jay Gould Made This Poor Sailor Lad
Il Millionaire.
G.. p. Morosini has been associated with
Mr.. Gould for a longer period, and per-
haps more continuously, and in some re-
spects more intimately, than any other
man in New York. Mr.. Gould first met
Mr.. Morosini in the Erie Railway service
when the former entered on his famous
career in connection with the affairs of
that corporation i'll the year of 1867. Mr..
Morosini was at that time Chief Clerk in
the Auditors office, and the manner in
which he found his way originally into
the service of the company illustrates the
influence of circumstances over the des-
TIMES of individuals.
In the year 1875 Morosini was an
Italian sailor, temporarily living in New
York. He was a youth of splendid build,
great muscular strength, and a courage
corresponding with both. One day while
walking along the streets his attention
was attracted to group near the curb
stone i'll which there were signs of an eX-
citing struggle. He fastened to the scene,
and there saw a crowd OF dozen or more
boys against whom one boy was defend
ing himself, but who was being rapidly
overpowered by the numbers against
which he was contending. Mor0sini,
taking the situation in at glance, for @ !
his tall figure through the crowd to the
