NEW YORK. Dec. S-Flags on all the hotels in
the neighborhood of the Gould residence were

were draped in black. The directors of the
Western Union met this morning and adopted
and placed On record a statement set
ting forth the salient features in
Gould's life and the points which contrib
uted to his success. The central point was:
He had full faith in the development OF this
country. and risked everything ON his own judg-
ment Instead OF investing his money in lands
put it into properties which required all his
energies to develop. His industries gave
employment to more that 10000 men. His en-.
terprlscs contributed more largely to the de-
velopment and opening of the Western aud
Southwestern country than any other man.
The statement further records his modest de.
meanor in the exercise OF almost unlimited
power, and the warmth and steadiness of his
friendships and model character his parental
and domestic virtues aud his deep and disin.
terested generosity.
The directors of the Missouri Pacific and Man
haitian Elevated roads also met and passed ap-
propriate resolutions.
