CION.N
Nr.A1:1NO IKVNR.
Nr.w ic, I Km *J. -.lav GuuM is living. He may InoU 011 the sunlight of iinntl'er dny, t»r possibly two or three days, hut if so almost a miracle will have been wrought. Mr. liotild realizes that lie has not hn*j to live, ami has aeeopteii the inevitable with the same resiji'itat son that he showed in the dismal failures of his youth.
Thursday ni^ht he was surrounded by all the members of Ins family, as ho was neatly all day. That a!! hope of his recovery lias been abandoned was shown by thu character of the bulletins authorized by tine family to b-j jriven out through the butler at t»io door. In the morning it was said that Mr. GouhL was resting quietly but was not so well as 011 Wednesday. Later in the day it was said that he was growing worse. and at 10 p. m. the butler announced: "Mr. iJouid is sinking fast."
Latest from I be Siek-Itoom. At miilnirlit it was haid that lie was ri'stiiitf a iittlc easier and mijjht pull thr.)ii(.-li the niiflit. A half hour later. at 1U:.':0 a. in., tin: butler tolil the reporters that Mr. I iould was iu:eoti.seioUb and frradually Kinking.
Mr. (Iould reeuperated somewhat ut'ter niidniH-ht. Dr. Munn sent the members of the family to bed Willi the assuranee that Mr. (iould would uot die for hcveral hours at least. fits Disease.
Mr. Honhl is suffering from nervous prostration following a severe bilious attack, and hemorrhages of the stomach which accompany the disorder may bring on the end at any moment. it was stated\hat Mr. (Jonld became unconscious a few minutes before 11 o'clock, and that lie continued so in spite of the efforts of the physicians.
It in Iloctor Grows Anxious. Wednesday the condition of the patient was so serious that Dr. Munn, who is Mr. Gould's family physician and who has be«*n in constant attendance on the railroad Icing since this his last attack, determined to call Dr. Janeway in consultation, it was given out that they did not consider the patient's condition as at all critical, but since then, according to the bulletins, he. has continued to sink rapidiy.
When George Gould reached his office iu the Western Union building Thursday morning his face was haggard and he bore tho appearance of having had but little rest during the night, lie at first refused to make any statement whatever about his father's condition, but finally consented tr» snv that "his father was not so well, but was resting quietly/' More than that he would not say.
Wealthiest Man in the World. Wh4,n Jay Gould balanced his books the first of the year the gores showed that he was the riche.-o :uan in th« worid. One year before John Uockefriler headed the i/st and William Waldorf, Astor, representing the Astor family," .was next. These two men were thru rated at 5150,00i,000 and 5110 OOO.OOU respectively. Mr. (iould was next with £125,000.000. The next showing placed Mr. Gould at the top, anil it is not because either of the other two lost any money, but because he made more. The magnitude of tho feat of doubling a fortune of tl'iS.OOO.OOO iu one year has the elements of a tale of the "Arabian Nights" in the telling, but just the tamo it is asserted, and with probable truth, that this is what Mr. (iould did.
The richest
familyin
the world is, of course.
the Rothschilds, whose combined holdings are valued at I'fM.OOO.OiK), or 41.000,000,000, yet no siugle member of tho family is worth more than $40,000.0)0. The next richest Kuropean is the duke of Westminster, who owus a part of the city of London, which, together with his other possessions, most of which island. makes his fortune in round numbers about tKO.oou.ooo. There are five men in this country who have more money than that. John U. Rockefeller has SlKUfciO.OdO: W. W. Astor. $140,UOO.OIJV): Cornelius Vanderbilt, fW).000,000, William lv. Vanderbilt about 5*0,000.000. All of them except Gould and Rockefeller inherited the bulk of their fortunes. The V'auderbiit family ban prob&bably as much money as Gould, yet. he had more than any two members of it, and, what is more, he made It all himaelf.
Some of tfc? other wealthy people in this country are Collis P. ^Huntington, who is rated at *45.000.000: Russell Rage. *40.000.000 William Rockefeller. Leland Stanford, Mrs. Hetty Green, William Astor. each S-M.OOO.OOO or $35,000.000 Philip I. Armour, the Mark. Hopkins estate. the Charles Crocker estate, Henry Hilton and D. O. Mills, Wtf.OeO.OOtK and A. Drexel, J. Pierpout Morgan. Andrew Carnegie. O. H. Payne. F. W. Vanderbilt, George W. Vanderbilt and their sisters, Mrs. E. P. Sslfepard. Mrs. W. D. SloJiue. Mrs. H. Mclv Twombley and Mrs. W. Seward Webb George M. Pullman, J. W. MackaVi Robert and Ogden Goelut. Mrs Moses Taylor, James Gordon Hennett, David H. Moffatt, ex-Senator Pair and the Flood es:ale, each of which controls between S.'i.OOJ,000 and (00,000.
Ills Career.
When Jay Gould began business in this el he possessed jTftO.OOO. but the path he trod to earn it was rou«rh aud stormy, and his capital varied at different times from five dollars to ten cent*. lie was torn in Koxburv, Delaware county, N. Y.. May1KJ0. of parents who worked a small farm and were people of strong sense and sturdy integrity. Jay was k» jjt on the farm until he was 1^ years old, but his father found him of small account. He had little schooling wave that given by his eider sister, who aided him in the study of mathematics. He developed early and importuned his father to send loan academy at some distance from Kox-b-zry. His father could not afford this, but the boy determined to go to the academy and pav his owu expenses, and he did go. his entire worldly goods upon leaving home being fifty cents in his pocket and the clothes upon his ba.k. Thirty-two years later, being charged with treacherously selling out bis associates, he laid upon a table stocks and bonds of his owu of the value of 15.000,000.

Mr. (iould wan for years chief among the great gold operators. In March. 1K0i. gold was "down" tu UU. (iotttd purchased 47,ouo.nuo, and then, by adroit playine on the market's dread of Cuban insurrections, the Alabama trouble and Kuropean complications, rusiied the priee up to M.V The enormous .«ticct:.ss of this move emboldened tiirn, who was daring enough already, and be perfected in his q^.i -t study a project that shook the financial center of the nation. He determined to send gold up to 2 0
Kriday. September-L forever memorable as lJlack Kriday, came. The plan was for the clhiuo to call for the j.^MX'0,000 bought on option, lock up the gold in the stock exchange vault?, and then force the bears, whose short interest was estimated at }£0,0w,(rfju. to settle as best they might. Tha Tenth national bank was controlled by the clique, and wn.i ready to certify their cheeks to any amount to facilitate the shifting of the gold.
Albert Speyers bought for them *"u.000.i)0 ). As the, price jumped Gould's agents were forcing the timid bears into settlement. William Heath bid H*»o for a million, The crowd hesitated: no One dared accept he offer, as the price was on the upward bound Meanwhile Gould's partners were settling up millions and millions with the thoroughly frightened beurs, and pandemonium raged the length of the street. While Gould's agent was bidding IM, 101 and Itt.' for millions Gould's other agents were selling all the gold they could privately at 13d and MO. Puring all the excitement and uproar Gould was calm and collected. Never did he have such a drain on his nerve a* this, but he met the demand with a full supply. Wbon th«* price touched some one called out: "Government »*s selling this ten millions." It was a great shock, a great relief. Jn ten rolnute-s the rate was 135 and with bewildered brains and pallid faces hundred* of ruined operators rufchod into the darkness of their private offices to weep and vrail over the wrecks of their fortune*.
The ruin wrought by the speculation cannot be overestiznated. Failures and suicides followed hard on each other, and nothing but the vigorous efforts of Vanderbilt and Drew, aided by the wise assistance of the government, stemmed the tide that bade fair to bear the soundest into bankruptcy. Gould's wily sale* of gold at the time his ugcntff were forcing up the price netted him immense sums.
I'ueltlc Mail.
At one time Gould ca*t bis eye on i'aciflc Mail and hammered the price down some 25. percent. He had made some large contracts tbrdelivery, and when thu time came secured the stock at low rates and cleared several millions on the differences. He also made largely by a 4 per cent, rise in Union Pacific.
Western L'nlou.
Mr. Gould's connection with the Western Union Telegraph Company began in the early part of 1J-«I. I'or a number of years, with the aid .of the American Unionand the Atluuticand Paeitlc Telegraph companies, which ha controlled. he was able to advance and depress the stock of the Western Union nt will, lie waa simply playing a great game with his larger rival and waiting the chance when he would take possession and unlteall the lines, in 1^81 Mr. Gould and his associates had practically secured coutrol of the Western Union. The stock of the Western Union Telegraph Company was at once "watered" HO.tmO.tKW. or 3" per ceut. and Mr. Gould became the leading spirit in that company, directing it* uffair.from his o.T.ces. which were 1n that building. Nothing #lr. Gould ever did in his lifo so arrayed public -untiment against hiui as this creation of the telegraphic monopoly. Kventually the Western Union acquired the Baltimore A Ohio telegraph, which Kobert Garrett was glad to sell in order to get money to help the Baltimore & Ohio railroud out of the difficulty into which it had fallen.
On the Vlrlnk of Rtiln.
Gould's fortune was on the verge of ruin dt:r ing the second week of May, 1884, that period of wild financial dread and distrust following the fuilure of Grant & Ward. He was nearer being "broke" then than at any period since black Friday. Then he threw the burden by wiiy manipulation on his opponents, combined to compass his undoing if it were possible, and all things seemed possible in those days when the panics of lf*7 and 1HTU bade fair to llnd their parallel in Wall street. It wa" generally known that Gould was heavily Involved in the smash of Grant J: Ward, and hf soon found arrayed against him every bear operator in the streot Hetore Mr. Gould extricated himself from his difficulties he sold out his entire holding of stock in the Mercantile Trust Company.
From company after company Mr. Gould retired, and it was not until the summer of iHSt was well advanced that he rested easily and could look complacently on the market and call it his own. During the year more than forty railroads had passed into the hands of receivers, among them the New York & New Knglatid road, in which Mr. Gould had been particularly interested.
Arnved at llobart, and canvassing the town for work, he got a chance to keep books for the village blacksmith, who had started a little ••Lyiiclhursl." store next the shop. This helped him out. He The Gould summer house is at "I.yndhurst." spent mornings and evenings with the son of near Irvington. up the Hudson, and comurises Vulcan and paid his way at school.

Serfft. McCrea almost at the same time drew his revolver, aud the. desperado, realizing that resistance was useless, complied with the rei|iicst and was handc.ull'ed. Wyatt's pistol, which dropped on the Hour, was a -lbcaliber Colt's. It was a dangerous looking weapon and would have made short work of Smith had lie not been on the alert.

•TOT.IKT, 111., j»ee. *£.—All Joliet is still convulsed with excitement over the suspension of the. Stone City bank aud the failure of the Knterprise barb»wire concern. Gathered on every street corner are little groups of bad-faced men and women telling of the loss of hard-earned »vages.
Washerwomen, servant girls, woodchoppers. farmers and day laborers wore the same hard, hopeless look of misery. Toward noon wagon loads of men, women ami children began to arrive in town. They had just heard of the catastrophe, which meant the total loss of the hard-earned savings of years. It seemed as if every one had lost. Some came from distant points in (iriuuly and Kendall counties, and there were those who said they had been traveling over the rough roads since early morning. Even La Salle ami Cook counties were well rep- 1 resented. There wen4 thousands of them, the bank's offer to pay and 7 per cent, on savings deposits having lured the farmers and laborers for scon's of miles in every direction.
Ait Awfitt Hardship.
Perhaps the most pitiful sights of the day were the men who had been thrown out of employment at the Knterprise works, and had. in addition, lost their wages for November. There are, in all, rm of them living in a little village around the company's plant, better known as Koekdale. It is the approach of winter. Most of their homes are yet unpaid for. Dependent, on them are their cvivos and children, making a community of almost :-»,OOU souls "•vhuse support comes from the wire factories. In the suddenness of their loss there were wild threats against those who had been instrumental in causing the collapse. Men with scowl* ing brows inquired why their children should starve. It is the opinion of the poliee, however, that no violent measures will be resorted to.
