father so shortly after the demise of the
mother has come with an added
Force of Addiction.
The arrival d the undertaker'S wagon
with the coffin at about 1880 o'clock
| conveyed 10 many their first intelli-l
| gence of Mr.. GOuld's death. A number
| of carriages stopped at the door with
| friends of the family, who, for the most
part. left their cards and drove away
| without entering the house. Some OF
the carriages went to the door OF Edwin
Gould's house. No. East FOrty-seventh
| street, adjoining his fathers, the house
in which his brother George formerly
| lived.
The Gould home has an appearance
| of quiet ana solid comfort. Ii is a large.
| plain stone building, which about three
| years ago was built by Mr.. Gould at an
| expense OF $4,000. The interior is
richly furnished and the furniture is Of
heavy but comfortable pattern.
The general feeling in Wall street
was one OF surprise, for so many times
| has the report of his death been spread
/ to be contrddicted as soon as a certain
| effect in stocks had been produced
- and no later than yesterday,
was the old trick played 49, that
! 1t became like the cry of
"wolr' when there was no wolf, and ut
| length the truth came TO them as an un-
! expected thing. Regret also, quite un-
feigned, that the famous millionaire's
career should close when he was only
| fifty-Seven years old seemed to be felt
| by his old enemies as we'll as BY his
! former associates. Wall street has
never shared the general opinion of the
magnate thai he was too hatd, too
! grasping even for Wall street, and
! Their Admiration
| of him or their enmity have not blinded
them to his great qualities which made
him the most Wonderful iinancier this
country has produced.
For the past two years Mr.. Gould has
been dispOsing of many of his small
holdings, and today his stock invest
ments are in a compact form. An ac-
| curate list OF the companies in which no
was heavily interested 10 his death is as
follows: Western Union, Manhattan
elevated railroad, Texas Pacific, Mis-
souri, Pacific, Iron Mountain, Wabash
! Union Pacific International ~ Great
Northern. Beside these companies,
Mr.. Gould was interested to some
extent in the minor cOmpan les of
| the Southwestern system and the West
| eru Union, but he was engaged in get
ting out of them and putting his sons
into his place there, preferring TO con-
centrate his holdings in the parent com
panies. His interest in Delaware, Lack
awanna Il Western was disposed Of
about three years ago.
There were many guesses made i'm re-
gard to Jay Gould's wealth and the dis
position TO be made of his immense
holdings of securities. One of his closest
| associates and oldest personal friends
said in regard to this matter:
MIR. GOuld'S wealth will be found to
vary not SlO,O00,0OO from SlOO, JIO, 90.
About S40.OOO,OOO is in Manhattan,
Western Union ana Missouri Pacific
stocks. The holdings of these three
stocks Are Trusted
| and will not be be sold. His other see
curiues will be taken care OF by the
same interests which have had charge of
them for the past three years. Ii Is es-
limated that hlr. Gould held sl5,o0D, OJ0
OF Western Union stock and S20,0OO,0O0
elevated stock"
The Gould family tomb Is In WoOdlawn
cemetery, and stands In plot cOmprs-
ing an acre of ground overlooking
WOOdlawn lake. 1t is known as tho
Lake View plot. and Is circular,
gently siOping mound i'm the finest lO-l
cation of the cemetery. The plot cost
jay Gould $4,000. The mausOleum IS
a copy of the ParthenOn, and was de-
signed by f. +. Fitzmaughony. lt is
built throughout of Westerly, X. L.,
| granite, and its dimensions are twenty
two feet wide, thirty-three feet long
and twenty feet high to the apex of the
roof. There are twenty catacOmbs in
the mauSoleum. The tomb itself cost
800. 900, and the first member of the
family it received was Mrs. Gould, who
died Jan. l 3, 1891.
The engines on the Sixth, Third and
| Second avenue railroads were draped
in black Oh account of Mr.. GOuld's
death. Other appropriate steps were
taken today by the heads OF the various
organizations with which Mr.. Gould
was prominently connected. Flags are
flying at half-mast on the Fifth Avenue,
ST. James and Albemarle hotel.
HELEN Gould Sick.
The Gould mansion was almost
Shroued in darkness this evening. Every
bling was drawn, and but FAINT glitterS
of light were visible IN some OF the
| windows. DIR. John Il. Mum, Mr..
Gould's physician, renamed in the
house until late in the evening. 1t IS
understood that some anxiety Is felt by
the other members of the family about
| Miss Helen GOuld's condition. Since her
mothers death she and her father have
| been greatly attached 10 each other. In
the early part of this week she was
seized with severe cold. which coil
fined her To her room. Her fathers lll-i
ness and the news of his death almost
Frustrated her. DIR. Mum was SAID to
| have felt some uneaSiEesS about her
| Yesterday and it was her illness tina
caused HIM TO remain in the house.
The funeral services will be held at
| Mr.. GOuld's late residence next Mon
day, probably at 10 a. IN. Rev. DR.. JOhn
| Paxton, who made the only statement
! in regard To the funeral, said that tho
hour was not yet determined, but u
would be either 10 a. IN. or p. m. The
services will be simple. II IS
probable that the general pub
| lie will not be admitted 10
| the house until the late milliOndireS
! business acquaiHtances are all seated
and there will be only standing room
! at a remote distance from the clergy
| mans voice left. Dr. Paxton will Olti-
clate, and he will be- assisted by Rev.
| Dr. Henry NJ. McCracken, chancellor Of
the university, and very probably by
! Rev. ID. Roderick Terry, of the South
| Reformed church, on Madison avenue.
Aware OF Its Nature.
The mystery as to the nature Of the
! ailment which wrecked Mr.. Gould )
| health was one Of the features Of his
! late illness. Mr.. Gould was VariOusly
reported as a victim Of neuralgia or
nervous dyspepsia ana Of several
bilious attacks, aud the announce
ment that which caused his
death was consumption will be
| received with great deal
of surprise. But the statement is true.
| 1t is further said the disease is OF sew
eral years standing; that Mr.. Gould
was aware that he had il, and that his
! instructions to his physician, Dr. Mum,
were that it should be kept a secret be-
| tween them as long as possible. The
secret was we'll kept, aud until a
couple of weeks ago Mr.. Gould is said
| to have had confidence that DR.. Munm's
| efforts to delay the progress OF the dis
! case would be attended with some meas
| ure OF success, and that he would be
able to keep up aud get around Tor some
! years. But when he came OOWn from
/ IrvinUtOn soma weeks ago he was NOT
