Xr.w YORK, Dec. A. .lay »oukl (Hod Rt9:ira. in. Friday. The direct cause of Mr. (build's death, as staled at Die house, is pulmonary eonsump tiou. The scene at the house at midnight was nut extraordinary. an it was stated at that time that the strong master mind hnd ceased to battle for life. Mis children I were at his bedside and they recognized that the hopes of the past few days were vanishing and that the end was not far otV. They tearfullv admit-

.1AV GOULD
ted this to a few close personal friend*, and then began the vigil which only ceased when his last breath left thebody. Dr. Munn, his physician, had Dr. .laneway in conciliation, but they said that nothing could be done but make Mr. Gould's last hours as comfortable as possible. When the end came the members of the. family who were in the house were: Mr. and Mrs. (ieorgc Gould. Mr. aud Mrs. Edwin Gould, Miss Helen Gould, Howard Gould. Harold Gould and Miss Annie Gould.
Hade Thetst All Oood-lir.
Mr. Gould died in a room on the second floor of his home in the extension in the rear of the building", just over the conservatory, the same room in which his wife died. A few moment* before he died Mr. Gould desired to bid his family good-by. Then he looked tenderlj' into the face of each one, smiled at each and all was over.
The Gould family are prostrated with grief. Miss Helen Gould was ill when her father was taken sick, and the blow has come upon her with terrible force. The. members of the family are very much devoted to each other. Mr. (Jould lrari always been very much of a domestic man. notwithstanding his weight of cares from his gigantic financial operations. atid the death of the father so shortly after the demise of tltr mother has eorae with au added force of affileion. .•
A Peaceful Und.
Dr. Munn came out of the house at llri'J. after being there halt' an hour. He told a little about the death scene. Ho said that Mr. Gould was unconscious of his death and passed away very peacefully and juie.tly. without a struggle or a sigh. He became speechless through weakness just before his death, and at that time recognized the members of the family by nodding his head.
The News Spreads.
The newsof Mr. Gou.d'sdeath spread quickly and almost every person who passed up or down Fifth avenue -.topped and looked up at the house. About ten o'clock messenger boys began to go and come thick and fast. Richard A, Galloway. first vice president of the Manhattan oli*vated railroad, called before 10 o'clock. Several ladies also called, but none, of them asked to see members of the family. They evidently had no other purpose than to inquire about Mr. Goulds condition and when they learned of his death they quickly hurried away.
The .Market Not Affected.
The death of the greal linancier inspired unusual regrets but it did not cause any sensational break in the stock market, in which, for twenty years, he was the most important figure. The market was not even shaken, mainly because Mr. Gould had provided against it by placing his immense holdings in the hand of men whose integrity he trusted. There was
110
con
siderable sale of securities known as Gould stocks and no attempt to force a panic was made.
Cunernt Arrangement*.
It has been definitely settled that the funeral services will be conducted by Dr. Paxton, assisted by Chancellor MeiYachen. of the university of New York, and Rev. Roderick Terry, of 100 Madison avenue. The choir from Dr. Paxton's church will also be present and render the singing.
Dr. I'a.Nton said that the funeral would take, place on Monday next, either at 10 o'clock in the morning or at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the exatl hour not yet having been settled. The funeral services will be held at the house.
The remains will be taken to Woodlawn cemetery and there placed in the splendid granite mausoleum which Mr. Gould had built ten years ago and where the body of his wife now rests.
The Tomb nt Wooillawn.
The Gould family lawn cemetery and stands in a plat comprising an acre of ground overlooking Woodlawn lake. It is known as the "Lakeview plat, and is a circular, gently-sloping mound in the finest location of the cemetery. The plat cost day Gould $.10,000. The mausoleum is a copy of the Parthenon and was designed by F. F. Fitzmaughouy. It was built through-

It can be stated on the authority of
one who has been close to the (lould family in their domestic life that Mr. (tonld had known for throe years past that he was a victim of a disease winch under the best, of treatment wouhl leave him only a short span of life. Dr. Munn told Mr. (Jould as long ago as
that that there were undoubted symptomsof consumption in his ease He had then long been a sufferer from dyspepsia and nervousness. 'Mr. Gould would not believe bis physician at first. lie declared that then was no consumption in his family, and that what appeared to be symptoms of the dread disease were merely the effects of the bronchial affections. It would all pass an-ay. he said, if he took good care of himself. He then pledged Dr. Munn to absolute secrecy, and that is why it never had been announced officially that Mr. Gonid was a consumptive.
Mr. Gould was soon brought to a realizing sense of his physician's correct diagnosis of the case. Still he declared he. would get over it. He dreaded the thought that it might become a matter of public comment that he was a consumptive.
When he saw that his struggle against the disease was not availing Mr. Gould told the members of his family Dr Munn had long before told hiin he had consumption and that him had become satisfied such was the case. He cautioned them against letting the fact become public. From thac day oti he began more and more to make George, his eldest son. his confidant in all business matters.
KnttmHten of the fortune.
No two estimates agree as to the amount Mr. Gould's fortune. The most c.oLscrvative figures place it at about SUO.OOU.OOO, while some people in Wall street place it at over 100,000,000.
For tiie last two years Mr. Gould lias been disposing of mauy of his small holdiugs, and to-day his stock investments are iu a compact form. Au accurate list of the companies in which he was heavily interested to his death is as follows: Western l*nion. Manhattan Elevated railway. Texas Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Iron Mountain, Wabash, Union Pacific. International Great Northern. Besides these companies Mr. Gould was interested to some extent iu the minor companies of the southwestern system and the Western Uuion. but he was engaged in getting out of them and putting his sons into his place. His interest in Delaware, Lackawanna & Western was disposed of about, three years ago.
There were many guesses made in regard to Jay Gould's wealth and the disposition to be made of his immense holdings of securities. One of his closcst associates aud oldest personal friends said in regard to this matter: "Mr. Gould's wealth will tw* found to vivv not tto.ouo.ooo from $100.00),000: about WO.OOb! 000 is in Manhattan. Western Union tologr.iph and Missouri Pacific stock. The holdings of these three stocks are trusted and will not be sold. lift othor securities will bo taken curv nf by the same Interests which have laid char*:* of them for the last ibrnnyvHrs. Itis estimated that Mr. Gould held fl.VOdd.OOO of Westcm Union stock and *20,000,000 •i/ atool ."
Washington B. Counor and G. I*. Morosiui give the following as their estimutc of Mr. Gould's wealth: Western Union, S-0.000.000 Manhattan Klevated railway. Si-J,000,000 Missouri Pacific. S17.5U0.0U0: Wabash. S^,500,000 Union Pacific, $.",000,000 real estate $2,100.000 total, Stil.000.000.
The Will.
Neither Mr. Conner nor Mr. Morosini cared to discuss the probable disposition of the property. From various sources it was learned that Mr. Gould's will, made about three years ago, will dispose of it in this fashion: •'Kui'h ot Mr. Gould's six children will recoUc absolutely **,000.000, and the remainder, ith the exception of few bequests, will be held it: trust or permanently invested, the Income to be shared alike by them. Mr. Gould hsurthree sisters, two of whom are Mrs. Houph and Mr*. Northuti, and a brother, Abium Gould, who Is an employe of the Missouri I'acltlc Hailroad Company. None of these relatives are well oft. and ii i* liU»*iy that th^v will be liberally remembered." "V
Heady for Death.
Something less Uian two years ago Mr. Gould. Mr. Connor and Mr. Morosiui were standing in their hroadwav office after the rush of the day's business was over. It was an idle minute and the conversation drifted away from stocks and took a domestic turn. Among other thiugs Mr. Gould said was this: "If I should die to-morrow my affairs are in such Muipc that my executors could straighten everything out in less than fortyeight hours.*'
In spite of Mr. Gould's great interests this statement caused 110 great surprise for he was recognized as a man who always kept his business affairs in trim shape.
