Janeway in consultation, but they said
that nothing could be done but make
Mr.. Gould's last hours as comfortable
as possible. When the end came the
mem ers Of the family who were in the
house were: Mr.. and Mrs Geo. Gould,
Mr. and Mrs Edwin Gould, Miss Helen
Gould, Mr. Howard Gould. Mr. Harold
Gould and Miss Annie Gould.
The news Of Mr.. Gould's death spread
quickly aud almost every person who
passed up or down Fifth avenue stopped
and looked at the house. About 10 o'clock
messenger boys began to come thick and
fast Richard A. Galloway, first vice.
president of the Manhattan elevated
railroad, called before 10 o'clock
Several ladies called, but none Of them
asked to see members Of the family.
They evidently had no other purpose
than 10 inquire about Mr.. Gould's con-
dition and when they learned of his
death they quickly hurried away.
At li:O5 Rev. DIR. John T. Paxton en-
tered the house, and left there about
twenty minutes afterwards. lie told
the reporters that Mr.. Gould's end was

funeral services will be held at the
house The place Of intcrment will
probably bc in the same cemetery where
his wife lies.
Miss Helen Gould, who has been III
for some time, is worse, the shock of
her fathers death having come upon
her with terrible force.
John +. Terry who has been con.
nected with Mr.. Gould for years, and
who is director in Il number OF the
Gould properties, says: "Mr. Gould
stated recently that he had trusted, TO
use his own expression, the three
stocks in which he was most interested,
and that they could not be sold"
The three stocks referred to are Man
haitian, Western Union and Missouri
Pacific. The general opinion on the
street is that Mr., Gould has had his
house in good order for long time.
Interviews with prominent bankers
and brokers are to the effect that the
death of Mr.. Gould will not have much
influence on the market either way.
