attending
meetings down town three days in the
seven. George Gould told me that the
day after his fathers last trip down
town he was compelled to go to bed, and
he has stayed there ever SINCE"
