DIED CLINGING
TO HIS PENNIES
New Rochelle, N. Y, Miser
Went the Way of All
Flesh at Age of 81.
GRUDGED HOSPITAL FEES
WIFE STARVED OUT MANY
YEARS AGO.

New Rochelle, Aug.-Even to his last
breath, George Gould, who died in the
New Rochelle hospital here today, at the
age of 81, practiced the habit of economy
and 'skimping" that enabled him TO grow
wealthy, although in lonely fashion. In
his last Illness he refused to take nour-
ishing brOths, because he feared the ex-
pense would be too great Those who
knew Gould were not surprised, for he
had been known here for more than eigh-
teen years as one OF the most clOse-fisted
of men, and stories of his misery ways
were common talk.
Gould was a plumber in New York a
score of years ago, and there he made
money and saved il. He bought a large
plot of land in a sparsely settled section
Of this place eighteen years ago, and
having decided that he had done enough
work he came here to live. The frugality
that he had practiced early in life became
stinginess in his retirement, and he sought
to save every cent possible. He never
made any improvement on his house I'M
til he was compelled to do so to gain
comfort from the extreme weather.
His wife and children endured life here
with him for eight years, and then the
wife began an action for support She
alleged he was a miser, and would not
give her enough food to live on. He lin
tied her food supply, she said, to one egg
and two thin slices Of bread day. Those
he dOled out carefully to her and often
grcwled that such an allowance was too
much. Though the case never came to
trial, the wife separated from the aging
man and went to live in New York. The
old man remained alone on the farm,
spending less money each day, and striv-
ing hard 20 add to the store he had in
the bank.
Though the property increased in value,
because of the fine houses that were built
near him, he made no effort to improve
his place and refused to sell. He kept to
himself. He cultivated a small vegetable
garden, where he raised food for himself.
Flowers were not seen, because they re-
quired time and money, which the old
man was not willing to spare. He had
chickens and often sold eggs to buy cOf-
fee and sugar.
He paid no money for clothes, wearing
the articles of clothing that he had
bought many years ago. He seemed to
take a pride in his dress, however, and
when he visited the center of the city, as
he did about once a week to make few
purchases, he wore long tail coat and
silk hat. The style of the garments was
that of twenty years ago, and the Weaz-
ened, bent figure always attracted much
attention going through the streets.
For the last two years, however, he
grocer visited him once a week, carrying
a few articles to him. Last week his
neighbors did not see him attending to his
garden. They had observed how feeble
he had become and one of them went to
the house. Gould was in bed and unable
to help himself DR.. L. E Littlewood
was called and insisted that the old man
be removed to a hospital The old man
refused to go because he feared he would
have to pay heavily for it, but his pro-
tests were not needed

HUGE RAILROAD
FIGURES GIVEN
Income of All Companies in
United States Was Over Two
Billions Last Year.

New York. Aug.-The railroads of the
United States added 1,242 millions to their
valuation last year and their gross earn
ings were S254000,000 larger than in the
preceding year. These figures are shown
in the fortieth annual edition of Poor
Manual which has just come from the
presses.
The combined statement of all the
steam railroads of the country, embracing
222, 635 miles of road, show total capital
ization of 1888 million dollars, an in
crease of 1,OS2 million dollars. The capt.
talization consists of 7.1O6 millions IN
stock, 1851 millions in bonded debt and
636 millions in other bond obligations. But
there is much duplication in these figures.
The railroads carry among their assets
2,544 million dollars OF stocks and bonds
owned, most of which are also included in
the figures of aggregate capitalization, so
that these should be deducted in arriving
at the actual capitalization of the rail-
roads.
The gross income of all the railroads in
1906 was 2346 million dollars, and the net
income was $50 millions. OF this sum
taxes took IS millions, interest 2S3 mil
lions. rentals and other charges 162 mil
lions, and dividends 225 millions, leaving
a surplus of Isl millions.
OF the gross earnings 521 millions came
from passenger traffic, 1900 millions from
freight and 165 millions from other
sources.
The average receipts per passenger, per
mile, were 20l1 cents, compared with
202S cents in the preceding year.
The average revenue per ton per mile
was .766 of a cent in 1906 and .7s4 Of a
cent in 1905.
The average interest rate on bonds was
3.99 per cent in 1906 and 3.79 per cent in
1905. The average dividends on all rail-
road stocks was 1853 per cent in 1906 and
3.27 per cent in 1905.
The years increase in mileage was
1924 miles.
The total number of locomotives on all
roads is 80 439, an increase during the year
226, So; baggage, mail. etc, 12,2s5; in
crease, LAB.
The average of the aggregate capital
ization per mile of road is 81, 3Ss but al
lowing for duplication reduces this to less
than 100000 mile.
