LUCK FOLLOWED HIM.
The MiIlIonaire's Penny Showed RIgb
 Side Up Every Time.

The MillIonaIre's Penny Showed Rigb
 Side Up Every Time.
 A curious scene occurred the other club. A young gentleman worth a million or two, and fond of games of chance, strolled in about midnight and challenged one of the gentlemen in the cafe to match cents for one thousand dol lars side. This diversion between the two lasted until about forty thousand dollars had changed hands, the wealthy young gentleman being the winner. He then joined a group at table and suggested that they all match cents for each others watches. In half an hour the young millionaire had watches tucked in all his pockets with the chains dangling from them. The next propo- sition was that they should match for the coats on their backs, and in forty minutes the young millionaire had the coats of his opponents piled in chair beside him. To end the evenings sport he pro- posed that they should match for waist coats. Luck followed the young mil lOnaire throughout, and the waist coats were soon piled on top of the coats beside him. His opponents, in shirts and trousers, declared that they had had enough sport after that. The young millionaire ordered a couple of mag nuns for the party and graciously handed back the watches and clothing He tucked the check for the money won though, in his wallet-N. Y. Sun.

Early last night the patient was slow ly sinking and Dr Janeway was called into consultation with Dr. Mum, Mir Gould's family physician. It was soon decided that his death was but a matter of hours and that the only thing that could be done was to make his last hours as easy as possible. The family was summoned to the death chamber and there they continued vigil until the great fnancier was no more. Rev R. Paxton the pastor of MT Goulds church was present until the last. The mem- bers of the family who were about the deathbed were MT and Mrs George Gould, Mir and Mrs Edwin Gould, Miss Helen Gould, Mir Howard Gould, MT Harold Gould and Miss Annie Gould. The report of MT Gould's death was received with the greatest excitement Tn Wall street. While it was of course known that his illness was not of trivial nature, it was not known that he was so low, and no one except the most intimate friends of the family knew the exact condition of affairs. Since Mir Gould's illness was first reported as serious his health has been,the one ab- sorbing topic of conversation on the ex- change, but the reports of his condition | were so conflicting, and there have been l i'll the past so many similar reports | circulated with the sole object of ma , nipulating the stock market that the ma jority of brokers were at a loss what . to think. Those who have been on the | inside have, however, been prepared for | the news and were not surprised, but | these were very few.
 The news has not greatly affected the market as yet, as in such a crisis the | brokers make strenuous efforts to hold the market for couple of days, thus | allowing the excitement to pass off quietly. As result of the reports Mis- souri Pacific began to drop slowly yes terday and this morning it went down lower, dropping from 54 last night to 4. | The market is dull as rule. It is eX- pected that the market will be ivelier later, as soon as the news is spread in the country districts and orders to sell commence to pour in. Regarding | the disposition of Mir Goulds property | there were many rumors current. The
 one most generally credited was to the
 effect that the millionaire had left his fortune in trust for his children
 Jay Gould was born at Stratton's Falls
 Delaware Co, New York, in the year
 1886, hls father being farmer and small storekeeper. In early life he
 started tannery in Pennsylvania, but did not accumulate wealth fast enough and in 1858 he went to New York and
 began dabbling in stock in small way
 Before the close of the war he was
 millionaire. His influence was so great
 that whatever object he sought he sel
 dom failed to obtain. He seldom made
 a false move, and if on his travels he
 happened to come across a railroad ol
 any competing interest that he wished
 to obtain possession of he would at once
 set about getting it. If price was re
 fused he tried diplomacy.

JAY GOULD IS DEAD.
LAST HOURS OF THE NAPOLEON
 OF WALL STREET.

In FailinG Health For Months, He Falls
 a Vic i'm to Consumption-Excite
 in Wall Street When the News Was Re-
 ceived.
 NEW YORK, Dec 2.-Jay Gould, one of the greatest railroad kings and richest men of the nineteenth century, breathed his last at his handsome residence at the corner of Forty-seventh street and Fifth avenue, at 9:15 o'clock this morning. The direct cause of death was pulmonary consumption. All night the members of his family were gathered at his bed side knowing that he was sinking lower and lower and that the end was but a few hours off. He had never rallied from the effects of the first hemorrhage, from which he suffered on the day be- fore. Thanksgiving. A second, two days later, greatly weakening, him and the last on Wednesday convinced the doc tors and members of the family that he was seriously ill. To all but the most intimate friends of the family, however, Mir Gould's death was the greatest sur prise and shock, it being generally be- lieved that his illness was not serious and only due to nervous dyspepsia.

BUDDENSIEk IS FREE.
The Flimsy Building Con raoror R leased
 from Sing Sing.

NEW YORK, Dec 2-Warden Brown, of Sing Sing prison, in reply to an in quiry from Recorder Smythe as to the conduct of Charles A. Buddensiek, who was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in State prison and fined $500 in 1855 for building unsafe houses in this city, stated that the prisoners conduct has beyond reproach.
 In consequence of this, the Recorder ordered that he be released, and remitted the $500 fine.
 Buddensiek was building contractor, and gained an unenviable reputation for erecting buildings in which the materi Rls used were of the cheapest kind. A row of buildings Tn course of construc- tion on West Goth street tumbled down during storm, killing several men em ployed thereon.
 Buddensiek was indicted for man slaughter, and his trial, conviction, and sentence quickly followed.

RIOT RIFE IN MADRID
Many Lawless Acts Committed
 by a Furious Mob.
SHOPS OPENED AND PLUNoERED.

Many Hurt In the Conflicts Between the Rioters and the Pollce--Intenss Bit: or ness Against the Govsrnmsnt--Ths Wealthy Classes in a Panic--Other Euro penn Notes.
 MADRID, Dec 2.-The uneasiness felt by the wealther classes is little less than panic. The police and military are fully prepared for trouble to-day, as nobody believes that the demonstration of yesterday has speut itself.
 The bitterness against the government is intense among the laboring and arti- san classes. The change in the Ministry of the Interior apparently will accom- plsh nothing toward averting a Cabin ct crisis, as popular feeling against the whole present government is so thor ougly aroused that it can be allayed on ly by the retirement of the present Cabinet in body.
 The day was one of uninterrupted tumult. Thousands of men did not go to work at the usual hour, but waited at the street corners In groups in the centre of the city.
 They were joined by o'clock by crowds of loafers Anarchists and row dies. The police tried to disperse them, but were repulsed.

 At2 o'clock the crowd gathered again, Il ,00O or 12, 900 strong. Many of the men were armed with clubs. The crowd surged up to the steps of the Home Office shouting, Down with the governmentW Down with the city thievesl' "Give us our riShts!' etc.
 The building was closed, and 8 call was sent out for more military and police protection.
 Before the troops arrived tho cry of "lo the palace" was raised, and the mob started down the~Calle del Arenal, shout ing, singing, and waving flags.
 Stones, clubs, and pieces of metal from workshops were thrown through the windows on both sides of the street, respectable citizens were thrown down and trampled on or compelled to join the mob, and several shops on side streets were forced opened and plundered.
 The mob was intercepted and dispersed by police who broke in from a side street with drawn sabreS. The struggle be- tween police and people lasted about ton minutes, as the men fought back stub bornly with whatever weapons they could find.
 MANY PEOPLE HURT.
 Two policemen were knocked senseless with stones, and two market women, who had joined the mob, were cut down with sabrcs. Several persons were in jured in the fight and 12 rioters were captured. After tho fight the rioters gathered in groups on street corners and Il thousand or more shouted and sang at the puerta del Sol.
 Crowds continued to gather in the open spaces until II o'clock. Mounted police moved through the city and dis l nnrSnL thnln nS fast as they Semhled.
