BIOGRAPHICAL.
Sketch OF the Career Of the Railroad
Say king and Finnncier.

Jay Could was born at Roxbury, N. Y. In
1886. His father kept store and titled q
small farm. His mother died when he was
six years of age. The widower married
again, and was the husband Of third wife
when, in 1866, he died. Young Gould re-
ceived q fair education and gave evidence
OF that love Of books and art which afforded
him some of the leading pleasures OF his
domestic life. He was but sixteen when he
began his business career. but his famed In
yention Of a mouse trap preceded his en-
gagement in the store Of esquire" Burhan.
The story is familiar how the young In
yentor carrying his precious trap in a snowy
mahogany case, was robbed Of it in New
York city, on the occasion Of his first visit
to that place. The lads chasing the thief
resulted first in the fellows disgust upon
discovering that he had risked his liberty
for thing Of so little value, and second,
for being dealt with under requisition
from the governor of neighboring state.
At the ..'squirc's" young Goud's historic
feat was buying a piece Of land In Albany.

had DR.. Janeway in consultation, but
they said that nothing could be done
but make Mr.. Gould's last hours as COM
Portable as possible. Everything known
to medical science had been used to
prolong Mr.. Gould's life, but they all
proved fruitless. Even his old asso-
ciate, Russell Sage, said that he did not
believe that Mr.. Gould was in any
danger, but that his illness was but u
recurrence Of old bilious attacks. So
midnight came, and with it the first I'M
favorable change in his condition. After
an attack of coughing he became I'M
conscious, and then it was that Dr.
Mum and DR.. Janeway recognized that

and Mrs. Edwin Gould, Miss Helen
Gould, Howard Gould, Harold Gould,
Master Frank Gould and Miss Hannah
Gould. From Howard Gould it was
learned that his father retained con-
seriousness nearly to the last. He knew
he was about to die, and just before the
end he looked around the room. He
said he wished to have all his family
present, and appeared satisfied to find
that all were there. Those outside at
that time saw the blinds all drawn
down. A moment later servant left
the house with a big batch Of kilograms

Wnnnmnker's Words.

Washington, Dec. 6-The postmaster gen.
eral mentions at the beginning OF his an
nual report to the president the chief de-
velopments of the year, as follows: Five
million dollars added to the gross revenue.
The deficit reduced nearly a million. Money
order offices increased two-thirds or from
1000 to 1860. Eighty-two cities supplied
with free delivery. Twenty-seven hundred
and ninety new offices established. Two
hundred and sixty-three Offices advanced to
the presidential grade. Sixteen and three
fourths millions Of miles Of additional serv-
Ice. Fifteen hundred and ninety new mail
routes established, embracing $500 miles OF
new service. Ocean mails service extended,
and pneumatic tube service introduced. It
appears that in the last four years 5,5O1 new
mail routes have been established, travers-
ing $500 miles, that the number of post
offices has grown by over 5000, the number
Of money order offices over 9 200, and the

Tho Execution Of Pofsoner Cream.

LONDON Nov la-Notwithstanding the orders
that the execution of Thomas Neill Cream be
private, a representative of the Associated Press
was admitted to the prison. Neiil spent a rest
less night, and this morning paid little heed to
the ministratons of the chaplain. Hangman
Ellington entered the cell few minutes be fore
o clock. and, with his assistants, fastened the
leather belt around the condemned mans waist.
With straps they securely piuioned his arms at
the elbows and wrists. Neill submitted without
utteriug Il word. The procession to the gallows
was then formed headed by the chief warden
and followed by the chaplain reading the funeral
service Neill came next, with a warden on
either side. He walked firmly, though deadly
pallor had oyerspreai his face. which. however,
showed TO other signs of emotion. The hang
man brought up the rear. When Neiil arrived
at the scatfold the white Cap was pulled
down over his eyes, aud Ellington guided him
onto tho trap door beneath the cross beam from
which the rope dangied. TIE hsngmans as
sistants then deity piuioned Neili's legs, the
moose was adjusted around his neck, the execu-
toner stepped back, pressed the lever and Neill
fell i've feet into the pit There were convul-
sive twitehings of the muscles for n few sec
onds, and then the body hung motionless.
Death hai evidently been instantaneous and
painless Ne!ll was remarkably calm and self
possessed throughout. Just before the cap was
drawn down he thanked the prison officials for
their Kindness. He seemed resigned 10 his fa;e.
and told the under sheriff that the last two days
had been the calmesi snd perhaps the hsppiest
of his life. He declined 10 take stimulanis to
sustain him in his final ordeal Ellington said
he acted remarkably cool, aud almost placed
himseIf on the trap without direction. The
body was cut down after hanging an hour. and
n cast of the head taken.
