that he was in the same condition.
NEW YORK, Dec. 81 -IBulletin.l- Mr..
Gould's condition at 1:l5 O'Clock a. m, WAS
said to be a little better than it was at

NEW YORK, Dec. Bulletin. Mr..
Gould was still alive at $3.50 o'clock, but
was very low The family had retired for
tie night
NEW YORK, Dec. 1-[Special to the West
ern Associated Press. lit has been deter
mined that Jay Gould is suffering from con-
sumption, and he is doubtless now in his last
illness. Last winter he went to more
genial climate, and it was hoped until re-
Gently that he might be able this winter to
get away from New York to some locality
where the atmosphere is more bland than
here TIE development of his trouble has,
however, prevented the contemplated re-
moval, and Mr. Gould now lies at his
Fifth avenue home in this city growing
weaker daily. His entire family is within
reach Of a hurried summons, and his per-
sonal and medical attendants are in close
attendance.
III he details Oh the SICK TOOh are II9luIy
held within the family circle. That Mr..
Gould has suffered a hemorrbage may or
may not be true. It matters not. The
health of the great financier has many
times in years gone by been the subject of
sensational reports. This writing, now
ever, deals with no rumOr, nor is 1t design
ed 10 arouse sens alton. Mr.. Gould IS
low with consumption. He is weak, and
each day his physical forces less oppose
the advance of the disease. His life may
be prolonged for some days, but his days
are well nigh numbered, and the limit of
his living may be said now TO have been
narrowed almost to hours.
George J. Gould and DIR. Mum, who for
years has been Jay Gould's physician, are
greatly worried. Young Mr.. Gould is
said to have stated that it was a mistake
that his father did not start some time ago
on the trip to the southwest which he has
been contemplating. Mr. Gould. however,
does not like the journeys he has been
forced to take, and kept putting of going
away until he became so i'll that he could
not go.
There are indications that the physician
and the family have fear of dissolution
in mind. The alarming symptoms in Mr..
Gouid's case are hemorrhages of the stom-
ach The first of these is said to have Oc-
Cured on November %, since which time
there have been several. Because of these
hemorrhages, Dr. Mum, on Wednesday,
called in consultation DR.. Jauaway, who
spent good part of Wednesday and yes
terday IN MIR. Gould's room. The patient
is also suffering from neuralgia pains in
the head. causing sleeplessness. That Mr..
Gould has comparatively little physical
strength left is declared by everybody who
has seen him during the past few weeks.
The members of the family who are near
Mr.. Gould are his sons, George, Edward
aud Howard: Miss Helen Gould and Miss
Annie Gould. There were many callers at
the house last night, but the information
given To them was only meagre-"Nery
lcw'-with which they were forced 10 be
contented. Across the way in the Wind
sor hotel, the Wall street men who are
well acquainted with Mr. Gould and his
sons admitted their belief that be WAS
really IN danger OF death.
= H. II. Clark, general manager OF the
Union Pacific railway, and warm per
soual friend of MT Goulds came to New
York few days ago TO consult with Mr..
Gould. but said tonight that he had not
seen him for soma time, and knew little
about his condition.
Russell Sage said last night: "Mr.
Gould has not been strong for three years
or more He suffers from bilious attacks
about twice a year, and these attacks are
followed by nervous prOstratlOn, We
have reason 10 believe, howeve, that the
present attack IS more serious than the
previous ones. What he needs is
absolute rest. There is no doubt that Mr..
Gould ovcr-eNerted himself The week be-
lore Thanksgiving by attending meetings

Gould told me the day after his fathers
last trip down town that he WAS compelled

since"
NEW York. Dec 1.-The report that
Jay GouII's illness had taken such
serious turn that he was compelled TO re-
main in bed AZ his residence IN this city
created a decidedly nervous feeling on the
part Of Wall street men, and in speeula-
tive aud business circles generally. today.

illness does not amount TO much. The

it was said that Mr.. Could was improving.

Broadway broker said: Il have Just this

The men in charge or Washington Con-
