Besides these companies, Mr. Gould was interested to some extent in minjr companies of the Fonthwestern system and the Western Union, but he was engaged in getting out of them and putting his 8on8 into place there, prefeanna: to concentrate his holdings in parent companies. Many guesses are made in regard to Jay Gould's wealth and the disposition he made of his immense holdings of securities. One of hi9 closest associates and oldest personal friends said in regard to this matter: Mr. Gould's wealth will be found to vary not $10,000,000 from $100,000,000.

The engines on the Sixth, Third, and Second avenue elevated roads are draped in black on account of Gould's death. Other appropriate steps were taken today by beads of the various organizations with which Mr. Gould was prominently connected. Flags are flying at half mast on the Fifth Avenue, St. James and Albemarle hotels.

Jay Gould was born is Roxbury, Delaware county, N. May 27, 1836. His early years were spent on a farm, and at the age of 14 he entered Ilobart academy, New York, and kept the books of the village blacksmith. On leaving school he had a taste for mathematics and surveying, and made the surveys for a map of Ulster county. In 1857, he went into the banking business.

In 1859 he removed to New York City, established himself as a broker and invested heavily in railroad stock. In December, 1880, official records showed that Mr. Gould was in control of 10,000 miles of railroad, or more than one-ninth of the entire mileage of the country. Early in 1881 he became interested in the elevated railroad system of New York City. In 1887, he obtained a controlling interest in 3,000 miles more of railroad, and since that time he added many more railroad interests to those he already had.

Mr. Gould's wealth is variously estimated at from $75,000,000 to He was never a strong man physically, and in the past two years he failed rapidly. In Favor of Annexation. Stimson, Ontario, Dec. 2.

Then a vote was taken, which resulted for annexation, 428, independence, 92; remain as we are, 21. At the close of the meeting some one raised the stars and stripes, which were applauded uproariously, while a display ot the tinion jack brought forth a storm of hisses. ART STORE, 329 COMMERCIAL STREET; JUST 3STOTE IT TOW2sT As a fixed fact SANTA CLA AT -Has secured The Great Railway Financier Passes Away. THK FAMILY AT HIS BEDSIDE.

His Earthly Affairs Are Arranged Estimated Wealth Biographical Notice. New York, Dec. 2. Jay Gould died at 9:15 this morning. The direct cause of Gould's death, as stated at the house this morning, was pulmonary consumption.

The world's most famous financier became unconscious, and the strong master mind ceased to battle for life, and it became merely a question of a few hours before the dissolution. Howard Gould says his father retained consciousness to the last. He knew that he was about to die, and just before the end said he wished to have all the family present, and appeared satisfied to find them all there. He passed away quietly. Dr.

Munn says he became through weakness just before death. He recognized the members of hia family by nodding his head. Gould will be burried in Woodiawn cemetery, beside his wife. J. T.

Terry, one oi the directors in several of Gould's properties, says Gould told him he had disposed of his holdings in Manhattan, Western Union and Missouri Pacific, three stocks in which he was especially Interested, by putting them in a trust, so they could not be sold. It is believed he has had his financial house in order for a long time. A short time before he passed away tie calif his children one after the other to his side and bade them a long farewell. This done he closed his eyts and was dead almost before his beloved realized it was death. Gould's last illness dates back two weeks, when he took cold driving.

As a result, his already enfeebled constitution could not withstand the light ailment. He began sinking rapidly from an early hour last night. After an attack of coughing, he became unconscious, and then it was that Dr. Munn and Dr. Janeway recognized that the end was hear.

He seemed to rally just before 7 o'clock, but it was no' until 9 o'clock there was evidence of returning conscioufnesR, when he bade the members of the family farewell, and they with Dr. Munn were at the bedside when the end came. The Gould family is prostrated with grief. Mit-s Helen Gould was ill when her father was taken sick, and the blow came upon her with ttni ble force. The members of the family were very much devoted to each other.

Goold had always been very much of a domestic man, notwithstanding the enormous weight of cares from his gigantic financial operations, and the death of the father so shortly after that of the mother comes with added force to afliie-tion. The general feeling in Wall street is one of surprise, for so many times has the report of his death spread, to be con tradicted as soon as certain effect in stocks had been produced. So often, no later than yesterday, was the old trick played, that it like the cry of "wolf" when there was no wolf, and at length the truth came to them as an unexpected Kegret also, quite uofeigned regret, ituit the famous millionaire's career sh close when he was only 57 years ol seeme 1 to be felt by old enemies as we.i as' by former associates. Wall street never bhaied the general opinion of the magnate that tie was too hard, too grasping, even for street, and admiration of him or enmity had not blinded them to the great qualities which made him the most wonderful financier the country ever produced. For the past two years, Gould has been disposing of many of his small holdings, and today his stock investments are in compact form.

An accurate list of the companies in which he was heavily interested to his death, are as follows: Western Union, Manhattan Elevated railway, Texas Pacific, Missouri Pacific, iron Mountain, Wabash, Union Pacific, DYSPEPSIA.

2. The scheme for a solution of the monetary problem sub mitted to the international mone'arv conference by Rothschild has been re jected by the committee to which it wae referred, on the votes of the delegates from France, Italy, Belgium, Norwav, Sweden and Russia. 1 he nrst objection to the plan was from the delegates of the nations belonging to the Latin onion They disapproved of the proposal that torty-three pence be fixed as the man mum purchase price of silver. This figure was consequently withdrawn in favor of a higher one, but this concession failed to reconcile the opposition. The report will be submitted this afternoon by Raffalovitch, of Russia, chairman of the committee.

It declares Rothschild's proposals are of great interest and worthy of full discussion, but the com niittee by a vote of 7 to 6 declined to adopt it. The Stock Market Firm. New York, Dec. 2. Considering the death of the most active manipulator oi the stock market in the annala of all street, the stock exchange is eineularlv free from excitement.

Not only fluctua tions in prues are comparatively small, but the volume of business is leBg than often on ordinary days. It has been claimed lately that the death of Jay Gould would throw the market in a panic. Exactly the contrary occurred. The bears made eeveral attempts to get prices lower, but even the so-called Gould stock yielded but slightly. The Missouri Pacific ran off but the Western Union, Union Pacific, and the Wabash yielded only fractionally, and quickly recovered.

American sugar declined ijg. There was a much firmer feeling in the afternoon, the market closing strong and on the advance. Wanhlnstou's Exhibit, Etc.
